Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key differences between custom and production shoulder holsters?

Custom holsters offer superior quality with thicker leather, better hardware like brass screws, and precise fitting to your firearm and body dimensions. Production holsters often use thinner leather and less robust connectors, lacking the tailored fit of custom options.

Why is a quality belt important for a shoulder holster system?

The belt acts as the backbone of your carry system. A heavy-duty, 1.5-inch wide leather belt provides the necessary stability and support to prevent the holster rig from shifting or sagging, ensuring consistent firearm access.

How can I ensure my shoulder holster stays securely adjusted?

Once you've adjusted your shoulder holster to the ideal height and position, use Loctite on the adjustment screws. This prevents them from vibrating loose during daily movement, maintaining your preferred fit and draw angle.

What factors are considered during the custom shoulder holster fitting process?

The custom fitting process involves discussing your specific firearm model, any attached accessories like lights or lasers, your dominant hand, and your height and weight to ensure the holster is perfectly contoured for you.
