Frequently Asked Questions

Why did SPN Firearms stop recommending the Borei Pocket Holster?

The Borei Pocket Holster failed due to excessive wear from pocket debris encountered in a construction environment. Dirt, grit, and sawdust caused the holster and firearm frame to degrade, leading to a critical loss of retention and posing a safety risk.

What are the safety risks associated with a worn pocket holster?

A worn pocket holster can lose its retention, allowing the firearm to detach. Critically, the holster material can shift into the trigger guard, increasing the risk of an accidental discharge, especially if the holster itself is thin and flexible.

How long did the Borei Pocket Holster last before failing?

The instructor used the Borei Pocket Holster for approximately one year, estimating around 2,400 to 3,000 hours of pocket carry. While it performed flawlessly initially, extensive use in a debris-heavy environment led to its eventual failure.

Can pocket holsters be used long-term in harsh environments?

The video suggests that some thin polymer pocket holsters, like the Borei, may not be suitable for long-term, high-wear use in environments with significant debris. The constant rubbing of grit can degrade the holster and compromise firearm retention.
