This review covers Blackhawk's Omnivore and T-Series holsters, focusing on their utility and limitations. The Omnivore is presented as a universal fit option, particularly for pistols with Streamlight TLR-2 lights, suitable for range work but not recommended for serious use due to trigger access concerns. The T-Series holsters, like the one for a Glock with a TLR-7, are discussed in terms of their retention and mounting systems. A significant critique is the lack of a robust mounting ecosystem compared to competitors like Safariland, with the Module-Lock and Duty Drop/Offset platforms being deemed bulky or difficult to use. While the holsters themselves are functional, the limited mounting options hinder their overall effectiveness for serious applications.
