Is there some sort of 12-step program for holster addiction? If so, I may need it. As I prepared to write this, I took a quick look my holster collection and would guess I own at least 100 different holsters.<\/p>\n

Part of it\u2019s just hoarding. But, in my defense, I do need a lot of them. I\u2019m a bit of a gun slut, and a lot of my guns need different holsters based on the situation. I\u2019ve been told admitting your problem is the first step.<\/p>\n

But, what if I could buy one last holster for all my pistols?\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

A look at the future<\/h2>\n

Enter the Surefire Masterfire Rapid Deploy Holster<\/a>. This unique concept allows you to have one holster and light (or light laser) for all your handguns with an accessory rail. I think back to the late 1990s and early 2000s when there were all kinds of lights being developed for handguns. Many of these lights were proprietary to a specific brand or type of handgun. Soon, the market worked this out so almost any light would work on any handgun. However, this did not solve the problem.\u00a0 You still had to have a holster that worked with the combination of handgun and light. This resulted in needing a holster that was unique to the one gun, one light combination. Change either one and your holster was worthless.<\/p>\n

This always seemed particularly wasteful (and expensive) to those of us who carried a variety of handguns based on the occasion.\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>How it works<\/h2>\n

The mechanics of a normal gun and mounted light function by the light being secured to the gun and the holster being secured to the gun. This treats the light as an accessory instead of an integral part of the system.<\/p>\n

The outside-the-waistband (I am told and inside-the-waistband will be coming) Surefire Masterfire Holster works by securing the light to the gun and then, rather than the holster attaching to the gun, it attaches to the light. The light becomes an integral part of the system rather than an accessory. Simply put, this means one holster and light can work with any gun with a standard accessory rail.<\/p>\n

One of the key innovations that this system affords you is the ability to select whether the light will be on or remain off when the gun is drawn via a switch on the holster. Regardless of which you choose, the light will automatically shut off when you place your gun back in the holster. This ensures you will not holster with the light activated and drain your batteries.<\/p>\n

The Surefire Masterfire Holster allows you to select two levels of retention. The first level is a button activated by pushing down with your thumb that releases the gun. This is very intuitive and requires minimal effort to master on a standard draw stroke. The second level is activated via a knob that you rotate between the detents. Selecting the second position locks the gun in the holster and prevents the thumb button from being depressed. This second level of retention is not accessible via a normal draw stroke.<\/p>\n

The holster features an open-top open muzzle design. This is done to accommodate any red dot optics that would be mounted to the gun, along with compensators or suppressors the user might choose to install.<\/p>\n
