Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Alien Gear Rapid Force a Level III duty holster?

It's classified as Level III because drawing the firearm requires three distinct, sequential movements: releasing the hood with your thumb, activating the swipe lever to disengage the ejection port lock, and finally withdrawing the weapon.

How does the Alien Gear Rapid Force holster enhance trigger finger safety?

The holster is designed with a very tight trigger guard gap, significantly reducing the space between the holster and the trigger guard. This makes it extremely difficult for a finger to accidentally enter the trigger guard during a draw or while the weapon is holstered.

Can the Alien Gear Rapid Force holster accommodate optics and weapon lights?

Yes, the holster is designed to accommodate most large optics, including models like the Acro P2. It also fits a wide range of duty lights, from larger ones like the SureFire X300 and Streamlight TLR-1, down to smaller lights such as the TLR-7A.

What customization options are available for the Alien Gear Rapid Force holster?

Users can customize the holster by removing the hood if desired. Additionally, it comes with three different sizes of buttons and swipe levers, allowing for a personalized fit to individual hand size and draw stroke.

How does the holster integrate with Axon Signal Sidearm devices?

The holster features a specific cut-out over the firearm's slide, which is the densest part of the weapon, to ensure reliable signal transmission to an Axon Signal Sidearm device when the weapon is drawn. A protective, lockable cover is also available.
