An SLR15 fighting rifle

cers use a security holster while on duty.
The ALS series of holsters is a significant
step forward for those who must carry a
holstered weapon on a daily basis.
Offered first for the Glock series pistols—which
will quickly be joined by
others—the ALS is offered in several finishes
and performed exceedingly well
during tests. The ALS locks the weapon
into the holster immediately upon being
placed there without the officer having
to manually operate any lever, hood or
snap. Once locked, the weapon with the
light attached is secure and will remain
holstered under extreme situations until
the integral locking bar is disengaged.
While it will not be discussed in detail
in an open publication, suffice it to say
that the ALS lock is very quick to release
while at the same time offering unparalleled
weapons retention. The ALS, in
most versions, also features a hood that
may be rotated to the rear, covering the
weapon and offering even more retention
against loss or snatch. The light-capable
ALS will accept most of the common pistol-mounted
lights, including the SSL-1.
As with many other products, the tactical
light continues to improve and see
more uses. The companies involved in
their manufacture will continue to refine
their products from lessons learned on
the mean streets and in combat around
the world. Insight Technology has crafted
a logical follow-on to their original M3
light, which set the stage for many other
offerings that have since come down the
pike. The SSL-1 offers the durability of
an LED light source in a proven package
that makes it extremely useable for officers,
soldiers and private citizens who
may find themselves in harm’s way. §
