Armortek Paddle Holster
Galco first started experimenting with thermoplastic holsters in the mid 70's. They found that kydex, a thermoplastic first developed for wall coverings, and widely used in other fields, simply did
not make into a good holster! Exposure to direct sunlight, heat and freezing temperatures all took their toll, and often resulted in cracking or warping of the holster. Despite all its faults, kydex is to this
day still used as a holster material by a small number of custom makers and some larger manufacturers. Twenty years of subsequent experimentation and major improvements in thermoplastics has yielded ARMORTEK
, a custom-mix of glass-filled nylon and elastomers made for Galco International, Inc.—our answer to the kydex holster of yesterday. ARMORTEK can be formed into a holster that meets Galco's rigorous
standards for quality and durability, and stands up to the elements as well as to all the normal abuse of full-time law enforcement use. Simply put, it is an inexpensive, almost maintenance-free and
water-friendly holster that can be easily disinfected if contaminated.
