Guns & Ammo Names Safariland’s IncogX Holster of the Year

Jacksonville, Florida – Safariland®, a brand of The Safariland Group, a leading global provider of safety products designed for the public safety, military, professional and outdoor markets and one of Cadre Holdings, Inc.’s (NYSE: CDRE) (“Cadre”) is proud to have the newly redesigned, RDS compatible, IncogX Named Holster of the Year by Guns & Ammo.

“Receiving the Holster of the Year award from Guns & Ammo is a tremendous honor for Safariland,” said Eric Gasvoda, GM of Duty Gear for Safariland. “On behalf of both Safariland and the team at Haley Strategic Partners, we are thrilled to receive this prestigious award as it further validates our combined commitment to provide innovative and reliable products to the concealed carry community.”

Each year, Guns & Ammo celebrates the best in firearms, ammunition, optics, gear, and innovation. The winners in each category are chosen based on their exceptional quality, reliability, widespread availability, and affordability. The IncogX IWB Holster stood out for its outstanding performance and value to customers.

“The IncogX holster is a vetted collaboration that reflects Travis Haley’s brilliant concept, now evolved to accept present-day pistol configurations, a spare magazine, and support concealed-carry tactics. Safariland’s state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities enhanced the holster design while keeping it affordably attainable for the law-abiding users interested in inside-the-waistband carry,” said Eric R. Poole, Editor-in-Chief of Guns & Ammo. “Two respected names came together, shared their experience and reputations, producing one of the most important EDC holsters of our time. For its quality, innovation, features, and dependability, the Safariland IncogX decisively won Guns & Ammo’s Holster of the Year award.”

Safariland, in collaboration with Haley Strategic Partners, launched the IncogX in August 2023. The holster boasts passive retention, adjustable tension capabilities, and provides a smooth fit and draw, making it a top choice for concealed carry. Its versatility allows for concealed carry of a diverse range of handgun models and offers various carry positions.

Key features of the IncogX include three sizes of concealment-enhancing clip strut shims, micro and full-size red-dot compatibility, a microfiber suede-wrapped Boltaron body, an optional magazine caddy with tension adjustment, over-the-belt polymer clips, and passive trigger guard with ejection port retention. The IncogX is designed to fit popular firearms from GLOCK, SIG SAUER, and Shadow Systems, with additional fits in development.

Safariland is proud to receive this recognition from Guns & Ammo and will continue to innovate and provide the highest quality products to the firearms community.
