Frequently Asked Questions

What was the purpose of the rock climbing test for the Rapid Force Duty Holster?

The purpose was to demonstrate the exceptional strength and durability of the Rapid Force Duty Holster's high-impact polymer construction by subjecting it to extreme, non-traditional stress, proving its structural integrity under significant dynamic load.

How was the Rapid Force Duty Holster tested for durability?

Several Rapid Force Duty Holsters were mounted directly onto a climbing wall. A 175 lb climber then used these holsters as primary hand and foot holds to complete a bouldering route, testing their ability to support dynamic weight.

What materials are used in the Rapid Force Duty Holster's construction?

The Rapid Force Duty Holster is made from high-impact polymer construction. This material choice is key to its ability to withstand the extreme forces demonstrated in the durability test, supporting dynamic loads without failure.

Can the Rapid Force Duty Holster be used as a climbing hold?

While this test demonstrated the holster's impressive structural integrity under extreme stress, it is not designed or intended for use as a climbing hold. This was an extreme demonstration of its durability, not a recommended application.
