BENSALEM, PA (October 2013) – Fobus Holster proudly presents their newest lightweight polymer holster; the CH Rapid Release System Holster, now available for many popular GLOCK (GLCH) and H&K (HKCH) handguns.
The CH holster provides Level 2 Retention while allowing virtually unhampered presentation of the pistol. This is accomplished by incorporating a releasing paddle that is activated by the index finger of the user without need to alter the draw stroke.
Simply slide the index finger upward across the paddle while executing your natural draw and the retention mechanism within the trigger guard is instantly released. Additionally, the releasing paddle has been located on the holster so that continuation of the draw naturally positions the index finger alongside the slide/frame, well above the trigger.
As with any new equipment, practicing to attain the proficiency that is possible with the CH holster is a reality that cannot be overlooked. This is especially critical if this, or any product, is to be employed in a tactical or self-defense situation.
CH series holsters for the S&W M&P (SWCH), Springfield XD (XDCH), Berretta PX4 Storm (BRCH), and Taurus PT 24/7 G1 (TACH) will be released in 2014.

Just when you thought the Serpa was the worst thing out there…
I wonder if they at least came up with a fix for debris getting into the locking mechanism.
So the least durable holster with the horrible SERPA retention device is now out? I can see millions of self proclaimed, over weight “Sheepdogs” with XD 45’s in “Infidel” T-shirts running around with these soon.
Wow, and the knock offs just keep on coming!
Somebody will still shoot themselves in the leg and blame the holster.
Well, at least your finger isn’t guided into the trigger guard upon drawing – but the locking piece is every time you holster.
Sweet. Now the SERPA will have someone to talk to while its sitting in the car since its banned at our ranges.
So who has the alternative that has an un-jammable active retention system that sells for under $50 to keep untrained, lard assed non tier one types from loosing their piece in the Waffle House parking lot?
Not saying it’s all that concealable, but you can get a Safariland 6378 for $40.
Just about anyone who will look for a molded nylon thumb-break holster. The “retention holster” concept is one of those alleged improvements with no empirical evidence other than anecdote to prove it’s worth.
The 6378 is a good holster, I have used it with a M&P 45 and a 226 in situations where hiding it was not required.
I don’t really like the Fobus much, I broke one of their early holsters and never went back. The Serpa I have used pretty extensively and for the money you really can’t do better. The finger placement issue exists but some people are going to figure a way to hurt themselves anyway. I see that as a training issue and more people carry than train.
As to the “retention holster” concept being an alleged improvement-and I’m looking at it from the angle of ‘don’t have your shit fall out when you bend over to pick up your keys’ not ‘keeps it away from a determined or trained grab attempt’-I’m gonna have to call bullshit on that one Bill.
I’m not sure what exactly you are calling bullshit on, but keeping the gun in the holster is ultimately up to the wearer, and not the holster. When holsters get so complex that the wearer can’t draw their pistol in a timely, safe and efficient manner, or intentionally defeat or don’t use the “security” features in order to draw the pistol quickly and efficiently, something’s wrong. Sure it’s a training issue, and now I get to teach not only drawing the pistol and weapon retention, I get to devote another additional block on how to unlock the holster. Or I could do what some agencies do, and skip weapon retention training, figuring that the holster makes that unnecessary. I don’t think so. No mechanical device is going to defeat a “determined or trained grab attempt,” only a determined and trained user.
I can’t believe I’m actually discussing Fobus holsters, I never thought my life would come to this. And I’m wearing a Mitch Rosen….
