Predatorgear Mongoose holster and Sabercat mag. pouches (Multicam)
A few years back I attended an annual local airsoft game (Riot in Rørdal).
Between games there was a couple of competitions. I won one of them, and the prize was a voucher for a holster and two mag. pouches from Predatorgear inc. (Now Björn Tactical).
I chose the multicam wrapped Mongoose holster for my WE M&P9 with extended barrel and X300 light. The mounting platform I chose was the one for a 4,5” belt (if I remember correctly).
First off, I gotta say. John from Predatorgear is a great guy. I wrote him because I had some questions about the holster. He was super helpful and very quick to reply. Top notch customer service.
I can’t remember the exact number of days from when I ordered to when I received the holster and pouches, but I think it was around 3 weeks.
Sadly, I don’t have pictures from when I got the holster. But when you get the holster, it comes with a small instruction on how to mount the mount to the holster. Nice and clear instructions.
Here’s a picture from a couple of days after I got the holster.
The holsters tension is adjustable, and the holster “locks” on the mounted light. That means you can’t use the holster without the weapon mounted light it’s made for; in this case my X300.
When you holster your pistol it clicks in very nicely. The pistol is very secure and I have not yet have it come out unintentionally. But still, I have a secondary retention – a simple piece of shock cord with some webbing.
I’ve made some other changes to the holster. I’ve changed the mount to a custom Team EPIC adapterplate + Safariland MLS fork. This is so I can use it on my Safariland UBL platform.
The holster itself mounts directly to Blackhawk Serpa platforms as standard.
The Sabercat mag. pouches mounts to Predatorgears own belt platform and to MALICE clips. Another smart feature is that you can flip the pouch so you can carry bullets forward or rearward. Very useful feature.
I’ve used the holster and mag. pouches for the past couple of years and it’s honestly one of the best combos I’ve ever used. The pistol draw is not quite as fast as with my Safariland 6378 ALS in my opinion, but other than that it’s an awesome holster.
I highly recommend checking out Björn Tactical on facebook. He’s got a lot of cool stuff.
A couple of my teammates also use holsters from Predatorgear and they’ll give their opinions in a follow-up review.
