Frema holsters?? Anyone tried one?

[gbelleh]

I saw an ad in AH for Frema holsters. Their web site says:

"It is a new kind of holster and a new way of drawing a gun - which we are the first - by abrubtly pushing the tip of the barrel of the gun with a flick of the fingers, launching the gun upward, delivering it right to your drawing palm at a split second speed of approximately 1/3 of a second or less because of it's unique holster design. It is the best way to do it if you want speed draw from a full concealment holster without a jacket and with your shirt tucked -in and with 100% comfort."

Has anyone ever seen or tried one of these??? What do you think of the idea?

Hey, I saw that too in AH. Buy one - try it and give us a report. :)

I don't care if the proverbial fit does hit the shan, I'm not putting my fingers anywhere near "the tip of the barrel of the gun". When the going gets tough, I want the security of knowing where my gun is and want to know that it is secure. Knowing that "launching the gun upward, delivering it right to your drawing palm" is happening does not reinforce my confidence. I don't want "launching guns" happening when my life is on the line. What happens if my "palm" is not where the holster expects it to be? Will this work if I am forced to go prone?

I confess to being old and set in my ways but I made it this far, so I must have made some correct choices. In my most humble opinion, this seems to be the stuff of mall ninjas. I will stay with the simple, proven and secure.

Amen, Nemesis!

I can't visualize the way this works. If you have to draw by:
abrubtly pushing the tip of the barrel of the gun with a flick of the fingers, launching the gun upward, delivering it right to your drawing palm at a split second speed of approximately 1/3 of a second or less because of it's unique holster design
...how on earth can your hand BE there to catch the gun? Seems to me that if your fingers are pushing up on the muzzle, your palm will be at the side of the holster, or in front of or behind it, rather than above the grip of your firearm. Are you supposed to do a rapid-recovery exercise and catch the gun in mid-air as it exits the holster???

IMHO this is even worse than a Pager Pal, while the idea is OK and looks interesting to some, they fail to realize that the weapon has to be located way underneath the belt line, thus making sitting down, almost unbearable with the holster in place.

Back when I first started buying handguns and holsters, I fell for this scam. The PagerPal was the talk of the streets. I bought it, and sold it within 2 days.

I just don't get the idea behind these holsters.

And I also agree with the others, the fingers or hands should never extend past the muzzle of the weapon, poor gun handling being "condoned"by a holster maker, just to make a buck.

Did you guys check out the videos on the web site??

I wonder what could happen if you accidentally bump the muzzle somehow. Will the gun go flying out of your pants??

I like Thunderwear/Smart Carry style holsters, and I like how this one seems to hide the shape of the gun with the hard curved cover, but I don't like the idea of the gun flying out of the holster.

I'd like to hear from someone who's actually used one. I'd get one and give a report, but I don't want to spend the $44.95 the thing costs and find out it sucks!

The guy also needs to leard to spell!!!...
