Double Tap Designs (DTD) Rapid Retention Holster Mk23 Socom - Olive Drab - Right Hand

If you own a Tokyo Marui, KSC, or ASG Mk23, you know the struggle: it is a massive pistol that usually feels like a brick in a standard universal holster. The DTD Rapid Retention Mk23 Holster is the definitive solution. Precision-engineered by Double Tap Designs, this Mk23-specific rig allows you to carry your "hand cannon" with a suppressor and light/laser module attached, providing lightning-fast access without the usual bulk of a fabric holster.

Key Features & Performance

• Suppressor Compatible - The unique open-front design allows you to holster the Mk23 even with long "Whisper" suppressors attached.
• One-Handed Draw - Features a thumb-activated spring-loaded retention bar for a smooth, natural draw stroke.
• Accessory Ready - Designed to accommodate the Mk23 with or without the original LAM (Light Aiming Module) or aftermarket rail adapters.
• High-Strength Polymer Construction - Built to withstand the rigours of intense skirmishing without cracking or losing its grip.
• MOLLE & Belt Mounting - Comes ready to be attached to your tactical belt or plate carrier with adjustable mounting options.

The "Pro" Take

The DTD Holster is widely considered the "Gold Standard" for Mk23 users. Traditionally, holstering a suppressed Mk23 meant using a "wraparound" holster that was slow to draw from and often resulted in the suppressor snagging. DTD solved this by gripping the trigger guard rather than the slide or barrel. The result? You can transition from your primary rifle to your silent secondary in under a second. It is the essential piece of kit for anyone taking the "Sniper-Sidearm" role seriously.

UK Spec & Site Performance

The Mk23 is a staple of the UK airsoft scene, prized for its silent operation at sites like The Mall or Driver Wood Airsoft. Because many UK players use the Mk23 as a "primary" in CQB or as a silent "assassin" tool in the dense woodland of Eversley, having a holster that doesn't flop around while you are crawling through the brush is vital.

The Olive Drab finish is a perfect match for British DPM or MTP kits, blending seamlessly into our typical forest environments. Additionally, since the Mk23 is often upgraded with "Sniping" inner barrels, it?s important to remember that most UK sites treat "Pistol Primaries" with the same 1.13J (350 FPS) limit. This holster keeps your RIF secure, ensuring you don't accidentally knock your suppressor and misalign your hop-up while moving through the terrain.

Friendly FAQ

Does this holster fit the Novritsch SSX23?
Yes! The SSX23 shares the same trigger guard dimensions as the original Mk23 platform, so it fits perfectly and retains just as securely.

Will it scratch my pistol?
The DTD holster is made of a tough polymer. While any hard holster can cause minor "beauty marks" over years of heavy use, the DTD is designed with smooth internal contact points to minimize wear on the trigger guard.

Can I mount this on my leg?
While it comes with a belt/MOLLE attachment, the DTD Mk23 Holster is compatible with many third-party drop-leg platforms (like those from Amomax or Cytac) if you prefer a lower carry position.

Does it work for left-handed players?
This specific model is the Right-Hand version. DTD does produce left-handed versions specifically for the "southpaw" shooters in the community!
