Specifically designed for military and police special operations personnel, the CQD® Weapon Catch provides weapon security and retention while maintaining immediate weapon access. With your long-gun fully secured, the catch design offers security, reliability and provides the operator with a tactical advantage over the adversary. The trigger, scope, and, on some weapons the weapon’s fire/safe select lever, are protected from accidental contact. With the catch’s ability to keep the weapon close to the operator’s body, all three CQD® Weapons Catches have been proven to prevent injuries to the operator, prisoners/suspects and to teammates. CQD® Weapon Catches are designed to hold long-guns (rifles, shotguns submachine guns with or without optics), tear gas launchers, manual entry tools and other specialized weaponry.
The designs of the CQD® Mark I and II Catches allow the catches to be used in two different retention methods:

(1) Expedient “quick catch” – used for moderate physical activity or under the necessity of quick response such as controlling prisoners/suspects, hasty prisoner snatch, methodical weapons transitions, etc,

(2) Full retention mode- used when total weapon retention is needed such as when controlling non-compliant prisoners/suspects, running, fastroping, climbing, jumping, waterborne transportation, etc.

In addition to the Velcro® closure system standard on the Mark I, the Mark II is equipped with a polymer clip that allows the catch to be opened/closed quietly.

The compact Mark III Weapon Catch has been designed to offer operators a secure weapons retention capability and to require a minimum of space on the duty belt or vest. The closed configuration is compact (approximately 2 to 3 inches when stored) and streamlined. Designed with no loose straps, hooks, etc. to snag or tear, the ambidextrous catch easily attaches to gear using two ALICE clips which can be located together or separated on the users equipment. This design offers the maximum flexibility and comfort for the user. The Mark III Weapon Catch is adjustable for a customized fit and will hold long-guns, manual breaching tools, grenade launchers, etc. and is made from strong nylon and elastic. Designed to work with one or two hands, the Mark III Weapon Catch holds the weapon close and out of way yet allows quick weapon retrieval. The CQD® Mark III Weapon Catch has been proven to enhance safety for the user, for prisoners/suspects and for teammates.
