ARRGH! Shoulda, coulda, woulda...
Anyway, I got to see first-hand Scott's products today at a local gunshow, a dealer from North Carolina had a nice selection of them. The quality looked very nice, I especially liked the inner tab that came all the way up covering the safety and keeping gun and clothes separate. Problem is I had bought a FOBUS Roto an hour earlier at another table and was kinda in hog heaven over it too. Told the dealer I'd order some G-Code from him when I had more money. Continued to happily play with my new Fobus, was wearing it from the minute I bought it. Retention was great, speed out of holster nice too. Until the show ended and I sat down in my car. The gun snagged on the seat and the holster popped off and so there I was staring a condition 1 1911 in the face. Hmm, I thought that was odd until I picked it up and realized the Roto part stuck to the paddle had broke right through the screw hole!
Now how exactly is that "Combat proven" as Fobus says its holsters are? Nor was it very "Tactical" or "elite" and they label their stuff "Tactical Elite Holsters" . I suspect that with a strong grab I could rip someone's holstered weapon right off their side. Not so Tactical :barf: . Now I don't expect my holsters to last 57 years like my carry gun has, but a little more than 3 hours would be nice. I e-mailed Fobus, I'll let you know how it goes. Right now with whats left I could convert it to a belt holster or make a metal plate to replace the part that broke. I still like the rest of the holster, but my day is absolutely in the toilet because I was looking forward to wearing this thing around the house tonight and getting used to it.
