Simplicity - BlackHawk Universal Fit Bedside Handgun Holsters

Blackhawk has a simple and effective design on this mattress holster, contingent on a couple of factors. One factor is the mattress and box spring application. They’re not all equal, so some may lack the necessary weight and contact surfaces necessary to maintain a good grip to stay put when pulling the weapon. Non slip strips are on the product, but perhaps hook and loop combined with 6” additional length to help ensure proper anchoring and stability.

The holster portion is rugged material with simplistic tapered strap design to accommodate wide range of pistols. Several of my handguns have a fairly prominent front site and on the pull, it snags significantly. My Staccato C2 wasn’t too bad, but my CZ Shadow 2 was nearly impossible to pull and my Walther PPQ with upgraded sights requires a specific tilt motion to alleviate the “snag”. The two in the morning, dead sleep, thump in the night scenario is not a premium moment to have an access delay.

I would like to see a merger of products to fill this need. I happen to be a big fan of the neoprene pocket holsters out on the market. They are simple, minimalist, effective designs that do the job for my carry application. A neoprene pocket holster with a Velcro means to attach to a well designed mattress anchor would be optimal, IMO.

Bottom line: This Blackhawk mattress holster should work great on some applications, with the right mattress, weapon size and configuration. It will not really accommodate a weapon mounted light. So considering that darkness is a very real factor, this is another consideration.
