Heat laminated and molded to the shape of weapons and accessories for security, the new STX basket weave will not absorb water or sweat and dries quickly when wet. The new STX basket weave is also easily cleaned with mild soap and water. Additionally, the new STX basket weave incorporates a Safari-Suede liner that protects the finish of guns and absorbs excess oils and lubricants.
Many holster and accessory models, including the new Model 6280 EDW (Electrical Discharge Weapon) Duty Tactical Holster and Model 6360 ALS (Automatic Locking System) Duty Holster, are available with the new STX basket weave finish. The Model 6280 EDW holster is available with the standard ride UBL (Universal Belt Loop) that accommodates 2” (50mm) or 2.25” (58mm) belts.
