MCS Holsters

Recently I put out the offer to have some more admins join the page.  I received a few emails and selected three new people. One of which is a full time firefighter and paramedic. I was extremely excited to have a paramedic on board to help with medical items. However, when he offered me a holster I happily agreed to his offer.

At this point I noticed his Instagram only had a few holsters on it, so I really couldn't judge the quality.  He asked what my carry gun was and if I wanted IWB or OWB. I told him and we continued to discuss other matters.

Fast forward about a week and I get a bubble mailer in the mailbox with no return address on it. I was not expecting what was inside. When I opened the package I was instantly blown away at the feel and look of this holster.

While the holster does have the look of the SIK peep show, Mike has started painting one eyelet as a way to set his apart.  I instantly fell in love with the two tone color pattern, especially the carbon fiber on red. As a former volunteer firefighter it reminds me of the firefighter “thin red line”.

All the edges of the holster are very smooth with no rough edges to be found. The belt loops look as if they are made out of kydex as well and fit easily on my 2” belt. They are also thick enough to accommodate most belt types.

Having a holster so detailed could be its Achilles heel. The only potential downfall that I have found is that the inside the trigger guard is indented. For some that want a smoother draw this may be an issue. Myself, coming from a Blackhawk Serpa OWB this does not bother me at all, and I kind of like the feel of it as it almost clicks when placing the weapon back in the holster. I have no doubt that my Glock will stay put while holstered due to this.  

Overall I really couldn’t be happier with my holster from Mike at MCS holsters. If you are looking for a great quality holster, that is affordable and the most important to me quick turnaround time look no further than MCS.
