I am in need of a new duty weapon and I have decided on the HK 45 but I have an issue. I can’t seem to find any level 3 duty holsters for the HK45 w/ surefire x300 attached. Does anyone here carry the 45 on duty and if so what holster do you use. Any help is greatly appreciated.
A little but of back story my issued glock 21 failed me and I will NEVER carry another glock 45. ( I can’t discuss the specifics but I will say it could have ended real bad for me and thankfully all is ok. Just another reason why I always carry a BUG.)
I have been carrying a 1911 since my glock failed but have decided I really don’t want to beat up a 3k 1911 on duty everyday.
I have found a level 2 holster but I can’t find a level 3.
Anyone know if one is made?
This. It’s my understanding that Safariland makes a level 3 light holster for the P30l and it fits the HK45. Call Safariland direct, they are very helpful.
definitely just give Safariland a call, they can hook you up. That’s all I have ever used on duty or that was approved by the departments I have worked for. I have never had an issue with their products. and I can only recall one officer ever having a problem and that was due to him not checking the screws on the holster every once in awhile.
Thanks for all the help.
One other question- What type of closed top mag pouch will work with the HK45?
I called safariland and the lady wasn’t sure they made one. Said she would look into it and get back to me next week.
Safariland 6280-3930-131 is what I have. It’s Level 2, but if you add a hood, you’re Level 3. I use mine for a P30L with X300, but the tag on the bag it came in says “HK45 Cocked and Locked w/X300”.
In my earlier post, I think I meant to say hood guard. My holster already has a rotating hood that makes it Level 2. I believe the hood guard would make it Level 3.
COLT6933, in answer to your question, neither. My P30L is LEM, but I can see that the hood height would permit cocked and locked. I’ve heard that “shorter” hoods could be installed, which I’d like to do, since my hood has a gap above the trigger about 0.5 inches higher than I’d like.
