How do you define Safety in a Holster?

The Professional is “The Holster” that started a reformation in the duty holster industry years ago. Mike Lowe the founder and 21 year Police veteran/trainer, could no longer tolerate the inadequate and unnatural status quo of twists, rocks, straps, flaps and snaps, and created a holster that met all the “Real world” needs of today’s street officers. Holster methodologies could no longer just focus on retention, and ignore other critical needs. Mike created a holster that was designed to meet “all” of the performance requirements demanded to define Safety in a security holster;

  • Strength
  • Security
  • Fast access
  • Unobstructed Holstering

“Anytime you compromise access for complexity and security for access this un-balanced approach creates a compromise of safety. Using the term Retention for security is like saying a paper bag will hold water, its very superficial, but if marketed well and often enough people will eventually believe it… until it counts.”
