That’s the one I posted earlier up the thread. They only make for some select firearms. They do make them for some of the most popular carry guns though.

A casual search on-line reveals that many CCW designed pistols, especially the pocket and micro types have very little type/level 2 offerings.

Most of the holsters offered are passive retention types.

Would a hammer thong or button strap make it a level 2 holster?

DIY Type 2 Holster mod

But then again what is a type 2 holster?  They don't define it in the policy and it's not a standard definition.  Maybe we'll tell them that later.  a lot later.

Just for giggles, since it's not defined, everyone write with sharpie "Type 2" on the holster. Problem solved.

Specifying "2" as a "Type" is racist and discriminatory.
Either you are segregating all of the 1 and 3 "type"  holsters or showing special preference to the "Type 2's".  :grrr:

Does sneaky Pete count as a type 2 ?
Magnetic retention.

I was a type 1 (No retention) until I got married then I became a type 2 (retention) we then had 3 more types and they are all different but all have their positives and negatives.

So what your saying is all I have to do is put a bungee cord over the backstrap or hammer (depending what gun it is) and it becomes a possible "type 2" holster?

Makes sense.   It is a secondary retention. Not the ideal draw, but it'll be good enough... Dremel/ drill some holes in the kydex. Make some knots.. Take a pull tab from one of my mag pouches and voila...

If Type 2 = Level 2 retention, then we have to look at the FACT that almost no such IWB holsters exist, or exist for a wise enough population of gun models to be feasible.

Given that FACT, it would make more sense for everyone applying for carry request approval to OPEN CARRY.

They force us to use an open carry holster, then they force us to open carry.

Seems pretty cut-and-dried to me.
