Body Armor Carry

[Glock Lover]

Any thoughts on Vest (Body Armor) carry for a cop?

Comfort
Holsters
Experience
vs. ankle carry
etc.

We are talking a BUG with standard body armor, not tactical vest carry etc. The BUG being a G26.
Thanks.

Most of the police officers I know reserve vest carry for a tertiary "deep cover" weapon (i.e. a BUG to the BUG) such as a Kel-Tec P32 or P3AT. The ankle or even the pocket would be faster to access without destroying the uniform shirt in the process. In addition, most of the vest holsters I've seen haven't been all that sturdy; I don't know that I'd trust them to support the weight and bulk of a gun like a G26/27.

I know at least one LEO that carries his G26 in a pocket in his body armor.

Had a friend that was going this for a while, but he started having back pain so had to lighten the load on his upper body - went to an ankle holster.

My dad's backup-backup was one of the little .22 magnum revolves kept on his ankle as a trooper, master trooper, and detective.
