Earlier on TFB we reported about Oregon Trail Defense’s ALS “Nub” Mod for the Safariland line of Level 3 retention holsters. Essentially it is an aluminum part that is installed on the actuating lever that allows release of the handgun from the holster in a much faster and reliable way than the original small piece. Now Oregon Trail Defense seems to be successful with their initial product, enough so to release a new one for the SLS holsters, with the retaining hood that covers the rear portion of the slide of the handgun. It has “backwards compatibility” so this version can be installed on ALS holsters, but I don’t think ALS Nubs can be installed on SLS holsters because of the space limitations with the hood that would prevent it from fully closing. The parts are still aluminum, with a polymer part that should be coming out in the near future. It is currently retailing for $33.50 and has already been released to the public, ready for ordering. From what I’ve seen so far, this small operation has already come out with several product announcements and doesn’t seem to be slowing down, excellent work for a company that must be only a couple of people in operation, I hope they continue down this path. And the owner is a prior Marine so I’m somewhat biased…
