Rated 2 out of 5 by JWFB from Needs improvmentIt is difficult to take in and out of the hostler if you are using a larger lithium ion battery/ radio clip. With the smaller lithium battery/or battery clam shell seems to work a little smoother. I think the first design on the new KNG radio hosteler had more space and was more universal to all types of radio/ battery configurations.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from This IS the one!As a BK radio dealer and a firefighter, I have been looking for a good pouch or case for the KNG portable radios, and this IS IT! This case is easy to use, looks good and most importantly, protects the radio. This is the case I will promote to all my customers. So if you need a new BK radio, accessories or radio service, come to us, but if you need a case for your KNG, come to Mystery Ranch!

Rated 4 out of 5 by truck from Solid HolsterThis has been the best holster for the KNG radio (I've tried 4 different kinds). While it starts off kinda stiff, and particularly snug if you have the belt clip on the back of your battery, it has held up really well over the 2 years I've had it going on my pack. The elastic band has held up great, and I've never had an issue with losing my radio. Also, you can attach a mic to the radio and it still fits in the holster. Checks all the boxes. Mole webbing is kind of a pain in the butt to install, but once you get the hang of one, you can do that pretty quick.

Rated 5 out of 5 by FIRE205 from Highest qualityI use mystery ranch packs and accessories for hunting big game and fighting wildfires across the country. I couldn’t be happier with the product they produce. The attention to detail and the pure quality in materials and how it’s made is first class all the way

Rated 2 out of 5 by Not important from Needs to be improvedThese new pouches are more compatible the newer packs. Some of use are still rocking older models and the waist belt aren’t necessarily MOLLE webbing. Therefore making it a pain in the butt to attach. I’ve had to cut into the webbing that is there to be able to attach it. It would be nice if you made an option for these radio pouches to have the a bigger loop to attach with a buckle like older version of the talk box pouch for the BK.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Shai from Perfect!Added this baby to my rigging belt and once I strap the walkie down with the easy pull/latch tab I can forget about the walkie entirely. In any and all directions your walkie will remain in place and not slip. The extremely ridged construction makes so you’re never pressing the talk/call buttons or switching channels/volume accidentally. And you can pull your surveillance out with ease when taking off your belt without pulling the walkie out of the holster.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Rangerscott from Would Like Attachment OptionsI have used this now for two months. Great quality. Two issues:1) It would be nice if the holder could be adaptable so it could be mounted at an angle vs straight up or horizontal. 2) My BK radio fits well but the over the top strap is really tight. So tight I stopped using it before the attachment knob pulled out. I would like to use it b/c I have it mounted on the Hot Radio Rig in a horizontal position and the radio has slipped out a few times.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SHR421 from Easy install and perfect functionalityI purchased this to go on my Mystery Ranch Hotshot TL. Before I had a bulky chest harness and it was way too hot and added weight for no reason. After installing and using on several Initial attack fires this is definitely worth the money. I stay cooler and the Radio stays tucked safely and out of the way while using hand tools or crawling through the dense pocosoin of eastern North Carolina to size up a fire. I definitely reccomend.
