Leg Straps by Black Trident – Stability when it counts
If you search for "leg strap" at Black Trident, you'll find several variants. In this article, we explain the differences between the Black Trident Leg Strap , the Legacy Leg Strap , and the Cobra Leg Strap . For those who move quickly – and whose holster needs to remain stable.
What is a leg strap and why do you need it?
A leg strap is especially important for mid-ride holster systems . It ensures the holster stays close to your thigh , even when sprinting, taking cover, or moving quickly. It can also improve stability and control when drawing your weapon.
Black Trident Leg Strap – The all-rounder
Our standard model comes with a plastic buckle and a siliconized rubber lining on the inside to prevent slipping. Particularly helpful:
- For tactical pants with smooth fabric
- When worn over leggings (e.g. for female shooters)
- If you want to wear your holster tightly but not intrusively
The strap is adjustable in length and can be quickly adjusted – perfect for training and use.
Legacy Leg Strap – For more girth and comfort
Those with a larger thigh circumference – whether due to training, body type, or additional layers of clothing – will be better served with the Legacy Leg Strap . This version is slightly longer and offers more flexibility while maintaining full functionality .
For around 99.5% of all users, the standard version is sufficient – but for everyone else there is the legacy model.
Assembly & Compatibility
All Black Trident leg straps are designed to be seamlessly integrated with our holsters . They can be threaded directly through loops or connected via mounting interfaces. When putting on the strap, make sure it sits flat and close to your body —firm enough for stability, but without restricting movement.
Conclusion
A leg strap is a small detail – but it has a big impact. It provides more stability when drawing, less movement while running, and an overall more professional setup . Whether standard or legacy: If you want your holster to fit securely, there's no way around it.
