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 liklihood 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?
Generally we add new models based on demand. 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 Monoblock and Mod4 belt clips?
The Monoblock is affordable, easy to use, and has adjustable cant (angle). It is a robust and simple belt clip that will exceed all but the most demanding needs. We recommend this clip for new users, anyone with reduced dexterity or hand strength, and strong side (3-4 o’clock) carry because of the adjustable cant.
Mod4 clips are state of the art. These clips offer significantly stronger clamping force on the belt as well as more stability due to the wider spacing. They are adjustable for ride height only, 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.
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 – absolutely not. 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!
You’re covered under warranty! Normally this is where you’d get lectured about not using the included VC-3 Threadlocker, but we understand sometimes things happen. Contact us with your holster and shipping info and we will get replacement parts out to you.
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.
