mosman76 Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Hello guys, I need a pistol holster for my '90 pattern olive green PLCE webbing: wich is the genuine issued holster for this webbing? if there is one.. thanks for posting Link to post Share on other sites
Kyrian_Zenda Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I don't think there is an issue holster for troops, since only officers, SF, CP and other certain off-duty troops in high-risk areas get issued pistols, but I did find this. Link to post Share on other sites
Guardsman Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 yep, thats the one. not very rare at all. i have one but without the shoulder straps so it just fits on to a belt. you can have it for the cost of postage if you want, PM me Link to post Share on other sites
phaserrifle Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 yep, thats the one. not very rare at all. i have one but without the shoulder straps so it just fits on to a belt. I think they are a little more difficult to find due to everyone selling the slightly newer, DPM version. which is identical to the older one, apart from the coulor scheme. another idea might be to try to attach the older 58pattern holster, although I think this would require the 58pattern belt to work. which is an idea which may have cropped up in the early day's of PLCE, when odd bits like holsters may well have been hard to come by.

mosman76 Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 what do you guys think about to put the Bianchi m12 holster on PLCE? will it fit? is the hook suitable on the belt? Link to post Share on other sites
phaserrifle Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 what do you guys think about to put the Bianchi m12 holster on PLCE? will it fit? is the hook suitable on the belt? best I can say is that alice clips, which IRRC are used with the same belt as the bianchi is designed to fit, are a very tight fit on PLCE. you really have to force them down through the loops on the back of the belt. add the width of those loops as well, and you may (and I say may, I don't know) find it won't fit.

Kyrian_Zenda Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 The Bianci M12 doesn't use normal ALICE clips, it's got 2 metal clips on the back that you have to squeeze to get it on and off the belt. So long as the PLCE belt is roughly the same dimensions of an ALICE belt, then it should fit fine. I used to have one and it was a tight fit on the ALICE belt, but for a reason - that thing was rock-solid when it was on the belt, no way was it going to slide around in a hurry. If you've got an ALICE belt (I had LC2), try and compare it to your PLCE belt, and if the dimenions are similar, then it should fit, but quite tightly. Link to post Share on other sites
mosman76 Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 the m12 should fit a 2,4" belt wich is the plce belt, anyway I just bought the holster and I will advise soon how it's going on Link to post Share on other sites
mosman76 Posted December 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 yes, it definately fit: thanks all for the suggestions Link to post Share on other sites
twig Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 The only place I've ever seen them used is on the ranges and by the MPGS on guard! Most of the guys in the 1990s era British Army would buy their own or just stick it in a pocket (or most likely, given that we were in Bosnia in the top of a day sac!). It's extremely unlike you'd bother fitting it to your belt kit; as webbing is usually worn in a tactical environment in which a rifle is carried. Plus it just simply isn't "Brecon".
