Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Thumb break retention adds an extra step on the draw, which may be a trade-off for users prioritizing the fastest possible access.
  • The holster is offered in Size 1, so fit is specific and should be matched carefully to the intended firearm.
  • Two cant positions provide flexibility, but they also mean the carry setup may need a little adjustment to find the preferred angle.
  • Added barrel room for higher front sights is a useful accommodation, but it also indicates the holster is designed around that specific clearance need rather than a one-size-fits-all profile.
