The new security holsters haven’t come in yet, so my gray whiskers and I have a reprieve for a while yet in plainclothes, but I’m carrying the G22 to get bonded with it beforehand. It’s a good little pistol, particularly with the ammo my department issues for off-duty or plainclothes wear with that caliber, the Black Hills EXP. It sends a 165-grain Gold Dot hollow-point out of the barrel at an honest 1,150 feet per second, a .357 Magnum power level, and it is loaded to match-grade quality specifications. When we sighted in this gun/ammo combo for the first time at 50 yards, aiming for the head of a silhouette target, we jerked one shot down into the neck and didn’t count it. But the other four shots were in the head in a one and seven-eighths inch group. Is this gonna be accurate enough for the B-27 target with competition scoring rings, where the tie-breaking center X ring measures 2 inches by 3 inches? Oh, yeah!
We’re wearing what we wear to work these days. BDU pants (loose, comfortable, lots of pockets, great for strenuous things like going prone and running, which we’ll have to do here.) Polo shirt with the department patch logo on it, one size large to help conceal the bullet-resistant vest. (We wear the vest on duty; we’ll wear it here.) Handcuffs in a Galco quick-release plainclothes carrier. The dress gun belt is by Mitch Rosen, as are the first magazine pouch and the holster. The rig fits us perfectly, as it should; it’s the one Rosen called the ARG for Ayoob Rear Guard. It rides comfortably inside the waistband behind the strong side hip, secured by a thumb-break safety strap. Backing up the Rosen pouch with its 15-round Glock “law enforcement only” G22 mag are two more pouches, both Kydex, one by Blade-Tech and one by Ky-Tac. This match will have some stages where two reloads are necessary, and then we’ll have to reload to “hot” condition before refilling magazines, etc. Hence, the need for four magazines on the person, including the one in the gun.
