FAQs
What are Holster-retention levels?
Holster-retention levels (level 1, level 2, etc.) refer to the number of actions required to defeat a holster’s retention mechanisms and free the firearm. They do not refer to equipment, like a hood. Retention mechanisms can be passive or active, and multiple mechanisms may be combined to provide greater levels of retention.
Although a useful marketing term, retention levels are not a clear, consistent or reliable indication of holster security. Some retention mechanisms are more secure than others. Therefore, it’s important to look beyond the term to the mechanisms themselves.
Passive retention resists (not prevents) the firearm being drawn from its holster. If you pull the firearm hard enough, it comes out - one action, one level of retention. Leather and fabric holsters provide varying degrees of non-adjustable passive retention via friction. Kydex holsters with screws and rubber spacers (like those we make) provide adjustable passive retention via recesses that lock into the trigger guard or light. Tightening the screws increases the amount of force needed to flex the recessed Kydex and free the firearm.
Active retention refers to mechanisms that must be disengaged or broken to free the firearm. Safariland’s ALS locks into a pistol’s ejection port and must be depressed to disengage the lock and free the firearm - one action, one level of retention. Safariland’s SLS hood has a button that must be depressed (first action) then pushed forward (second action) to clear the hood and free the firearm - two levels of retention. If you combine the two (disengage the SLS then the ALS), you get three actions - three levels of retention.
Passive and active retention can be combined. If you put a hood (eg. SpetzGear’s Speedlock or Blade-Tech’s WRS) on one of our holsters, you have two levels of retention. Pull (Speedlock) or push (WRS) the hood’s lever (first action) to clear the hood and pull on the firearm (second action) to flex the recessed Kydex and free the firearm.
Can you own firearms in Australia?
Yes, you can.
What firearms can I own in Australia and how do I get them?
The answer depends on what state or territory you live in and your ability to justify ownership. Beyond that, it’s your responsibility to engage with the acts (legislation) and regulations (application of legislation) which determine access to firearms and relevant licensing.
Can I send you my firearm to have work done to it?
Yes, through a licensed firearms dealer. When we’re done, it’ll be sent back the same way – from us to your chosen dealer.
The following items need to be shipped from dealer to dealer:
- firearms,
- actions,
- barrels,
- slides, and
- frames.
The following items can be mailed by you directly to us and vice versa:
- everything else.
Do you ship internationally
We do, but the website isn't set up for it. If there's something you'd like us to ship outside of Australia, contact us.
