The \u003cstrong\u003eGear Keeper RT2-5530-B Low Tension SideArm Tether\u003c\/strong\u003e is a retractable safety line for securing a sidearm. The system was developed with and is used by US SWAT and military, and is intended for professional and tactical applications where loss of the weapon must be prevented.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to its \u003cstrong\u003elow retraction force of only 85 grams\u003c\/strong\u003e, the weapon is not actively pulled back. The tether follows the movement and \u003cstrong\u003eoffers a maximum extendable length of 91 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e. This keeps the sidearm accessible, while remaining connected to the user if dropped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gear Keeper RT2-5530-B is therefore a practical solution for law enforcement, police, defense, and tactical teams, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigned for tactical use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen getting in and out of a vehicle or aircraft, you want as little loose equipment as possible that could get snagged.
