The Bulldog RRLC9 Rapid Release holster delivers instant firearm access through its innovative paddle-release mechanism designed specifically for the Ruger LC9. This outside-the-waistband holster eliminates fumbling with traditional retention systems while maintaining secure weapon retention during daily carry.
What Makes This Different
The rapid release system uses a thumb-activated paddle that disengages retention with a single motion, reducing draw time by approximately 0.3 seconds compared to standard friction holsters. The polymer construction provides consistent performance across temperature ranges from -20°F to 120°F. Unlike leather holsters that require break-in periods, this design maintains its retention characteristics immediately.
Key Features
- Single-motion paddle release system for sub-second draws
- Injection-molded polymer construction resists moisture and deformation
- Adjustable cant from 0 to 15 degrees for optimal draw angle
- Custom-molded fit for Ruger LC9 with trigger guard coverage
- Paddle attachment accommodates belts up to 1.75 inches wide

Field testing demonstrates reliable retention during physical activity while allowing smooth one-handed draws. The holster maintains weapon security during running, climbing, and vehicle operations. Law enforcement agencies report successful deployment in both uniformed patrol and plainclothes assignments. The polymer material shows minimal wear after 6 months of daily carry.
