S&S Precision’s Multi-Pistol Holster (MPH) is an injection molded thermoplastic elastomer holster designed to fit most full-size handguns from manufacturers such as Glock, SIG, and S&W. The holster is symmetrical, designed to be ambidextrous and with contoured surfaces for comfort.
The MPH comes with rigid nylon belt clips which can be reconfigured for OWB or IWB; these clips will attach to belts up to 1.5″.
S&S produced a video which demonstrates the Multi-Pistol Holster in action.
Thanks AM!
This reminds me of a section in the book “Starship Troopers” during training where Rico talks about being so fixated on all of the displays in the suit that a guy could walk up and hit you over the head with a rock.
I had the honor of spending the past few days with some outstanding folks from the Task Force Dagger Foundation. I am very impressed with what I’ve seen.
Our Mission: Task Force Dagger Foundation is a United States Army Special Operations Command based organization dedicated to providing assistance to all wounded, ill, or injured members and their families and the families of casualties of the U.S. Special Operations Command.
The Task Force Dagger Foundation was established in July of 2009 and is a federally recognized 501(c) (3) non profit foundation. The Foundation assists US Special Operations Command (SOCOM) service members and their families when a valid need is identified. In fact, the Foundation works with the SOCOM Care Coalition.
The work they have done is no less than amazing. The wounds suffered by the men they’ve assisted are devastating to be sure, but Task Force Dagger Foundation has made the best treatments available to them and it has really paid off.
It’s not cheap to help these guys out and that’s why I’m personally appealing to you to consider making a donation to this great cause. There’s very little overhead and they are putting donations right to work to help wounded SOF personnel and their families.
(Wilsonville, OR)— The Pacific Northwest Defense Coalition (PNDC) recently recognized Crimson Trace with a prestigious 10-year Membership Award. The honor was bestowed during the Coalition’s annual awards banquet held in Oregon.
“Crimson Trace is honored to receive this recognition for its support of the Pacific Northwest Defense Coalition,” stated Lewis Danielson, Crimson Trace Founder and Chairman of the Board. “Our employees are proud to help and support the many men and women who work in the defense industry to protect America.” Crimson Trace manufacturers several laser sighting products available to the US Defense Department and NATO Allies around the world.

In addition to Crimson Trace’s Department of Defense supplied laser sighting systems, local PNDC member companies also manufacture: knives, optics, scope mounts, thermal imaging systems, gun parts, footwear, tracking devices and other products to be used around the globe in defense and security services
As a career Marine it would probably not surprise anyone that besides being a PT nut, I’m a gun freak and knife whore. I own way more than enough of each, especially knives. I have a huge tool box full of knives of every size and description and with that I’ve done a fair amount of research into how different knives (and swords) are made. If you have a similar interest then you know about cutting tools made from Damascus steel. In a (very small) nut shell this is a complicated process of forging that involves folding and inserting different types of steel over and over. This technique produces a blade that is made up of layers and and layers of steel, like a car spring. When this method is preformed by a skilled craftsmen, the end result is a blade of extreme strength and resilience that has an unmatched cutting edge. Some Japanese Samurai swords have thousands of layers and despite being hundreds of years old, are pristine in appearance and are some of the toughest and sharpest swords ever made.
Now this concept of sword making relates in an important way to physical fitness, especially long term fitness. What i’ve observed over many years is that (most) people who participate in a wide range of different methods and activities to stay in shape, have much better success. I’ve found the opposite to be true with those that specialize in one or two activities. Most people that I’ve seen do very little other than hit the weight room and/or run, have inconsistent long term results and are also the most prone to injuries.
I think the reason for this In that your body is in some ways like a piece of knife steel. Meaning that different doing activities can provide different “layers” to your core fitness. Just as cycling can improve your running and weight lifting can improve your punching power, or Judo throws. Too many people like to just stick with what they’re good at, it’s human nature. When a young man finds that he can out bench press all his buddies, it’s hard to keep him out of the weight room. A girl that discovers she is the fastest runner in her class, will most likely develop running as her go to fitness activity. My thing was as a boxer was that I was a heavy puncher, so I loved to hit the heavy bag when lots of people we’re around to watch me. No doubt that I would have been a better fighter if I spent less time on the bag (showing off) and more time working on defense. Concentrating on one thing will condition just one set of muscles. This approach develops fitness thats more like cast iron. Yes cast Iron is very strong in certain ways, but it’s also relatively easy to break and over time it will rust out.
The point here is that in the long run you’re better off to widely vary your PT routine. Each of these different activities (when used in a balanced program) will act like a different layer, strengthening and conditioning a different set of muscles. Like the Damascus steel, this layering concept develops resilience and a great depth of conditioning you can’t get from just doing one sport. I also think it’s good for your attitude, as it keeps your outlook on PT fresh and motivated.
So mix up your PT, be like layered steel, not a piece of rusty cast iron.
Be safe always, be good when you can.

Always take the time to try different weapons- pistols, carbines, etc. This makes you a more well rounded shooter and allow as you to make informed decisions and provide sound advice to others that might seek input. This is part of your ‘gun education’ and is a critical and often overlooked part of becoming more savvy with firearms.
This was brought home to me once again at the class I just taught with Rob Leatham. Rob is an incredible shooter of course and widely considered the greatest handgun shooter of all time (I agree completely) but one thing Rob does very well is the ability to pick up any handgun you can think of and shoot it – and in most cases shoot it very well.
This comes from not only having a solid foundation of handgun fundamentals but a genuine interest in learning about different types of pistols. He is in his heart a gun guy just like me.
One of the things I did in this class was offer to demonstrate a drill known as ‘The Test’ (also known as the 10-10-10 drill) using a student’s pistol. ‘The Test’ is a simple drill and a very good one; 10 shots from the ready in 10 seconds at a B-8 bullseye replacement center from 10 yards. Each shot in the white outside the black is one second added to your score and each shot off the white paper is 3 seconds. So in order to pass with one shot out of the black and in the white your raw time must be under 9 seconds, with 2 shots out under 8 seconds and so on. It’s an excellent drill and one I do in some form or fashion in every two-day pistol class I teach.
I passed ‘The Test’ easily regardless of the students pistol I used (in this case a Glock 35, Glock 41 and a DA/SA SIG P226) – how did I do this? Simple – I shoot as many different handguns as possible to form a mental ‘data bank’ on how one pistol might perform vs. the other. The only way to accomplish this is to try different weapons whenever you can. Hell you might even find something that you like better than what you currently shoot (M&P shooters I’m looking at you; try an HK VP9; a far better pistol)
Hope this helps and as always be safe and keep shooting!
