Has anyone handled one at shot or any where else? Is this really a one size fits all holster for a suppressed handgun? I think its really neat and wondering what the price is going to be. I would love to have one for a ruger mark III but I know it isn't going to work but will use it for my glock 19 with suppressor/light combo

Played with one at the NRA show. Draw stroke is goofy as compared to a Safariland rig but in a matter of a few repetitions I had it figured out.
In order to use the On/Off switch on the holster you need to have the compatible X300/X400 lights, which are not the same as any of the X300/X400 lights I currently own. No word on a retrofit kit from Surefire. However, the active retention will work with the standard X300/X400 lights. So any handgun that has a X300 now has an active retention system holster. I'm not totally deadset against it, but Id like some sort of a kydex shield to protect the weapon a bit. Curious to see how it holds up as a system with DT/ ECQC type shenanigans. |

other than using branded surefire lights as long as your using the type lights its a universal holster? ETA: That part does concern me a bit. The plastic dovetail rails on the X300 are not all that beefy. Fine for holding a lightweight light onto the gun, but I suspect they'd break very easily if someone tried to remove the gun from the holster. Or the gun got hung up on a door, branch, wire, etc. The plastic dovetail on the X300 isn't made to take that sort of stress. |

How is this different from armadillo concealment other than the fact this looks like it may allow light activation while holstered? |
