Frequently Asked Questions

How do you adjust the cant on a Tenicor holster for IWB hip carry?

Tenicor holsters utilize unique staggered slots and hole patterns on their clips, allowing for up to 30 degrees of cant rotation. You can adjust the position of the clips up or down, or rotate them together to achieve your desired cant angle for comfortable and effective hip carry.

What is the recommended method for determining the correct ride height for an IWB holster?

To find the optimal ride height, place the firearm in the holster and then slide the holster into your waistband where you intend to carry. Use a pencil to trace along the top of your pant line. This line will guide you in positioning the holster clips so the holster sits at the desired height for a good grip.

Should I fully tighten the holster clips immediately after initial placement?

No, it's recommended not to fully tighten the retention screws for the holster clips right away. Leave them slightly loose initially. This allows you to make minor adjustments to ensure the clips are perfectly aligned with your desired carry position and pant line before fully securing them.

How do you ensure the holster clips are properly secured after insertion?

After sliding the holster into your waistband, press on the bend of the clips. This action ensures they have fully popped into place and are securely engaged with your belt. Once confirmed, you can then tighten your belt to finalize the setup.
