Before You Go And Buy A 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.

The material Kydex is basically a thermoplastic compound that is lightweight and very durable compared to many leather holsters out there. It is very much like fiberglass except it is a bit more flexible and a lot tougher as well. Whether you choose leather or Kydex there are some things that you need to look out for in a good holster as well.

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.

Two key items are also important in carry holsters, which is the cant and the riding height. The cant is the angle by which the gun will be sitting inside while it is carried, and it will affect how fast one can draw the weapon. The riding height means how high the gun can be carried while it is in the carriage. Both of these characteristics should be adjustable in the one you have in mind.

Getting one that is molded rather one that is a general fit for all models is much better in the long run. A molded on will ensure that no accidental firings will occur, which can happen when carrying loaded chambers. Ones made out of Kydex will have more varieties for different kinds of models of firearms and will be found much easier than ones made of leather.

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 if it is possible do get one that is fully customized for your firearm and for your own fit and body size. By doing this you will get the perfect concealment holster that money cannot buy for it will be made just for you.
