Descriptions, Shipping & Warranty

Our Pancake Holsters are unique in that they are designed to be worn inside or outside the waistband.  They incorporate a gentle curve that "hugs" your hip and tucks in close...not a flat panel with bent "wings".  It is approximately a 20% and 80% mold, meaning approximately 80% of the guns/mags width faces away from your body for comfort and stability.  All of our holsters have sweeping curves and polished edges.  This minimizes snags on clothing as you move that could cause printing or inadvertent display of your weapon.   You choose your primary method of carry (inside or outside) and the type of hardware.  As an option, you can then choose the hardware for your secondary carry preference.  Your choice of right or left hand carry, straight up or forward cant, and multiple color choices/combinations to truly make your holster the way you want!   Our appendix specific IWB Pancake Holsters are the "PUP".  

OWB Holster - refers to a holster worn Outside the Waist Band of your pants,  normally on the side of the hip or just behind.  

IWB Holster - a holster worn Inside the Waist Band of your pants, also on the hip or just behind, made in the same way as the OWB.

Appendix IWB Holster - a holster worn IWB directly in the front or just to the left or right of center of the groin area.

Printing - when the firearm or other object being carried concealed is visible through clothing by way of snagging, bunching, or the outer garment being just too damn tight!

Fomi Clip - Standard polymer IWB belt clip.

Soft Loops - Rubber coated nylon loops with snaps used to secure your holster to your belt.  

Ulti Clip - A metal clip device that clamps to your waist band, pocket, strap, etc. to secure a holster without a belt.   Working similar to clips on suspenders, they are available in several sizes.

Raven Claw /Mod Wing- an optional device added to Appendix holsters that presses against the wearers belt, pushing the holster/firearm against the body to reduce printing and increase concealment.   Both work well, and are comfortable.

Our iwb and owb fold over holsters are built just like the name describes.  Using quality split molds your holster is vacuum formed, folded in half, and secured along the opposite side using rubber bushings and adjustable hardware.  This allows you to adjust the tension/retention the holster places on your weapon or other item, such as fishing equipment. 

All of our products designed for fishing are assembled using only stainless steel or brass hardware to resist corrosion in the marine environment.  They feature either full open bottoms or molded in drains to prevent water collection and air circulation.  Unlike leather or nylon holsters/sheaths, our kydex material does not retain or absorb moisture.  It is important however, to allow your tool/s to dry or lubricate them periodically to prevent corrosion.  

To clean your kydex holster we have found the best way is a spritz of Armor All inside and out, then wipe down with a clean cloth or paper towel.
