- Do I need more than one holster?
-
If you wear it daily, we recommend having several Kangaroo Carry Holsters for "rotation". If you wear it next to your skin, it is basically like an undergarment (and we hope you change your underwear daily!). Be sure to wash in cold water and lay flat to dry.
- How do I measure for my holster?
-
Measure around your chest area just below your pectoral muscles. Be sure to take a full breath, hold it and stand up straight to get the most accurate measure.
Visit our instructional video section for additional measurement information.
- I am a Left Hand Shooter. Where does the gun ride on me?
-
As a Left hand Shooter, your gun will ride under your right arm in the Kangaroo Carry Holster.
- How do I get to the holster in a dress shirt?
-
Let’s face it, in a true emergency no buttons are going to keep you from getting to your Kangaroo Carry Holster! You would obviously rip that shirt open and draw. This is called a “Superman Draw” and surely you remember how Clark Kent became Superman? Buttons and neckties flew off to reveal that big “S” on his chest!
However, for consideration, some professionals that wear dress shirts, buttons and ties everyday either realize that they will unbutton a few buttons down from the collar to draw when they need to---OR some even replace their top buttons on their dress shirts with magnet closures or Velcro behind a sewn on button for consistent appearance of the buttons on their shirts.
- Can I draw with my shirt tucked in?
-
Sure! Draw through the collar of your cover shirt…and if you wear a dress shirt and tie see above.
- What is the proper draw stroke for Kangaroo Carry?
-
The draw stroke for Kangaroo Carry is the same as the proper draw stroke from any concealed carry method:
1.) Clear the cover garment and any body parts (READ: You should NEVER have to point a gun at any part of your body during the drawing or holstering with a proper draw stroke)
2.) Get a solid firing grip on the gun (no need to fumble and shift during the draw)
3.) Pull straight up and out to a high close retention position and guard (also called the “speed rock position”)
4.) And then out to full two handed extension shooting platform if time and space allow
Visit our instructional video section for additional information on draw stroke safety and technique.
- How long does a Kangaroo Carry Holster lasts before it wears out?
-
Depends on how you treat it. I have the same holster for over four years and it’s still going strong. I have several that I alternate for different guns and because since I wear it next to my skin, it’s washed frequently (hand washed in cold water and laid flat to dry, no bleach!). Treat your Kangaroo Carry Holster well and it will take care of you for a long time.
- Do I wash my Kangaroo Carry Holster?
-
Hopefully! Think of it as a pair of jeans or shirt…if you wear it often, you’ll wash it when it needs it.
To extend the life of your Kangaroo Carry holster and minimize shrinkage, follow these recommended care instructions:
- Hand wash or machine wash cold on gentle cycle (NO BLEACH)
If machine wash, attach all velcro prior to washing to avoid snagging and extend the velcro life - Lay flat to dry
- Hand wash or machine wash cold on gentle cycle (NO BLEACH)
- Can I carry a second/back-up gun in my holster?
