The Safe-Keeper Holster is built from premium saddle leather. It is equipped with both a thumb break and a muzzle-tensioning device.

SL3.2.1 SpeedLok Holster

Bianchi International

Bianchi's new SL3.2.1 SpeedLok Duty Holster was created as a response to officer concerns about weapon security. The SpeedLok's Auto Retention system secures automatically, preventing both weapon fallout and take away attempts without the need for snaps, bails, or other devices. The duty weapon can be twisted and pulled in any direction, but it cannot be removed from the holster unless you release the SpeedLok lever.

Kydex Holster

Michael's of Oregon

Michael's of Oregon has developed a new line of concealment holsters with injection-molded Kydex. A paddle holster and a standard belt holster will be offered. The paddle has an adjustment that allows for butt forward, vertical and muzzle forward carry. It can be worn behind the hip, on the hip and even cross-draw. The holster rides at a mid-level and women would find it acceptable in that regard, allowing an easy draw.

Shoot From the Ankle

Every year officers are disarmed and murdered with their own weapons.  It only makes sense to always carry while off duty and to always carry a back-up weapon while on duty.

Firing Practice Helps Make Survival Possible

Personal investigation indicates that only about 25 percent of officers practice on their own time.  Supervisors, concerned by a low hit rate in critical incidents, may push for better handguns and advanced training.  But officers are responsible for their own safety and should practice on their own.
