Duty Speedholster // G7 G9 Recover Tactical

update 03.05.2025
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

• made changes to the tolerances of the clamp and changed the angle of some corners to better fit different pistol models. 
• added an alternative duty spring with a lot more retention

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

a speedholster that is secure enough to be used for duty. big thanks to Maverick0197 for reverse engineering the G7 Recover Tactical. 

differences to the original G7: The holster is 4mm wider to cover enlarged trigger guards of competition pistols such as the Shadow 2 or XFive Legion and to make the clamp sit tighter and more secure due to a different screw placement. Due to the enlargement this holster is not ambi anymore, while the clamp still is. Make sure to mirror all holster parts if you are left-handed.

- step files will follow once it is all cleaned up.  -

needed harware for the clamp:

• 1x M4x16
• 1x M4 nut
• 1x M3x16
• 1x M3 nut

for the fork:

• 2x M4x12
• 2x M4 nut

for the mount:

• 1x M4x16
• 2x M4x12
• 3x M4 nut

print instructions: 

• .2 layer height
• 20% hexagonal-infill
• 5 walls, 6 top-layer, 6 bottom-layer
• clamp needs to be Nylon or PCTG due to increased heat at the barrel exit
• all other parts can be printed in PETG or PLA+

troubleshooting:

• if the springs do not fit in, make sure to scrape remaining support interfaces from the fork and make sure they are correctly oriented before applying pressure.
• do not remove the spring from a hot heatbed, it might deform the spring. let it cool
• if the clamp sits loosly on your pistol while the screws of the clamp are not fully tightened please contact me an I can adjust the clamp to your individual accessory rail. 

changes to the fork:

• 4mm wider overall to make guns with bigger trigger guards safe - not just subcompacts (e.g. shadow 2, DWX, P320 where not safe in the G7 Holster). 
• The spring is now a snap-in-place clip in to allow for tool-less assembly.
• the spring shape was changed to a slightly more protruded chamfer to prevent that the gun gets stuck when pulling due to reverse-bending of the spring. 
• used some grooves to reduce weight and increase strength

changes to the clamp:

• changed screw position to allow for an M3x16 screw at a much more secure position that also improves compatibility with different pistols due to decreased tilt
• made it a one-piece design for tool-less assembly, also allows for 45° printing now

changes to the mount:

• mounting plate is safariland for simplicity reasons, there is also a little protrusion to catch the fork in the mount and destribute the forces away from the screws into the plate itself. 
• used a bigger offset to prevent the finger getting caught by the mount while resting on a safety (important for 2011 and Shadow2 /TS2)
