Quantum Mechanics OWB Condition 3 Carry Quick Tactical Holster
(Model: Glock 17 / 22 Right Hand)

*Gun, magazines, & ammunition shown in images not includedWhether your preferred method of handgun carry is concealed or open, a quality holster that fits your preferred method, lifestyle, and carry condition is a must. In carrying a weapon, firearm conditions are a primary way to declare the readiness of the weapon.

Condition Zero (0) refers to magazine inserted, round in the chamber, hammer cocked, and safety off. This method of carry is arguably the quickest to present and discharge your weapon as it does not require any fine motor skills to manipulate slides or safeties on the weapon. The drawback of this carry condition is the concern for safety as the weapon is ready at any given moment, which increases the chance of a potential negligent discharge in a gross motor skill situation.

Condition One (1) refers to magazine inserted, round in chamber, hammer cocked, and safety on. This method of carry is often referred to Cocked & Locked. The advantage of this carry method is that presentation of the firearm is just as quick as condition zero, but requires the fine motor skill of disengaging the safety before the weapon can be discharged. The extra step to ready the firearm at the draw reduces the chance of a negligent discharge.

Condition Two (2) refers to magazine inserted, round in chamber, hammer uncocked. This method of carry is popular with weapons that feature a double action / single action trigger. The long double action pull for the first shot means the user has to deliberately pull the trigger to fire the weapon. In a sense, this carry condition allows presentation of the weapon similar to Condition Zero, however the user must be accustomed to transitioning from a long double action pull to a single action pull.

Condition Three (3) refers to magazine inserted, empty chamber, hammer uncocked. This carry method is often referred to as Israeli Carry. The idea behind this method of carry is that it is inherently the safest as you will need to manipulate the slide to chamber a round before the weapon may be discharged. The drawback of this method of carry is the amount of time it takes to ready and present the weapon.

Condition Four (4) refers to a completely unloaded weapon. This carry condition is usually only used when holstered at a public range that allows holster carry, or at a firearms class before being instructed to load the weapon.

For some, not all carry conditions are available either due to agency policy, local laws, weapon configuration, or just user preference. The Quantum Mechanics holster was specifically designed to fill a specific role and re-acquire some of the weapon presentation speed that is lost when running a weapon in Condition Three without sacrificing any of the safety. The unique design of the holster allows the weapon to be released and have a round chambered with quick fluid motion using just one hand. To use this unique holster, the weapon retention button is pressed to release the weapon and allow the holster to swing out. The next movement is to push the weapon down into the holster itself which will cycle the slide and chamber a round. Lastly the weapon can then be lifted out of the holster and presented for immediate use. To reholster your weapon, simply clear your weapon to put it back into condition three; the holster is magnetized with a guide slot for your front sight for easy and quick indexing of your weapon before locking back in place.
Other key features of this holster system is its open bottom design allowing the use of any lights and lasers without modification or adjustment to the weapon or holster.
