Company Development
Company DevelopmentGhost International is an Italian company, which was officially founded in 2004 after years of product research and development. In the late 1990’s plans were already made for the founding of the company and both modular and rotation holster and magazine pouch systems were patented. Fine tuning of the products was undertaken with close cooperation with top IPSC competitors and various police and military user groups.
In 2004 Ghost launched their modular holster system which caused a revolutionary turn in the building of holster systems worldwide. All major holster builders followed soon with comparable systems. Ghost then gave the holster a rotation system for use in vehicles and motorcycles. Again, the rest of the field followed. Ghost is now an accredited ISO9001 quality certified company and as of 2005 most of their products now has a NATO Stock Number ( NSN ). Ghost has the flexibility to use their basic items and make changes to them in order to make specialised products to suit customer needs.
Ghost products see wide spread use by law enforcement and military organisations.
A lot of the development work and evolution of equipment associated with firearms that is used by many police forces and military units is undertaken by those who are involved in target shooting competition. Accessories that evolve and work in the target shooting arena can then be further developed and adopted to suit the requirements of military and law enforcement users. Good equipment can help you win shooting competitions, and also to survive on the street or battlefield to fight another day.
Ghost The One Competition Holster
Ghost The One Competition HolsterPractical pistol competition shooting has lead to the development of holsters whose task is to both securely hold the pistol and also allow the shooter to present the pistol to the target in the least amount of time possible.
Reintroduced due to a lot of requests, Ghost The One, the first holster created by Sandro Amadini, is back on the market. With a new design and a new locking system, this holster completes the line of Ghost’s Ultimate IPSC holsters.
With the holster unlocked the pistol can be lifted cleanly
and rapidly presented to the target.
The locking system is achieved by a metal sphere in a polymer block. This holster has a specifically shaped wedge is used to secure the trigger guard of a specific model of handgun. The system provides for optimal security and speed. The lock that secures the pistol has three positions. The unlocked position allows for a rapid draw. The lock in the down position allows you to make dynamic movement and then you can disengage it as your hand closes around the grip of your pistol. The lock in the upward position is useful when you have finished the stage and are walking to the next stage or going for a coffee. The completely adjustable barrel support bar offers support for all barrel lengths. The belt attachment is the same as that found on the Super Ghost Ultimate and Stinger holsters.
The length adjustable barrel support bar can be adjusted to suit the length of your barrel.
The Ghost The One holster is designed to securely hold, and then present the pistol to the target in the shortest time possible. This rig offers you a positive locking mechanism to keep the pistol securely in the holster. The rig also is a lightweight design that will not weigh you down an already heavy gun belt.
The three position lock in the vertical position is useful you have finished
the stage and are walking to the next stage or going for a coffee.
This holster is designed in several different configurations to suit various makes of pistol. It has a black carbon fibre body and is attached to your belt by tightening down on four hex head bolts. The holster comes complete with an instructional, with which to attach the holster to your belt and also to adjust its height and angle of rake.
The holster can be attached to a belt that is no more than 37 mm ( 1.5 inches ). The holster is then adjusted into a position to suit the user by loosening the various locking screws. Remember to retighten them all after you have finished making your adjustments. In the holstered position the pistol should not be pointing at your leg or foot. The holster is adjustable in tilt, height and distance from your body to achieve the perfect position for the user.
The angle of rake of the pistol can be adjusted to suit the needs of the user.
With the rig unlocked the pistol can be lifted cleanly and presented to the target. I tried some rapid turns and jumps and disengaged the locking mechanism to draw when I had completed these movements. The pistol is securely locked in the holster when it needs to be and can then be presented in a quick smooth draw upon demand. As well as being used with bullet firing pistols the Ghost The One can also be used with air soft pistols. Practice, training and familiarity are mandatory with the use of this or any other holster. Do not use a loaded pistol during this training and familiarity period. Practice with an unloaded pistol until you are completely competent in its safe use. Over the past few years I have tested Ghost holsters using various CZ, Glock, Grand Power, Sphinx and STI pistols and Smith and Wesson revolvers. Like the other models of Ghost holsters, the Ghost The One will see wide spread acceptance with competitive target shooters.
The belt hanger is the same that is used on the Ghost Stinger and Ultimate holsters.
