Specter Gear has released their new line of Spartan Series Tactical Thigh Holsters. The holsters are constructed from four layers of heavy duty ballistic nylon with a two layer 1000D Cordura nylon outer shell. The holster is permanently attached to a vertically adjustable triple layer 2″ wide scuba webbing hanger strap.
The leg strap, which is removable and reversible, is made from 2″ webbing with a heavy duty side release buckle closure, and heavy duty elastic loops which allow for expansion of the thigh straps during movement, as well as two rows of imbedded rubber stitching on the inside to prevent shifting and movement of the holster.
The Spartan Series is available for most popular handgun models, including the 1911A1 series, Beretta M9/92/96, Glock 17/22/31, SIG P220/P226, XD-9/40/45, and S&W M&P9/40/45.
Color options: Black, Coyote Tan, Foliage Green, Olive Drab, UCP, ABU, and MultiCam.
Made in the USA.

WOW, talk about bringing back memories. I used a holster just like that,except in black, back in the early 90’s. It’s sitting in a tuff box out in the garage somewhere along with a shelter half, mess kit, a couple pair of field pants and rubber overboots. I didn’t think anyone still used, let alone liked, this design these days.
Probably the salty guys who refuse to upgrade? XD
Whoa! 80’s flashback to Eagle.
The it was ripped off by Blackhawk as the “omega” holster. Early days of the “war on terror” they were ubiquitous.
Chuck Norris called and he wants his Delta Force holster back.
I’ve still got the sand encrusted Eagle holster, well worn and formed from my M9 somewhere in the basement too. Still fairly functional as long as you’re not sitting in a vehicle a lot. I cinched mine up like this on to just the one leg strap.
But will it fit a Beretta 92A1…
YAWN!
Finally I can retire my Bianchi M12!
I hate droplegs, like a whole lot, but I like the simplicity of this. No extra garbage and it looks very tucked and sturdy; no sag to get in the way. I would definitely give this a whirl.
They are pretty straight forward, and if cinched up like this will generally work. I only found them useful if I had to have a pistol, but couldn’t get it on my vest OR my belt- it hangs low enough that it can clear the bottom of my other pouches.
I know what you are saying though, and I laugh every time I see someone looking miserable with a holster hanging down by their knee, and a pile of extra mags or pouches dangling off of the other leg.
I still try to avoid them.
I’d say this is a solid win, all in the details.
The one leg strap, high position and elastic in the strap are all a big deal. the (possibly) velcro thumb-break is the only no-no in my book.
Groundbreaking design, wow. I wonder if there is an option for an awkwardly placed magazine pouch on the front, hmmm…
If the thumb-break is still a snap, like they were 10+ years ago, forget about it. It’s pretty much impossible if you need to reholster and immediately move/run.
Thats a time machine built out of nylon!
serious note, would be nice to know if this product was based on an requirement.
