Off The Grid Concepts LLC just shared with us the Prototype for the ADR. After nearly 7 months of experimenting and trials, they provided us with these photos and information.
The ADR is designed to be a master at concealability. It is as low profile as a full function holster can get. The ADR features a optional full sweat guard and a full muzzle guard standard (pictured is a G19).
• Ability to fit all 9/40 GLOCKs from 26-34 in one holster
• M&P 1911 Sig and XD models to follow
• Rotating swing arm up to 35* degrees for maximum comfort even while seated
• Ability to re-holster without cumbersome and awkward task of removing holster
• Adaptable ride height with included hardware
• Adjustable retention screws
• Quick connect belt loops means no fumbling with buttons and snaps
• Ability to shoot and re-holster without fear of hot muzzle
• Full sweat shield option to keep the gun from sweat and protect the finish of the weapon

• Compatible with RMR, suppressor sights, and threaded barrel
• Immediate ship times upon product release.

I don’t like that the muzzle isn’t covered – if it were covered, it would be less likely to be shoved out of the holster from sitting or being pushed somehow. It would also protect the gun more from lint accumulating, which might not be very dangerous but it is unnecessary.
Sounds like a full, traditional holster is for you
That is actually a Glock 17 in a 19 ADR with the proper gun it does not run past the kydex.
Looks similar to a Vanguard 2 (and its clones), just with a guide to reholster. Might do well.
The vanguard 2 is a clone of a minimalist holster that people have been doing for years. Check Josh Kobleson form five years ago. This obviously gives you the cabability to reholster a hot gun… Something the vanguard does not do. Also I wouldn’t call the vanguard a holster as much as it is a trigger protector.
Wasn’t trying to spark any debate, just state that the VG2 is well received and this should be as well.
Right on, I just think the term “clone” just may have been a harsh word to use. The VG2 has got a lot of merit and once it hits the masses it with take off like a rocket. I have handled both systems and can find a direct use in my life for both. However for everyday carry and being in a situation where retention was needed… (I got jumped by two brodozers) a more posistive retention would have been welcomed. Also I like to reholster my weapon without burning off my ding-a-ling. Summer time in Texas makes me not want to wear a holster at all… VG2 for very light summery activity is welcomed ;). Two different holsters for different situations.
No, I was referring to the VG2 and clones of the VG2, not saying this is one. A few people have cloned the VG2.
The. Vg2 was long before the others and had input from great minds in the industry it serves a special purpose for those it was developed for
Having used the vg2 in a southnarc class there was no retention issues
Neither is reholstering, which is by product of square range training drills
Not every ass-kicking is the same. Southnarc is a great class for simulating an ass beating (or a reality ass beating) but mileage may vary on all kit and from person to person. Also I did not state that I was running a ADR rig so my experience with its retention in a REAL fight is limited. I was only presenting a personal frame of reference.
“No 8 month lead time”, seriously? That’s just a cheap shot and not even true.
True
8 month lead time was in jest and can be recieved as poor taste. It was merely to point out to folks that the item will not take more than our standard lead time (3 weeks) to receive item from date of purchase. I apologize for it sounding unprofessional.
Regards.
Guys, this is freaking Kydex. The emotionalism surrounding Kydex is worse than it was with nylon 10 years ago. Kydex is either really good or really bad. If a company is good, it get can backed up. Simple as that. The world does not revolve around any one Kydex company. Nobody should have to apologize for success or for saying that you don’t have to wait for their product.
I like options, lots of them. So relax and use the Kydex brand of your choice.
Like
Some AIWB makers do have lead times approaching 8 months.
Well said SSD!
I just wanna say one thing. With the way the kydex holster industry is right now It just amazes me how much rivarly there is. For no reason at all. The wheel isnt being re invented. Its being improved upon and produced quicker with the same quality as some other places. Its simple. Spend less time trying to make cheap ass little comments and finding out why or how some people know some people with this company or that company and spend more time trying to fill orders. The more I dip into the industry the more I start to realize it feels like highschool with guns and gear.. In the end it boils down to this. If you like a VG2 and thats the road you choice to take.. do it. If you want something that provides alittle more protection and can be reholstered. Go ADR. Both Manufactures have good quality products. Just one may get into your hands a bit quicker. Simple
Agreed Devin
I definitely will be ordering one of these to try.
Hmmm, considering the VG2 (STILL) isn’t even available (except for the brief pre-order 4 months ago), maybe the 8 month lead time IS accurate. Just sayin’…
First of all,pointing out that another company has an 8 month lead time is simply stating the facts and that is a selling point to me. Some of us don’t want to wait 8 months for something that we can get in a few weeks somewhere else. With that said,I played with the ADR the other day and loved it. Not only is it comfortable,it is easy to take on and off and it cants as well.
