"Love the finish of this holster. Its very well made, doesn't feel cheap and has a good weight to it. I like the ease of the thumb locking mechanism. The craftsmanship on the is over all great, I've had it for about 2 months and have not had any issues with it. Super fast delivery, righteous buy!"

"The Valor Duty Holster is an absolute tank. It’s a little heftier than a Safariland, but it makes up for it with a lot of features. Price wise, it’s right in the same ballpark, but you get more versatility. My holster fits my Gen 3–5 Glocks with my weapon lights Modlite, Surefire it’s says it can hold almost all of the weapons lights on the market when you use that one holster. If you have a G34, threaded barrel, or comp? You can just add the extender and keep rolling with the same holster. I went with the Level 1, but I wasn’t a fan of the factory release button. But I ended up watching a Milspec MOJO’s 2026 gear breakdown when I seen he had one and like myself wasn’t a fan of the release button and he went on to say that NUB had a release button and it totally changed how it feels. So I ordered one but before I did I realized that NUB says it’s for a Level 2 but it didn’t deter me because I know a very competent gunsmith. So I had Mitch at Shooters World in The Villages retrofit a NUB Level 2 and add some skateboard tape. Took him about 5 minutes, and it completely changed the holster. The draw is smoother, faster, and way more natural. I personally feel that it’s worth it, I’m very confident you will benefit from it as well. I also really like that you can adjust the cant and really tailor the setup to your preference. Again It’s not a cheap holster, but the flexibility is hard to beat. At this point, it has become my go-to duty holster. All in all I hope this helps you some. I use this holster on duty when I transport prisoners. I would like for them to design one for a STACCATO HD P4 & 4. 5 šš¾š„"

"The holster is rugged and durable. Solid and comp t at the same time. Great option the extender for compensator. A real modular holster. Tek lock ring is way more robust then any other holster I tried. Very happy with this product. Next time I’ll buy level 1 for really fast draw."

"I bought 2 Valor Duty holsters for our new Gen 6 Glocks. The holsters are amazing. Compared to our old Safariland holsters. These are much better quality."

"Great holster. Level 1 Retention is great. Quality is great. Went with 1/4” offset and that is highly recommended. 360 disk is easy to set angle"
— James T. (5/5)
"GREAT Fit, Very spacious and customizable. Holster is large and a bit heavier than others I have used and seen. I would still recommend due to it's versatility of fitting lights and optics. I am ordering another one for a different weapon system. Thank you BladeTech."

"I got this for the smith & wesson M&P 2. 0 10mm performance center. With the extended end cap it covers the muzzle. It also locks up perfectly with a tlr1 hpx, zero wiggle or play."

"Very sturdy and a good blend of speed and retention. This’ll easily replace my Safarilands and is also able to use the safariland QLS system that I have a plethora of until overtime I replace it with the blade tech system. I have a radian comp on one of my handguns and it fits and draws without trouble."
— Luke T. (5/5)
"Excellent holster probably the best holster I have ever purchased being that I have only used Safariland holsters for most of my career. I was going to wait to purchase another one for my PDP Pro X (full size) but hesitant due to size and weight (unsure but very interested)."
— Eugene L. (5/5)
"A cut above the rest. I ran this holster through a demanding weapon retention course and saw firsthand how other competitors’ gear failed under pressure during intense, real-world evolutions. This holster held up without issue and performed exactly when it mattered most. I trust it completely."
