Reviews
I’m extremely happy and with
"I’m extremely happy and with my new Blade Tech Valor! I’ve been using a Safariland holster on duty for decades and was nervous to switch to a new holster system fearing I’d have to completely retrain my draw stroke but I’ve actually found that the Valor is smoother and has less play in it than my Safariland. The Tech Mount allows you to position the holder with the exact amount of cant to make your draw comfortable and efficient and I was really impressed by how secure the whole system is on my belt. I had a friend yank on it to test it and it’s rock solid. I also love the how quickly I can swap out holsters if I want to run another handgun. Less importantly but still notable: the holster looks absolutely incredible and I’ve had several people at the range and my local shop ask me about it. I highly recommend the Blade Tech Valor!"

The retention is amazing, the
"The retention is amazing, the tek mount system that allows me to rotate the angle of draw is a huge plus and it feels extremely durable and high quality. It’s hard to find a good holster that can fit most light options. I use a TLR7 and the holster fits it just fine. I’m gonna switch everything to tek mount because of this holster. Safariland used to be my go to, but now I can use any of the light options I have instead of being limited. And this holster just feels way better quality than Safariland. It’s easy to take off or change the accessories on the holster. Huge win for Bladetech."

As a longtime Safariland customer
"As a longtime Safariland customer I decided to try the new BladeTech Valor and wow! Outstanding customer service, received it within about a week and it is very impressive. Easy to holster than Safariland… the triple retention system is very easy to master and my draw feels faster than it did in my Safariland. LE User."

Great holster, finish is great
"Great holster, finish is great and the retention system is very intuitive. Easy to quick release / swap and nice to be able to use different angles dependent on seated or standing position. So far no visible wear, time will tell on this :) 10/10, will probably buy another"

The build quality of this
"The build quality of this holster is excellent, and Blade Tech’s disc system is probably the best QD setup on the market. The only reasons it is not five stars are the thumb release and the tightness of the holster. The release is an easy fix with an OT nub mod. It would be an easy fix on the front end already have something similar to it installed, making the thumb release taller and wider. In terms of fitment, it secures the firearm very well, but I would like to see it just a little looser. The draw is just a little slow due to this."

Holster feels sturdy and very
"Holster feels sturdy and very well made. Button is easy to operate, I would recommend the nub mod though it makes the holster so much better. And the tek mount disc is so nice."

This holster was a pleasant
"This holster was a pleasant surprise and is one of the few companies that make a level III holster for my Walther PDP Pro E. The firearm fits like a glove with no wiggle or rattling like other holsters on the market. I will be upgrading to the TEK-Mount system to change out holsters for different firearms. I am extremely happy with this purchase."

Needed a duty holster for
"Needed a duty holster for my G45. I have a safariland but wanted something different. I am so glad I made the choice to get the Valor. In my opinion this blows the safariland out of the water. There is zero play between the firearm and holster. It's incredibly solid and well built and just looks better. I got the lvl2 and the draw is so clean and easy. I would absolutely recommend this over safariland."

The holster design is absolutely
"The holster design is absolutely incredible. How they have it individually to the weapon means you can change the optic and light configuration. I added three different lights and they all worked in it. Two different optic dies and all I did was swap the hood. This is absolutely the best option if they have it for your weapon system."
