Key Takeaways

  • Features Level II retention
  • Includes an auto-lock retention system
  • Equipped with a quick-draw release mechanism
  • Constructed from lightweight, high-grade polymer
  • Includes a standard paddle attachment
  • Optional Belt Clip and MOLLE Adapter available separately

Overview

The Byrna Level II Holster is designed for users who want a secure carry solution while maintaining rapid access to their launcher. The Level II retention system helps keep the launcher securely in place during movement while allowing for a smooth draw when needed.

Constructed from durable, lightweight polymer, the holster is suitable for everyday carry, training, and professional-style carry setups. The included paddle attachment provides a convenient mounting option, while additional mounting accessories are available for users who prefer alternative carry methods.

The Byrna Level II Holster is available in separate right-handed and left-handed versions. Because the retention system and release mechanism are hand-specific, the holster is not ambidextrous. Customers should select the version that matches their preferred draw hand.

How It Works

When a compatible Byrna launcher is inserted into the holster, the auto-lock retention system automatically engages to secure the launcher.

To draw the launcher, the user activates the quick-draw release mechanism while drawing upward. This design provides an additional level of retention compared to a standard open-top holster while still allowing for fast access when needed.

The holster comes standard with a paddle attachment that allows it to be worn on a belt or waistband. Users who prefer a different mounting option can replace the paddle attachment with the optional Byrna Level II Holster Belt Clip or Byrna Level II Holster MOLLE Adapter.
