Bro, I appreciate your ideas, but the holders suck my shears are never in the holder always flying around the station or on the ground somewhere. I don’t know where my shears are at this point
I accidentally broke my trauma shear holster and reached out to XShear, not really expecting much. They sent me a replacement completely free of charge — no hassle, no questions asked. That kind of customer service is rare, especially in the EMS gear world. I’ll absolutely be a returning customer. Highly recommend supporting a company that stands behind their products.
I bought the Xshears and tactical holster 5 months ago during school. Shears are great, so far. However, this isn’t a review on the shears. The tactical holster broke this afternoon while getting ready for my shift. Just last week, a co-worker also had their tactical holster break, in the same exact spot. I’d have to say, if you’re working in the field, part of an EMS crew, this holster probably won’t hold up for too long. Literally broke after 7 shifts. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this holster. And, for the price tag, this chunk of plastic isn’t worth it. Especially when it can’t hold up in the field.
love how secure it is, I was just slow with how the 2 in belt adapter fits.
Can’t put it on a duty belt why would you make a “tactical “ product that won’t go on a 2” belt idk.
Excellent
Wish it had a more intuitive retention system. Otherwise great!
Works perfect with Xshears!
it’s too big and bulky. I was hoping for something smaller that would fit in my pocket so my shears won’t rip my pants. Good quality, great for men. Just too bulky for me
Love this holster! First using this it was pretty difficult to get the shears in and out of the holster, but after some wear it works perfectly! Love the retention on it especially when dealing with grabby patients.
Too hard to get the shears in/out. Maybe cause its still super new but still. Other than that glaring issue, works as advertised
Awesome sheath
Looks great, looking forward to using the the near future.
Will buy again
Great holster! Highly recommend it!
Absolutely love it!!!
Awesome as much as I told others they are. Now I have my own pair
Great product
You can always depend on XShear for quality products.
Bought the shears along with the holster after discovering my SOG knife was inadequate for seatbelt escape.
People complain it requires two hands to remove the shears from the holster.
I do NOT place my thumb in the thumb hole until after removal.
I place the middle thru pinky fingers through the large grip, while squeezing the release with the thumb and index finger.
Then pushing with index finger and thumb while tugging with the pinky pops it right out, no need to pull with the arm or wrist!
This combo will also replace my cheap shears for diving - freediving or scuba - for escape from nets, spear cables and etc, I use a loop of surgical tubing for around the wrist connected to the shears with cord to avoid dropping them. It is simple then to slip either hand thru the loop, then remove the shears from the holster. I do NOT put the cord around the wrist - only the tubing - or it could entrap me. I practice, practice, practice, eyes closed with alternate hands before an emergency arises. Oh, and I don't attach the holster to a weight belt.
This is how I do it, how you do it and the results are YOUR responsibility.
Four stars because it is a bit bulky.
Good quality, and it will absolutely hold the shears securely locked in where they won’t fall out and the belt clip is of a secure design also where I wouldn’t see it popping off with normal movement. BE AWARE you need both hands to release the retention and draw the shears out. The holster has 2 retention tabs, one on either side of the unit, and you need to depress both at the same time with one hand and use the other to pull the shears out, and it does take a little force to pull them out and then to positively lock them back into the holster. It may not always be practical in field or hospital use to have to use both hands to release the shears. I wish they’d design a more updated holster made of kydex and with a one handed one motion retention release either like a pistol holster or more similar to the design of the raptor molle holster.
I have carried my shears in this holster on my police Mollie vest for 6 months now.
It took a bit of time to get the position right,
The mechanism works well and it's easy to use with two hands, but I need two hands to cut clothing off someone.
It is a little bulky, but it is definitely the best secure holder I have found
If you are planning to carry your scissors on the belt and be 100% sure it will not fall off, the holster does great. Otherwise, it is very difficult to get the shears out with one hand. The molle clips are balky and will barely fit a molle system. Besides, I have to unscrew the holster in order to remove it.
I would like to see a new version of the holster made from kydex, thinner and easier to fit on a molle system.
I work as a ED nurse tech and These hold on to my scrub pants waist band just fine and the click lock holds it tight and I can get them out just as quick as reaching into my pocket. I definitely recommend this holster to anyone and have even got some of the security staff at my work to get some for the Xshears they have!
Whilst the scissors are second to non, the same cannot be said for the case, My scissors kept falling out when I slung by back pack on and knocked them, and the clip holding the belt snapped, they replaced straight away with amazing customer service, but overall the case needs more work.
I work for third service 911 in a busy metro area. I use this every day and cannot recommend them more. It keeps my shears secure when I don't require them, but completely accessible when I need them. As a bonus, this holster also holds basic $2 trauma shears perfectly in place.
In EMS for years and I’ve had mine awhile now...actually gave it away. This holster holds the shears fine but they are way too bulky for a belt or vest. Hard to release and doesn’t attach well to anything accessible.
If you are using this holster for a molle vest or bag then it is great and you can actually grip the holster with 2 hands to unlock the scissors. When this is on your belt, very impractical, cannot grip the lock with 2 hands to unlock. The holster itself is built well and the scissors are secure. However you should reconsider how to secure scissors in holster, for a first responder securing with a strap would be better.
