By Robert Campbell


Right now you are currently on this article since you have just bought a new sidearm for yourself. You are all excited to get accessories for it, and your friends have suggested kydex concealed carry holsters for your use. This sounds like a good idea but first you may have to finish this article first for some information to help you out.

It is a very good idea at this point to prepare some kind of checklist, whether written down or mentally remembered to help you. It will help you keep track of things you need to consider, and remind you of things that you may have missed. When trying to make an informed decision, always use a checklist.

First keep in mind that kydex is not a brand of any sort. It is basically a highly durable thermoplastic material that can withstand great heat and extremely pliable. It has the pliant properties of plastic and fiberglass but a lot tougher. Likewise more importantly, it is also lightweight.

A prime thing to look out for is the retention property of the holster model you have in mind. It must be able to put the weapon in its place despite sudden movements like jerking or even jumping. Ensure that it has good retention properties for the purposes of safety.

Do factor in comfort also as part of your purchasing decision. A good holster is not only one that has good retention but one that you love wearing as well. Get one that is so comfortable that you will not even be aware that it is there, even with extended use.

Adjustability of ride and cant is also important. You should be able to adjust the depth of the gun in the saddle as well as the cant of it. The cant is the angle by which it rides when you carry it throughout. Both of these should be adjustable not only for comfort but practicality as well.

Do choose a holster that I model specific and actually made for the make of weapon that you own. Do not get a one size fits all unit, as these will sometimes have the worse retention properties of all and it will affect your overall safety. Model specific holsters may be a bit more expensive, but you never compromise safety.

To assist you even further in making your purchase a good one, it might not be a bad idea to ask around from other gun owners who may have kydex holsters. If you cannot get a hold of such people, then do go online and look for forums regarding the topic at hand. Law enforcement forums are also a good source of important information regarding the topic.
