Went to Changi Village last few weeks with my buddy to get
a CR Speed holster for IPSC at src while i wanted to get a set of
bdu since a set of tru-spec multi-cam.
Went into the shops which hang lots of gun replicas with orange
tips which og sells for around $20. Exactly off the
shelf pieces since i collect them. Priced at $80 and
above. Absolutly a rip off!
Went to look at the bdus which they had acu, marpat,
tri-coloured dessert and multi-cam. When i
asked Louis(that guy at sembawang cc having an airsoft range)
if they were tru-spec, he replied that they are
tru-spec. Looked the quality through before i got them. And
noticed that the acu dont feel like they were from tru-spec since i
own a set. Searched for the tag and noticed that there were no
tru-spec logo but instead, some military looking patches in the
shirt saying sometihing like;
Mil-Spec Military Battle Dress Uniform....
And when i questioned Louis, he said that they are out of stock
and these are made in thailand. At $160 a set!
Damn! Was so pissed when i realised that he was trying to con
me. Even tru-specs at $160, i would fark him since i can get it at
Sheares at $140!
Louis later introduced some CR looking holster, retailing
at $380. Telling us that it is a design that CR copied from.
Since its almost at the same price and there isnt a steady stock
for CRs in the country, he decided to get it.
I'm using a half 1911 double stack JR Speed Holster made in
Phillipines while the holster(the fake CR) was made in thailand
after carefully inspecting the holster after shit happens.
Got my JR from Potong pasir CC which is a steel gun holster at
around $350 since CR holsters for leftie is damn diffucult to
find.
A pinoy holster is much better than a SA designed holster?
Obviously the thai holster is a pirated version of the SA designed
holster.
Even the safety lock on the holster(which prevents people
grabbing the arm and prevents dropping of the arm) is on, one
can simpily pull the gun off the holster with the lock still
on.
Went chuk tu chuk lately and found it less than
1000bhat for that identical piece.
Damn! Will never return to that shop. Not flaming the shop but
mentioning the facts
