Working holster with storage for earplugs.

[Downeast]

Wouldn't it be nice if someone made a holster that had a place for a set of plugs. Here at the old woodland homestead in the boonies a handgun is a tool, much like a hammer or a screwdriver. Right now this one is loaded with copperhead shot. Over the course of the summer I'll kill a half dozen or so around the place. Given a few seconds I'll plug my ears before the shooting starts. With all of the hundreds of holsters, including the tacti-cool, and customs, I have never found one that has a simple means to store a set of earplugs. Maybe those goofy looking soft ones with a mag pouch or something, but nothing else. I guess I'm the only one that routinely uses a handgun during the course of the day. Anyway, until I find something I'll just have to improvise.

I wear a pair with the cord attached around my neck just for this purpose when I'm workin in the woods or around the yard. A holster with a pocket on it shouldn't be that difficult to pull off.

I'm in the yard and woods all day. I want to grab the gun and head out the door first thing. I can barely remember putting my head on straight when I get up. And I hate things hanging around my neck.

You need something like this with a small half pocket where my ear plugs box is setting. Maybe a simple strap across the top to insure plug box don't fall out. This is just rough spit balling on the fly.

Great idea for a workin' man's holster.

How about stick-on Velcro? Hooks on a Kydex holster, loops on the earplug round box. I've found it lasts a fairly long time if it isn't ripped on and off frequently.

Surefire EP4... just attach it to belt loop beside the holster or put it in your pocket...

Might be hard to draw his gun from that pocket. 😉

I know I could carry them in my pocket and such but I know they will not be there when I need them. I just want to grab the gun and go. The Velcro idea @Windini is something I may have to consider. I have some "industrial" strength Velcro that I may try. Hmmm...

What if you cut a piece of plastic or something else in the red shape. Put a longer screw through that into the holster. Attached the ear plug case to it with glue, a screw, or whatever you choose?
