Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 3-way OWB layout gives flexibility, but it also means you’ll want to choose the carry position carefully for your setup and preference rather than expecting one fixed carry style.
- Fit is listed for specific handguns and similar frames, so compatibility should be verified against your exact pistol before purchase.
- The thumb break adds retention, but it also introduces an extra step on the draw compared with an open-top holster.
- This is a size 3 holster, so the fit is size-specific and not intended as a universal option for every handgun model.
