Considerations & Trade-offs
- Converting between IWB and OWB carry requires a standard Phillips head screwdriver, so it is not a tool-free adjustment.
- The holster is designed around rigid 1" to 1-3/4" leather or EDC-style belts, which may limit compatibility with softer or narrower belts.
- It uses dual outboard IWB clips and dual OWB loops, so setup and carry position depend on choosing the right attachment method for your preferred use.
- The suede-lined, precision-molded interior and full-grain leather exterior offer a premium build, but leather holsters typically require more care than simpler synthetic options.
