If the question, is “Should I?” my answer is “Yes.” Col. Jeff Cooper’s advice — something to the effect of, “If you can’t put your hand on your gun right now, all this training is wasted.” — rings in my ears. If it’s true on the street, it’s true at home. So here’s the gear on duty in my home, on my person, today…
Nighthawk Custom T4 (9mm only). Smooth as silk. More accurate than most. Utterly reliable and durable. Concealed carry friendly. A few more specs:
Stainless Steel Frame Standard
Black Nitride Finish
Tritium Dot Front Night Sight
Heinie Slant Pro Straight Eight Rear Night Sight
Bull Barrel
Single-Side Safety
In the Nighthawk’s 8-round magazines: Federal Premium HST Tactical 9mm. The T4 loves this stuff. Or does the ammo love the gun?
The T4, in Condition One, rides in this Stirn IWB holster.
A custom-made, hand-fit holster, the Stirn exhibits high quality craftsmanship. You’re looking at high-grade leather firm enough to carry the weight of the T4 very well but thin enough to enhance IWB carry, where every millimeter counts.
Riding at 4 o’clock with steel clips keeping the holster at my preferred depth and cant, the Stirn easily conformed to the shape of my 34-inch waist and instantly felt comfortable. With a real gun belt pulled tight, the rig proved a secure and safe carry for the T4 and quickly disappeared under a T-shirt.
The Stirn IWB holster retails for $80. Comfortable and secure, it’s a great way for me to be able to put my hand on my gun, right now. Even at home.
