OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – October 18, 2023 – Blackhawk®, a leader in law enforcement and military equipment for over 20 years, has expanded its Stache IWB Holster line to accommodate two more popular concealed carry pistols – the Springfield Hellcat Pro and the SIG P365 X-Macro.

Introduced in 2021, the Stache holster is a slim, lightweight polymer IWB holster designed to let the user choose between left-hand or right-hand carry. The Stache holster also allows the wearer to customize ride height, angle and how tightly the holster tucks the pistol against the user’s body.

“The Stache has proven to be very popular because of its modularity and comfortable design,” said Justin Hoffman, product manager at Blackhawk. “It’s exciting to give both professionals and responsibly armed citizens who carry Hellcat Pros and P365 X-Macros on and off-duty, the same versatile and dependable concealment option so many others have trusted in harm’s way. We look forward to expanding the Stache line to even more models of carry pistols soon.”

Stache holsters work well with popular Blackhawk accessories like the N.A.C.H.O. Belly Band, which allows the user to easily conceal a holstered pistol along with spare magazines, a flashlight, wallet or similar items without requiring a belt or normal pants. The holster is also compatible with the Stache R.A.H.C., which is designed to help conceal a holstered pistol while jogging or otherwise not wearing a gun belt.

The base model Stache for the Springfield Hellcat Pro and SIG P365 X-Macro are available now, with Premium Stache holsters for both pistols coming soon. The Premium Stache holsters combine the versatile Stache holster with a Stache Magazine carrier, making it easy and simple to always have an extra magazine carried next to the pistol.

All Stache holsters come standard with 1.5” IWB belt clips included. Larger 1.75” IWB clips are available separately. To learn more, visit blackhawk.com

Forward Controls and Ghostmen Designs are proud to announce the release of their new collab product, the ASC (ALS Spring Cap). This is a direct replacement for the plastic spring cap on Safariland’s 6354RDS, 6390RDS, 6360RDS, 7390RDS, and 7360RDS. The ASC is a worthy addition to the already impressive strength of Safariland’s lines of duty RDS holsters.

Machined from solid 6061 aluminum blocks and Type III anodized in black, ODG, or FDE, the ASC is strong and durable by virtue of its aluminum billet construction, with a wall that is 57% thicker. Please note that the ASC does not come with the ALS spring and mounting screw. To install the ASC, unscrew the ALS cap retaining screw, remove the factory plastic spring cap, remove the ALS spring, use a pair of needle-nose pliers to reinstall the spring in the ASC, and then reinstall the ALS cap retaining screw.

Designed and made for LE and MIL customers, the ASC stays discreet by being unadorned with any logos or engravings. As always, proudly designed and manufactured in the USA.

If you have not already heard of their flagship product, Ghostmen Designs most known for their “Portal”. Designed to allow dirt, brass, gravel, and other debris to fall out through the bottom of your Safariland holster, the Portal ensures that you can successfully re-holster your weapon and not damage it.

After seeing many agencies remove the light plug to allow debris to fall through, Ghostmen Designs realized that doing so resulted in zero protection for the weapon light and weakened the structural integrity of the holster.

The Portal is machined from T6 6061 Aluminum, is Mil-Spec anodized, and is proudly made in the USA.For more information about ASC and the Portal, please visit FCDs and Ghostmen Designs websites.
