This is a significant upgrade from the Level II holster I was using before. The locking mechanism is secure but does not hinder draw speed. Fit and finish is top quality and works great with the QLS system. Highly recommended.

5/5 stars. Easily. Running a G17.5/x300. The retention is spot on. Very secure and locked in, no play or rattling whatsoever. Trigger is well protected, with zero concerns of anything finding its way into the trigger/trigger guard. The real amazing part is the button press. The button press is so smooth and quick. Zero limitation on draw speed. Love the oversized goose neck button, works extremely well in very cold temps while wearing gloves and dealing with limited dexterity. No hunting for a nub, just press and you are clearing retention lightning fast. Your thumb just naturally lands where it’s needed. You can get a great grip with proper finger index on the firearm without any sort of interference from extra material. The holster is built rock solid, and I appreciate the thicker kydex. There’s ZERO reason to hesitate buying one. This was very very much worth the wait, and seeing the effort and design cues that went into the holster to make sure it was correct and functions as flawlessly as it does, I can appreciate the time it took. Every one of my CCWs lives in an ANR holster, and with the Level II now available, there’s no reason to go anywhere else for a holster. Just order the holster already, there’s not enough good things to say.
