Good points. I am required to have at least lvl II, and am not real fond of the hood guard on ALS, so I have the 6006 als guard installed. My previous non-wml holster was a 6360 with the SLS. Well, to be fair, that is just the most-recent-previous holster. I go back to a high ride Safariland model 29 holster for a .45 revolver, which I then replaced with jacket slot border patrol holster so I could zip up my coat in the winter, but I digress.
Blade tech apparently makes the Rapid Force for the P229, but not in basketweave. Alien Gear's new duty holster doesn't come in basketweave and not for the P229, although they will be offering it for the P226. I am not too enthused about being a beta tester on a new duty holster, however.
