I am not a fan of the Galco Holster Vault holster but I need to clarify that the intent of the lock is to provide security when the gun is not being carried.
Law enforcement personnel, who must often remove their handguns to enter correctional facilities or courthouses, will appreciate the additional level of security provided by the Holster Vaultâ„¢. Law enforcement personnel may choose to insert one side of their handcuffs through the holster/trigger guard instead of using a Galco padlock, (see illustration B). The other end of the cuffs may also be locked around a secure object as a further security measure (see illustration C).
Armed airline pilots who are part of the Federal Flight Deck Officers will find that the Holster Vault™ meets that program’s requirements for pre- and post-boarding weapon security, and provides extra peace of mind when flying with a firearm.
Armed citizens may wish to secure their handguns in vehicles when entering firearms prohibited areas ("disarmed-victim zones") or when placing them in a night table. The Holster Vault’s additional layer of safety and security will provide these gun owners an additional level of assurance.
