Level 2 holsters

**Blacked_Out** · 06-19-15, 18:50

So I have been thinking about getting a level 2 retention holster for training on my war belt rig. I know there are some out there but I feel like I am looking for something that doesn't exist. I want a kydex thumb break (not spring loaded hoods) for a glock 19 with x300u and rmr. With all my struggles in finding one I pose the question, is a level 2 holster necessary? I have not had a gun fall out of my open top holster but it's always on my mind which is not good. Valid concern? Do I need to relax on this? Have any of you all lost a pistol in training? Opinions please. Got any good custom options?

RCS does have that option in their custom line,:

Another option is to use a lanyard. I use a retractable one from GearKeeper one to minimize snagging.

Pardon my ignorance but I can't fine the custom line on their website. Where is it burried on the website? I already have a phantom so this would be ideal.

Your setup would be just fine in a standard RCS holster. That pull the dot strap looks like a terrible idea to me. Those things can be finicky if the little ring inside gets spun around enough to change the tension on the snap.

Thanks for the link defaultmp3. Not really keen on the rotational hoods either. The dot buttons are the farthest I want to go with mechanics. I hear you nightstalker about the buttons. I have had some old buttons on old kevlars be a real bitch. But they were real old. I assume the life of the button must be pretty long. Plus I don't need to strap it down unless I see the need. Still not 100% sold on my thought process though. Appreciate all the input guys.

Safariland is a no go for you? The hood has to be rotated. It's not spring loaded.

Norinco,

How do you like 6006 ALS guard on that rig? I personally like second layer of activation and am considering ordering it for a few of my older ALS holsters that don't have the SLS loop.
