The last level 3 holster was so dark I couldn't see the various retentions.. so closeup camera shots would have helped. I have no idea what you pressed or how the firearm is retained. The first three holsters were easy to see.
If I were to use a Level 1 Holster For OWB Carry; I would make sure the retention is really tight (So Tight that I would end Elbowing someone If they were standing behind me while I draw).
On The 3rd level the video didnt match the audio and im not sure how u released it but i do verbally understand the meaning of all 3 types thank u for educating my brother👏🤝
I am afraid Safariland considers friction a retention. They have released videos saying it and I just looked at the level 3 holsters on the website. The unlocking of the ALS ( Automatic locking system) and SLS ( Self locking system) is retention points on the gun, just because you used 3 steps to unlock it does not increase the hold on the gun.
I will open carry my revolver with leather snap-strap retention. The snap is on the outside of the holster. Not ideal, but better than my “plastic” friction-only holster. Open carry is dangerous, so some form of risk mitigation is required. A perp would have to think to unsnap prior to taking my weapon. YMMV
I will never, ever understand open carriers. Like the only logical explanation I can come up with is they just want the attention, they're hoping for drama to unfold or someone to call the cops so they can whip out their phones for some likes. Tactically it makes no sense. You're quite literally telling the bad guy who he needs to take out first :/
hello sir..what best holster can i used for duty as police officer i used glock 23 (mariner) with red dot n tactical light..whats best sir safariland or alpha omega holsters, thanks in advance sir..god bless
Should have reviewed the most common for civilian use in the Serpa rig. It’s smooth and slick as long as your movements are 100% coordinated. But hit the button a FRACTION of a second behind the grab and you won’t draw. I’m sure that’s the idea but the button also isn’t very precise.
Most level 2 holster are considered duty holster, you may need to find one that’s custom, if you want better retention of your holster carrying OWB to my research that I have looked at from RUclips and web searches is basically tighten down the screws but don’t over tighten it otherwise your gonna have a hard time drawing out your pistol, if you are going with a leather holster they do make that loop over the back of the pistol, for kydex it’s more so on the custom side, I don’t know personally who makes those types of holster that does that, but that type of concealed carry retention you want for an OWB that is more common for leather holster

*So what level does safariland classify a friction only holster? Do they call it a level zero holster?*
yeah
Very clear explanation, thank you!
I love that Multicam holster 🔥🤘🏽🤘🏽
Should do a video on how to disarm someone with a double retention holster
On The 3rd level the video didnt match the audio and im not sure how u released it but i do verbally understand the meaning of all 3 types thank u for educating my brother👏🤝
Great job and very clearly explained. Thanks for this.

What was the one with the hood that shoots forward with ALS button? I think thats the one I'm looking for. I want the button to send the hood forward.
What brand is the 3rd holster for the Staccato. I need a holster for the Trijicon SRO
Thanks for explaining!
Great video! Thank you!
Thank you for good information. I'm New to Safari Land holsters.

@@nukiesduke6868 The only time I open carry is on my property, not in public places. In public, it’s concealed.
@@davidcreely693I open carry an RPG

Which level of retention holster would an armed security guard company most likely require?
At least 2 I’d imagine
Excellent video!

Serpa is trash and no one uses it.
Dear lord
@@V.TrainingResearchSoldiering 🤣🤣🤣 I swear
The serpa rig is hot garbage and should really only be used as a target
Are there any level 2 retention holsters for iwb?
That’s kind of pointless imo
Hey there trying to find a holster that will fit a cz p10sc any suggestions? Having a hard time lol
Looking for a IWH for a glock 29 with a streamlight trl6 attached an you help me????? Thanks if so
Good, short video for people like me who just want to see the 3 levels in action.
Could you please teell what holster is that Lv1 retention is?
Is there a Safariland holster that is compatible with Olight LR?
It’s a shit light so probably not. Get a stream light or surefire.
What level 2 holster is that??
I was wondering the same thing
I don't really see lvl4 often
think there used to be a level 4
Yea there used to be back in the 80s 90s I own one of these for my glock22 gen3
Great video, thanks for the easy explanation.
nice
👊🏽👊🏽
Got it! Semper Fi
Just in case….
Your links are broken
Great video
none of these links work
I keep mine in my pocket....
for me, retention is the most important factor for concealed carry.
ALL THEM JOINTS TOO BIG AND BULKY
guess it works for police
The holster can't protect your gun , it is your job to protect your gun .
Do you know of a holster that is OWB level 2, but one that is not so bulky?
