Why we like these:
A holster leg strap keeps the holster tight to your body. This prevents it from flopping around when you run, but more importantly this helps to maintain a consistent vertical angle for a smooth draw of your pistol. If you've ever run a mid-ride holster without a leg strap, you know that it doesn't take much of an angle to lock up your pistol in the holster and prevent you from drawing.
We love the Forge Concepts design because it's extremely minimal and light weight. There is just enough elastic for there to be some "give" in the strap, but not so much that you have a tight elastic band creating hot spots around your leg. We've used holster straps in the past that were very noticeable and uncomfortable, but when wearing the Forge Concepts leg strap we forget it's even there.
There's also a grommet located immediately beside the elastic. This allows for direct mounting to the lowermost screw on the holster mount system, and allows for freer movements between the holster and strap.
If you're looking for a holster leg strap, this is the one.
Official Description From Forge Concepts:
The idea for this solution was born from watching our teammates constantly adjust or undo their issued holster leg straps for comfort while on multi-day missions.
- Features 3 inches of elastic webbing offering the perfect mix between flexibility and retention
- 1" wide reduces unnecessary compression and hot spots from extended use without compromising retention
- High quality webbing is used to ensure comfort, avoid excess rubbing, and to avoid bunching up of clothing from extended use - this leg strap will not cause chafing even on extended foot movements. Simply put, this is the most comfortable holster leg strap on the market
- Heavy duty grommet allowing direct mounting of the leg strap through the lowest hole on your drop system (can also be sandwiched behind your holster or QLS plate directly)
- Adjustable to the exact amount of retention you want
- 35" at maximum size
- Available with ITW Nexus side release or AustriAlpin Cobra®FM buckles
- Berry Compliant: Made in the USA with Made in the USA materials
- Q: Does the leg strap require special hardware to mount?
- A: No, the standard 1/2" or 3/8" screws that come with your holster or QLS plate will work perfectly. We also include an extra 1/2" screw with each leg strap, just in case you need one.
- Q: Why is there some color variation between the elastic webbing and the nylon webbing in Ranger Green, Coyote Brown, and Wolf Gray?
- A: The dying process used by manufacturers to create milspec colors leads to some variations in shading. All our materials are made in the USA with made in the USA raw materials. The variations from lot to lot are all within industry standard and are to be expected.
- Q: Does the leg strap work without a QLS plate?
- A: Yes, all you need is a drop leg system (UBL, MHA, etc) and a holster.
