Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Alien Gear Level II Rapid Force Duty Holster a Level II holster?

It's classified as a Level II holster because it incorporates two distinct stages of retention. This means a user must perform two separate actions to successfully draw their weapon from the holster, enhancing security.

The holster is designed to be as intuitive as their Level III models. Your hand naturally lands in a master grip, with your thumb positioned on the retention swipe, creating a single, fluid motion for drawing the weapon.

What safety features are integrated into the Alien Gear Level II holster?

A key safety feature is the reduced trigger guard gap, making it very difficult for anything other than the intended draw to interfere with the trigger. This design prevents accidental discharges.

How does the holster accommodate the AXON Signal Sidearm device?

The holster has a specific cut-out over the slide for optimal signal transmission from the AXON device. It also includes a protective cover with a hole for programming and a window to view the device's status indicator light.
