Fobus Holsters Announce The New CH Rapid Release Systems Holster

Sunday, October 27th, 2013

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.

AUSA – H&K

Wednesday, October 23rd, 2013

H&K is always rolling something new out but we thought this new holster for the MP7 might pique your interest as much as it did ours.

But, let’s start with the MP7 itself. You may notice a few differences. One obvious item is the color. H&K now offers most of their models in Tan. Additionally, the MP7 now incorporates a 3-position stock rather than the old, in-or-out version. You may also notice that there is a notch in the Picatinny rail. This is for the holster and it is on either side’s rail for right or left handed use. This new Mil Std 1913 rail section is also reinforced. When mounting to the MP7 a metal insert is placed behind the barrel shroud and two additional screws are used in order to need up the rail that will bear the weight of the holstered weapon. H&K told me that they are also introducing a new forend that eliminates the fold down foregrip and instead features a removable 6 o’clock rail section.

This is the drop leg holster. It is injection molded and features three (!) leg straps for stability. The release lever at the top can be pushed forward or rearward making the holster ambidextrous. Additionally, due to the holster’s design, the weapon cannot be mounted to the holster unless it is safe or semi-auto. If the weapon’s selector lever is set to full-auto, it will not mate to the holster.

There is also a belt mounted version (not shown) as well as a vest mounted holster. As you can see, one side features PALS webbing. The magazine carrier is mounted to the vest via a PALS panel of pile tape offering more customization based on individual preference.

The vest model crosses in back like a traditional shoulder holster and attaches to the trouser belt on either side for stability.

As for the actual attachment of the MP7 to the holster; here it is, mounted. To holster the MP7, the bottom of the reinforced Picatinny rail is inserted into the recess in the holster and then it is rocked toward the holster into place so that the catch will engage. Due to this design, even with a mounted suppressor, the MP7 will still fit right to the holster.

S.O.Tech – X2 Taser Holster

Sunday, October 13th, 2013

S.O.Tech designed the X2-Taser Holster for the X2-Taser. It’s designed to be ambidexterious and the flap and buckle combination prevents accidental misidentification from a lethal weapon holster. An added safety feature keeps the taser in “safe” position when stowed. The X2-Taser holster comes with a speed clip belt hanger adapter so the holster can be snapped on in seconds, reducing clutter on leg, back strain, public view, and opportunities for damage. A reload pouch also comes standard with the holster.

Limitless Gear OPFOR

Monday, September 16th, 2013

Limitless Gear’s OPFOR is a polymer magazine holster designed for AR-15/M4 compatible magazines. It uses a patent pending MOLLE/PALS quick attach system that allows the holster to attach to any 2×2 PALS surface in seconds. The OPFOR utilizes a lidless positive magazine retention system; a leaf spring holds the magazine onto a fixed latch, keeping it in place. A simple twist-and-pull action disengages the spring, allowing for a smooth draw only when the operator wants their magazine. The OPFOR also features front facing attachment slots for additional OPFORs or gear using MALICE clips.

The OPFOR will be available for pre-order on Indiegogo September 26th. Available colors will include Black and Coyote Brown.

G-Code D3 Disruptive Environments Carrier

Friday, September 13th, 2013

For those of you who have been wondering about the leg rig Travis Haley has been sporting in some recent photos, it’s actually something a bit more: the D3 Disruptive Environments Carrier. The Disruptive Environments Carrier is the result of a collaborative effort between G-Code and Haley Strategic Partners. It’s a modular magazine system, minimal and lightweight, which is precision molded and finished to insure performance in a wide variety of changing environments.

The individual magazine cavities for both pistol and rifle magazines are form fitted and ambidextrous, and are tension adjustable and engineered for modularity. The carriers are designed for use with multiple carry options: paddle, belt-slide, MOLLE adaptor, Intermediate Suspension System drop-leg adaptor, and harness adaptor for use with most tactical harnesses.

Each D3 carrier delivers a reduced visual and IR signature through the use of select camouflage material laminates on the exterior of the holster body. The current available patterns are: Black Tactical Fuzz, Coyote Tan Tactical Fuzz, MultiCam, Kryptek Mandrake, and Kryptek Highlander.

Additionally, the Disruptive Environments Carrier is available in single and double magazine configurations.
