New Kydex Holsters and Accessories From Uncle Mike's Law Enforcement Offer High Performance Without High Price

For Immediate Release - November 2002

Uncle Mike's Law Enforcement™ has expanded its affordable, award-winning line of injection molded Kydex® holsters and accessories with the introduction of the Kydex Inside the Pant Open Top Holster and Clip-On Tactical Light Holder. In addition, the company has increased the number of models available in its existing Kydex Concealment and Kydex Tactical holster designs.

The Inside the Pant Open Top Holster is a new design that takes advantage of Uncle Mike's Kydex injection molding technology to create a holster that offers concealability, stable carry, a solid draw and the ability to reholster the weapon. Featuring a clip-on design that retains the holster equally well with or without a belt, the Kydex Inside the Pant Open Top Holster is available in models to fit most popular handguns, in both right and left-hand versions.

The injection molded Kydex Concealment Holster line from Uncle Mike's Law Enforcement expands significantly with the addition of two new models to fit the popular Ruger P-series of handguns, as well as left-hand versions of all existing models. Kydex Concealment Holsters feature a variety of available configurations, with users being able to choose between belt and paddle holsters both with and without thumb breaks. In all, there are more than 75 different Kydex concealment holster models available from Uncle Mike's Law Enforcement for 2003, with prices starting at just $19.95.

Designed to fit popular Streamlight/Insight Technology tactical lights, the new Clip-On Tactical Light Holder features Uncle Mike's proprietary injection molded Kydex construction. The holder can carry the light in a tactical, lens-up or lens-down position, which provides extra lens protection. A unique, adjustable clip provides secure retention on dress and duty belts up to 2 ? inches wide.

"Injection molding is the perfect manufacturing method to use with Kydex," noted Tom Marx, law enforcement marketing manager for Michaels of Oregon Co. "Kydex is not an easy or forgiving material to build holsters and accessories from using traditional production methods, but experience has shown us that by injection molding the material, we eliminate the negatives and create high quality Kydex holsters and accessories that exploit the material's inherent durability and impact resistance. Injection molding allows us to offer the best Kydex on the market at very affordable prices," Marx added.

The new products join Uncle Mike's Law Enforcement's complete line of injection molded Kydex holsters and accessories. For more information on the Uncle Mike's Law Enforcement line of holsters, duty gear and accessories, visit www.uncle-mikes.com.
