Level III Holsters are designed for duty and tactical carry applications where increased firearm retention and security are required, while maintaining a fast and controlled draw when properly trained.
At PANOPLON, you will find Level III Duty Holsters from manufacturers such as Safariland, Alien Gear and Blade-Tech, each utilizing different active retention technologies. Popular Safariland Level III models combine the ALS® Automatic Locking System with the SLS™ rotating hood. Alien Gear RAPID FORCE® Level III combines passive retention with active release mechanisms, while the Blade-Tech VALOR® Level 3 utilizes an Ejection Port Auto-Lock, Retention Hood and additional Button Cover.
Depending on the model and firearm configuration, options are available for pistols equipped with red dot optics and weapon-mounted lights, as well as different mounting systems for Duty Belts and other equipment platforms. Mid-Ride and Low-Ride configurations, quick-release systems and modular adapters provide additional flexibility when positioning and integrating the holster into a complete duty setup.
At PANOPLON, we select and use holsters as end users ourselves, focusing on retention, ergonomics, firearm, optic and weapon-light compatibility, and proper integration with the rest of the user's tactical equipment.
