These days we all tend to have our favourite pistol models, and this is something that the RED CELL crew will be looking at soon as they pick their top handgun models from 2024!
However, the fact is that for different disciplines we may favour one model over another, and whilst if you’re s dedicated competition shooter you may have a specific “race rig” for this, the fact is that most of us would like one holster with a few mounting options to fit multiple models of pistol.
Now this has is fairness been tried before, but it appears that our mates at KYDEX CUSTOMS have come up with a solution that actually works, and works well… they call it the OONI Universal Kydex Holster, “The Ultimate Universal Kydex Holster”, and it’s available in a multitude of colourways and finishes to work with your preferred loadout!
They went on to tell us that;
“Designed from the ground up, the OONI Universal Kydex Holster offers unparalleled versatility. It’s engineered to fit nearly every pistol on the market and is compatible with over 15 different weapon lights, making it the ideal choice for anyone looking for a reliable and adaptable holster.
The OONI Universal Kydex Holster ensures a secure fit, unmatched versatility, and a fast, smooth draw. Optimize your pistol setup with the holster that adapts to your needs.”
In terms of features the OONI certainly appears to stack up very well indeed;
- Universal Fit: Custom-designed to fit almost every pistol platform available.
- Extensive Weapon Light Compatibility: Accommodates over 15 models of weapon lights for added flexibility.
- Optic-Ready: Compatible with both slide-mounted and frame-mounted optics, allowing for seamless use with your preferred setup.
- Open Muzzle Design: Perfect for pistols with threaded barrels and muzzle devices.
- Tracer and Suppressor Compatibility: Supports suppressors and tracers up to 30mm in diameter.
- Enhanced Sight Channel: Specifically designed for suppressor height sights, ensuring co-witness with slide-mounted optics.
- Extended Controls: Fully compatible with extended slide release and magazine release controls.
- Full Firing Grip: Offers a high firing grip, even for pistols with undercut trigger guards.
The passive-retention design eliminates the need for cumbersome hoods, straps, or buttons, providing a sleek and efficient solution; adjustable retention screws along the holster’s edge allow you to fine-tune the fit according to your preferences. To achieve this, the OONI holster has multiple points of adjustable retention; to make the holster require more or less force to draw the pistol from the holster simply tighten or loosen the two screws on the underside of the holster with a Phillips head screwdriver.
And now we’ve had chance to try one for ourselves we’ve got to say that once you’ve set it up as described then the retention is actually first rate; with just a simple bit of adjustment on those two screws we could easily swap out between our X300-mounted “MilSim Glock” and our “Skirmish 1911” with ease, and they stay in place superbly once you have everything tensioned correctly.
Another cool feature of the OONI Universal Kydex Holster is its super versatility; designed with a modular-hole-pattern, the back of the holster is fully compatible with a wide range of mounting options. Whether you prefer Safariland, G-Code, Blackhawk, Blade-Tech, S&S Precision, or other brands using a 3-screw attachment system, the OONI integrates seamlessly, offering unmatched adaptability.
We also tried the new KYDEX CUSTOMS Laser Cut Mid Ride Mount which is available as a “combo deal” with the OONI Universal Kydex Holster, and we have to say that this is yet another cool bit of kit, and we can see it working perfectly over the winter months when you have the extra length of a waterproof jacket to contend with…
We’ll talk more about the entire setup and the full range of mounting options at a later date when we’ve had chance to test them properly in-game, but as far as we can see right now KYDEX CUSTOMS have yet another winner on their hands.
