Frequently Asked Questions
Which aftermarket parts are compatible with your holsters?
External aftermarket parts such as slides, magazine releases, takedown levers, and slide release controls generally do not adhere to OEM specification and have a high likelihood of negatively impacting the quality of your holster’s fit. We cannot know how every single aftermarket part affects fitment – you should assume it will not fit unless explicitly stated otherwise. We are not responsible for ill fitment caused by aftermarket parts.
When will you add new models?
New products are added based on customer demand and our own interest. We track requests so if you don’t see what you want please get in touch and let us know!
How do I adjust the retention of my holster?
The screws on the perimeter of your holster with rubber bushings behind them are retention adjustment screws. Turn them a half turn at a time until the desired retention is achieved. Don’t forget to apply a small amount of the included threadlocker when you’re done.
What's the difference between DCC Mod4 clips and Stiff Clips?
Discreet Carry Concepts (DCC) Mod4 clips for 1.5″ belts are state of the art. These clips have more clamping force on the belt than any other clip on the market. They are extremely thin and low profile, adjustable for ride height, and shirts can be tucked in behind them. We recommend Mod4 clips for anyone who demands the highest performance from their holster, and especially users carrying in a professional capacity.
Stiff Clips are a new injection molded polymer option that universally fit belts up to 1.75″. They attach the same way as Mod4 clips and offer many of the same features without added cost.
What is the appendix wedge option, and do I want it?
The vast majority of our customers carry appendix and prefer holsters with this option. If you’re not carrying in the appendix position, you definitely do NOT want the wedge. Otherwise, maybe. Read on!
The appendix wedge is a permanent holster feature that is ergonomically designed to fill the gap between the holster and your pelvis when worn in the appendix position. It aids in concealment and comfort by tipping the muzzle away from the body and rotates the grip towards the body. Because it is molded into the holster body it does not deform and it will continue to perform for the life of the holster.
If you’re not sure where you want to carry, foregoing this option gives you more flexibility in the future. Generally wedge-less holsters are more comfortable and perform better strong side (3-4 o’clock). If you sometimes carry appendix, or want to experiment with it, there are various foam and rubber holster wedges that can be attached using adhesive velcro. These products may deform and lose performance over time, but they are replaceable and adjustable so you always have options.
Every body is unique and what is right for you is a highly personal decision that only you can make.
Help, I lost a screw!
Universal holster parts kits are available on our Accessories page. These kits contain two of every screw, bushing, spacer, and threaded post so you can repair or replace any fastener on any of our products.
My holster doesn’t fit right, what can I do?
This could be as simple as adjusting the retention screws, a case of incompatible parts installed on your pistol, or a warranty issue such as an error in manufacturing. Please contact us immediately so we can help you troubleshoot and determine next steps.
I need help ordering, can somebody call me?
We do all communication via email where we can exchange photos and screenshots. There are simply too many variations of very similar pistols and lights with very similar names, which are easily confused or conflated, and do not share holsters. Communicating via email ensures precise and concise communication about what you have and which holsters are compatible.
