Whoever is reading this, i pray that whatever you’re going through gets better and whatever you’re struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen
Thanks bro. I hope the same for you.
Thanks dude, I’m taking a dump right now and it’s a stubborn one
Edit: I got it out👍
Thank you bro 💯🙏🏽
Needed this man, thank you.
My guy thank you. Because am actually going through a lot right now. I have been hurting this year doing my best to provide for my house hold. And struggling with it due to work. Just dead end work. The dream is dead for me of a white fence a dog and happy family. I want change so bad that I fight myself everyday. Just seeing this comment maid me feel better.
I had two rapid force holsters before you got one. I love them. People told me I was a weirdo for using something other than the “way we’ve always done it” safariland. Then you got one and put those videos out and the same people came back and started asking me about how I liked it and if they should get one all because they saw you using it. Basically, I’m a hipster.
Lmao I had a similar thing happen. I was looking at getting the rapid force and all my buddies were telling me it's trash and to get Safariland. Then one of them went out and got the Rapid Force and was then trying to basically tell me how so much better it was and how it's way better than a safariland 😂
Always fun being ahead of the curve
Love you mojo!!!!!
So true!!!
I'm still hard from that A2 speedrun video from earlier, my guy!
Funny, cause I LOVE YOU ❤️
I never would have considered anything by Alien Gear until your first video about the Rapid Force. Impressive that they took your (and other’s) feedback and produced an updated version because I know that costs them quite a bit of money for them to do so. May have to give the Rapid Force a try!
Condition Grey is who makes the tourniquet/sling retention strap. I have a few of em & they're great. Definitely recommend.
Thank you so much; just saved me a ton of searching
8:35, that’s a game changer in the world of look at the holster/don’t look at the holster. Thank you Mojo. Keep it coming.
The TQ strap is from Gray Fighter. Great company. The are LEO’s that make stuff for LEO’s. I train and talk to them all the time.
I purchased this holster based on an earlier video you made about it. I just recently received mine as there was a 21 day wait but it finally arrived a little over a week ago. I have big hands so I had to swap to the smallest levers but once I got everything form fitted to me I’ve began to use it. So far (after getting use to the release method) I do really enjoy the holster and feel that it is very rigid and durable and it definitely has the easiest to use release to get use to. I’m still new to the holster but am putting in the time to become efficient with it. I believe in my humble opinion this holster is the standard for level 3 holsters. Thanks for the recommendation
Been running this rig for at least 2 years with ZERO ISSUES!! And that's swapping between holstering my G19 and G17 through all scenarios and terrain variables. Absolutely love and swear by this rig!!
Awesome what I was wanting thanks Mojo! Couldn't agree more about your thoughts on this holster. I could feel/notice the action of the holster break in period and I to love safariland but I love my Rapid just as much. The plant would be cool to visit i bet that was a great day. Thanks again Mojo for this vid.🤙
Thank you for showcasing this equipment and providing honest feedback based on all of your experience !
Thank you guys for your honest thoughts. A lot of people will write companies off without doing their research.
Definitely want to see the Rapid Force and the T Series holsters continue developing. Having level 2 and 3 holster options for those that don't need Safariland quality would be great.
I like this format of shows you are doing! Good job sir!
Did he find another department that would hire him?
@@ryanbolander6117 Im curious about this too, it sounded like he returned to the force when he talked about his duty belt
Rapid force has a HUGE plus with how easy it is to order even though it’s limited fitment.
You basically have to hire a translator just to order through safari land because it’s so confusing.
*Jotting notes on getting a translator.*
Yeah even to just understand their naming system, you have to go to Reddit and find a thread on it.
I beat the crowd by calling Safariland directly and talking to a human... Running a DS 1911 there was *NO WAY IN HELL* I was going to figure out what would or would not fit.
I don't know if the Gods just favored me that day or if Safariland Customer Service has improved that much, but I got exactly what I wanted in a very short time... Considering that I am a left handed shooter carrying a gun on duty that few, if any, agencies carry I felt very fortunate...the only time they have been faster than that was when I needed a holster *RIGHT NOW* for a speed-ball deployment and they sent me a 6004 rig for a my issue Beretta in less than seven days...
May the Gods smile down on you as well should you choose that option.
@@johnhermann5882 That's the same thing I did, couldn't find what I was looking for using their site, called them, they gave me a model number for what I needed, and boom
@@pdxmarine1430 It's almost as if we, as a society, have forgotten that you can actually talk to a human on a phone as well as use it to surf the internet...
Go figure.
The tourniquet strap is made by Condition Gray
Just the comment I was looking for! Thank you!
I've had my AG Duty Holster for two and a half years now, things a tank. I actually got laughed at for switching from safariland to AG. Love both products, love both companies. Thanks Mojo for branching out and testing new options and not just hopping on the bandwagon. This man is a true content creator.
After being a hardcore safariland user - I decided to try out the T Series BlackHawk Level 3 holsters - and so far its put up with all the abuse.
Thank you so much for what you do and all that you are DOING! God bless you!
Everytime I think I need a more Gucci gun, I watch this dude kill it with stock internals and trigger. 👍🔥
Thank you guys for letting me know your buddy got his G19 to fit with a large scale compensator by removing some plastic from the muzzle end of the holster, because I got the same set up and I was really worried this wouldn't work for me and I really wanted to get one. Keep on rock'n
Muthdang MilSpec MOJO! Loved this video big dog. your channel is awesome, keep killing it brother man. meeting you is on my bucket list.
I ran a safariland 6360 and the 6360 rds for years. I added a Nub from Oregon Trail Defense on the ALS lock. The optic dust cover on mine kept coming off getting in and out of a vehicle, up and down from a desk chair etc. I haven't started running this holster on duty yet but so far I am so much faster on my draw. In the first 2 range sessions using it, I was already finding it more intuitive to draw than the 6360. I was a die hard Safariland guy forever, but I'm quickly becoming a believer in this holster system.
Love my rapid force holster. Have beaten the thing and used and abused it and it’s held up great. Absolutely love it.
I bought this holster after your first review. I am loving it. Thanks, Mojo!
Did you get the level 2 or level 3 version? What kind of belt are you using with it???
@@beardly0121 I have level 3 version, I find it very intuitive to use. I am not LEO though so take it for what it's worth. I use Daltech force bull hide belt with it.
FINALLY!!! am honest down and dirty review. My duty gun is a glock 21 with tlr-1 light. we are issued a safariland holster, which i am not a fan of. I dont carry that off duty.
My off duty carry is a G45 with holosun scs and tlr-7. Trying to find a decent range holster that will fit my g-45, g-19 and g-17 without having to purchase all 3, just came down to this product. Im sure it will be a learning curve at the range.
I do appreciate you guys taking the time to do an indepth review.
Thanks again! Stay safe my friends
Bought one for my p320 Wilson combat. Can’t wait to try it out this Tuesday when it arrives.
En route, looking forward to trying it out. Thanks for the review
I have mine been using it for 6 months now and I love it it’s all scratched and messed up but man is it holding together really well
Good hear the positive feedback. I bought one in 2020 and like it a lot but don't get to shoot much unfortunately.
I’m a armed guard in Washington been running this holster for about a year as well best level 3 I’ve had super easy and more intuitive then others
Love that you left in the bloopers at the end.
Love the content here, man! Good info!
i have one of these. and i appreciate that you have a video about your input on it mojo
They now have the XL hood option for closed emitters. The back (top when holstered) of the hood comes down just in front of my rear sight on the Sig. It fits either open or closed emitters even better now.
Thank you for the wonderful review. I'm in the market for a "duty holster". Definitely will be checking out Alien Gear!
Would love to see you go over your setup for patrol gear. Vest, belt, stuff in your car etc
Glad you were able to get picked up by another Agency!
biggest gripes with the holster is the grab guard, the overall bulk i think could be slimmad and rounded more and the trigger gap on light models, however i run it anyways and I cant wait till they beat the gap problem. after that i believe it will start taking over Safariland as they slowly perfect the design, it is an absolutelt great duty holster and its cut a half second sometimes more off my draw tö first shot while still maintaining strong retention. love it.
Made the leap. Just waiting on it to come in. Thanks man
Mojo should be an ambassador for Alien Gear...
I’m going to buy one out of respect for you. Please keep up the CZcams vids
I think the biggest pro to these holsters is the shorter wait time/in stock time compared to popular safari land holsters.
op tactical has a lot of safariland holsters in stock like almost all the time
I waited a month and a half for my safariland holster still waiting for my rapid holster to arrive, and I ordered it a week apart from each other.
Amazing video. Great. Keep it up. We need more videos like this one. Blessings.
I love the duty alien gear line .
If you widen the hole at the bottom of a G17 holster you can fit a 34. It does poke out a bit but it does work.
That's why God invented dremmels.
Hmmm. I'm very tempted to get one of these. I need a serious holster and I'm debating between this, a safariland, and a Trex arms. The problem is I don't know what half the friggin attachments are that they ask you about at checkout when you go to the respective companies websites(especially safariland). I also am planning on getting my first serious gun belt and for that I'm most likely going to get the new Trex arms belt because again I don't know very much about gear but I want to train more seriously.
Their level 2 slim holsters are pretty cool. Just got mine couple days ago and I'm liking it....for the most part. Just little minor tweaks I think they could make to it
So far i love mine, one thing i noticed theu did which was awesome right before i bought mine is that theu did away with the option of the xl hood. Rather than giving an option you just get the xl hood which is awesome and makes sense from production perspective.
Less options more versatility.
But a fantastic holster so far.
05:42... I solved that problem on my safariland by molding and screwing a small piece of kydex in that spot, So that the entire trigger guard is covered. It will even hold a gun without a light snugly now. Completely solid and stable, I have tried without success to induce a ND with this holster for nearly 2 years now.
Got me cracking up at the end!
Bro I was going to edit all that stuff but I thought it would be kind of funny for everyone to see what actually happens when I don’t have that shit and I think this is going to be a trend for now on where I don’t even edit this stuff and just let it go lol
@@milspec_mojo worked out great bro. Keep up the great work keep pushing forward!!
If Alien Gear made a rapid force holster for the Glock 34, I would buy one instantly.
Well I personally have not tried this holster currently I am running a level 2 holster by Dara Holsters for my Walther PDP Pro SD Compact 4.6" with ZR tactical solutions compensator no issues whatsoever reasons why I went with Dara holster they had everything I needed did not have to go to 10 different sites was 1 shop and received very quickly. Not saying this is the end all to be all but has dramatically helped me it's very comfortable my best purchase of a holster battle belt rig and holster set-up. Hope this helps. Be safe and be aware of who's around you.
I picked one up to mess around with it. I tossed it on a true north Modular Holster Adaptor so its working just like QLS system.
Thank you Mojo
that chupapi muñaño at the end thing got me thinking if you're chilean, but then i discovered that is a worldwide meme, so i discard it. Greetings from Chile Mojo, big fan of yours, hoping to buy a rapid force soon for my glock 17 gen 3.
Only in airsoft/milsim guy but I absolutely love this video definitely going to check out that holster I mean if you could use it in duty use and kick the shit out of it for a year and it still works it’s probably gonna work fine my hobby
Edit: spelling
I just got the level 2 slim holster. My light didn’t fit but it’s not supposed to. That pissed me off a little. They list the lights that do fit. I love the rapid force system. For my full sized holster I have ZERO complaints and can’t understand paying more for less from another company. Never had a safari land. Probably never will. Great vid brother!!!
Yeahhh that would piss me off too dude! Did you hit them up about it??
No, I’ll have to buy a light that’s on there list. I should have known better.
Thanks for this 🤘🏼
Golden Nuggets everywhere ! Thanks Mojo !
Just got the rapid force level 3 for my Glock 17 got the low ride belt slide. I have had it almost 2 weeks. I am armed security so for I like it
I love your videos. Gretings from Italy
Best honest review 👌
I appreciate the video I'm going to look into it because I'm having issues with my p80s fitting into a safarilands without modification. I'm interested to see how this one fits.
That outro was 🔥
I wish id seen this like a month ago, i just bought a new safariland for my sig and had a hard time just finding a damn holster model # that met my needs. I can build one of these out for like 30-50$ cheaper than the safariland
Still giving it a shot. Have it for my P320 and my Glock holster should be in soon. I like the function of it for the P320 so far, pretty intuitive, have to mildly get used to it compared to the Safariland that I’ve been running forever. Not a fan of being able to get my finger on the trigger while in the holster though. We’ll see how the Glock fares because that’s my duty and the P320 is just something I run when teaching from time to time.
Going to see if my tourniquet bracket (got that idea from you, sir!) or possibly the RDS version will be able to fit on there. I have the adapter to run the QLS fork so we’ll see.
Definitely looks promising!
Yeah the open space around the trigger has me a bit shook
I hope they add the PDP in the future!
Bought my rapid force December of last year. I'll never go back. The draw is better. The QD system is better. It's built like a tank. AG is killing it.
Dude again, awesome content! Greatly appreciated.
You mentioned having a Steiner MPS on one of your guns, how does it compare to the Acro P2? Have you found any Pro‘s/Con‘s?
I have been eyeing this holster for a bit but I might still wait a bit longer for all these additional bugs get smoothed out. I run a Gcode with a thumb break. I would like to see if the alien gear holster can mount to the RTI system, in which I would buy this new holster in a heart beat.
So for me as a regular old civilian I don’t really need a lvl 3 holster but really thinking about ordering one to give it try.
THE RETURN OF THE KING
Hey Mojo I think this holster is one of the best holster I have ever used or seen but I have only one issue with it , I do understand having a open bottom but I would like to have a closed light area to protect the light from debris hitting it and damaging the light , I will reach out to Alien gear .
that was me with my sig P320 Vtac and finding a level 2 or 3 retention holster what safariland said woukd fit led me and a shop employee prying it off my firearm for an hour so I needed it quick so I opted for a T series in level 3 retention I just work security but I also had to buy some stuff for it to work right for me/ Safariland has had the thrown for to long happy ro see people trying to overthrow a complacent king
Good shit guys as always
My biggest issue with Safariland has always been the trigger issue. A deputy was literally shot in the leg with his own gun because of this. My Dara holster doesn’t do it and if Alien Gear fixes this issue I’ll definitely pick one up.
Don’t buy basket weave holsters and you’ll be fine
Safariland fan and user for a long time. But recently purchased a x300 light for my 226, only to find out sig doesn’t make any holsters that fit that combo.
Thought I was safe being probably the biggest gun/light combo you could get. No dice. Aggravating .
Straight to straight comparison between Safariland level 3 retention Duty holster vs Rapid Force Duty Holster they’re literally the same price.
I spec’ed them out for a G17 with RDS and TLR1HL and it was the same cost. However, No cordura option for the Rapid Force but there is for Safariland except it cost $66 more with them. No biggie you can do it yourself after on either option.
The big difference is the only other light from experience that would work with the Glock 17 or 19 running a TLR1HL mold would be the Olight Pro Valkyrie on this setup with Safariland. With Rapid Force their mold is universal with a lot of various lights.
Both holsters work but both have pros and cons. If you want a holster that is more compatible with more light options I’d say Rapid Force is best. If you’re running a Streamlight now for whatever reason and then later upgrade to an x300 you can do it, it’s compatible with multiple WML’s. If you try that with Safariland it won’t work, you’ll need a new holster so another $200+.
If you want a Long track record for a holster that will get the job done knowing you will not run into problems because it’s more familiar or because you fear you may be disappointed with a new company thats still trying to perfect their holsters, then just run the Safariland.
Well, not so fast there, Keymod-sabi. 6390-RDS fits both my TRL1HL and the X300 as they're a similar profile light. That being said, I think there is room for another company to make improvements over Safariland.
I finally lost my months long battle with the aesthetics of this holster, and bought one shortly after watching this video.
Aside from the royal pain it was to fit their QDS onto my Wilder Tactical Multi Holster Platform the holster seems like it’s very good quality.
I may never get the chance to actually use it though because it apparently may not be as compatible with the Modlight PL-350 as they claim. Everything goes in and comes out just fine, however, Approximately 1/4 of an inch of the bezel of my light sticks out the end of the holster and is definitely no Bueno for duty use. Received an automated email back from alien gear when I inquired if that is the proper fitment or not stating it will be 7 to 10 business days before they get back to me guess we’ll see.
I've been using mine with a PL350 on duty for over a year now. Aside from some cosmetic wear to the rim of my bezel, it hasn't been an issue.
@@Azorian36 im on pace to go through one of those Portal XLs every year at this point just from the holster constantly smacking the stupid center consoles my PD puts in their cars.
Wish I could drop pics in here for you. Bought my newest portal after I posted my comment when I sent back my Rapid Force. There’s already a gouge in the rim of the portal I had to grind down smooth with a drummel cause it was sharp lol. Aside from putting the holster in a high ride position I’ve tried everything to keep it off that damn center console. My roads are just too bumpy
I would like to see a DT session with all these holsters that seem to auto-open the hood with the same button as the retention release. I am personally curious, cause duty belt grabs happen all too often when you get into a scrap. I think that is why many agencies will not sign off on their officers carrying this. It’s not just about how fast you can get out of the holster, its about how well that holster keeps your weapon secured when the fight comes to you.
I think we need a holster that has the retention of a safari land but is thinner/closer to your body.
Rolling on the ground and doing wresting/BJJ becomes sub optimal when you have this gigantic holster stopping your mobility when it runs into the ground.
Completely agree brother! So this thing may seem like an auto open and I also still somewhat think it is but in the testing we’ve done so far it’s not like an automatic snap similar to the G code or the Blackhawk series of holster. It’s inertia driven so the faster I drive my thumb down the faster the bell releases and to that extent very similar to the Safariland. The faster I swept the self locking system on the safariland the faster the holster came out. Weapon retention is a huge thing and again like I was talking about in the video dudes were straight up just laying on the holsters or putting stress on the Safarilands end it was causing catastrophic failure to the point where you couldn’t get the gun out or now there was a big crack down the center. Right now my top two options are definitely the rapid force and the Safariland because of the safety aspect along with the speed of being able to get the gun out quickly. The testing we’ve conducted so far during defensive tactics training obviously was done in a controlled environment with Safarilands and with rapid forces and let’s be real here if you get somebody that knows what they’re doing or has touched one of these in their life they will be able to get the gun out during the struggle. I think at that point if we start digging down this rabbit hole we’re gonna have to start talking about officer awareness and preventative measures.
@@milspec_mojo I'm just a civilian but from watching body cam footage I think every single patrol cop should be required to study jiujitsu. I have seen so many officer involved fights online and most of those go to the ground where grappling skills are absolutely necessary.
We just had a very prominent case of this happening in a city near me called Grand Rapids Michigan and unfortunately the officer had to go to his gun and shot the individual he was fighting named Patrick Lyoya who was drunk and belligerent and who reached for the officers taser. The case has made national news and unfortunately his agency hasn't stood by him and has instead charged him with 2nd degree murder.
Active Self Protection had a video where a LEO was attempting an arrest and the perp resisted. The fight went to the ground and the perp got his finger into the officers holster and fired the holstered weapon.
Now the officer is stuck with a side arm with no round in the chamber and a guy trying to kill him. Everything ended well, but it showed that (especially in law enforcement context) a completely covered trigger is important.
Id love to have one for my USP Expert
Great information
That holster if fire. Way faster than safariland.
Wish I could share pictures…
I have my AG rapid force on a QLS fork and the true north mount. I was able to get all 3 bolts mounted on the AG through the QLS fork but had to do some mods which included washers. It’s solid.
Where I ran into issues the the true north mount. It’s straight unlike the AG and SL mounts which angle the top of the holster out. To get the can’t and enough spacing to run the release buttons I ended up with only 2 bolts mounting the QLS receiver to the true north mount.
If you want to see pictures message me..
Thanks for the solid info, Mojo.
Any experience with 10-8 Performance sights or other parts?
I’ve been using an assortment from them for over a decade. Only broke one front sight off a g19 in training. Warranty covered that replacement, quick. Otherwise, everything else has survived my abuse, mishandling, and harsh language…
Check out the lakeline 1/2x28 thread on comp...like the griffin but the port is only one big one across the top and is just as small/streamline. I like it better. It fits in the rapid force too. Also 1/3 of the price.
I’ve had a tough time finding the right holster for my glocks from Safariland. Alien Gear would be the clear option if they worked with the UBL and QLS system better. Might just go with Alien Gear anyways.
You’re no joke when it comes to tactical shit
Nice shirt, BigTex is big ups, great company
Love the content, when do we get a civilian EDC video from you, Mojo
Awesome. New Subscriber 😎
I was literally looking at this holster last night. Haha
I've had my rapid force on duty for 3 years. I bang it into an armored truck every day. I train with it, dryfire, and run it at milsim events, and it's never failed. Draw down to .83. Best thing to come out of alien gear.
So I just went to the Aliengear store and picked mine up for my Sig P320, however, since I have been running the Sig Gas Pedal/Thumbrest, the gun won't fit. I will be putting in the standard takedown lever to run this holster and determine if I like it more than I like the gas pedal. If not, I'll be going Safariland 6xxxRDS since I've seen multiple instances where the gas pedal fits
I’d love to try out a Rapid Force but as you stated the only thing stopping me is there being no option for a G34
Just need one for the P10 and PDP and I'd consider it pretty heavily
Does the ram jet hang up on the holster when unholstering? That’s my problem with my Gen 4 Glock 19 ram jet currently in the safariland.
Currently it hangs up on the ALS system when unholstering.
Commenting on old video, but Alien Gear now offers an adapter to mount the Rapid Force to Safariland QLS with all 3 holes.
Mojo may never see this but I'll post it anyway.
Mojo, if you see this, I'm not sure if you've shared your impressions on AGs new lvl 2 slim line but I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on it if you have any regarding it. In any case, thanks for what you do for the various communities you serve online and in person. Take care and God bless.
