Some Things To Know Before Buying That Kydex Concealment Holster

By Helen Patterson


You probably just got your new firearm and your concealed carry license and just dying to take out your new firearm with you. For this you will definitely need a holster of some sort. A few of your friends have suggested that you get a Kydex concealment holster. Before you do go out and buy one, do read on in this article of what is the best for you.

Kydex is basically the name of the thermoplastic compound. It is now general y used for holster applications as against leather, as it is a bit more durable and lighter as well. Compared to fiberglass, which other holsters are also made out of, it is more flexible and tougher as well. Regardless of what it is going to be made out of, there are some key items you need to look for in a good one.

A major key factor to a good holster is retention. One should always keep your gun in place all the time despite any sudden actions or movements that you do such as running or jumping for example. A good one has good retention capabilities.

How far it can be adjusted in terms of ride height is also key to a perfect and comfortable fit. In relation to ride height, the cant should also be adjustable. The cant is the angle by which the gun sits inside the holster. Being able to adjust the cant will mean a faster or slower draw depending on the adjustment itself.

Getting a molded one should be much more practical than buying just a general fit one. A molded one is much safer for it will prevent accidental firing as caused by non molded ones, especially if one is fond of carrying loaded chambers. Molded ones can easily be found made out of Kydex and available for a wide range of handgun models.

Comfort if something that you must put importance on as well. For if it is not comfortable you will not wear it all the time. Comfort can be a fickle thing for one that is comfortable for one is not so for the other. Keep looking for one until you finally get one that you feel like it is your second skin.

Quality and craftsmanship is something that you should consider as well. You want something that will last longer than you and something you can pass on down to your son or daughter, when the time comes of course. If you are going to buy something, you might as well invest in a little quality. Nothing beats quality if it means that it will last a long time and give you value for money.

And as a final piece of advice, it may be good to get one that is fully customized to your needs. A customized one will answer all the attributes necessary in a good holster and thus will save you time in searching for one in the market.
