Spartan Village Mid Ride Holster
Tuesday, August 14th, 2012
The days of full on drop leg rigs are over. Rather, Many shooters come up with various ways to modify their holsters so that they ride in a mid position, below the belt line. Spartan Village recognizes this and has developed a dedicated solution in their Mid Ride Holster. Their holster allows the proper clearance needed when the shooter is wearing a plate carrier, chest rig, or tactical vest that has pouches or other gear mounted above where their holster would usually sit. But, they also realize that this lower ride means some movement so they’ve also incorporated a leg strap.
The lower ride height allows for a proper and confident draw without the worry of other gear getting in the way. The Spartan Village Mid Ride Holster is also available in weapon mounted light configurations supporting the more widely used weapon lights such as the Surefire X300 and Streamlight TLR-1. Check the site for specific models available.
