Quote HistoryLooks heavy, uncomfortable, and constrainting ... And that's while standing still, like a poser.   If it's not going to be carried concealed on the hip at the 4-o'clock, or maybe AIWB, I'd rather use a modern center-chest holster, like the Kenai or maybe the Alaskan Chest rig.

Well, only a poseur would use the belt loop. But he can probably spell constraining...  You've got to keep in mind that it was designed with freedom of movement in mind while crawling all over a track. The belt loop was added in by some martinet who wanted the troops to "look sharp" and make an ersatz Sam Browne out of the older M6 holster. It stayed on the M7 as a vermiform appendix, unused and ignored by the coverall wearing DATs and CDATs. |

I’ve wanted one for a while and decided to finally get an El Paso before spending the coin on a surplus rig.
 After a run down with Obenauf’s.

Quote HistoryQuoted: OP is correct - never found a more comfortable way to carry it. The military got that one right. LOVE IT! |

 They used to be pretty popular with Marines in the early days in Iraq, with M9s of course. |

I dug out my M7 holster and decided to see what fit.
Biggest surprise of the evening:  S&W Sigmas trigger guards bind up a lot. Glock 21, the tie-down strap wouldn't snap. Glock 17, S&W M&P 9, S&W M&P 45C, S&W Model 39-2, S&W Model 915, S&W Model 910, Astra 400, Beretta M9, Beretta M1951, Browning Hi-Power and Star BM all fit just fine. |

I’ll have to check out the M7 since it fits a g17/g22.

I was 19K (tanker) and we used them during gunnery and in the field.Very comfortable even inside M1A1, I don't think you could carry any other way inside a tank. We brought them on a deployment but were issued safariland drop legs, we were using HMMWVs in iraq

I’ve got a World War Supply version for carrying my 1911 around while riding my 4-wheeler. El Paso makes them to fit a huge variety of guns, but they’re a fair chunk of change.

when I was in, we stopped using hip/leg carry for sidearms and went to the chest.
because wearing body armor and gear, you could hardly get to it when in a vehicle. but that wasn't CCW, and you gotta do what you gotta do, because you're not dressed the same way every day. |
