Radios and pagers are essential in modern law enforcement, allowing police officers to communicate with each other, to respond quickly to incidents, and to call for backup. Radio and pager holders provide secure storage for this essential communications equipment. This section also includes other carriers for communications gear, including epaulet microphone carriers and cell phone holsters. Our selection includes designs from some of the world’s finest manufacturers of tactical equipment, including Safariland, DeSantis, Bianchi, Blackhawk and others.
Most radio holders are universal, allowing them to hold any radio design within a particular set of dimensions. Typically these are low coverage designs with open tops, allowing them to accommodate radios of different heights. Some feature molded pockets, while others are made up entirely of adjustable straps, giving them even more adjustability. The radio is usually held down inside the pouch by an adjustable strap with a side release buckle or a bungee cord secured with a snap fastening, improving retention while also fitting various sizes of communications equipment and accommodating an antenna. Higher-coverage designs are also available, typically designed for radios or cellphones within a much narrower range of sizes. These provide increased protection for the delicate electronics, although they are not as versatile as universal designs.
Most radio and pager holders are designed to clip or slide onto a standard duty belt for convenient waist-level carry. Some feature swivel mounts in order to allow a custom carry angle. Styles that attach to MOLLE webbing or other webbing types are also popular, due to their compatible with a wide range of vests and other tactical equipment, allowing them to be used as part of a modular carrying solution. Like other duty equipment, radio holders are almost always made from a tough material like leather, ballistic nylon or Cordura.
