A holster can have several levels of retention, these indicate the number of protection mechanisms included in the holster. The main purpose of these mechanisms is to protect the wearer from the tearing off of his weapon, but they can also be used to improve the grip of the weapon or prevent the weapon from falling.
The retention levels are graduated from 1 to 5, depending on the number of security in place and are to be adapted to the needs of each wearer according to the risk of tearing off and the need for rapid access to the weapon.
