Considerations & Trade-offs
- Level 2 retention adds security, but it also means the draw is more deliberate than with a simpler open-top holster.
- The included belt loop and paddle cover common carry setups, yet the holster is still limited to compatible Blackhawk platform options for broader mounting.
- The speed cut design supports a faster draw and re-holster, but it does not eliminate the need for careful practice to maintain a consistent draw stroke.
- Fit is specific to S&W M&P 9/40 and SD9/SD40 models (not Core), so compatibility should be checked closely before purchase.
