Seems pretty cool. Says its plastic coated so it doesn't scratch your gun. Might buy one.

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, that "The pistol is not included."
Ripoff Scam!

This, my friends, appears to be a bad ripoff of FAST Holsters' product, which has been around for several years.

Just sayin'...

But will it work with a Glock 7 ???

Yes. It has the special coating to allow the ceramic slide to stick.

That coating looks very much like velcro, but just enough different to avoid copyright infringement.

Of course not.

You two should just fight it out amongst yourselves.

 

[JetGirl]

Explain to me how using this doesn't eventually magnetize your gun, which would then pick up all sorts of little dirt pieces of crap all over it...

Clearly, Shay saw the old model without the "tactical" similar-to-velcro coating.

Besides, what do you care? You carry an XD!

The one advertised here? No clue. It probably does.

The FASTholster guy at the 1500 said that because they use three separate magnets, the magnets used can be smaller and thus, spread the magnetic force over a larger area... He also demonstrated how one of them would hold a full size shottie, so it's not like they're weak.

Note that this is what I heard the rep say. I think over time, yes, even the FASTholster probably does the same.

I wouldn't want to fight Shay either. He's hardcore.

Normally, yes.

However, when I need to go through airport security...

Momma done raised me crazy, not stupid.

Normally, yes.

However, when I need to go through airport security...

...you aren't using this kind of "holster" anyway.

Annie, I've used two for probably two years now and my Kel-Tec PF-9 will pick up and hold paper clips. The G36 hasn't become magnetized. I guessing it's the size different. I've shot it several times since finding out it likes paperclips and it doesn't seem to affect it.
It also seems to be only one spot on the gun that has become magnetized.

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

Dogman, what part of the gun is it that's holding those? It's not the slide itself, right? The take-down pin?

And Annie, even if the steel of a slide were SLIGHTLY magnetized.... So? Most cartridges are brass or aluminum. If I were worried, I'd not use steel-cased.

Projectiles are copper and lead... again, not magnetic.

Primers aren't iron-based.

Neither is the powder contained within the cartridge.

In short, there's really not much that'd give trouble.

If worried about residual magnetism allowing things to stick to your firearm... It would only be iron-based "crud" that does it. There are very few places where iron-based crud would be just floating/flying around in the atmosphere. And I certainly wouldn't want to go to those places.

If you could build up the magnetic field you could use your gun to hold a flashlight while opening doors and doing other 2-handed tasks

 

[ATM]

You could use your gun to find and pick up tiny screws and springs that fall on the floor.

 

[JetGirl]

Hmm... I guess I don't see the appeal.

The part is the assembly pin, part 427 if you have a PF-9, and no the slide is not magnetized. JMO, any magnetism would be so minimal that it won't affect the gun shooting.
