Alien Gear Holsters® supports the mission of Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.) to bring an end to child exploitation and sex trafficking.

Post Falls, Idaho (February 2023) – Alien Gear Holsters®, designers and manufacturers of American-made holsters and firearms accessories, and the Rapid Force™ line of Level 2 and Level 3 Duty Holsters, announce a significant collaboration with Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.), a 501(c)(3) organization with a mission to permanently eradicate child sex trafficking worldwide. As part of this partnership, all O.U.R. Operation Teams will be equipped with Alien Gear Holsters’ new versatile Photon holster.

Operation Underground Railroad was founded in 2013 and brought together former CIA, past and current law enforcement, and highly skilled operatives to lead coordinated identification and extraction efforts around the world in conjunction with local law enforcement. O.U.R.’s efforts continue after rescue with assistance and aftercare, as well as providing appropriate information to assist with prosecution. O.U.R. has supported over 1,000 operations with 6,000 plus survivors recovered and 4,000 more predators taken off the streets and internet and arrested.

“Human trafficking is a global crisis, and the most vulnerable victims are children sold into slavery. Alien Gear Holsters is honored to partner with Operation Underground Railroad and bring awareness to this tragedy while supporting their efforts to save as many lives as possible,” Sandi Little, COO of Alien Gear Holsters, commented. “The Photon holster system is a perfect fit for their operatives requiring a holster that is concealable and very versatile.”

The Photon holster debuted at the 2023 SHOT Show®. Unlike other holsters currently on the market, the Photon is feature-rich and highly versatile. It is ambidextrous, IWB and OWB compatible, and is sidecar ready for the optional mag carrier. Additional features include an optic cut-out, light, threaded barrel, and high/co-witness sight compatibility. And the Photon is adjustable for cant, ride height, and retention.
