Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Where to get a Blade Tech or a Safariland?

AFAIK...Opticsplanet will not export Safariland, but... and for those of you who know what I am about to recommend, I'm choking on my own words even sayin this... R. Nichols is the exclusive Canadian distributor for Safariland so you'll have to go through them. Be aware that from time to time, reports of less than helpful customer service for "civilians" seems to crop-up on various discussion groups, mostly attributed to their complete lack of interest in anyone not connected with their larger supply contracts.

IF however, you're looking for a not too shabby and reasonably-priced clone of a 6004 drop leg, try Huang's (Dragonred) Airsoft. His are quite good though lacking the guard over the thumb break but more importantly, they don't have Safariland's nice suede, anti-scratch liner so you'll have to roll your own solution for padding the interior of the holster. Also, none of his come with the tac-light option so if you have/want one mounted on your pistol, you're stuck with having to go with the real deal and pay the ridiculous Canadian prices Nichols charges.

Finally, your last option is to wait for your WTB request to be answered by someone here.

Good luck,
