Before Buying Kydex Concealed Carry Holsters

By Robert Campbell


Currently you are just relishing the fact you have finished acquiring your dream handgun. The next step is to get some practical accessories for it. Quite a few of your friends have suggested that you consider any one of kydex concealed carry holsters available right now in the market. This is probably a good idea but do read on in this article first for some information that you may need to assist.

Before deciding on what brand or model to buy, do make a simple checklist first. A checklist is a valuable management and planning tool that will help keep track of things to consider, and also serve as a reminder of things overlooked or even missed. Since it is always in your best interest to arrive at an informed decision, always use a checklist.

It is important to keep in mind kydex is not a brand in itself but a name for a certain type of material. It is a lightweight thermoplastic material that can stand extreme heat and pressure. In addition, it is highly moldable much like fiberglass but definitely much tougher.

The foremost and most important, if not primary consideration for any holster that you have an eye on is retention. Choose a unit that has high retention properties that will keep the weapon in its lace regardless of sudden motions or jerks even. Retention is something that should not be taken lightly, even no matter how good the holster may look or how popular it is at the market at the moment.

It is also of considerable importance that you choose a holster that you like but one that is also comfortable when you wear it. Get a holster you can wear for extended periods and not even be aware of it. Get a holster that will feel like it is part of your body rather than one which you are always conscious of.

It will also be good to put as part of your decision making checklist the ride and cant adjustability of the holster. The ride is how high or deep the weapon rests while in the saddle, and the can tis the angle by which it rests. You want a holster that is able to adjust thee two not only for additional comfort but for practical purposes and usage as well.

It is always best to get holster specifically made for the gun model or make that you have. This because you will have retention issues if you get a general fir or one size fits all one. Remember that good retention means safety. You may spend a bit more money on one which is made specifically for your gun type, but remember that your safety, and those others around you, can never have a price tag that is too high.

It is also a good idea to ask others with experience in helping you choose a good model and brand. To do this ask around from your community or gun club for tips and suggestions on their experience with kydex holsters. If this is not possible, it is also possible for you to go to online forums that deal with the subject and ask from there, in particular law enforcement forums.
