Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key differences between the Royal Guard and Summer Comfort holsters?

The Royal Guard holster is made from horsehide, known for its durability and sweat resistance, potentially lasting 10-20 years. The Summer Comfort holster uses cowhide, which becomes softer over time but may degrade faster due to sweat salts, especially in humid climates.

How should I break in a new leather holster?

To break in a new leather holster, perform 200-300 draws. This process creates a 'wear channel' inside the holster, ensuring a smooth draw while maintaining secure firearm retention.

What is the recommended belt size for IWB carry?

When carrying a firearm Inside the Waistband (IWB), it's recommended to use a belt that is 1.5 inches larger than your normal waist size to comfortably accommodate the holster and firearm without excessive tightness.

What is the proper draw technique from concealment?

The recommended draw technique involves using your off-hand to clear the concealing garment, establishing a firm grip with your strong hand on the firearm, drawing smoothly, and keeping your finger off the trigger until you are on target.
