this is the sink P 365 minimalist holster by a mission first tactical thanks for watching
everybody thanks for watching peace love and guns today we have a very special treat for you this is
of course the Sig p3 65 minimalist holster by mission first tactical and let's go ahead and
take a look at it I've been appendix carrying this rig for a little over a month now maybe and it's
actually my first foray into the appendix carry world and it's been a learning experience for
sure first thing right off the bat this is not a full coverage holster you'll notice that the top
of the slide is exposed there and that's a little bit weird one critique that I'm feel like might
be necessary on this product just right off the bat is it's not super noticeable maybe if you're
just like picking this up that that top portion is not covered like nowhere on the packaging does it
show that obviously but perhaps if you study this part of the diagram here you would you would see
that but um so that might bother some people that that that's not fully covered it is kind
of neat because you can press check your gun but you can do that before you put it in the holster
another really important caveat to this holster is it doesn't maintain its shape once you've
drawn the weapon you can see that it has a lot of flexibility to it so this is more like those
trigger style holsters that you can Mexican carry your pistol with and then have the paracord loop
around the belt and it comes up with it when you draw it's more like that kind of style of holster
kind of a hybrid between the two it just kind of snaps in like that but under no circumstance
should you insert this into your pants and try and reholster it like this because it will do this so
a criticism on this is they are not super forward with that you have to read the instructions to
know that you should not be trying to reholster this when it's in your drawers so to speak so
again this does not hold its shape so it's important that you snap this on and then you put
it in the pantalones and it goes in just like that it wears pretty comfortably most of the time I do
find that this little nubbin right here is kind of a pressure point you notice this all the time so I
find myself throughout the day when I'm sitting in desk at work you know this is covered by the shirt
I find myself kind of rocking this to kind of get this to sit so that it's not a sticking into my
gut or be pushing into my thigh or pubic region with that little pressure point so if the design
were a little bit better this would be flush with that gun and then rounded throughout this radius
on the front it does have this little hook right here so they can hook on the inside of the jeans
inside the belt or just under the belt and so that the holster doesn't come up with it when you
draw with the holster so and oops I guess need to make sure that it's hooked on so make sure that it
hooks over the belt latches on and then when you draw it doesn't come with it you can see that that
hook is holding on to the belt in the jeans right there the fact that this does not cover the top of
the slide you'll notice that there is some pretty significant or I should say not insignificant
where on the top this is from you can see like little a brass line there and this just kind of
black-ish this that's from actually rubbing on the inside of the button on the jeans because it
frequently does that so this will wear the finish out on your gun pretty much like any Kydex holster
is going to you're gonna have little high spots on the gun kind of get polished it down and then
places where the finish wears through completely this is a little bit different in that since the
slide is exposed if you've got anything else such as a button or the inside of rivets on if you've
got these kind of rivets on your belt loops or whatnot that stuff if it's on the opposite side
of the jeans making contact with the gun and of course can rub on it so since this is the holster
specific to the P 365 it's worth noting how the P 365 interacts with the holster and being concealed
carry in the appendix manner this is more has to do with the P 365 itself P 365 it's a beautiful
gun it's my favorite for carry and I've carried in a couple different manners now but there are
a couple places where it doesn't exactly have the smoothest of lines these little bits on the
lower part of the gun behind the slide there's a corner there that's kind of sharp and then the
back of the sights are quite sharp there they've released the P 365 SAS which smooths everything
out gets rid of the sights and yada yada but it'd be nice if this model had smoother edges
so it didn't have this sharp corner right there and then of course this this really sharp rear
sight so that can kind of wear on you I think I might take a fine file and just barely break that
edge so that that doesn't get me I do not notice the front sight even though that is that is pretty
sharp and could you know scratch you know scratch your skin pretty easily the design of this holster
and just the way the pistol sits it doesn't ever contact me anywhere that gets scratched
there is some adjustment to the pocket clip you have two screws that are Phillips head screws
there's a rubber washer between them and the rest of the holster you have to crank those down pretty
tightly so this doesn't weeble wobble back and forth and even then it still Weeble wobbles a
little bit that said and I will show this way you can see that you can adjust this claw so that it
sits properly and so that it grabs the jeans properly but it doesn't stay put even so it
works pretty well and I was kind of apprehensive to go to appendix carry in the first place and
even with this holsters intricacies and things that I don't particularly care about on it I
still rather like carrying this appendix carry so not my favorite holster but it's working for
me and it makes me excited to try out actually really nice appendix carry holster options so if
you want me to review an appendix carry holster option let me know because I'm in the market to
you know get some hands-on with some good quality Kydex manufacturers fun stuff but yeah so that is
the minimalist holster by mission first tactical for the Sig p3 65 for I think it was $25 at Gander
outdoors not too bad as a first introduction to appendix carry it's definitely made me more
excited to try out better appendix carry style of holsters I know that mission first has another
one that's not a whole lot more expensive that is a full wraparound holster design that you
can actually reholster the gun without actually having to take the holster out of your pants that
is a really important factor about this one that I think is worthy of mentioning again this gun goes
into the holster like so and then it gets put into your pants you do not holster the gun into
the holster while it's still in your pants you're gonna shoot your dinghy off we don't want you to
shoot your dinghy off the holster is tuckable it actually kind of surprised me that it worked as
well as it did but say I'm tucking my shirt in I'm not gonna go too crazy with it or whatnot
so we want to tuck in the gun so you can pull the pantalones out just a little bit you can tuck the
clip it separates from the rest of the holster a little bit you can tuck behind that clip in
front of the gun and I may not be doing a great job on camera right now I don't have a mirror to
look and see how this looks but it is reasonably concealed you just have this little clip sticking
out and if one of your co-workers asks you what that clip is you can tell them it's for you know
your insulin pump or something like that or you can tell them to buzz off because it's not none
of their business what's in your pants and that goes for a lot of different things nowadays so
none of their business what's in your pantalones but yeah and we can still get it the weapon pretty
readily so go ahead and real straight this is the reholster in process guys so we flip up the little
tab right there and we pull it out so if you're a gun gamer in that you like to do IDPA or ipsec or
anything like that where you're actually drawing from concealment I'm not sure how much they would
like this holsters sometimes they're really particular on the types of things that you
can use I think that that's part of the reason why we get some unique holster designs where
people just really don't like them it's because kind of the industry gravitates towards certain
holster designs because of how competitions are set up or because of how law enforcement
carries or whatnot but I doubt that IDPA would probably like this holster because you're gonna
have to remove the holster from your pants RSO is gonna have to see you clip this on so it's
gonna kind of be a weird thing so that might be something you consider if you're actually a gun
gamer competition shooter and you plan on carrying this so you might consider something else but for
25 or $35 not too bad of a little system there so maybe we should do some shooting with it so here
we go Sig p3 65 and the mission first tactical minimalist holster we're gonna gas this baby up
we got one in the pipe let's go ahead and put this thing in the holster per the instruction manual so
I don't shoot my idea off and we're gonna put it in the pantalones making sure not to point it at
anything that I don't want to lose and make sure the clip is clipped on the belt there and here we
go be 365 mission first tactical holster and the act fire electronic earmuffs ready I never claimed
to be a good shot guys we're gonna gas her up again got one on the pipe snap it back on and
let's put it in the trousers making sure not to point it at anything we don't want to lose forever
alright here we go ZigBee 365 minimalist holster from mission first tactical appendix carry rig
I was a little bit more on than I was last time I still suck so this is dirty monarch Steelcase
Berdan primed lacquered crappy nine millimeter FMJ so it is what it is and the sick p3 65 is
dirty and not wet with Lube and it's running in just fine so that's pretty good I imagine we'll
see malfunction soon all right here we go one more time every 'red up I'm not wearing I Pro
