Top 3 Best Holster for cops

Honestly, I think the only thing worse than being shot in the line of duty is being shot with your own weapon. While not all assignments involve the use of a firearm, most police officers have developed the habit of bringing at least one handgun or other police gears into the mix. This is why the use of a holster cannot be overemphasized.

Here are the top 3 best holsters for cops:

• BlackHawk Epoch

Do not be fooled by its sleek look, the Black Hawk Epoch is specifically designed to work with popular weapon lights such as the Streamlight TLR-1 and the SureFire X300.

The BlackHawk Epoch holster is built with an internal locking feature that hooks on the ejection port for a high degree of grab resistance. To increase the support of the holster, the holster uses a Pivot Guard that covers the back of the slide. When released, the Pivot Guard springs out of the way and will not accidentally snap back to prevent reholstering of the firearm.

• Black Hawk SERPA

Yes, another BlackHawk duty holster, but the SERPA is different. For starters, it comes with an Auto Lock automatically locks a gun in and prevents its removal until the SERPA release is activated. The holsters use a Pivot Guard to lock the gun in at a second point. Even with both features engaged, an officer can draw the duty gun quickly.

The best part about this holster is that it is available for most carried duty pistols. The SERPA holster is also able to accommodate the Night-Ops Xiphos weapon light.

• Blade-Tech WRS

Best suited for high-quality concealment and competition holsters, Blade-Tech also offers top-notch duty holsters. The Blade WRS Level 3 offers a natural draw that is not disrupted by the needless complexities of police gears. Using the company’s Tactical Modular Mount System, an officer can move the WRS holster from a duty belt to a tactical vest or thigh rig without the need to remove the pistol.
