Default Check Your Gear

I wear a Galco shoulder holster and was checking it this am and found that one of the Chicago screws had come loose and fallen out. Friction was keeping the strap from coming loose.

Had that happen with my IWB holster. A dab of blue Loc-Tite took care of the problem. Always a good idea to regularly check your gear.

ANY GEAR that you rely on daily SHOULD always be checked and that includes NON GUN gear as well. Flashlights, first aid kits, knives, fire starting equipment, etc. etc. Just good common sense.

Good reminder.

Yes, your gear should be checked every day before use.
