Fobus Holsters has become aware of several counterfeit offerings of the Fobus Holster and magazine pouch.
These counterfeit products are produced in China, and distributed throughout the US, and manufactured to look exactly like a Standard GL2 Fobus Holster. The appearance between the genuine Fobus Holster products and the counterfeits is nearly unapparent, including replications of registered trademarks and patent numbers.
To assist in identifying a counterfeit product, you should look for the following:
- Does it say MADE IN ISRAEL? If not then it is a counterfeit holster and should not be used. ALL FOBUS HOLSTERS ARE MADE IN ISRAEL.
- Non-close fitting. The counterfeit holsters protrude from the body and do not sit close to the hip as an authentic Fobus Holsters does.
- A polymer spacer placed between the front and back portions of the holster. This removes all tension.
- The metal rivet reinforcement strip lacking "FOBUS".
- RH will be stamped before the item number. Fobus does not do this.
The counterfeit Fobus GL2 has a plastic spacer in the holster body, and is not marked "MADE IN ISRAEL" marking on paddle.
Fobus does not stamp "RH" before the item number.
No "FOBUS" stamping on metal rivet reinforcement strip
The counterfeit Fobus GL2 holster does not have the "MADE IN ISRAEL" marking under PAT.PEND. on the right side of holster.
The counterfeit Fobus GL2 holster has a gap (extreme protrusion) from the holster paddle when comparted to the authentic holster.
