Frequently Asked Questions

What is a holster wedge and how does it improve concealment?

A holster wedge is typically a piece of foam attached to the back of an Inside-the-Waistband (IWB) holster. It pushes against your body, pivoting the holster and tucking the firearm's grip closer to you, significantly reducing printing.

Why does a standard holster cause my gun to print?

Standard holsters can leave a gap between the grip of your firearm and your body. This gap allows the grip to protrude outwards, creating a visible outline or 'print' through your clothing, especially when bending or moving.

What materials are holster wedges made from?

Holster wedges are commonly made from foam, offering a comfortable yet firm surface to press against the body. They are usually attached to the holster using Velcro for easy application and removal.

Are holster wedges comfortable for everyday carry?

Yes, holster wedges are designed to enhance comfort by eliminating the gap that can cause discomfort and digging. By tucking the grip closer, they create a more streamlined profile against the body.
