Mod-U-Lok/Gladius Demonstration Video

I just shot this video of myself removing and replacing my Gladius from and into its Mod-U-Lok holster. I removed the retention strap, because it's unnecessary. If the holster becomes very weak over time, I'll consider using the strap again. If the clip is too poorly lit, I can reshoot it if necessary.

Enjoy!

Apparently so. It mostly happened before I was born, so I'm not too familiar with He-Man lore. I mean, of course I've heard of He-Man, and my older sister had a She-Ra doll at some point, but I'm not really... I haven't... no.

I made the video to show people what the Mod-U-Lok holster is like. I had no He-Man-related intentions.

So, has anyone found the video to be useful? I found that the holster was very stiff to start out with, but as I practiced, I noticed that it has gotten significantly easier and more natural to get the Gladius in and out of the Mod-U-Lok.

P.S.:

So, you're saying that you don't have the power of Greyskull? :huh2:

Hey, what's up with the annoying audio on your clip? Thanks for the vid, I think it illustrates the death-grip that the holster has on the Gladius.

I am not a super-snazzy photographer-man! Just as my mom was saying good night to me (my parents sleep before I do), I asked her to shoot the video. It took about two minutes. If you want, you can always just turn the sound off...

I might actually reshoot the video, as I've noticed that the holster has loosened slightly. I have re-attached the rubber retention strap. I also got an FM34 today (YES...), so that's another reason for me to reshoot.

I DO hold the power of Greyskull!... Or, I would, if the store had had them when I was a kid. I asked my mom to get me the cool Greyskull staff, but all they had was the electronic He-Man sword. It lasted until "house-guests" ( ) started bashing each other with it. It wasn't meant to handle that, and it broke in two. That's a pretty sad memory there...

Thanks for the clip. I've been using the Blackhawk pouch but I'm considering the Mod-U-Lock. That shed some light on its use/deployment.

I'm glad you found it useful. Does anyone want me to reshoot it with a bezel-up Gladius and FM34?

Yes that would be great. just about to order a FM34 and dont want to break anything . How do you like you FM34. from what i understand havingit it like the best of both worlds!

Thanks

@tigerhawk - thanks for the video. im expecting my gladius tomorrow. unfortunately steve forgot to put the mod-u-lok on package. so ill be expecting that in a few days.

Do a search on "gladius fm34 latch" and you'll find some good info. Start with the FM34 slightly out of rotational alignment. Twist it slightly as you slide it into place. Ideally, it'll be lined up (according to your personal preference) when it's on all the way. Don't linger while you close the latch - its most stressed point is when it's ALMOST closed, not fully closed.

I'm glad you liked the video. Having successfully installed the FM34, I would prefer not to uninstall it and then film its reinstallation.

However, I'd be glad to make a video of a Gladius with FM34 being placed into and removed from a Mod-U-Lok.
