A concealed holster system for the tactical operator.

2009-02-10T12:27:00.000-08:00

I use my Galco Miami Classic II shoulder holster the most. It is the most useful for me and my work. I believe it is the next generation of shoulder holster systems from the world’s premier maker.

This concealed holster system combines proven features from earlier Galco systems – validated from hundreds of thousands of systems being used in the field – with our latest innovations. The handgun is held in the horizontal orientation of the Miami Classic, for the quickest draw. The harness features Galco’s trademark spider harness with Flexalon swivel back plate for all-day wearing comfort. The medium-width shoulder straps distribute the weight of a heavy handgun and accessories, while remaining concealable.

The biggest innovation found on the galco concealed shoulder holster is its new magazine carrier, which securely holds a pair of magazines in a horizontal position, without need of retaining straps. The carrier allows a very fast and ergonomic withdrawal of magazines, two factors always welcome in a life-defending scenario. The strapless design is flat, easily concealed, and comfortable under the arm.

The galco miami classic II shoulder system is constructed of premium saddle leather and includes holster, harness, ammo carrier and a set of system screws. It is fully modular and it has a wide variety of optional accessories and components which may be purchased separately.

This concealed shoulder holster system is perfect for semiautomatic pistols. The galco miami classic II shoulder holster is also available in right hand draw in tan or black finish.

With all the holster choices out there it just gets more and more confusing choosing the perfect police holster. I want to buy every holster in every brand, size, color and function, but I would go bankrupt doing that. So here are some fantastic police and law enforcement holsters.

Blackhawk Level 3 Serpa holster:
Retention holsters have long been the standard for law enforcement duty use. The problem has been that many holsters that provide this level of protection are clumsy to operate and can prevent the officer from drawing his weapon rapidly under stress. The level 3 SERPA Auto Lock holster uses your natural drawing motion to release the weapon. No unnatural motion or complicated sequences to remember, just grab and draw.

Read these specs on this police holster...
-SERPA Auto Lock System provides a quick, natural draw with immediate security upon reholstering to increase officer safety.
-Injection molded carbon fiber composite construction provides incredible strength.
-Extremely light weight.
-No snaps or hoods to accidentally open, weapon stays secured until you decide to draw.
-Ease of training, same drawing technique for undercover, tactical and duty.

Then you have this police holster which I love. It's the SERPA X-26 TASER HOLSTER.
Check out the stats on this puppy! The SERPA Active Retention System has now been adapted for the TASER X-26. This new design incorporates our Detachable Belt Loop, so that officers can exchange the TASER between shifts without having to remove other items from the duty belt. Also fits all SERPA platforms, including duty belt loops, MOLLE, shoulder and tactical thigh platforms. The cross draw design and rock forward draw, versus traditional straight draw, help prevent confusing weapons under stress. The holster is even designed to automatically engage the safety when re-holstering the TASER. The holster design stabilizes the X-26 even with the optional camera unit attached. The holster’s bottom is configured to block the probes in case of activation within the holster. The trigger and trigger guard are completely enclosed while the TASER is holstered.

Here are the specs on this police holster...
-Popular SERPA design adapted for TASERs with cross draw design.
-Belt loop design allows officers to exchange TASER without removing other gear.
-Different draw than pistol holsters to help prevent confusion under stress.
-Belt loop also fits most duty belts.
-Design automatically engages safety when re-holstering.
-Available in matte-black, basketweave and plain black finishes.
-Designed to retain probes if activated while still in holster.
-Completely covered trigger when holstered.
-Taser fully stabilized even with camera unit attached.
-Fits all SERPA platforms: duty belt loops, MOLLE and Tactical Thigh Platforms.

5.11 tactical NEW flashlight for the flashlight junkie!!

2009-01-30T12:43:00.000-08:00

I HAVE PREORDERED MINE! I can't wait to get it so I can play with it.

5.11 tactical is excited to enter the portable rechargeable lighting market with our first product, the Light for Life UC3.400. We have considered the flashlight market for years, but until now, we were unable to come up with a product that meets our mission statement – At 511 Tactical Series, we create products that exceed the needs of our customers with functional innovation while delivering exceptional value.

5.11 Tactical has entered into a partnership with IVUS Energy Innovations, the makers of Flashpoint Power Technology, to bring you a flashlight that will revolutionize the portable lighting category and is true to our brand and our customers.
The UC3.400 provides the longest uptime, the fastest recharge on the market, it is environmentally friendly, and you will never need to replace your flashlight.

How this flashlight works:

The light for life contains no batteries, but rather a proprietary energy management system that utilizes revolutionary ultracapacitors and computer circuitry. Ultracapacitors have the ability to quickly load energy, and then quickly unload it – producing the flash in most cameras. Up until this point, no one has been able to control both the way the ultracapacitors load, store and unload the energy. The ultracapacitors also have the ability to release energy at precise levels while maximizing performance and run time. The proprietary circuitry, together with the ultracapacitors, is what makes Flashpoint power Technology.

This is the performance:

Key performance specifications for the UC3.400 include 270 lumens peak output, 90 lumens in standard mode, as well as a 270 lumen tactical strobe. As you can see, the Light for Life creates more powerful peak brightness than many of our competitors. Click the button once and the light will operate for 60 minutes in standard mode (90 lumens) at which point it will reduce itself to a 25 lumen standby mode for an additional 30 minutes. This mode is effective to give adequate light for most applications. This is equivelant to most 2-D cell flashlights.
Press and hold the button for a 270 lumen peak mode for 15 minutes (again followed by 30 minutes of standby). This mode is effective when a burst is needed to light a large area or throw the beam a long distance.

It's so simple even a moron can use it! Press the button twice, and the light will produce a 270 lumen tactical strobe used to signal others or to disorient a perpetrator, giving you valuable time to assess a situation.

After the light has depleted its stored energy, just drop it into the 360 degree DC charging base (patent pending). The blue light on the charging base will flash slowly at first, then faster as the energy is loading into the system. After 90 seconds the blue light will be solid, and your light is fully charged and ready to produce light for another 90 minutes.

Counting the minutes until I get mine...

The BEST animal rescue organization

2009-01-13T12:43:00.000-08:00

We've visited this animal sanctuary and it is the best thing that ever existed!

The Animals;
They come to the sanctuary from far and wide. But once they're here, we make sure that nothing bad will ever happen to them again.On any given day, there are about 2,000 dogs, cats and other animals living at the sanctuary. They come for special care from shelters and rescue groups all across the country. Many of them just need a few weeks of special care before they're ready to go to good new homes with loving families.But there are also those who are the outcasts of society - unwanted, lame, too traumatized by past abuse, or too old, handicapped, or ill. For these lovable, innocent creatures, Best Friends is a unique home and haven. There's just nothing else like it anywhere.

Angel Canyon, home of Best Friends, has been a place of peace and healing for thousands of years, dating back to when the ancestral Pueblo people gathered here to seek spiritual guidance. Today, visitors from all over the world still find sanctuary here among the beauty, graceful harmony, and peaceful atmosphere of Angel Canyon.Best Friends is also in the heart of the Golden Circle of national parks of the Southwest, including the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, and Lake Powell.

The single shoulder design allows faster on-and-off, particularly over LBV and body armor and are superior to backpacks in terms of balance and comfort when using a single strap.

On the front side of the pack, four (4) separate pockets of varied shapes and sizes hold and organize your smaller pieces of gear, including a long pocket that can hold two spare 30-rnd M-4 magazines. Between the collage of pockets and the main compartment is a CCW compartment, lined with loop-side Velcro for attachment of our #3501 Universal CCW Holster and our #3502 Three-Clip Holder, and large enough to conceal a full size handgun and 3 spare mags. Check out our Hook & Loop Modular Accessories

On the ends, there is a radio pocket and a water bottle pocket, both with bungee retention. Velcro loops on top of bag can retain a collapsible baton or a flashlight.
