It might not look like much to you, but this holster has the potential to mean plenty to anyone confined to a wheelchair. <\/p><\/div>\n
To that end, he’s developed an adaptive holster mount that seems more than capable of being used for everything from home defense to hunting and, yes, competition.<\/p>\n
For Shearer, it’s an answer to a common problem: safely controlling a firearm from a wheelchair. “This puts the firearm right where I need it,” he writes, “with me. If I have to investigate a commotion at night, I do not have to grab my firearm, set it in my lap and worry about it falling as I roll to the door, or go out to investigate. It is with me as soon as I transfer into the chair.”<\/p>\n
His “Chair-Jack” as he calls it, can be moved from one rigid chair to another, and doesn’t bolt or clamp to the chair. You mount your holster to the bracket, snap it onto a frame and then secure it with safety straps (supplied).<\/p>\n
Shearer custom makes each mount, and charges $39.95 (plus $6.50 shipping). Today, he says he’s turning orders around in two to three days. Standard models fit either Blackhawk’s carbon fiber or Uncle Mikes Kydex belt loop model holsters and are designed for Quickie GP and GPV and similar frames using one-inch tubing with seventy to ninety degree bends at the front of their frames. But he says he’ll do his best to fit other frames and specific setups, too.<\/p>\n
When I asked Shearer how the business was going, he said sales were “building”. Having been in the “building” phase of several businesses, I know that’s normally at the very early stages of getting the word out.<\/p>\n
“My main goal,” he told me, “is to promote accessibility – not segregation – for the shooting events and to help others get to the range and enjoy life again. If money follows, then great.”<\/p>\n
“I haven’t done a lot of promotion,” he says, “for me personally I know Ill be slower than someone on their feet. I don’t care, I Just want to be able to compete.”<\/p>\n
Having watched Shearer shooting (YouTube’s cool, isn’t it), I understand that he’s not going to be speeding from station to station, but he’s having a blast competing.<\/p>\n
You can see him shooting for yourself – and learn more at www.scotworksllc.com\/holster.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n He’s learned something I constantly struggle with- staying smooth and not rushing. That makes him more than capable of competing- he doesn’t miss.<\/p>\n More Friday from Charlotte – but if you have the opportunity between now and then- take someone to the range and introduce them to shooting.<\/p>\n
