One of our dealers sent us a holster he was issued while on peace keeping duty in the Balkans. It is a S.A.S. style leg mounted drop style, favored by Swat Teams. The beauty of the rig is that it is actually two components, a holster carrier and a holster insert. This saves money. All one has to do is change the insert when one changes or modifies the handgun. The carrier, actually a big pocket with legstraps and a belt loop, never changes. |
Large gun collection? Do you change weapon sights? All you have to do is change the insert. As is, the holster pictured will carry most large frame autos. |

"It's a great holster, but it could be made better." our dealer said.
We agreed.
First, we added a user friendly "belt loop/belt keeper" that will allow the wearer to slip the holster carrier assembly off without undoing his waist belt.
Next, we stiffened the adjustable "drop" strap, by backing the hook and pile strap that the original came with, by using two inch seat belting.
Far less "flop" when the going gets rough. |
We then backed the holster carrier assembly with our 3 dimensional, breathable mesh. The mesh increases the comfort factor by adding breathability to your leg. Important when you must wear the holster for extended periods of time. The mesh also has a high friction coefficient, helping the holster carrier to stay put on your leg. The leg retention straps mount with bayonet buckles that, unlike the original design, are solidly fixed to the holster carrier, allowing for faster buckling and unbuckling. As per our usual standard, the holster carrier is provided with drain holes. |
The rear of the holster is covered with breathable, sweat absorbing, 3D mesh. The mesh also reduces sliding of the holster on the pant leg. |
When installing the holster insert into the holster carrier, wrap the insert with card stock similar to a file folder or a cut up cereal box. This will prevent the hook and pile from grabbing. When the insert is positioned, just pull out the card stock! |
The holster insert is held in place, within the carrier, very securely, with hook and pile. The gun is held securely within the insert by our special "memory foam" lining and backed up with a bayonet buckle and webbing. The insert, that is supplied with the carrier will fit most large frame autos such as Hi-Powers, 1911's, Glock's etc. If the pistol has been modified with a laser or other sighting device, call us or your dealer for insert price and availability.
No need to worry about specifying left or right hand carry as the carrier is ambidextrous, just pull out the insert and pop it in the other way! |
