Hot Pink Kydex is the latest offering from holster maker Comp-Tac. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the new pink plastic is available in 11 different products from paddle holsters to AR-15 magazine pouches.
According to Comp-Tac, there is no additional charge for the pink color. The pink holsters can be ordered by phone or online from the company’s web site starting this coming Monday (February 4th). Some of the colorful holsters will still use black mounting gear for a two-tone effect.
Galco has a new Kydex IWB holster they say is comfortable, easy to conceal and quick to get on and off. At a suggested price of less than $50, this could be a really good selling holster for them.
From Galco:
Made of durable, virtually maintenance-free Kydex, The Triton is fast, thin and easy to conceal. The belt clip offers quick on and off capability. The firm holster body allows a smooth and easy return after the draw, while the raised sweat guard protects the pistol from corrosive perspiration – and your skin from hard steel! The Triton fits belts up to 1 3/4″. MSRP $49.95.

Several months ago, I purchased a kydex paddle holster from Uncle Mike’s for my Sig Sauer P226.
The Uncle Mike’s holster is an open top, but models with a thumb break strap can be purchased as well. I found that the holster held the Sig very securely, but was not so tight as to prevent a smooth draw. There are two screws on the front of the holster that you can use to adjust the tension of the holster, but I found the tension to be “just right” as it was, so I did not adjust them at all.

The Ruger LCP has been a very popular .380 ACP handgun for concealed carry and back-up. Finding holsters for any new firearm can be tricky, but many options are now available for the Ruger LCP pistol. Here are a few:
RKBA Holsters makes an excellent pocket holster for the Ruger LCP. I have puchased several of the RKBA holsters in the past and have found all of them to be of very high quality, yet very reasonably priced. These full leather, handcrafted holsters are only $30.00. Read More…
The new Galco AutoLock Matrix holsters are an affordable way to secure your weapon when carrying concealed. Even with your firearm under a cover garment, you still might be targeted for a gun grab. Having a simple way to lock the gun into the holster can give you that moment to recover from the initial attack and gain control over the pistol. This is even more important for people exercising their open carry rights.
The new new paddle holsters are being brought to the market in the first quarter of 2008. Based on their popular Matrix line of paddle holsters, the new AutoLock holster securely locks the firearm into place without the use of straps or external snaps.
According to Scott Feck, the V.P. of Operations for Galco Gunleather, a standard gripping motion releases the lock, allowing the wearer to present the weapon in a very smooth, fast process. Feck suggests that the locking mechanism does not interfere with the natural drawing motion, which is important when presenting the pistol in a stress situation. If you have to fumble with the holster, precious seconds tick away – seconds that literally could be your last.
The AutoLock will be available for the Glock 26 and 27 models first, followed by the 3″ 1911, and various models of Sig Sauer pistols. Feck anticipates the AutoLock will be shipping for at least the 10 most popular handguns by the end of the year.
MSRP on the Galco AutoLock Matrix holsters is expected to be in the low $30′s. Considering the retail price almost always has a significant amount of mark-up, I wouldn’t be surprised to see these selling for less than $30 in the near future.
Update 2013 – The price on these holsters has risen substantially, and MSRP is significantly more than it used to be. You can still get the holsters reasonably priced at Amazon – click here for an AutoLock holster for about $40.
