Posted by oldfaithfulholsters on May 16th, 2013

Tactical holsters were specially developed in response to the ever increasing demand for a holster which will not only carry the handgun but also be able to accommodate its accessories or in some cases another handgun. Hence these holsters brought about a sigh of relief especially from people who have to carry handguns with innumerable accessories like lights, lasers with them. They are extremely essential for people whom carrying an extra gun can make the precise difference between life and possible death.

In fact, due to the open withdrawal strap and the safety strap design of the holster, it becomes easier to take out the handgun even though it is kept secured by the muzzle stud. Thus addressing the two greatest concerns related to the carrying of handguns, which are retention and safety, the tactical holders have made life safer by eliminating the prospect of getting shot by your own gun to a great extent.

Tactical holsters are also used to carry secondary firearms along with primary long guns like those carried by the S.W.A.T or the military. A long gun can range from the AR or an MP-5 to the combat shotgun. Yet these secondary firearms, though usually carried as a safety precaution, attain fantastic proportions in cases of malfunctioning of the primary gun, especially in enemy territory.

The biggest advantage of tactical holsters is its versatility. It not only comes in a varied variety of materials and styles, even their features are different. Thus, there are the archetype holster like the Safari land 6004, the Chest Holsters which have extensive use inside vehicles, the belt holsters etc. In fact, the belt holsters are much more useful for daily wearing than the thigh holsters which keep whacking and scratching into objects.

Tactical holders are generally made of plastics or nylon. Since, they are primarily used by military and other law enforcement officers; they also need to be made in a camouflage pattern, to match the uniform of the person who is slated to carry the same. Adhering to the drop-leg design, these tactical holsters are extensively, by personnel trained in close-quarters combat.
