Default Ted Blocker Lethal Force Institute holsters

I am helping a recently widow with the estate of her husband and my dear friend. There are 3 LFI holsters that she wants to sell. I am not able to find a retail price on these.

These seem to be very well thought out and very well made with a velcro strip that attaches to the inside of the belt for IWB carry so that you can adjust the carry angle.

Any fellow members have knowledge of these?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Randy

I had one back in the late 80's early 90's. As I recall I returned it due to the velcro not securely keeping the holster in place. It was a very well made rig, just did not work for me. That was for a 4506. The belt however I kept and used for years until it shrunk too much... it's still around here someplace.

I was very happy with mine, and had no problem with the Velcro. My rig was also IWB, but no real adjustment on angle. I think I may have had it for an Officer's ACP. Eventually stuck mostly to Milt Sparks (Bruce Nelson) Summer Special for 1911ish pistols (NOT including the OACP).

Unfortunately, I am not competent to advise on pricing, except to say that condition is everything, and they were first-rate quality.

Believe Mitch Rosen and Ted Blocker made these in a calloboration with Massad Ayoob. Unknown value, need the belt velcroed to make them work.

FWIW, Ted Blocker's website lists the LFI rig (holster, belt, and mag pouch combo) for $180.

FYI, some belt makers offer a velcro-lined option. I know Beltman does.
