Holster Question for fellow LEO's

**Farva** · 25 October 2014, 18:54

To all my fellow LEO's out there, or anyone privy to the information. Does anyone know of a duty holster that accepts the inforce APL? Preferably a level 2 and preferably for a M&P but any will do. Just curious if there's any out there. I know Streamlight or surefire are the major ones holsters are made for but I love the inforce products as well.

Safariland I believe has dual use holsters that will accept both tlr and surefire x300s. They might acceot the inforce too.

Thanks voodoo I'll have to look into that!

The Safariland 6360 will. A guy at my station uses one. I am not sure if the 7360 will yet. Its supposed to have a tighter fit.

I have a Safariland 6377 for a Glock 19/23. My Glock 23 with an APL fits fine; no problems at all.

Good info guys. Thanks, I'll be looking into these

The Inforce is not authorized on my dept, but it will fit in a 6360 like Jack says.

inforce01 @browcs all the ALS holsters for x300 and M3 fit the APL. I believe Safariland has updated the WILL FIT list on their website.

...per Inforce on my IG page.

Does anyone know if it's possible to remove the hood from an ALS/SLS holsters and still have flawless function? I really prefer the ALS system (one without the hood if I'm not mistaken) but can't seem to find them in a light bearing model. I have a full size M&P 9mm with an inforce APL and I'm having trouble finding a duty holster. I'm leaning towards safari land but all the numbers and such is a little overwhelming to a safari land noob. I have zero experience with there holsters. My ideal holster would be the 6360 (I guess) with just the ALS system, low ride in the black STX hard shell finish but like I said I'm not a huge fan of the hood or bail which ever you prefer to call it ( the SLS system if I got the right)

Why would you want to remove a level of retention?

I'm just not a fan of the bail. It seems slower than just having the ALS by itself and the only configuration I can find has both. A buddy who has the holster with both systems also says he doesn't like the bail and if he had the choice he would go without and just have the thumb release of the ALS system. So I was wondering if it was possible to remove it without jeopardizing the over all function of the holster.

Did I sound like a complete idiot? Lol it makes sense in my head, just not sure I'm translating it correctly.

**Farva** · 6 February 2015, 03:30

I have a bail on a G-Code holster and I didn't like that one either. I felt like my thumb had to extend out too far to release it. Otherwise a good holster.

**MonkeyBomb** · 6 February 2015, 07:32

The hood isn't much slower than a regular snap. Buy one and practice with it. That's the key. Literally speaking you need to relearn the mechanics of drawing from the holster. Repetition and a whole lot of it starting slow doing it perfectly every time then speeding up.

I switched styles of holster after about 15 years of carrying the same one. I hated the new one with a passion but I practiced drawing it until I had darned near worn the finish off the gun. Now no issues.
