Frequently Asked Questions

How does a holster claw improve concealed carry?

A holster claw, also known as a wing, attaches to an IWB holster and uses leverage against your belt to rotate the firearm's grip inward. This tucks the grip closer to your body, significantly reducing 'printing' and making the firearm less visible through clothing.

What factors influence firearm concealment besides the holster?

Effective firearm concealment depends on several factors including your body type, the size of the firearm relative to your body, the stiffness of your belt, and the type of clothing you wear. No single accessory guarantees concealment alone.

Can I adjust the effectiveness of a holster claw?

Yes, many holster claw systems, such as those from We The People Holsters, offer interchangeable 'feet' or 'shoes' of varying thicknesses. This allows you to fine-tune how aggressively the grip is tucked towards your body for optimal concealment.

What firearms are compatible with the discussed holster claw?

The video specifically mentions compatibility with Glock 19, Glock 19X, and Polymer80 firearms when using the We The People Holsters IWB model with a claw attachment.
