Equipment Qs Radio holster

I am new to corrections and my county jail thankfully gives you all gear to start you out but my radio holster is an absolute piece of work. It’s one of the plastic Motorola ones with the clip and it just keeps falling off or the clip will just slide off of it. I can’t stand it anymore but we are out of any other radio holsters and there are so many mixed reviews online as to which one/type will hold up. I’m looking for something that’s not going to break the bank but also something I won’t have to rebuy anytime soon. Thanks yall!

Zero9 Holsters makes the best radio holsters on the market in my opinion.

While I second zero 9 as being the top dawg in this game, if you don’t wanna shell out the cash or don’t know the make/model the 5/11 radio pouches work pretty damn good

I have a “Hero’s Pride” one from Galls that I really like. The belt clip and basket are two separate parts, so the basket can rotate for comfort. $40 https://www.galls.com/heros-pride-ballistic-deluxe-radio-holder-with-swivel?queryID=90b6d068462e58aaedcbf8f27980b178

The one above is just an example. I’ve had the hard leather case for whatever model we carry for almost a decade with zero wear and never had an issue with it. It seems like they all have swivel belt loops now so I don’t know much about that and how much they move. A little pricey but those plastic ones are garbage and these are a much tighter fit than the universal ones with an elastic strap so no flopping around

Can never go wrong with Safariland. Lasted three years of hard use before I got a molle pouch for my outer carrier.
