treeinspector Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Hello folks. I've heard of a lot of scouts securing their blaster pistols into the boot holster using a strap. Does anyone have any reference pics or guidance on this? I want to make sure it will stay in the holster when I'm not using it. Thanks in advance.
Chunk Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I have a holster strap on both sets of my boots. Its not "approved" but i paid alot of money for my blasters & I donn't want some kid to sneak up behind me & steal my gun. So I prefer this lil added security. All I did was go to Walmart & buy a pack of double sided velcro wire ties.(found in the sewing section) They are used to secure large buches of wires from a tv, blu ray, surround sound ect. Came in a pack of 5 for like $2. All I did was apply a dab of 5min epoxy(any glue will work) & pressed the velcro onto the dab of glue. The velcro wraps around the blaster handle. Hardly noticeable unless your looking just for that.
BikerScout007 Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Since the strap isnt canon, a lot of troopers use rare earth magnets instead. Does a good job of holding the blaster in place -- but as Chunk mentioned, it's not going to stop a kid from trying to steal the blaster. And they DO try. Often. I rarely ever troop with my blaster or my TD. Tired of the little bastards trying to swipe them.
treeinspector Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 Awesome! Thanks for the pic and ideas. I think I'll go with the strap. Those blasters aren't cheap and it seems like the most secure.
bjsavage7 Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I just put a tiny strip of Velcro between the outside of the trigger guard and the inside of the holster where it touches. It keeps it secure and is not noticeable. 1
BikerScout007 Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 A good back-hand usually sees them off! This is why you need good spotters They're like Ewoks -- we get overrun sometimes! 2
bugdozer Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 A good back-hand usually sees them off! The Legion Charter specifically states we mustn't punch children. At least, not when anyone's looking. 3
Dart Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 I actually just have some white craft foam hot glued in. That way, my blaster kinda wedges itself into place. To remove it, I've gotta give it a good tug, so I can also feel if any rugrats are trying to mess around.
