With a reasonably stiff waistband or drawstring, the Q-Series Stealth can comfortably carry a “Baby Glock”
The Draw Stroke T e draw stroke took me a little getting used to, partially because of the necessary location of the clip and partially because of my extremely long fi ngers. With prac- tice, the gun started coming out of the holster quickly, really quickly. Because of the extra length in grip, the mid-size guns are easier to draw from the Stealth than the ‘baby Glocks,’ but that could be said about all holsters due to the gun’s shorter grips. T ere is a video of Quesenberry attempt- ing the ‘5x5x5’ or ‘Triple Nickel’ drill with a Glock Model 32 drawn from his Stealth holster. T e video links are on the Q-Series Web page. It’s impressive to see the drill successfully completed with a full-size gun drawn from duty gear. It’s quite something else to see Gary do it with a mid-size .357 Sig from a Stealth holster in the AIWB po- sition. T e demonstration not only shows how quickly a pistol can be drawn from the Q-Series rig, but also shows that consistent re-holstering is possible with practice.
A Gun Guy T is quote from Gary Quesenberry sums up his enterprise’s mission, “During the de- signing process, I kept three guiding princi- ples in mind: If a holster isn’t comfortable, no one will wear it. If it’s too expensive, no one will buy it, and if it doesn’t work, it’ll just get thrown into a box with all of your other lackluster gear.” He told T e Police Marksman that Q-Series is planning to introduce holsters to fi t more guns in the near future. I’m excited about the Q-Series and look forward to see what they come up with next. PM

simply grasping the holster and pressing it onto the pistol’s frame. T e pistol and hol- ster are then simply placed back inside your waistband at the chosen position. I wanted to know if the Stealth could be pressed into service in a more traditional IWB role. I carried my Glock model 20 in

the Stealth at the four-o’clock position with and without a belt for a few days. It worked surprisingly well. In fact, the only time I cussed the holster was when I was trying to remove it from my beltless trousers at the end of the day. T e clip held on like a politician to an ill-gotten offi ce.
