Level 2 Retention Holsters – Duty, Tactical, IWB & Concealed

Level 2 holsters provide the ideal balance between weapon security and fast, natural draw. Each model combines two retention systems – a passive trigger guard lock plus an active mechanism such as our Safety Retention Hood (SRH) or Safety Retention System (SRS). This dual setup helps prevent unauthorized weapon grabs while allowing a quick thumb release when seconds matter.

Built for Professional Duty & Tactical Use

Engineered for law enforcement, tactical teams, corrections and armed security, our Level 2 retention holsters support multiple carry setups:

Duty Level 2 holsters – mid-ride and low-ride for patrol and uniformed officers.
Tactical Level 2 holsters – modular, light/RDS-ready, ideal for field and SWAT work.
Concealed / IWB Level 2 – slimmer builds for off-duty or discreet carry.
