I just bought a level-3 holster. I now have every level from level-3 down covered. If you were to **open** carry what level holster would you use?

For reference the levels are as follow:

level 1: Friction retention only (this is most holsters)

level 2: Friction retention, plus one locking mechnism (A button to release)

level 3: Friction retention, plus two locking mechanisms (usually a guard for the hammer plus a button to release the gun)

@freemo Not in the UK, but I see cops with ones which have a button-down flap over it in Europe. Is that not a type you can have?

@SteelFolk Yes the flap that exists is usually one of the locking mechanisms... If that is the only lock/retention in use it would be level-2.

@freemo They look as if they are to keep the rain off the gun. If you had one here, it would be something to consider!

Follow

@SteelFolk The purpose is to protect the hammer/gun from catching on something. but there are two types, one of which isnt considered a lock/retention.
