Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Open-top design leaves the firearm exposed, so it offers less coverage than a closed holster when carrying in brush or around debris.
  • The near-vertical carry angle is geared toward a fast draw, but it may not be the preferred ride height or angle for every user.
  • Fit is listed for specific models and similar frames, so compatibility should be verified carefully before purchase.
  • The belt slide design is intended to improve on-belt comfort and positioning, but it may not provide the same retention feel as a more fully enclosing holster.
