Having the right equipment for any type of game, event, or competition is always the best option. For using or carrying an airsoft pistol, having a tactical thigh holster offers several advantage over other types of holsters and carrying options.
Different people will appreciate different aspects or benefits of a tactical thigh holster. For most people, the lower positioning creates a much more natural movement to draw the airsoft pistol, making it less of a thinking issue and more of a natural action or reaction.
This can translate into more control over drawing the weapon and allows for more control over the movement of the arm both during removal of the weapon from the holster as well as in positioning the weapon for firing.
Benefits to a Tactical Thigh Holster
By considering the different benefits of a tactical thigh holster you can quickly decide if this is the right option for your needs. Keep in mind these aren’t a costly item, making them a good accessory to have in your gear even if you don’t use it all the time.
Other benefits to consider include:
-
Weight off your waist – while an airsoft pistol isn’t heavy, over a day it can add weight. By using a drop leg holster or a thigh holster that weight is not on your waist but rather down the leg where it is much less noticeable even with long periods of wear.
-
Movement – with the thigh holster there is also less bulk around your waist, which makes movement and flexibility much easier. In addition the straps around the leg hold the holster in place, making it easy to bend, crawl, be in a prone position, or even run without any obstruction of movement.
-
Frees up your hands – the most obvious benefit to using a pistol and holster is that you can also use an airsoft long gun with a shoulder strap. The two guns won’t be banging into each other and it frees up your options to choose either weapon depending on your needs.
-
Additional storage – with a well-designed tactical thigh holster you will have additional storage pouches, typically two, which are ideal for storage of ammunition or additional clips.
There are many different retention systems used with the various designs of tactical thigh holster models, but the buckle retention or the thumb break are the two most commonly used in the design.
