The Standard for Duty Carry When you are in uniform, your holster needs to be two things: secure and professional. The Rothco Police Holster is built to meet the demands of law enforcement and security personnel who prefer the classic look and feel of web gear. Unlike standard nylon pouches that can be abrasive, this holster features a smooth Leatherette Lining. This protective interior ensures your sidearm slides in silent and scratch-free, preserving the finish of your Beretta, Glock, or 1911.

Constructed from stiff, heavy-duty Poly Webbing, the holster holds its shape for easy re-holstering—a critical feature during high-stress situations. Security is provided by a fully Adjustable Thumb Snap strap that locks the firearm in place during foot pursuits or scuffles but releases instantly with a natural thumb motion. Designed to fit standard duty belts, it offers a clean, uniform-ready appearance that commands respect.

Key Features

  • Leatherette Lining: A smooth synthetic leather interior protects the gun’s finish from scratches and wear while ensuring a snag-free draw.
  • Heavy-Duty Webbing: Constructed from rigid polypropylene webbing that resists water, tearing, and deformation.
  • Adjustable Retention: The hook-and-loop thumb snap strap can be adjusted to fit the exact height of your pistol's slide or hammer.
  • Universal Auto Fit: Sized to accommodate most 4-inch and 5-inch barrel semi-automatic pistols (e.g., Beretta 92, Glock 17).
  • Duty Belt Compatible: Designed to mount securely to standard 2.25" law enforcement duty belts.
  • Silent Operation: The leatherette lining dampens the sound of the draw compared to hard plastic or unlined nylon.

Why It Matters Cheap web holsters are just pockets of rough fabric. This "Police" model is a professional tool. The leatherette lining is the game-changer—it gives you the protection of a leather holster with the weather resistance and price point of synthetic web gear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Rothco Police Holster SKU 10556 fit my Glock 17 or Beretta 92FS?

Yes! The Rothco Police Holster is specifically designed for standard 4" and 5" frame semi-automatic pistols, including Glock models (17, 19, 22, 23), Beretta 92 series, Colt 1911, and other similarly sized handguns. The adjustable hook & loop thumb snap allows you to customize the fit for your specific firearm, ensuring a secure hold whether you're carrying a Glock, Beretta, or comparable duty pistol.

What makes the leatherette lining in this holster better than standard nylon holsters?

Unlike standard nylon holsters that can cause finish wear and holster rash, the Rothco Police Holster features a smooth leatherette lining that protects your firearm's finish from scratches and abrasion during daily carry. This protective lining also ensures a snag-free draw and smooth reholstering—critical for law enforcement and security professionals who need reliable, fast access without damaging their duty weapon over time.

Can I use the Rothco 10556 holster for plainclothes or off-duty carry?

Absolutely. While built to professional duty standards for uniformed officers, the Rothco Police Holster's clean, tactical design makes it equally suitable for plainclothes assignments and off-duty carry. The professional appearance blends well with both official uniforms and civilian attire, and the secure thumb snap provides quick-release capability without drawing attention.

How does the adjustable thumb snap on the Rothco holster work for different pistol sizes?

The hook & loop (Velcro-style) thumb snap system allows you to adjust the retention level to match your specific 4" or 5" pistol. Simply position the snap strap to achieve your desired retention—tighter for maximum security during active duty, or slightly looser for faster access during range training. This adjustability accommodates slight variations in frame width and slide dimensions across different manufacturers.

Is the Rothco Police Holster durable enough for daily law enforcement use?

Yes. This holster is engineered with professional duty construction specifically to withstand the rigors of daily law enforcement and security work. At $17.99 (cost $8.00), it delivers exceptional value for agencies outfitting multiple officers or individuals needing a reliable backup holster. The rugged materials and reinforced stitching are built for high-pressure environments where equipment failure is not an option.
