Vidar - OWB Level 2 Holster

Unyielding Restraint. Mission Ready. Engineered Without Failure Points.

When your environment demands more than standard friction retention, you need a weapon platform that locks down seamlessly under stress. Named after the Norse god of silent strength and unyielding restraint, The Vidar Series is our premier Outside-the-Waistband (OWB) Level 2 retention holster. It is engineered specifically for duty use, tactical training, competitive matches, and open carry in rugged environments.

Featuring the premium TRS (Talon Retention System) Level 2 hood, the Vidar completely blocks the firearm from being pulled or dislodged from the top or rear. The moment you sweep your thumb down into a natural firing grip, the spring-loaded TRS mechanism snaps forward instantly, delivering a lightning-fast, unhindered draw stroke.

The Standard for Duty Reliability

"Most mass-market Level 2 holsters rely on thin, injection-molded plastic or standard 0.080" sheets that twist under load. Because the mechanical thumb paddle of the TRS hood demands absolute structural rigidity, we build the Vidar using a minimum thickness of 0.093" USA-made Kydex, with extreme 0.125" builds available for maximum stiffness. This ensures that no matter how hard you drive the hood release, your holster frame stays perfectly rigid and your draw stays completely fluid."

Premium Technical Specifications

• Active TRS Level 2 Protection: The premium, spring-loaded Talon Retention System (TRS) mechanical hood locks over the rear of the slide, preventing weapon takeaways or accidental loss during dynamic movement.
• Natural Thumb Activation: The TRS hood is released via an ergonomic, textured thumb paddle positioned exactly where your thumb naturally rests during a standard draw stroke.
• Upgraded Structural Rigidity: Built using a high-strength minimum standard of 0.093" Kydex to eliminate frame flex and guarantee flawless mechanical hood deployment. Extreme-duty 0.125" thickness is available in select colorways.
• Optic & Suppressor Ready: Formed with a generous, precision-molded top channel to seamlessly clear all modern red dot optics (SRO, RMR, Acro, Holosun) and suppressor-height sights.
• Hand-Finished Precision: Every holster is precision-molded, radiused, and hand-polished on our bench to eliminate sharp hotspots and guarantee a perfect, snag-free draw.
• Duty-Ready Mount Included: Comes standard, fully assembled on the rugged TRS Duty Drop Belt Attachment paired with the TRS (UBL) Spacer, delivering the perfect offset and ride height to clear body armor and plate carriers during a draw.

A Note on Your Foundation:

Outside-the-waistband setups place massive twisting leverage on your waistline. To prevent your weapon from tipping outward under its own weight, pair this rig with a ultra-rigid, high-tensile Kore Essentials X7 Tactical Belt or Kore Essentials MOLLE Battle Belt to ensure a perfectly stable anchor.
