CERTUM4 vs VELO5: Which Should You Buy?

This video compares the Tenicor Certum4 and Velo5 Kydex holsters, highlighting their key differences and similarities. The Velo5 is presented as an optimized solution for dedicated appendix carry with its molded body contour and 5° cant, while the Certum4 offers greater adjustability with up to 20° cant, no body contour for custom wedge/pillow additions, and a closed muzzle for hip carry comfort.

The choice depends on user preference for appendix versus hip carry and the desire for customization.
