ConSEAL Holster

Walking through nine acres of guns and gear from over 550 exhibitors at the recent NRA Annual Meeting in Nashville, you’re bound to find all the familiar products from the big manufacturers as well as several unique offerings from smaller companies. In the latter category, the ConSEAL Holster from Sealed Mindset caught my eye and made its way home with me, getting immediate use on a Glock 19.

You’ve seen other “holsters” that are less a holster and more a glorified trigger guard cover. And the ConSEAL Holster you see here follows a similar pattern. Except this one offers additional unique features such as carbon fiber and Kevlar construction and a special protrusion (more on this in a minute). But this ConSEAL holster is also smaller or more minimal than other similarly-designed holsters.

Retailing for $39, the ConSEAL Holster does the important job of denying access to a gun’s trigger. Where a typical holster requires you to remove the gun from the holster, the ConSEAL requires you to remove the holster from the gun. Normally this occurs by attaching it to a belt or belt loop, affixing it to the gun, and then tucking the gun inside the waistband. The ConSEAL Holster not only denies access to the trigger on both sides of the gun but also holds on to the gun with plenty of tension ensuring it stays on and even carries the weight of the gun. It’s very secure and very comfortable. And you can carry it in virtually any position.

To access the gun and remove the holster, just draw with a firm upward motion. The ConSEAL will let go of the gun, allowing access to the trigger.

If the string breaks or is otherwise not attached to something that will enable you to pull it off the gun, the protrusion on the front of it allows you to sweep it off with your hand or catch it on a pocket or other edge, thus removing it from the gun.
