The perfect piece of merchandise for a country with gun laws so strict they make the most liberal state in America look like the Wild West!

Seriously though, they MUST have their overseas fans in mind with this one.

Airsoft is big in Japan, and they can always put replicas in them or use them for cosplay.

Actually their are Otaku gun collectors who love replicas or airsoft who spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars who will eat this up.

Only downside is they haven't mentioned which H&K USP pistol this holster is for. The anime the best detailed shot from the directors cut showed it to be a 40 SW. Also the 9mm version is the same dimensions.

But the 45 ACP version is a little bigger and would not work for the other two and vice versa.

Plus the fact that the Miami style shoulder holster is not ideal for carrying concealed unless you are wearing a coat or jacket.

The fact that this costs twice as much as REAL custom hand-crafted holder is [expletive] absurd.

And real holsters have to actually WORK, not just look good.
