Retention levels explained
Duty holsters are rated by retention level — how many independent actions are required to draw the firearm. For a deeper breakdown see our guide on holster retention explained.
| Level | Retention | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Passive only | Concealed carry (IWB / appendix) |
| Level 2 | Passive + 1 active lock | Open carry, security duty |
| Level 3 | Passive + 2 active locks | Law enforcement duty |
Who buys duty holsters
Level 2 and Level 3 holsters serve police departments, private security firms, armored-car operators and tactical gear brands that need weapon retention beyond passive friction. They pair naturally with full-size service pistols — Glock 17/19, SIG P320, Beretta 92, S&W M&P — often with weapon lights attached. Offering a duty line alongside concealed-carry IWB expands your catalog into higher-ASP institutional sales.
