Reviews & Ratings for BlackHawk Universal Fit Bedside Handgun Holsters — 20 reviews — Page 1

Blackhawk has a simple and effective design on this mattress holster, contingent on a couple of factors. One factor is the mattress and box spring application. They’re not all equal, so some may lack the necessary weight and contact surfaces necessary to maintain a good grip to stay put when pulling the weapon. Non slip strips are on the product, but perhaps hook and loop combined with 6” additional length to help ensure proper anchoring and stability.

The holster portion is rugged material with simplistic tapered strap design to accommodate wide range of pistols. Several of my handguns have a fairly prominent front site and on the pull, it snags significantly. My Staccato C2 wasn’t too bad, but my CZ Shadow 2 was nearly impossible to pull and my Walther PPQ with upgraded sights requires a specific tilt motion to alleviate the “snag”. The two in the morning, dead sleep, thump in the night scenario is not a premium moment to have an access delay.

I would like to see a merger of products to fill this need. I happen to be a big fan of the neoprene pocket holsters out on the market. They are simple, minimalist, effective designs that do the job for my carry application. A neoprene pocket holster with a Velcro means to attach to a well designed mattress anchor would be optimal, IMO.

Bottom line: This Blackhawk mattress holster should work great on some applications, with the right mattress, weapon size and configuration. It will not really accommodate a weapon mounted ...

This is a LOT better then keeping your piece in a table by the bed or under the pillow. Simple, but it is what it is. Holster looks like it can hold many types of pistols, one at a time. Material also looks like it will last a long time.

I have been using my Blackhawk Bedside Holster from the first day I received it. The holster works great with my 1911, easy to reach and draw. I would also like to share that I clip my SureFire E2D Led Ultra Flashlight on to the outside of the holster with the clip inside the holster and the body of the light on the outside of the holster. I recommend this option if you are looking for quick access to both a flash light and a firearm.
I currently have a second Blackhawk Bedside Holster on order for my wife’s side of the bed.

Necessary home holster. Everyone is always concerned with the what if question while sleeping. Well this holster provides you with the safety you need. Everynight as i lay in bed i just reach to the side of the bed and remind myself i have 10rds or .45acp of protection.

It was a birthday gift for my wife. She loves it. The holster fits her XD very well and It puts her gun where it is easy to get to and easy to use if needed. I would sure recommend it for anyone who wants a place for a bedside gun.

A perfect self defense holster for night time. Now I can go to bed knowing my pistol is within my reach in bed. It's a perfect design that's held in place in between your mattress and box spring. I know if I was woken in the middle of the night I could easily find my pistol. I wasn't comfortable with keeping my pistol in my nightstand and this is the perfect answer. I would suggest anybody wanting to have their pistol near them as they sleep this is your perfect item.

The quality and price of this product are great. This makes your weapon a lot safer for bedside carry versus having it underneath a pillow, in a drawer, or underneath a mattress where an accidental discharge would probably occur. I would definitely recommend this product.

This is a very simple holster, but perfect. I tried all my pistols and they all seem to fit. Aslo, I had expected it to slide out of the mattress easily, not so with this one. It stays where you put it even when pulling the pistol out. Another great product from Blackhawk.

Easy to set up and use. Stays between my mattress and box spring nicely without shifting around. Good price, too.
Pros: Easy set-up, price

I could cut the stitching to allow for use of a handgun with a laser or light mounted, however then one without either, would slip through the holster. Buy two, they are cheap enough.
Pros: easy to install and use
Cons: doesn't hold a handgun with a light or laser
