Blackhawk announced it has added new Level 3 Duty (L3D) holsters to its popular T-Series line. Available in the familiar-to-law-enforcement basketweave finish, the new T-Series L3D holster series has been designed to better serve the needs of on-duty law enforcement officers--and others with retention-specific needs. These new holsters are compatible with the Glock 17 pistol with or without attached weaponlights.

The basketweave design has been long-associated with law enforcement, with the pattern most often seen on active duty holsters and belts. The black leather-look design of the Blackhawk T-Series offers an enhanced look and feel, and was designed to match frequently used belts, pouches and other accessories and continues Blackhawk’s long-standing legacy of duty-rated holsters.

Blackhawk notes that this new T-Series line is the world’s first dual-injected molded holster. It combines the company’s proven outer-body strength, obtained by using a glass-reinforced nylon along with a soft-touch inner layer. This inner layer is designed to be both smooth and sound-dampening. This durable and efficient, low-friction design translates into a quiet, efficient draw or when re-holstering the sidearm. Designed to follow Blackhawk’s Master Grip Principle, all T-Series holsters have been specifically developed to allow the user’s hand to land naturally where it should in order to deploy the sidearm.

The T-Series line is available in Level 2 and Level 3 configurations, including options for both compact firearms and firearms with weaponlights attached. All models are duty-rated and with their shared functionality, Blackhawk has helped solve the commonality of training with the same draw for every model holster. Whether going from concealment, Level 2 or Level 3, the draw stroke remains the same even with the holster changes making the T-Series the ideal holster to meet the needs of law enforcement and military professionals.

MSRP on the new basketweave design is $149.95, and light-bearing-compatible holsters are $169.95. More information on these holsters and other Blackhawk products can be found at blackhawk.com.
