Retention, in plain terms

Match the holster to the assignment

The single most misunderstood duty-gear decision. Here's the whole ladder.
LEVEL I

Passive / friction

Holds by fit and tension. Fast, concealable — the standard for plainclothes and off-duty.

LEVEL II

One active lock

A thumb break, ALS, or grip-lock you clear on the draw. The working baseline for most uniformed carry.

LEVEL III

Two-plus active

ALS + SLS + hood. Maximum weapon retention for open-carry patrol where the gun is exposed all shift.

Why DutyHandguns

A buyer's guide that respects the job

Duty-first, not range-day

Every pick is judged on holster fit, light and optic support, and how it holds up worn every shift — not paper accuracy.

Live pricing, always
