Kydex Holsters
A versatile, general-purpose holster designed for inside-the-waistband (IWB) concealed carry. Ideal for appendix, 3 o’clock, or 4 o’clock positions, this low-profile holster minimizes printing for discreet everyday carry. It comes standard with a stainless steel clip in the Discreet Carry Concepts style and includes a concealment claw for improved concealment and stability.

The holster is equipped with four mounting holes for the retention clip, allowing for multiple positioning options. By attaching the clip symmetrically to either the top or bottom pair of holes, users can choose between two ride heights. Alternatively, using an asymmetrical setup, one top hole and one bottom, introduces a forward cant. This angled configuration can improve comfort and accessibility, particularly for appendix carry, and is especially beneficial at the 3 or 4 o’clock positions, where a slight tilt often results in a more natural and comfortable draw.
This kydex holster is equipped with a concealment claw made from durable acetate plastic, ensuring long-term rigidity and performance. The claw presses against the inside of the belt, rotating the grip of the handgun inward toward the body. This helps reduce printing, making the holster more discreet and better suited for concealed carry, especially in tighter clothing or when carrying at the appendix or hip position.
This holster is specifically designed for inside-the-waistband (IWB) carry, meaning it is intended to be worn inside the pants for deep concealment. It relies on the pressure of the belt and waistband to stay securely in place. Attempting to wear it outside the waistband (OWB) can result in poor retention and instability. Additionally, the holster’s orientation is specific to handedness, using a right-handed IWB holster on the outside of the waistband effectively reverses the draw angle, making it functionally left-handed and unsuitable for proper use.
