recessed heel release
victorlouis - you heel release you asked about was an interim modification to the psp to address the problem of p7's riding in duty holsters and releasing the mag
when pushed against and rubbed on the seats of squad cars.
the release is wider and is concave, in relation to the heel of the grip, rather than convex. it is a bit slower to activate as the weak thumb has to be aligned between the grip pannels to push in the release.
we had a couple of officers who were carrying them on pur department. they look cleaner in profile
but are slower, for me anyway, in a "speed reload" and very ackward in a "tactical reload".
the price is a bit more than i'd pay but, i already have a psp ($435 many years ago) and a m8 (<$650 for a reburb last year). of course i never thought i'd pay over $500 for the m8...hk, many years ago again, had a police price of $375
for the m13 and $345 for the m8. of course, being the forward thinking person i am, i passed up the offer
