    I understand where Markm is coming from, these were championed by Centrifuge all over their Instagram page. Petty has become internet famous in LE circles for revising tactics around vehicles. I have been to their VCQB class and it was easily some of the best training I have been to. The curriculum is laid out, the objectives are clear, and it is a lot more than just shooting cars for fun.

    I tried out the RDR Gear TQ holster attachment and I was a big fan for the reasons stated. However, I didn't follow the instructions to a T, and the threads backed out because I did not loctite/vibratite it down.

    I have carried tourniquets holster mounted, vest mounted, belt mounted, ankle mounted, pocket, and on the holster. I think the holster mounted is the easiest place to remember, sure it's bulky, but you also won't forget where it is. If youre open carrying, bulk doesn't really matter. I'm way more worried about the people who carry them and don't properly stage them. Find your system and train with it.

    And for what it's worth, these tourniquets are in a dedicated TQ holster attached to the pistol holster. There's nothing to hang off and get caught.

    Bulk does matter, even in open carry. It makes many things more annoying and/or difficult, such as vehicle bailouts, urban prone, or entangled fights. Having a TQ pouch doesn't prevent snagging from occurring, I've snagged my Eleven10 on many things before (albeit not in a holster mount). Not saying that putting a TQ on a holster is a bad idea, just that it does have its drawbacks, even if it does also have a lot of strengths, too.
    Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
