The damage from smashing into the ground, jumping over walls and getting in and out of cars can take a toll on any piece of kit. Today\u2019s holsters are a long way from the old nylon or leather products you may have seen in the past.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-41714\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/duty-holster-for-xd-m-elite-9mm.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/duty-holster-for-xd-m-elite-9mm-800x450.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/duty-holster-for-xd-m-elite-9mm-400x225.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/duty-holster-for-xd-m-elite-9mm-768x432.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/duty-holster-for-xd-m-elite-9mm-600x337.jpg.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"787\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/duty-holster-for-xd-m-elite-9mm.jpg\" alt=\"duty holster for xd-m elite 9mm\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/duty-holster-for-xd-m-elite-9mm.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/duty-holster-for-xd-m-elite-9mm-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/duty-holster-for-xd-m-elite-9mm-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/duty-holster-for-xd-m-elite-9mm-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/duty-holster-for-xd-m-elite-9mm-600x337.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">When testing the Comp-Tac CT3 duty holster, the author mounted it on a duty rig and hit the\u00a0range.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Comp-Tac CT3 is a multi-material holster to ensure durability and long service life. The outer shell is vacuum-formed Kydex to ensure a firm yet easy-to-draw fit. The moving parts that lock onto the holster are polymer and ensure the pistol will not fall out of the holster unless the locks have been defeated with purpose.<\/p>\n<p>The spring-loaded locking mechanism works by depressing a safety button on the inside edge of the holster, which is nicely tucked away by the user\u2019s hip. This button deactivates the hood and breech lock that retains the firearm, allowing it to be removed quickly and efficiently. The large hood ensures the pistol cannot bounce out of the holster, even if the breech lock has been defeated.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-41715\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/protective-hood-on-holster.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/protective-hood-on-holster-800x533.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/protective-hood-on-holster-400x267.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/protective-hood-on-holster-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/protective-hood-on-holster-600x400.jpg.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/protective-hood-on-holster.jpg\" alt=\"protective hood on holster\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/protective-hood-on-holster.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/protective-hood-on-holster-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/protective-hood-on-holster-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/protective-hood-on-holster-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/protective-hood-on-holster-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Duty holsters are essential pieces of gear. They need to secure your firearm against a gun grab, yet be simple enough for a fast draw under\u00a0stress.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There is also adjustable tension at the bottom of the holster in the way of a tension screw. To ensure your optic is protected, a rubberized hood will cover up the optic when it\u2019s locked into place.<\/p>\n<p>For those not familiar with a Level 3 holster, it basically is a holster design that combines both active and passive retention systems.<\/p>\n<p>The build quality of the Comp-Tac CT3 is top-notch. The mold they have used for the pistol is perfect in size and form, and gives you plenty of room for the tension you desire. All fasteners seem to be very high quality, although I\u2019d throw a little thread locker on them if you plan or running and gunning really hard.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-41716\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/holster-mounting-hardware.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/holster-mounting-hardware-800x533.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/holster-mounting-hardware-400x267.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/holster-mounting-hardware-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/holster-mounting-hardware-600x400.jpg.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/holster-mounting-hardware.jpg\" alt=\"holster mounting hardware\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/holster-mounting-hardware.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/holster-mounting-hardware-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/holster-mounting-hardware-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/holster-mounting-hardware-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/holster-mounting-hardware-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Comp-Tac CT3 mounts to duty belts with a width of up to 2\u2033.

When you activate the locking mechanism, you will be met with a large thumb button that is firm yet smooth on the action. It will guide your primary hand down to the grip of your pistol so you can get an appropriate initial purchase on the grip.<\/p>\n<p>After establishing your grip while maintaining pressure on the thumb release, you pull up and the breech lock will be defeated. Now, that may sound like a lot, but with some practice you will be getting sub-second first-round hits in no time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter inline\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: none;\" class=\"logo-tal-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/themes\/thearmorylife\/img\/logo-tal-tm-icon.svg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Live The Armory Life.<\/strong> The latest content straight to your inbox plus an automatic entry to each of our <a class=\"ajax-giveaways\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/giveaways\/\"><strong>monthly gun\u00a0giveaways!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The holster will come with a mid-drop belt slide attachment.

But for me, the proof is in the design. I have had the chance to test two Comp-Tac holsters now, and each one was extremely well made and lightning fast.<\/p>\n<p>For me, it\u2019s the first time I have carried Level 3 for any amount of time. I have always carried a single security lock holster for the added speed. However, with the CT3, I can get the same speed I would from a Level 1 locking holster, but now with a Level 3. So, to answer the age-old question, would I carry it?
