Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary purpose of the T.REX ARMS Ironside holster?

The T.REX ARMS Ironside holster is designed for outside-the-waistband (OWB) carry, specifically for the 3 o'clock to 5 o'clock positions on the body. It offers a secure and concealable alternative to inside-the-waistband (IWB) holsters for users who prefer or require OWB carry due to body type, wardrobe, or specific situations.

How can I adjust the cant on the T.REX Ironside holster?

The Ironside holster features adjustable cant. It comes standard with a 10-degree forward cant, which is ideal for most users. You can adjust this by repositioning the belt clips to different mounting holes on the holster, allowing for options like 5-degree forward, zero, or 5-degree negative cant.

What are the two adjustment screws on the Ironside holster for?

The Ironside holster has two main adjustment screws. The top screw primarily controls the friction of the draw, affecting how easily the firearm slides out. The bottom screw is crucial for retention, securing the weapon itself or the attached weapon light, ensuring the firearm stays in place.

Why is the Kydex on the Ironside holster thicker?

The Ironside holster uses thicker, sturdier Kydex to provide enhanced rigidity. This increased stiffness is essential for outside-the-waistband (OWB) holsters, as it directly contributes to better weapon retention, compensating for the lack of support provided by the belt and pants compared to inside-the-waistband (IWB) designs.

Can I use the Ironside holster without a weapon light?

Yes, T.REX ARMS offers a non-weapon light version of the Ironside holster. If you are using a firearm without a light, it's crucial to select this specific version, as the light-compatible models are precisely formed for the combined shape of the gun and light and will not secure a gun without the light attached.
