Dude, I said Desert Eagle.

On a more serious note: Training with a service pistol is best accomplished with a quality holster. Don't scrimp on your gear. I'm a big fan of the Blackhawk Serpa and it's idiot-proof button retention. It'll mount with a belt loop, paddle, and the popular drop leg. Make sure your kit compliments your gun. Holster, mag carriers, and whatever else you use should survive the jump test as well as being rolled around on the gravel. Seems there are two types of kit guys out there: cheap dunces (anybody that uses UTG stuff) and full-out gearqueers (I still love you, KirStang). Find a happy medium. Quick access and retention. I buy new stuff when it'll improve my life enough to be worth it, but I'm notorious for reusing ancient shit.
