Collection: Level 2 Glock Holsters for Duty and Tactical Carry

A Level 2 Glock holster includes passive friction retention and an active thumb-activated release mechanism. The Rapid Force model uses a secure Auto-Lock system that engages at the ejection port and releases smoothly with a natural upward thumb swipe—ensuring both retention and speed in a high-stress environment.

Rapid Force Level 2 holsters are built for duty-sized Glocks like the Glock 17, Glock 19, Glock 19X, Glock 45, and others. Light-bearing variants also support Glock pistols equipped with Streamlight TLR-1 or SureFire X300 weapon lights.

This holster is optimized for open carry, particularly for uniformed professionals, law enforcement officers, and tactical users. The size, retention system, and mounting options make it ideal for duty belts and external rigs—not concealed carry.

Yes. There are models built specifically for Glock pistols with popular lights like the TLR-1 and X300. These versions maintain the same retention integrity while accommodating the dimensions of a light-bearing firearm.

Unlike basic OWB holsters that rely solely on friction, this duty-grade Glock holster offers dual retention, light compatibility, quick draw capability, and modular mounting with the QDS (Quick Disconnect System). It’s engineered for performance under extreme conditions.

Absolutely. The locking retention system ensures your Glock remains secure during foot pursuits, vehicle operations, and physical altercations. It prevents unintentional dislodging while allowing rapid access when needed.

Yes. The Rapid Force Glock holsters support multiple mounting options—belt slide, paddle mount, MOLLE, or drop-leg—via the Quick Disconnect System. You can easily switch between platforms without tools.

The holster features an ergonomic design that positions the firearm at a slight forward cant for intuitive grip access. The thumb swipe release lets users draw their Glock smoothly without compromising the grip.

While it excels in uniformed settings, its size and retention system may be bulkier for off-duty or civilian concealed carry. Alien Gear offers other low-profile or IWB options better suited for discreet carry scenarios.

A Level 2 Glock holster includes two retention methods (friction and thumb release), while Level 3 adds a third layer—typically an additional lock or hood. The Level 2 Rapid Force provides an ideal balance for most field applications where speed and retention must coexist.
