“When u need a gun on your gun. Add a Mule stock and you can carry a backup gun in your gun for when your primary and secondary gun go dry because fuck you thats why.” -Sig Glockincolt
I have seen some stuff in my day, but this is right up there with the head scratchers. I am not going to totally disuade anyone from spending their money, however I can’t get behind this.
The GripShot mount costs $135. GripShot is an adapter to mount either a Safariland ALS or Serpa holster to picatinny rails.
Does having a holster for a sidearm mounted to your rifle give you an advantage and shorter draw times? The video says yes. Personally, I don’t want that extra weight on my rifle. Plus here’s a thought, transitioning corners; what happens when/if you scrape a corner with the side of your rifle?
Hey stuff happens, and in a real world environment you bang and scrape all of your gear off of everything. Will the Gripshot hold to the rail? Or will it break and fall to the ground? Now you’ve lost your sidearm. I’m sure the intentions of the Gripshot are genuine and clever, I just think it’s not for me.
It would seem that Nicholas C from The Firearm Blog tends to agree with me. He writes:
“The premise is that it is faster to have your sidearm in your field of view and it is faster than drawing your pistol from a traditional hip mounted or drop leg holster.
The video is a bit misleading as the Traditional shooter takes a rather long time getting his gun out of his holster. I have seen much faster manipulation on drawing a pistol out of a drop leg rig.”
