TACTICAL EQUIPMENT: FOBUS HOLSTERS
BACKGROUND: S.W.A.T. team officials responded to an undisclosed disturbance in the 900 block of North Rush and East Chestnut streets in the Gold Coast neighborhood of Chicago. At the time the eyewitness arrived on the scene, S.W.A.T. members appeared to have the situation under control and were being debriefed. No suspects were visibly detained. S.W.A.T. team officials were in armed tactical uniform but had removed tactical headgear and protective eyewear. Weapons were disengaged. Fobus Holsters were determined to be the regulation holster used by S.W.A.T. team members.
DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT: Fobus Holsters were developed in Israel for military and special security forces. Fobus holsters are combat tested. Features of Fobus holsters include passive retention with rapid presentation, virtual indestructibility, injection molding and high density polymer materials, low profile design consistent with concealability needs, rubberized paddle for extreme stability and comfort, and steel reinforced rivet attachment system for increased strength. Fobus holsters are available in paddle, belt, and left-hand models. No other injection molded holster manufacturer carries holsters for as many handgun models as Fobus. The Fobus Roto-Holster is adjustable to employ a forward or rearward cant. The Roto-Holster rotates 360 degrees and easily adjusts for cross draw, bodyguard, driver, small of back, or strong side carry. Patented locking system allows a total of 40 different position settings. Adjustment is obtained by use of a locking screw. Fobus Roto-Holsters are lightweight, rugged, and can be used with Fobus Shoulder Rigs, Thigh Rigs, and Universal Home & Vehicle Mount. Fobus is the preferred tactical holster for sidearms in extreme and volatile operations.
