Eagle Thumb Break System for Universal Chest RigThis Thumb Break System allows you to convert one of the outer mag pouches on the
Eagle Universal Chest Rig into a holster with a quicker release for a handgun
than the velcro retention strap that is provided with the Chest Rig. The System consists of one 1" webbing
strap that has the female snap that replaces the existing velcro retention
strap, one 1" webbing strap that has the male snap that affixes to the
outside of the pouch via velcro, and one 2" wide velcro "lock
plate" that locks the outer strap in place (you can also use a
velcro-backed Flag patch or similar to lock in the strap).
Directions for use:
Replace the existing velcro retention strap with the 1" webbing strap
with the female snap with no velcro on it.
The open end of the snap should be facing into the pouch. Run the loose end of the webbing back up
through the metal tri-glide to lock it in place, and then fold it back down
over the tri-glide again to ensure that the metal tri-glide is not rubbing
against your handgun.
Take the 1" webbing piece with the male snap and snap it into the
piece with the female snap. Triple
check to ensure that your firearm is unloaded, and place it into the pouch
you are installing the Thumb Break System on.
Make adjustments to the straps to ensure proper positioning of the
thumb-break straps over the rear of the slide on your handgun. Once adjustments have been made, secure the
1" webbing with male snap to the outside of the pouch with velcro, and
lock it in place with the 2" velcro lock plate.
In order for the Thumb Break System to work properly, you need to make sure
that the handgun is bottomed out in the pouch, and that there is tension on
the straps when it is in place over the handgun. If there is not sufficient tension, the
strap will be loose over the end of your slide and will not provide proper
retention.
If you are running a striker-fired handgun such as the Glock, M&P or
XD, you will need to run the thumb-break on the highest point on the grip, as
there will not be sufficient tension to hold it in place at the back of the
slide. |
