Title: Ted Blocker's "Lifeline" Holster.
Post by: gunfan on May 31 2023 08:43:34 PM MDT
As an Oregonian, I have a certain fondness for Ted Blockers Leather Holsters. These are some of the finest ever made, and the "Lifeline" (horizontal shoulder rig w/two upside-down offside magazine pouches and two belt attachments) is one of the best in today's market... bar none!

This was the first shoulder holster rig worn by Don Johnson in season one of Miami Vice. They still make this holster for the Bren Ten, 1911-pattern pistols, and other self-loaders. While there is a lead time of between 6 and 9 weeks, you can't beat the cost of less than $300.00.

Everything is handmade and with the finest quality leather on the planet. I plan on investing in one for my Glock 20, DW Razorback, and my EAA Witness.

Look them up. You'll be glad you did!

Yes the Ted Blocker rig is very nice I have one for my Original Bren Ten and actually have another on order...

Very nice, a friend of mine, Rudy Lozano at Black Hills Leather made this one for my P220 Elite 10mm, for sure some similarities, but not a Ted Blocker rig

I know the people at Ted Blocker personally. (I had them make a sheath for my bespoke Fishtail Picklock switchblade knife). The knife is an exact replica of the 1095 Carbon Steel automatic that Dad carried on board his Destroyer after WWII.

They make nothing but the finest holsters in the world. (They're good old-fashioned men and women from the Pacific Northwest that make nothing but quality goods).
