Overview

Built for handgun owners who want flexible carry options, this holster supports four positions: inside-the-waistband with a metal clip, outside-the-waistband vertical draw, horizontal small-of-back carry, and cross-draw. It is made with certified American Heavy Native Steerhide and uses a thumb break design for secure retention. The fit list covers a range of common pistols from Glock, Ruger, Smith & Wesson, Sig Sauer, Springfield, and Taurus, along with similar frames. For hunters and outdoorsmen who need a versatile belt holster rather than a single-purpose setup, it offers multiple carry methods in one design.

  • The thumb-break design offers added retention, but it can be slower to access than an open-top carry option.
