Blackhawk 410703BKR T-Series L2C Non-Light Bearing OWB Black Polymer Belt Slide Fits Colt 1911 w/wo Rail Right Hand
The Blackhawk T-Series L2C is a no-nonsense outside-the-waistband holster built for shooters who want speed and security without the bulk. Engineered for Colt 1911 pistols with or without rails, this right-hand OWB holster strips away unnecessary weight while keeping your draw fast and your gun secure—ideal for range sessions, competition, or daily carry where comfort matters as much as accessibility.
The T-Series L2C uses a two-layer retention system: passive retention that works the moment you draw, plus a thumb-activated release that requires deliberate hand positioning to disengage. That means your grip naturally deactivates the retention lever during the draw cycle, so speed and security aren't at odds. The open-top design keeps the holster light and lets you mount most reflex sights while speeding up both the draw and the holstering process. A sound-dampening lining keeps things quiet, and the smooth interior—injection-molded polymer throughout—makes every rep feel the same.
This is a belt-slide design, and Blackhawk includes both a Quick Dual Release (QDR) belt loop already mounted to the holster and an extra 2-slot belt loop in the box, giving you options depending on your carry setup and belt thickness. Made in the USA from durable polymer that's light enough for all-day carry but tough enough to take a beating at the range or in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the T-Series L2C fit all 1911 variants and clones?
This holster is designed for Colt 1911 pistols with or without a rail. Blackhawk notes it does not fit all 1911 clones, so verify compatibility with your specific model before ordering.
Can I use a red dot or reflex sight with this holster?
Yes. The open-top design accommodates most reflex sights, making the T-Series L2C compatible with modern optics-equipped 1911s.
What's the difference between the QDR belt loop and the 2-slot belt loop?
Both are included in the box. The Quick Dual Release (QDR) belt loop comes pre-mounted to the holster and offers a quick-detach system. The 2-slot belt loop is a standard option for different belt setups. You can choose which works best for your carry rig.
Is this holster light enough for all-day wear?
Yes. The T-Series L2C is the lightweight version of the T-Series lineup, designed specifically for all-day carry comfort without sacrificing the retention and security of the thumb-release system.
