I have Blackpoint Tactical holster for this but how about a duty holster? What are you using?

All of my duty holsters have been Safariland ALS or ALS/SLS models.

They offer a few models that are RDS compatible, like the 6360RDS, but those currently only support the most common duty guns: Glocks, P320s, and M&Ps.


With P226s nearly phased out among LE agencies while RDSs are just now being phased in, I don't know that you'll find any holster makers mass producing P226 RDS duty holsters. You'll likely have to stick with custom duty holster makers, like Dara Holsters.

I had a pretty good discussion with one of the Safariland Execs about six months ago about duty holsters for guns with RDS. He was pretty clear that they have a "what you see is what you get" vision. I especially tried to convince him of producing a 7TS style holster for "concealed" (if you can really call it that but more of a detective style holster) for even their current inventory and he stated that there wasn't sufficient interest inside the company to pursue that project.

Yeah, when they've already got like 95% of the duty holster market cornered, and 99% of agencies are using the same three or so handguns, I can see why Safariland would have zero interest in investing any additional R&D, production capacity, or warehouse space on chasing that minute percentage of a minute percentage that uses something else. They'll let the little custom shops fight over those scraps.

I was searching for RDS duty holster for our P320s, and our sales rep said there is a 2-6 month wait on the RDS holsters, because Safariland it a strict Just-In-Time, Six-Sigma, KaiZen producer on those – No inventory/stock. Your order gets put in a line, and when they have enough orders, they make a run of holsters with maybe a half-dozen extra, maybe...

It probably won't help someone looking for an issued duty holster as modifications are probably not possible. But I have had no issues modifying a number of my kydex holsters not originally designed for an RDS to support an RDS. Some fit no issues. most needed just a slight trim at the top and a few needed the sight channel modified to deal with suppressor height.
At most I spent 10 minutes to make them work. I've done probably two dozen of them.
And I was only unsuccessful once on a red hat tactical for a VP9 that I could not get the sight channel to clear a set of trijicon suppressor height sights.
A light on the other hand has to be done from the beginning.
YMMV

Maybe Redhill Tactical? They've got a level 2 holster w/a Bladetech hood and they're available for the gamut of SIG models and options for WML and RDS cuts as well as being able to mount w/ELS or QLS and other mounting options.
