"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 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 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 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 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 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."

"I got a holster for a sig, it has great quality looks like its been built to last. I got a level 3 but it seems easy to swap the hood. Ive been wearing it on duty for the last 2 weeks, been practicing draw and dry fire to get used to it and so far ive liked how smooth it goes in and out of the hoster. I might get an additional for the glock model."

"Upon arriving, I checked fitment with three different 9mm full double stack frames. My Glock 19, Glock 34, and Nomad Defense custom G47 style all fit. All three fit with a Surefire X300U, or a Streamlight TLR-1 HL-X. It is a little tighter on the Streamlight when it is on the Nomad Defense, but still draws and reholsters when your movements have a little authority behind them. The motions are very intuitive. Not much different than a Safariland Level 3. But the lock-up is tighter. No play or movement. The build is better than SL as well. The Valor is much sturdier. No flex to the sides. I like the open bottom, mainly to allow brass that falls in to easily egress out the bottom. This is particularly important to teams guys. I was a member of my previous LE Agency's SWAT Team, and I have had brass fall in and cause issues during training. If I decide to try out for my current agency's SWAT Team, this will definitely be the holster I use. I would pick one up for regular duty use, but we are requires to have Gloss Black equipment. The mounting will take some getting used to, but it is infinitely more adjustable than the QLS system I have used for many years. But once set, you can kind if forget about it. All in all, it seems like this will be the gold standard for duty holsters. It fixes many issues with the SL system. I will probably get another one to use with my Sig P320s. (Yes I still use them, I don't buy into all of the stuff online about the 320s). If I go to another LE Agency that has more leeway with equipment, I will probably get another one in black for regular duty use. These will probably replace my Safariland holsters over the next few years. (Ignore the mess in my office, it is my equipment room so it pretty much stays messy)"

"Awesome holster! When I took it out of the box, I was amazed by the quality of the material and craftsmanship. The holster is extremely easy to use (with practice). The only thing that disappointed me was that there was no option for a handgun with the Radian Ramjet compensator. As technology and products evolve, so should your holsters. You have an amazing product—why not make it available to all customers, no matter what modifications they have on their firearms?"
— Victor V. (5/5)
"I like most have a box full of holsters claiming to be the best but end up being a disappointment. I’m extremely satisfied with my Valor Duty Holster. The high-quality construction and wrap, superior design, secure firearms fit, and a large variety of accessories make it the leader in the marketplace."
