FAQ

Q: What is Level II retention?
A: Level II retention means the holster has an active retention device (in addition to passive friction) that mechanically locks your launcher in place. You must depress a button to release the retention and draw. This prevents unauthorized access, accidental drops, and ensures your launcher stays secure during physical activity.

Q: Can I use this holster with a light or laser attached?
A: No. The Level II Holster is designed for Byrna launchers WITHOUT any accessories attached. You must remove all lights, lasers, and rail accessories before holstering. This ensures proper fit and retention.

Q: Does this holster fit the Byrna CL?
A: No. The Level II Holster is NOT compatible with the Byrna CL (Compact Launcher). It fits all other Byrna pistol-style launchers (SD, LE, EP, HD, SDXL, HDXL, Hi Viz) without accessories.

Q: Can I use this for concealed carry?
A: The Level II Holster is designed for OWB (outside-the-waistband) open carry, not concealed carry. The Kydex hard shell and paddle attachment make it less suitable for concealment. For concealed carry, consider the Byrna Nylon Holster which is designed for IWB carry.

Q: How do I draw from a Level II holster?
A: As you grip your launcher to draw, use your trigger finger to depress the retention button. This releases the trigger guard lock and allows a smooth draw. With practice, this becomes a natural, fluid motion that's just as fast as drawing from a passive retention holster.

Q: What's included with the holster?
A: The Level II Holster includes the Kydex holster body and the paddle attachment. The Belt Clip and MOLLE adapter are sold separately as optional upgrades.

Q: Can I adjust the carry angle?
A: Yes! The Level II Holster features micro-adjustable cant, allowing you to customize the carry angle to match your preferred draw style and body type. Adjust from vertical to forward cant or reverse cant.

Q: Is this holster durable?
A: Absolutely! The Kydex hard-shell construction is extremely durable and weather-resistant. It withstands rain, snow, heat, cold, and physical abuse. This is a professional-grade holster built to last for years of duty use.

Q: Which Byrna models does this holster fit?
A: The Level II Holster fits all Byrna pistol-style launchers WITHOUT accessories: SD, LE, EP, HD, SDXL, HDXL, and Hi Viz. It does NOT fit the CL, TCR, Mission 4, or any launcher with accessories installed.

Q: Can I switch between paddle and belt clip?
A: Yes! The modular design allows you to switch between the included paddle attachment and the optional Belt Clip (sold separately). This lets you customize your carry method based on your needs.

Q: What's the difference between this and the Nylon Holster?
A: The Level II Holster is a professional-grade Kydex hard-shell holster with active Level II retention, designed for duty carry, law enforcement, and open carry. The Nylon Holster is a lightweight, minimalist holster with passive retention, designed for concealed carry and casual use. Level II = maximum security and durability. Nylon = lightweight concealment.

Q: Do I need Level II retention?
A: If you're doing law enforcement, security work, open carry, or any activity where weapon retention is critical, yes. Level II retention prevents unauthorized access and ensures your launcher stays secure during physical activity. For casual concealed carry or home defense, passive retention (Nylon Holster) may be sufficient.

Q: How fast can I draw from a Level II holster?
A: With practice, drawing from a Level II holster is nearly as fast as a passive retention holster. The one-button release becomes muscle memory, and you can achieve a smooth, fast draw in under 2 seconds. Law enforcement officers train with Level II holsters and achieve very fast draw times.

Q: Is the Level II Holster suitable for law enforcement?
A: Yes! The Level II Holster is professional-grade and meets the standards for law enforcement duty carry. The active retention system, durable Kydex construction, and modular design make it ideal for officers and security professionals.

Q: Can I attach this holster to a MOLLE vest?
A: Yes, with the optional MOLLE adapter (sold separately). The modular design allows you to attach the holster to tactical vests, plate carriers, or any MOLLE-compatible gear.

Q: What is the paddle attachment?
A: The paddle attachment is a curved piece that slides inside your waistband and hooks over your belt. It allows quick on/off without removing your belt and provides comfortable all-day wear. The paddle is included with the holster.

Q: Will this holster work with the Byrna ProFiber Top Cover Slide?
A: No. The Level II Holster is NOT compatible with the Byrna ProFiber Top Cover Slide. The holster is designed for standard Byrna launchers without modifications or accessories.
