Even if you wanted a tan 6004, you dont have to spent 120$+ on the real deal anymore. as of now, only the Glock model is vailable, but no doubt that 1911, P226 and the rest are following.

My friend got one in black, it fell apart the first game. Unless they fixed the quality of them I will spend my 60 on a real one which you could prob get a real one for that price.

Your buddy probably got one of these:http://ebaybanned.com/product_info.php?cPa...products_id=912 wich are pants. The others (different brand) first came out at dragonred and are made by the same guys as the Serpas, I think. I have bought around 30 Serpas and over 20 Safarilands and I didnt hear a single complain.

Why did i just waist 130 dollars i could have held out for 3 weeks

[-=OGGY=-]

you didn't waste $130; you have a MUCH better product than this clone ######.

[Robinio]

Yes, ACM are really crappy compared to all genuine products...

[Chevieblazer]

Actually, I wouldn't go that far. I have two holsters for my Sig, one with and one without. The one with light is a Safariland, the other one a..."Safiland" Its not that bad. the holster isn't coated on the inside like the real ones, but the locking hood works aswell as everything else. fine with me

agreed

You guys do realise you're just weekend warriors, right? You just carry a toy in that holster, and not only dont you need a real one, but the chinese fits the job just fine.

I have owned both a real one (bought on this forum for just 60$ and just because I wanted a tan one) and two chinese ones. The only difference that could matter if you painted your gun is that the interior on the real ones is lined, but the chinese ones wont scratch your guns either.
And the chinese holster have a feature that actually makes 'em better than the real ones and its the rubber threads in the leg straps that prevent them from sliding up and down. Also, the material of the straps is more durable.

And the same thing goes for the chinese Serpas: have owned both real and replica and the second gen. of chinese holsters was pretty much the same but in darker material.

Isn't it to get as close as it gets to the real deal?
Who cares if the Chinese replicas are nice or not, there are three points which should never been forget.

1. Replicas are economies death. (licensed products loose their reliability standard, since the optic of the replicas are exactly the same as the real one but they crack, sliver, worn out, loos the color, get deformed ect. There are a lot of such problematic's also in electronic business)

2. Replicas are a safety issue. (Manufacturer doesn't care if the replica is a problem for your safety since they don't need to or are they producing according to any dedicated ISO/EN/ANSI moralities? NO!)

3. Replicas are an environment issue. (The crafting process is actually no process its just a mass production without any control part. Who cares if your replica holster contains toxic components do you think the 16 years old Chinese really cares a sh-it about this??

I could tell a lot more points but at the end of the day it doesn't count since a couple guys here don't understand how the world is working and how our own behavior can affect the thing in a positive way!

Cheers

All of the Chinese Safarilands are bad. For the price they sell for on eBay, you can often buy a REAL ONE for cheaper. I also fail to see how a tan Safariland is newsworthy, since you can just Krylon the black ones (which will probably increase their structural stability... ).

Maybe we should have a section where Chas just repeats whatever he sees on websites and posts it, because that's pretty much what's happening now.

Don't be an idiot. Alot of people appreciate your news updates chas, myself included.

[chas]

Good idea, or... or... we could open a thread where you guys can whine every time a copy of an exclusive product becomes affordable to everyone. Dont feel so special on the field since everyone can afford knock-off Safarilands, EBRs, M249s, etc.? suck on it.

And I dont want to krylon a black one, because then it'd look like it had been kryloned and I want it to look like its factory coloured. Just like evryone else who buys tan accesories, sometimes even pays a little extra.

And, Ill repeat, they are NOT BAD. I have owned 1 real Safariland, 1 real Serpa and have bought over 50 chinese copies of both and they were all fantastic.

EDIT: thanks, gunnermaniac

Seems that a couple guys here are to stupid to diversify the task.
Maybe you have to google "diversify" then you are meant!!

Whining? Ha. I'm pointing out that the copies are ######. I don't care who owns a Safariland or a knockoff. They (the knockoffs) are not very well made and if I was serious about retaining a $100+ pistol I certainly wouldn't cheap out on a poorly made holster. You're a clone homer (Austin - great word), and it shows. But for god's sake, every time you see an item on a website, don't create a new thread about it.

[chas]

Whatever, dude: Ive bought 50 of these and NO ONE had his pistol damaged so far. Must have been awefully lucky, eh? I mean, not a single bad one in 50 holsters...

[skyler8158]

...And how many years have you had them now? Call us when they're still kicking strong 5+ years down the road.

[chas]

This is the same BS as with the first clone guns: at first: "They break out of the box." When they didnt: "Lets see if they hold up a few months." Now: "They wont last 5 years like my Marui."

I have owned: 9 marui AEGs, 2 G&P AEGs and one CA. 4 Marui GBBs and 2 KSC GBBs. The difference here is Im not a high-end hater: you are a clone hater.

[tbsix]

why the need for 50 if they're so reliable??

[BigAl]

I would hazaed a guess that no matter how reliable they are 50 people cannot use one holster!
