Can't remember the brand name anymore, but it was some pretty cheap holster I got from Red Wolf (this was probably about 8 years ago now). I'm not really sure it was the holster, mostly just my physique.

I remember most of my team that had sidearms had drop leg holsters. I had a 1911 type pistol, but I rarely use it. Eventually, I just stopped carrying it because I never get to pull it out and we usually play outdoors.

Like you, I eventually decided sidearms were unnecessary for skirmishes. I died too quickly, plus not carrying a sidearm meant I could carry more mags for the M16A2.

Last time I heard Glock was at 40 percent or so. But then even civilain firearms should be showing up in movies about civilians. And then you are still more likely to see a thug in a movie pull a beretta than the hi point or lorcin criminals carry. And Average Joe Citizen will pull a Glock 17 from the nightstand instead of a M&P or XD.

And as per a previous poster's comment, it would be nice if Steyr did start exporting the M1A series again. I did have an opportunity to fire one at my local range, and I loved it. |

Wrong. Big time. Wikipedia says 65% (and yes, I know it's Wikipedia, but the article cites Gun Digest's Glock issue, which I used to own, and I know it has the same number).
You're again thinking too much of the common type of criminal (lowlife gangbangers and drug dealers), as opposed to the Hollywood criminals. Criminals in Hollywood are always rich, hip, and have expensive tastes. That's why you see them carrying stuff like nickel-plated Jericho 941s (which seems to be a very common pistol for the main bad guy in lots of movies lately).

I read somewhere that the 65% figure was based on number of guns bought, which isn't necessarily number of guns actually carried by LEOs, but I can believe the figure either way. I certainly see police and hear about them with Glock 22s enough to believe so.

I also had a M14 on an EBR chasis. I only had that for a few months before selling it. That thing's heavy.

Its funny that every bad guy in burn notice carries a jericho.
The bad guys/average citizens thing is more for shows like CSI, ncis, etc, where everybody has cliche guns nothing unique.
