Novritsch Open Universal Holster Mk2

Description

One Holster, Multiple Platforms: Novritsch Open Universal Holster Mk2

The Novritsch Open Universal Holster Mk2 is designed for players who are tired of swapping holsters every time they change pistol or loadout. Rather than using a separate moulded holster for every handgun, the Universal Holster Mk2 provides a single compact holster body that can be used with a range of compatible Universal Holster Adapters.

The Mk2 improves on the original design with a wider entry point, improved ergonomics and a higher-positioned release button, making it easier to holster your replica quickly and release it with a single press. It can also accommodate larger setups, including pistols fitted with compatible carbine kits and SMG platforms when used with the appropriate adapter.

Key Features & Performance

• Universal design: One holster body can accommodate multiple compatible pistols and SMGs when paired with the correct adapter.
• Improved Mk2 ergonomics: The retention button has been repositioned higher for easier access during a draw.

• Low-profile design: The compact body is designed to avoid unnecessarily sticking out from your loadout.
• Large pistol compatibility: Compatible setups can include pistols fitted with carbine kits.
• SMG compatibility: The system can also be configured for compatible SMG platforms using the appropriate Universal Holster Adapter.

The “Pro” Take

The real advantage of the Novritsch Open Universal Holster Mk2 is flexibility. If you regularly switch between different pistols, the Universal Holster system means you don’t necessarily need a completely different holster every time. Simply use the appropriate adapter for your chosen platform and keep the same holster setup on your kit.

The Mk2 design also makes practical improvements over the original. The wider mouth is more forgiving when holstering your pistol, while the raised release button is easier to reach when you’re moving quickly. That makes it particularly useful for players who want a simple, repeatable draw without having to fight with their equipment.

Its compact profile is another useful touch. Instead of a large moulded holster projecting from your belt or loadout, the Universal Holster keeps the main holster body relatively compact while allowing the adapter to provide the platform-specific interface.

Compatibility & Adapters

The Open Universal Holster Mk2 is designed to work with compatible Universal Holster Adapters. Novritsch lists dedicated adapters for the SSE18, SSP1, SSP18, SSP2/SSP28, SSP5/SSP1 and TP22 systems, as well as adjustable Universal Holster Adapters for pistol and SMG platforms.

Please note: the required adapter is not the same as the holster itself and may need to be purchased separately depending on your pistol or SMG. Always check that the correct adapter is available for your specific replica before ordering.

UK Airsoft Use

The Mk2 is a practical choice for UK skirmishers who run multiple sidearms or regularly change their loadout. Its active retention gives the replica a secure hold while still allowing a quick draw when required, making it suitable for woodland, CQB and general skirmish use.

The open design does leave the trigger area exposed, so this holster should only be used with airsoft replicas, as specified by Novritsch. It is also not compatible with the Novritsch Belt Clip, so the correct mounting solution should be selected for your intended setup.
