So I got my 20 year old brother-in-law hooked on shooting. Problem is he wants to go when it's 15 degrees. We sighted in his nagant and shot his 870.
I knew he'd want to shoot my Beretta. So I grabed the 92FS, in it's FOBUS paddle holster, and threw it in the shooting bag. After about two hours I tried to pull it out of the FOBUS. NOTHING!!!! I wasn't strong enough to pull the bastard out!! FROZEN in place. Had to put it in the truck to thaw. Pistol ran like a top. No thanks to the vise....I mean Fobus. Does it get cold in Israel? Anyone else run into this? |

Interesting never seen that before I have sent back numerous Fobus holsters over the years for the paddle breaking off mainly armor car guys getting in and out of vehicles all day flexes the holster over and over til it cracks at the rivets The new design alleviated this some what |

I got a fobus for my Hi Power. First time I holstered, the gun would not come out for love 'nor money. Finally pried it out and found that the holster grips the inside of the trigger guard. This had a fairly sharp edge. It dug into the soft plastic. I softened the edge a little and it works fine now. |
| I cant remember if it was a bianchi, or safariland ( whatever texas dps issues) but my brother tore a leather one off another cadets belt snatching his gun from him. ( if you had your gun taken away at ANY time, you were doing pushups). Snatching pistols became a game for them, unloaded of course, and this guy had a good retention hold. The holster broke, and there were a few calls made to QC over that ordeal. DPS instructors were a little upset that a leather holster would tear like that. |

| I was shooting an IDPA competition once and when I drew my Berretta 96, the whole holster with paddle came out, keeping the gun pointed down range I swatted it off the pistol with my left hand and started shooting. It was the last time I ever used a Fobus, I use Bianchi Carry Lock holsters now. |

Almost all of his other videos are of his little girl. You're looking at the "Related Videos" section, which is a list of videos Youtube automatically puts together. That guy has nothing to do with the other videos in that section. |
