Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 retention holsters?
A Level 1 holster relies solely on passive retention — typically friction or a molded fit — to hold the firearm in place. The Rapid Force Level 2 holster adds an active retention device, in this case a thumb-swipe mechanism, that must be deliberately disengaged before the firearm can be drawn. This extra layer of security significantly reduces the risk of weapon retention loss in physical confrontations, making Level 2 holsters the standard for on-duty law enforcement and security professionals.
Will this holster fit my Glock 19 if I have a weapon-mounted light attached?
Yes — the Rapid Force L2 OWB holster is designed to be compact light compatible. It is engineered to accommodate popular compact weapon-mounted lights on the Glock 19 and 19X rail. However, fitment can vary depending on the specific light model. We recommend confirming your exact light model with our team at Goodland Guns before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.
Is the Rapid Force Level 2 holster suitable for concealed carry?
This holster is designed primarily as an OWB (outside-the-waistband) duty holster, which means it rides on the exterior of the belt rather than inside the waistband. While concealment is possible under a covering garment such as a jacket or loose shirt, it is not optimized for deep concealment. If your primary goal is everyday concealed carry, an IWB holster may be a better fit. For open carry, range use, competition, or duty applications, this Level 2 OWB holster excels.
