thinking about a new holster for my m&p 40. anyone have any experience/input/thoughts on atomic dog holsters http://www.atomicdogholsters.com/Main.html
Not knocking the guy at all but looks pretty close to a Raven holster.
Hi guys, Brian from Atomic Dog.
Basically, I’m here to answer any questions you guys might have about our products.
First off, they tend to be similar in design to the Raven holsters because that is what I was asked to make, and that is a design I feel comfortable with. However, there are many little differences including material thickness, loops and spacing, lines, ext. Also because I do custom work no two holsters will be identical. basically: same species, different animal. The more time that passes, the more they begin to diverge.
Feel free to ask any and all questions, that’s why I’m here.
good prices… how long is the wait on one of these?
any chance of a G26 holster becoming available soon?
Skyugo,
Right now I am up to about a three week lead time. A recent leg injury has kept me out of the shop and freakily, I am not happy with the wait times. I am doing everything I can. this is still a part time gig for me.
I would love to support the G26, I can add it to my list for furute blue gun orders.
why not make molds?
where are you based out of?
sounds good, i may be placing an order
I just ordered three holsters and some mag pouches. As soon as they are in I’ll get some pics up and a review.
;)Really same but different. Raven offers different thicknesses. And the like again nice ripoff no original thought. By the way don’t you also own a raven holster ?
Seams like all the rip offs of raven have one thing in common the all own them
THAT IS A CLUE
i cant understand this
ravens are great… if this thing is 80% as good as a raven for ~half the price though… well. that’s tempting isn’t it? it looks like a quality product from the pics, and let’s face it, making a kydex holster isn’t rocket science. not saying it’s easy, but just because it hasn’t been blessed by raven concealment doesn’t make it crap.
yea, not sure how anyone can criticize this guy for the holsters he makes… there’s not really too many different ways to mold kydex. any two are bound to be similar.
i wasn’t sure he was criticizing anything, though…
Of courses so its OK to copy it right?
I mean why not its the American way
Copy a proven design make money it takes little to no original idea and easy if you. Own one too.
Show me a holster that looked like raven before ravens came out
Kydex holsters will be similar, it is a riveted two-piece design. My holsters are ripoffs of Raven the same Hundai is a ripoff of Honda because they both have four wheels and seats. Both will do what you want, one is more affordable.
And I am in no way knocking Raven, they make a fantastic product. I just think offering a quality product at a lesser price and without a 3 month wait is fantastic too.
Steve, some of my favorite flashlights are Romisen lights. They are similar in design to Surefires and other expensive lights, are produced with high quality, and can be had for much less than the expensive brands. I am not saying that you have to go buy one but it is an option. Quality gear should not be out of reach of the average consumer.
Also, show me a car that looked like a Model T before the Model T came out. You have the choice to buy whatever you want, if you would rather have a Raven go for it! If you want a different design you can find someone who can make it or purchase some kydex and try it yourself. It is much easier to criticize than to do.
Whatever makes you sleep. Better
So do you own a raven?
Actually, it is for sale. I like my designs better. I look forward to seeing your designs.
thought so sorry my designs are with optic sights and firearms companies
Guess there is reason why there is 70 day wait on there rigs
Yep, good designs and being featured my Magpul Dynamics helps. But I guess we will have to agree to disagree then.
Take care Steve!
what’s the other option? fold over and a rivet or screw like comptac?
i’d rather see more raven style holsters.
how many different AR15’s are there out there? is that a rip off?
how many striker fired browning short recoil pistols are on the market? glock ripoffs right?
when something is good it becomes the standard, or at least A standard.
raven is back ordered damn near 3 months. having more guys making similar holsters is a good thing.
I love you
(in a healthy man-love kinda way)
