Canadian Forces 82 Pattern Browning Hi Power Holster

The Canadian Forces 82 Pattern Browning Hi Power Holster was standard issue with the Canadian military’s 1982 Pattern web gear system. Designed specifically to fit the Browning Hi Power 9mm pistol, this holster features durable olive green nylon construction for practical field use.
