Kydex Retention Systems Not Recommended
This video strongly advises against using Kydex-only holsters without a Level III retention system for duty belt setups, drawing on 12 years of active duty infantry experience. The instructor emphasizes that while Kydex holsters are suitable for concealed carry or flat range use, duty applications require a hood and thumb release to prevent accidental firearm loss during physical activity, vehicle egress, or combat scenarios. The video highlights the importance of training with these retention systems to ensure quick and reliable access when needed.
