Cool Stuff: An Above The Knee Amputee Guide To Concealed Carry

     Boy folks, this is a treat.  The other day I was perusing the forums and stumbled upon a post over at Lightfighter that really caught my eye.  This hard charger actually converted his prosthetic leg, into a concealed carry platform.  I thought it was incredibly innovative and just damn cool. From AR 15’s to Glocks to knives–wow. It actually concealed pretty good too.  So with J.’s permission, I have posted a few of his pictures of his work.

   For some details, J. is an ‘above the knee’ amputee, and the prosthetic he has is totally adjustable and state of the art.  I invite the reader to check out all of the posts pertaining to the development of this project over at Lightfigther. Maybe if there are any equipment manufacturers out there, you can contact J. or ‘zombiehunter’ on the forum and pick his brain about creating a product line. Check it out.-Matt

Robocop Phase 1

I got this idea from Pat Rogers and hal5555 along with several other buddies. It’s as close to the internal holster in robocop as I can get since I wear pants. So far its working pretty damn good. I might have to downgrade to a Glock 26 due to the grip bulge. Perfect no rattle, easily accessible.

Your all like Serpa-yuck- right?

Well I don’t have to worry about shooting my foot now do I? -J.

Robo Cop

2nd Generation Robocop

Robocop Complete. It took a couple a months but it’s finished. I followed a fellow LFer’s advice and went with a cut Glock 17. I applied super adhesive velcro (loop) from Home Depot to the leg. Loop on one side, hook on the other. This way it will stick to both leg and security band. No movement.

Standard Serpa belt fastener cut to fit Serpa LE version carry holster. Shaved the holster to prevent catching. Velcro (hook) on back to attach to security strap. Velcro hook on belt side of mag carry. Loop side on the other 3 sides. This allows for use of security band. Serpa and Rc-3 attached to leg. Extra mag attached to ankle.

Glock 17 cut down to feed 26 mags. Also textured.Not very noticeable. For instance, I went over to HAL5555’s house and he didn’t know I was wearing it.Primary mag = 10 rds+1. Secondary mag = 31. Plus the standard 17’s work if I need a spare mag in a pocket. -J.

Planet Terror Project

Yeah yeah I got jealous of that hot one legged chick in Planet Terror. I just couldnt get myself to walk on my barrel though… so I compromised.

Plus a hello and thank you to ITS TACTICAL points on this.

In no way am I that paranoid to carry this as a concealed unless 1 of 2 things was happening: ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE OR BAGGY JEANS DAY (IM KIDDING). For all you “its for show… he cant even pull the charging handle back” people, your absolutely right it can’t go back when hooked on. But what can be done is one round chambered, mag ejected, on safe, non stop tac-reloads. Only time that charging handle would be required is if malfunction occurred (and I haven’t had one yet 4000+ rounds on it). And on the note of bolt being locked to the rear on empty, all I gotta do is bang the right side so it smacks the leg and the bolt release is pushed. In the 5th pic you’ll notice the selector lever is accessible finally- oh my god there’s no flash suppressor and the barrel is gonna shoot a big fireball everytime he shoots…..I couldn’t care less, I won’t feel it anyways. -J.
