Importance of Adjustability On A Holster

When you are selecting a holster, especially a concealed carry holster, you most likely look for a few things. Comfort is probably at the top of your list. If you are using a holster on a daily basis you want a holster that will give you physical and mental comfort. One of the most important comfort features a holster can have is adjustability.

Imagine you bought a brand new belt. You feel confident in your purchase and are planning to wear it to work today. You put the belt on as you are getting ready in the morning only to realize it doesn’t adjust. It is too large making it ineffective at keeping your pants up throughout the day.

You spent a few minutes trying to figure out how it adjusts but can’t seem to make it work. Whether it was too small or too big it would not have been comfortable. Belts should be comfortable, so why isn’t this one adjustable? When you buy a belt, it needs to be adjustable to suit your preferences. The same thing goes for holsters.

Quality holster manufacturers will design their holsters with a level of adjustability to meet the user’s needs and preferences. Not only is this an important thing to look for in a holster company, it can also play a key role in your comfort level. Oftentimes this adjustability can include retention, ride height, and cant.

Retention is what keeps your gun in your holster, you may want more or less retention depending on your needs. The ride height and cant that work best for you can depend on the position you carry in as well as your personal preferences. Ride height is how high or low your holster sits on your waistband and cant is the angle your holster sits at which can affect your draw.

With our customers in mind, many of our uniquely designed holsters are adjustable to fit your preferences. Let’s discuss more about each one and how they are adjustable.
