The Blackhawk T-Series L3D Light-Bearing RDS Duty Holster (brand part no. C45LCB) is a level-3 duty holster built for red-dot-equipped, light-bearing duty pistols. It uses Blackhawk’s thumb-activated retention off the Master Grip Principle, so the release deactivates naturally as the shooter forms a full grip under stress. A rotating dust cover shields the mounted optic from impacts and debris and can be removed if the officer prefers. This listing’s catalog data was mixed up with an unrelated .45 Long Colt ammunition SKU in the distributor feed; the description here reflects the actual product, a Blackhawk duty holster, not ammunition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a light-bearing holster? Yes — the L3D is built to accommodate a weapon light along with a slide-mounted red dot optic.

Does the dust cover interfere with using the red dot? No — the rotating dust cover is designed to protect the optic when holstered and can be removed entirely if you prefer an open top.

Do I need to buy a belt loop separately? A Jacket Slot Belt Loop is included and attached; the Quick Dual Release (QDR) and 2-Slot Belt Loop options are sold separately if you want a different mounting style.
