"I bought all three types of holsters at once, and they all arrived in excellent, sturdy condition. The only regret was not being able to choose a holster for staccato. I will be building my entire arsenal with these products from now on! It's the best!"

"My husband is going through LEO training so I bought this holster based on a recommendation from GWA Armory. Most of the other officers in the class have a Safariland holster, so the instructors were interested to see if they could “take his weapon” as part of training. While they could get weapon from the Safariland ones quickly, they couldn’t easily get his weapon from the holster. Great quality and the release button cover helps protect the gun even more. So glad GWA suggested this. Highly recommended!"

"Fantastic holster. Great retention, and fast draw. Fits the pistol like a glove. The retention bale could be slightly more contoured on the inside to not hit your thumb when you’re defeating the retention, but that’s a minor gripe."

"Amazing holster and worth the premium price. The fit and finish is like no kydex product out there and the Tek Mount mini system makes attachment and adjustment a breeze. Customization options are particularly great for a lefty like me."

"I recently switched duty weapons from a Gen 3 Glock G22 to a Walther PDP Pro X PMM full-size. I love the look, durability, and modularity of the level 2 Valor Holster. I've used safariland and dara holsters and the Valor is by far my favorite!"

"It’s a great holster, Forsure the most durable out of everything I’ve ever used. There is a couple cons or fixes I think the current version needs tho. 1. The push button is small and an after market button is almost a must. 2. The location of the hood/or button need to move. Countless times when preforming a draw in quick succession (sub sec draws). The web of your hand will cover the hood or add slightly retention against it resulting in the hood not opening and your firearms getting stuck. Having the do a quick push pull fixes this, but I believe moving the hood, changing the shape of the hood would fix this. Or moving the button back more towards the grip. Other than these small things, this holster is still my favorite! Definitely duty rated!"

"Searched for a holster that would work with my current set up and this is one of the few that would. Ordering was easy and the options made it exactly what I wanted but also left it open for future adjustments. Once I received it the quality was great, as is the fit with no rattle or shake which combined with an intuitive release system makes for a great product. I’d get one for each of mine if they expand their product line in the future."

"Used a different brand for over thirty years. Never thought I’d change. But this one crosses all the boxes. Give it a try you won’t regret it. ."

"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!"

"I was already impressed by the reviews on this holster, but once it showed up at my door I was sold. The versatility is what really won me over — it solves the headache of needing different holsters for essentially the same Glock platform (45, 17, 19, 47) just because of light or optic setups. I’d recommend it to anyone, whether you’re just running drills at the range or using it in a professional role like security or law enforcement. My only suggestion: grab the OTW Mod Button for faster release and smoother access. Other than that, it’s a solid product all around."
