Our Custom Duty OWB Holsters are hand crafted in the USA from .093" Boltaron/Kydex and molded to each firearm for a perfect fit. Our Duty Holster, like all of our products, comes with an adjustable Military Grade Rubber Retention System. This system allows you to adjust the retention of the holster to your desired holding.
The second level of retention is our ever reliable thumb throw retention system. This system consists of a rotating hood held in the upward position by a molded detent, giving it a similar feel to the tight operating safety on an AR-15 variant rifle. Our thumb throw is a completely manual system with no springs or buttons waiting to break or fall out. These hoods are custom made to your holster, unlike the generic one-size-fits-all ejection molded pieces used on other Duty Holsters.
Be sure to checkout out our OWB Magazine Carriers, as well as our IWB Holsters for your backup gun.
Please Note: Our standard, stock sight channel will accommodate most after markets sights, with the exception of suppressor height sights. If you have suppressor height sights, let us know so we can accommodate them!
How to Order:
Firearm:
Start by choosing your firearm model. We have two drop down menus that list each Manufacturer and Model in alphabetical order. If you don't see your firearm, we may not have that model available just yet. You can contact Customer Support to see if your model is available.
Holster Color:
The next step is choosing your Holster Color. We do provide swatches on the order form, but larger pictures can be found on our FAQ page here.
Draw Hand:
Choose how you'd like to carry the holster. If you plan to carry using a method not listed on the drop down menu, please see if your specific carry method is listed under the 'SHOP HOLSTERS' section on the main menu at the top of the page.
Belt Attachment:
Choose your desired belt attachment from the drop down menu, along with the corresponding belt size. 1.5" is the most common belt size. 1.75" is most common for tactical belts, and 2"-2.25" is common for duty belts.
Ride Height:
This is how your holster and firearm will sit in relation to the belt, vertically. A low ride height put the grip of the gun lower in the belt line. Be careful with a low ride height, as the grip of the firearm can become buried easily with a reverse cant angle. A mid ride height, which is the most common, will put the top of the belt in line with where the trigger guard meets the frame. The high ride height will put the holster higher up on the belt, giving you a full grip. To see the ride height and cant angle chart, scroll through the product pictures.
Cant Angles:
We offer many different cant angles conducive to every carry method. If you plan to carry at the hip, you'll want to choose a straight draw (0° cant) or forward cant angle. The forward cant angle tilts the grip up and forward and the muzzle backwards. If you want to carry crossdraw, you'll need to choose a reverse cant angle, which tilts the grip down and back, the muzzle forward.

This is where you'll want to bring any customizations up. We need to know about switched magazine release buttons, extended mag release buttons, suppressor height sights and other such modifications.
