The Bulldog RR1911C Rapid Release holster delivers instant access to compact 1911 pistols through its innovative quick-release mechanism. Built from reinforced black polymer, this outside-the-waistband paddle holster accommodates 3-inch barrel 1911 variants with secure retention and lightning-fast deployment.
What Makes This Different
The rapid release system sets this holster apart from traditional retention designs by allowing single-handed draw activation while maintaining Level II security. Unlike standard friction holsters, the RR1911C features an active retention mechanism that releases with natural thumb pressure during the draw stroke. This design reduces draw time by approximately 0.3 seconds compared to passive retention systems while preventing accidental weapon removal.
Key Features
- Rapid release retention system activates with thumb pressure during draw
- Reinforced black polymer construction resists impact and weather
- Paddle attachment system fits belts up to 2.25 inches wide
- Fits 1911 pistols with 3-inch barrels including Officer and Defender models
- Right-hand configuration with 15-degree forward cant
- Adjustable retention tension screw for custom fit
- Low-profile design minimizes printing under clothing
Field testing demonstrates consistent performance across temperature ranges from -20°F to 120°F without retention failure. The polymer material maintains flexibility in cold conditions while resisting deformation in heat. Law enforcement agencies report successful deployment rates exceeding 99% during qualification drills. The paddle system distributes weight evenly across the belt line, reducing fatigue during extended carry periods.
