First, so you understand why I think this holster is truly in a class of its own, here's a little about the 7TS. The holster body is made of a single piece of injection-molded polymer. It isn't kydex and it isn't formed around molds like most other holsters out there. Hot out of the press, the 7TS is folded in half and locks together to form the holster body. Safariland adds its incredibly slick ALS retention system and sends them out the door.
The real star of the show, however, is the polymer used to make them. Dubbed "SafariSeven," Safariland took its time developing this new nylon blend formula from DuPont that is not only incredibly durable and rigid, but also provides natural lubricity and wouldn't mar the finish of the firearm carried within. It may look like black plastic but once you feel it in your hands and execute a few draws you'll understand the difference.
Once I had the new 7TS set up on my duty belt I went to work as usual for the first of many patrol shifts. As we all know, our duty gear takes a beating. Getting in and out of the car a thousand times a shift, scraping against cinderblocks as you scale a wall, or scraping against the pavement in a fight all take their toll on the best duty holsters. Not to mention the hundreds of times you draw and re-holster your pistol. Checking your weapon before a shift, providing lethal cover during a crisis entry, and everything in between, your gun gets a workout and the last thing you want to do is fumble with your holster in the process. You want a secure holster that provides a smooth and fast draw every time. I'm happy to say the 7TS checked all of those boxes for me.
Available now for a wide array of firearm and weapon light combinations, the 7TS duty holster is truly a winner and one that will likely serve you well for many years of use and abuse.
