In this interview by Q-Airsoft, Kelly "Femme Fatale Airsoft", a long-time content creator and self-described "part of the furniture" in the community, discusses her role as a brand ambassador for Deadly Customs. This UK-based company specializes in Kydex holsters and soft goods, all handmade in Leicester. The brand started when the founder, Alex, won a pistol in a raffle but couldn't find a holster to fit it with his torch attached, leading him to watch YouTube tutorials and eventually quit his corporate job to make gear full-time.
One of the more practical innovations discussed is a signature holster designed to fit over 150 different pistol models, provided they use the same tactical light. While German players face some restrictions on functional weapon lights, the gear remains popular for its versatility and handmade quality. They also dive into the world of grenade holsters, noting that while the UK team is still working on a version for the larger smoke grenades, they have most other sizes covered for those who enjoy carrying a small arsenal onto the field.
The conversation touches on the logistical fun of shipping to the EU after Brexit, with Kelly confirming that they still send packages to Germany regularly despite the extra paperwork. Looking ahead, the company plans to expand its ecosystem of gear, including modular placards and belts that cater to players of all sizes. The interview wraps up with a friendly exchange, proving that even in a sport about simulated combat, everyone is really just there to talk about fancy plastic pockets and velcro.
