Kydex® is a water and corrosion resistant polymer. Front Line’s Kydex® holsters are solid and yet well fitting, tough and durable. Frontline’s holsters are made of Kydex® sheets, in a pressing process – not injection – which make them stronger and durable. Each Kydex® holster works the same from the first day you try it until you retire it.
The Front Line Head Lock retention system is an excellent level 2 retention system for tactical and duty holsters. It features a locking hood which retains the pistol securely in the holster. The locking hood is released by a thumb-release button and automatically rotates forward under heavy spring pressure. The release button is hidden under a cover which hides and protects the release.
The HDL retention system is operated in a natural, fluid motion by the shooters thumb, but the method of release is not apparent to untrained persons. The holster pistol is released with the thumb in a combined motion that clears the protective cover and presses the release button. The locking hood automatically rotates forward for an unimpeded draw.
The KNG HDL holster offers a substantial improvement over other thumb-release systems. It is fast and intuitive. The heavy-duty retention system offers a high level of security without requiring unnatural, complicated release methods.
Suitable for Glock 17, 22, 23
