Safariland elastic leg strap source
« on: December 07, 2020, 11:20:15 PM »
I thought this would've been asked by now, but a search came up with nothing. Does anyone have a source for the
rubber impregnated elastic, that Safariland (and several other companies) use? Looking at getting a 1.5” full roll, in black.

I don't have a source, but if you ask for "gripper elastic" from your usual suppliers you're probably getting tons of options.

Google also has tons of hits from ebay, amazon and alibaba, but that could be kinda sketchy and impossible to trace down the actual source and spec.

Been doing all that. I use MMI for rolled goods. The easy route would be to ask the companies where they source it (Safariland, T-Rex, True North). I thought it would easier to ask here.

The fact that it's a US made product (since the holsters are Berry Compliant) means that there is a seriously limited amount of possibilities.
https://www.calwebmills.com/ seems like a plausible source that at least publicly has the right category.

OC Tactical sells this; http://stores.octactical.com/multicam-1-5-inch-elastic-with-silicone-backing/
Which is from Murdock webbing. Might have been a custom product, but if you haven't asked Murdock you probably want to give them a call.

Essal, thanks for the help. Everyone is holding this source close to the chest. I’ve emailed a few companies and have only gotten  “I don’t know”, or similar such answers. I didn’t want to press the issue more, so I just left it at that. Maybe one day, someone will find out. I’ll check with calwebbing. I saw the strap OC carries- I thought I emailed them too, but I guess I didn’t (emailed a bunch of companies)! I’ll check with him.

Hey all-

So, I’ll post this info here in case someone comes searching in the future.

Murdock does produce this webbing, however it is a custom batch. It can always be custom produced, but the minimum would be approximately 7500 yards.

Also, the minimum purchase order is $1500. If anyone ever wants to do a group buy, I’d be in! Just an FYI!
