Frequently Asked Questions

How does a holster wedge improve concealed carry?

A holster wedge improves concealed carry by altering the angle of your firearm and holster against your body. This helps keep the gun closer to you, preventing it from printing (showing through clothing) and increasing overall comfort, especially during movement or when sitting.

Where should I place a holster wedge to conceal the top of my gun?

If the top of your gun is printing, place the holster wedge at the bottom of your holster. This pushes the barrel away from your body, causing the top of the gun to come in closer to your body for better concealment.

How do I position a holster wedge for better grip concealment?

To conceal the grip of your firearm more effectively, position the holster wedge towards the slide of the gun. This action will push the grip closer to your body, making it less likely to print.

What is the most common mistake when using a holster wedge?

The most common mistake is placing the holster wedge in the middle or too far down the edge of the holster. This can lead to discomfort, especially with appendix carry, as the hard edges of the holster can rub against your body.
