Purpose built for the demanding needs of 3-Gun competition, the new [NERD] (Next Evolution Research and Design) Pistol Coffin 3-Gun Holster provides a draw stroke that is fast, consistent and repeatable. This holster is reasonably priced (starting at $160) and is a complete solution for any 3-Gun competitor. Whether in the 3-Gun Nation Pro Series or just beginning to learn the sport of 3-Gun, having your pistol safe and secure at your side will ensure you finish matches without sacrificing speed on your draw stroke.

The [NERD] Pistol Coffin 3-Gun Holster fits all STI 2011 pistols up to five inches with or without a tac rail―as well as the STI DVC 3-Gun.

Additionally, the [NERD] Pistol Coffin features a special hood that keeps the rear sight protected during competition. The Trigger Guard Retention snaps in place around the trigger guard of the pistol to ensure the strongest lockdown during movement.

The holster is custom molded of thick Kydex in Atlanta, GA, and includes an Invictus Practical Holster Hanger, (long version) that is approximately six inches long and two inches wide, constructed of 6061-T6 hard-anodized aluminum with 18-8 stainless hardware. It also includes a Blade-Tech Tek-Lock belt attachment device.

Here’s the kicker. According to the [NERD] website, they will refund your match fees if the holster fails to secure your pistol at an event resulting in a DQ:

“If your pistol comes out of this holster at any championship level 3-Gun event, whether it's a stage DQ or a match DQ, email us, and we will refund your entire match entry fee. We just need your order number.”
