Frequently Asked Questions
Will this holster fit Glock 17 models with a rail or aftermarket light attached?
The standard T-Series L2C for the Glock 17 is designed to fit the base model without a weapon-mounted light or laser. BLACKHAWK offers separate T-Series variants specifically cut to accommodate popular lights such as the Streamlight TLR-1 and SureFire X300. If you run a light on your Glock 17, check the light-bearing version of this holster before purchasing.
How does the Level 2 retention system work on the T-Series L2C?
The T-Series L2C uses an index-finger-activated retention hood that must be deliberately disengaged during the draw stroke. This active retention mechanism prevents the firearm from being removed by anyone other than the trained user, while still allowing a fast, natural draw with proper technique. The low-friction interior ensures the pistol clears the holster smoothly once the retention is released.
Can this holster be used for both open carry and duty carry?
Yes. The BLACKHAWK T-Series L2C is a popular choice for uniformed duty carry, range training, and open carry. Its OWB design and robust retention make it well-suited for active environments where security of the firearm is paramount. It is not optimized for concealed carry under a garment due to its external profile and retention hood design.
