Falco Holsters is rebooting its Kydex duty holster product line by upgrading the safety-hood assemblies found on each holster in this portion of the catalog. The redesign is now standard and its introduction does not change or affect regular retail pricing.

“Safety, innovation and reliable performance are the foundation of every holster we make,” said Robert Ková, CEO of Falco Holsters. “Our redesigned safety-hood system improves all three of these key principles. The feedback from professionals who depend on our holsters every day guided this evolution, and we are proud to offer a solution that enhances both confidence and performance in the field.”

Falco Holsters designers repositioned the holster’s thumb-activated release button with a goal of retaining a more natural and ergonomic reach for the shooter’s hand and fingers. In turn, this shift helps the shooter to improve draw speed from the Falco duty holster under stress. Furthermore, the button now features tighter serrations for enhanced traction and control in all weather conditions. Beyond that, a new protective shroud shields each holster from accidental activation, unauthorized use while going hands-on or external impact.

Externally, the Falco team also designed the holster hood's hinge so that it sits behind the plastic cover. Doing so ensures reliable function even when the holster contacts the rough surfaces or obstacles while on duty. Finally, with the prevalence of slide-mounted red-dot sights in mind, the actual hoods have a new squared profile that better accommodates modern open reflex sights up to 1.18 inches tall.
