What do you UK Socom fans use???? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well if you want to import than there is always This it is the sky sholder holster. Thigh holsters arent that bad. Uncompany has a bunch of thigh holsters that are made to hold a mk23, 3 mags, lam unit, and scliencer. Here Link to post Share on other sites
Cruiser1068 Posted August 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 the sky is too small going by descripton...and Ive ruled thigh holsters out....even my glock gets on my nerves on my thigh once I start moving quick, I imagine it would be better for urban stuff, room clearance and stuff but no good for crawling around in the woods.

Supraman Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Mil force do a decent SOCOM holster, 30 quid from zeroone. I have it, there is a bit of waggle int the unit when the gun et all is in it, but its secure. I like it, makes a good thigh defender Link to post Share on other sites

Its quite pricey tho' Link to post Share on other sites

He wants a shoulder holster. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Very well put I will call Zero One tomorrow and ask about the Mil-Force large frame shoulder holster and see if it will take it......if it does I'll get the holster, gun and spare mag from them as they seem to be best price on just about all of it anyway. If it doesnt I will get ###### off trying to find a suitable holster and will probably switch back to the P99 Link to post Share on other sites

Hissing_Sid Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 And Sid re your mag guide....you said to some guy that if he was in the states to buy a different type of mag: Quote: "If you're in the USA your best bet is to buy KJW/STTi mags instead of Marui ones" and he wouldnt have the problem....why not in the UK? Dont they sell them? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not widely. Airshooter sell the STTi pistol but I dunno if they sell spare mags. In the USA STTi seem to be pretty widely available. Not in the UK though. I got hold of a genuine HK SOCOM holster and, TBH, it ain't that impressive. As you say, the gun flops about quite badly when you're wearing it. Holstering the gun with the silencer attached is just hopeless. Seeing as how I don't want the same problem again I'm in the process of looking for a shoulder holster for my Desert Eagle. A shoulder holster which fits a DE should fit the Mk23 but you'll need to find a seperate pouch for the silencer and any spare mags. Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Airsoft Armoury also do the STTI, if you're planning to ring round in pursuit of mags. Link to post Share on other sites

Lemme know if you find anything sexy. Ive emailed this guy http://www.holsters.org/shoulder-holster.htm to see if he can help but doesnt seem to be anything in his range that looks right....his shoulder rigs are horizontal which just wont work with a cannon this size. This is the sort of rig I have for my Beretta and its gorgeous. Link to post Share on other sites

The Marui Mk23 outer barrel is metal and the silencer is metal so it isn't that fragile but it would probably be rather unweildy if it was hanging down vertically. Equally, a horizontal holster would see the silencer sticking out about a foot behind you. If I was you I'd just accept that you'll have to make do with a holter that won't work with the silencer. TBH, if you're using the Mk23 as a sidearm then you won't worry about the silencer. If, OTOH, you're planning on using it for sniping then you'll have plenty of time to remove the pistol from the holster and attach the silencer before you set off. Personally, I use my Mk23 as a primary and use it with my P90 or MP5 slung. If I ever need to switch to the P90 then I just stuff the Mk23 down the front of my vest or just wedge it under my right arm. To put things in perspective, the Mk23 with silencer is roughly the same length as a P90. Small, it ain't. [edit] And that G&G metal kit is junk. I can't imagine a gun based on it being very smooth or reliable. Link to post Share on other sites

Cruiser1068 Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 In fact going forward if I ever get into any pistol only games I might contact them and have them make me up a double draw rig Plus a couple of belt holsters, a couple of thigh holsters and a concealed ankle one too......just to be sure. Wont need to carry spare mags...just switch to another gun Link to post Share on other sites
