A holster must match the exact configuration, not just the name on the pistol

The information on this site is intended solely to support lawful and responsible product selection. It is not firearms instruction. Carrying and use must comply with a valid license, the law, manufacturer instructions, and training from a qualified professional.

What matters for the task

• Full, rigid coverage of the trigger area, as designed by the manufacturer.
• Compatibility with the exact model, generation, and configuration.
• Retention suited to the intended use and training.
• A secure attachment to the belt or carry system.
• Comfort while moving and sitting, without compromising safety.
• The ability to inspect for wear, screws, and attachment points.

Essential layer

A compatible holster and belt attachment system. Any change to the pistol’s configuration requires checking compatibility again.

Recommended layer

A belt that supports the weight, a safe storage solution in accordance with the law and instructions, and manufacturer-approved maintenance equipment.

Optional layer

Accessories for a specific configuration, only after training, approval, and inspection. Adding an optic or light may require a completely different holster.

Compatibility details you need to know

1. Full manufacturer and model.
2. Generation/version and barrel length.
3. Right- or left-handed.
4. Optic: manufacturer and model.
5. Lighting device: manufacturer and model.
6. Safety mechanisms or external modifications.
7. Belt type and width.
8. Permitted and intended carry method.

If any detail is missing, we’ll mark it verification required.

Comfort and access

Comfort should be assessed with your actual belt and clothing, but draw-and-reholster practice should only be done in a safe environment and with appropriate instruction. Do not modify, heat, sand, or drill a holster contrary to the manufacturer’s instructions.

What not to buy yet

• A “universal” holster without suitable coverage and retention.
• A model identified only by the pistol family.
• An accessory that requires an unapproved modification to the holster.
• A belt attachment before measuring the belt’s width and thickness.
• A used or damaged product that hasn’t been professionally inspected.

Frequently asked questions

Does a holster for one model fit all generations?

Not necessarily. Changes to the frame, dimensions, or controls can affect compatibility.

What changes when there’s an optic?

There must be adequate clearance for the optic, and sometimes a different sight height is needed. Verify the specific model.

Does “light-compatible” mean it fits every light?

No. Many holsters lock onto a specific light model.

How do I know whether it’s right- or left-handed?

Based on your dominant hand and carry method, in accordance with your training. Don’t assume based on a product photo alone.

Can I check it in the store?

By appointment and in accordance with safety rules, the law, and staff instructions. Clear instructions will be provided before your visit.

Is a holster with greater retention always better?

Not necessarily. Retention level should suit the risks, requirements, and training. A mechanism you haven’t practiced with may get in the way.

When should I replace a holster?

If there’s a crack, deformation, loose attachment, faulty retention, or a change in configuration. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
