How to Adjust a Blackhawk Holster

Blackhawk! produces a revolutionary design of holsters that are a favorite among numerous law enforcement agencies. The holsters are made to be extremely durable, highly impact resistant, and offer added security measures such as a handgun locking mechanism. The handgun is removed from the holster by depressing a button on the side of the holster, which keeps law enforcement officials protected from an aggressor removing a handgun easily from the holster during a struggle. Adjusting a Blackhawk! holster for a specific carrying style should be done per manufacturer instructions.
