PagerPal Holster

[InvisibleGuests]

Hello.

I'm pretty positive I'm going to order the PagerPal holster for carrying my Bersa 380 Thunder. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this holster and would like to offer their feedback.

If you don't know what PagerPal is, I guess go to your favorite search engine and search for "PagerPal." I don't want to give any direct links to the site since it's pretty much just a commercial site and I don't know what the rules are on that but I'd imagine it's frowned upon.

Let me know.
Adios

Do a search here.

I just read something about them not long ago.

I tried one at a gun show once... not very comfortable. (to me)
My opinion? GREAT concept - not as good in reality.
I'd rather see you send the money to the NRA than buy one and throw it in a drawer!

See what kind of responses you get or go to a show and look for one before buying.

I was considering one once, but after some research the feedback was overwhelmingly negative. I had to look long and hard to find positive comments.
Main complaints were discomfort, doesn’t work as advertised, and the large bulging "print" from having the gun below the waist. Plus I don't like the idea of having to use two hands to draw my weapon. Just my 2 cents.

Hrmm... sounds like a sixty dollars easily not spent. Maybe if I found one cheap enough I would try it. I'm getting used to it being in the small of my back although I can't wear it outside of my house yet so I'm not entirely seasoned. By the time I get my LTCF I should be an excellent shot (hopefully) and my pistol should be second nature to me by then. Maybe after I buy a belt, that is. I'm getting pretty tired of the thing ending up in my buttcrack.

I had one didn't like it and sold it. The guy I sold it to didn't like it and resold it. That is where I lost track of it

Pager Pal: Bad idea
Small of the back carry: Bad idea
Not having a good belt: A very bad idea.

Get a good reinforced belt, bet a good iwb holster for strong side or kidney carry.

As stated above, it is good in thoery but not in application. I bought one, it's not even in the holster drawer, it's in a box in storage. Waste of money in my book.

I too tried one at a gun show. Seemed like a neat idea but only in concept.

Unless you've got some seriously natural talent for shooting, I highly doubt that. Not knocking you in any way here, just don't go thinking it's that simple.
The guy I bought my Pony from asked me how I liked it. I learned that he sold it because he couldn't hit crap with it. Thought it was the gun that was the problem. Turns out, he just wasn't doing much of anything properly when he was shooting. Grip, stance, sighting, shooting at unrealistic distances for that particular firearm... The training mentioned above isn't something that you should quickly dismiss. Look into it. I can assure you, you will be better able to learn proper technique than you will be able to un-learn bad shooting "techniques".
God, now I'm giving advice! I feel SO old today.
