6004 1911 Holster replica

[huang]

Same material as the 6004 1911 holster, KYDEX100




Real 6004 1911 holster

[ILLusion]

Any other colours?

[Wilson]

You are my hero. Any possibility of a Glock17 model?

[j3anius]

If you get any of these for an m9, I'd get one!

No, so far only 1911. Color black only. There are some other chinese 6004 clones, the quality is not impressive. This one so far is the best.

p226, and you have my money.

Hmm. I guess nobody cares that this holster infringes on Safariland's SLS related patents. I realize we pursue a hobby which involves imitation of soldiery, but it's unnerving how quick we are to buy stuff that infringes on patents and trademarks and directly competes with the original makers of products.

Buying an AEG with authentic markings doesn't compete with rifle manufacturers, but buying copied holsters and gear basically says you love the results of someone's work, but you don't have any respect for their efforts invested.

Nichol's has the real thing for around $120

[Jar|-|ead]

but never in-stock.

Real 6004 picture updated, you may see the difference. P226 model will be available soon.

I assume these don't have the gun suede (imitation gunsuede on the new 6004 models) that the real deal does?

No. This "replica" ha sno imitation gunsuede inside which is not required since this holster will fit 1911 perfectly according to the manufacturer.

Patent infringement aside (a big aside, I know), it seems to me that cloning holsters occupy the same space as copying authentic rifle markings for the most part. If one buys a clone holster to use with a fake gun, it's not exactly taking up projected market shares of any real steel holster makers. They didn't go into business planning on making holsters for fake guns, there is no competition in that market.

If someone purchases a clone holster for a real gun, well, then one can actually claim they're hurting Safariland, BH, or whoever else. But I really can't see armed professionals trusting their lives and reputation on Chinese knock-offs. The patent infringement argument seems much more poignant.

I know this is a touchy subject because I know you have been burned by people copying your products. But with respect, how can airsofters play with out replicas? Would we go and buy everything from Eagle and Blackhawk? Buy real M68s or ACOGS? It would cost thousands of dollars just to get a bare bones loadout. If you took all the replica gear like Phantom/Pantac away from airsofters, you would be left with a lot of rich guys with nice gear, and then dudes in hoodies looking like they are ready for a paintball game with mags shoved in their pockets.

I know that it sucks that replicas take money away from the people that did the initial research and design, but how can I possibly justify paying $180 for a RRV, and probably another $100-200 on pouches when a replica is available for a fraction of the price. But again with respect, the reality is airsoft could not exist without replicas.

Sorry Huang for the thread hijack.
