Classic Duty Protection with a Scratch-Free Interior Standard nylon holsters can be abrasive, slowly wearing down the finish of your slide with every draw. The Rothco Hip Holster solves this problem by integrating a smooth Vinyl Lined Interior. This protective layer acts as a barrier between the rugged polyester outer shell and your firearm, ensuring that your Beretta, Colt, or Glock remains scratch-free while offering a smooth, snag-free draw.

Designed for versatility and reliability, this belt pouch is sized to fit a wide variety of 4” and 5” Automatic Pistols. Whether you are carrying a standard duty sidearm or a compact concealable piece, the Adjustable Front Snap Closure allows you to customize the retention strap length for a secure, confident fit. Built from durable Polyester Webbing, this holster is engineered to withstand the rigors of daily use by law enforcement, security personnel, and range enthusiasts.

Key Features

  • Vinyl Lined Interior: A smooth internal lining protects the gun’s finish from scratches and wear, ensuring a clean draw every time.
  • Adjustable Retention: The front snap closure strap adjusts to accommodate different slide lengths and hammer configurations.
  • Universal Auto Fit: Compatible with most 4-inch and 5-inch barrel semi-automatics, including the Beretta 92, Glock 17/19, and Colt 1911.

Why It Matters The vinyl lining is the standout feature here. If you care about keeping your pistol looking new, or if you carry a blued steel gun that scratches easily, this lining is a distinct upgrade over standard unlined nylon pouches.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the Rothco Hip Holster have a vinyl lining instead of standard nylon?▸

The vinyl-lined interior protects your firearm's finish from scratches and abrasion that occur with repeated draws. Standard nylon holsters can gradually wear down blued steel or polymer finishes, especially on slides and frames. The Rothco Hip Holster's smooth vinyl barrier prevents this damage while ensuring a snag-free draw, making it ideal for officers and security personnel who carry Beretta 92, Glock 17/19, or Colt 1911 pistols daily and want to preserve their sidearm's appearance.

Will the Rothco 10544 holster fit both my Glock 19 and my Beretta 92FS?▸

Yes. The Rothco Hip Holster (SKU 10544) is designed to accommodate most 4-inch and 5-inch barrel semi-automatic pistols. The adjustable front snap closure strap lets you customize retention length to fit different slide profiles and hammer configurations, so both your Glock 19 and Beretta 92FS will secure properly. The polyester webbing construction provides universal compatibility across duty-sized autos.

Can I mount this holster on a standard 2-inch duty belt for patrol use?▸

Absolutely. The Rothco Hip Holster is built with belt loops designed for standard law enforcement and security duty belts. The durable polyester webbing construction withstands the rigors of daily patrol wear, and the quick-access snap closure allows rapid disengagement during critical incidents. It's duty-ready for open carry applications by police, corrections officers, and armed security personnel.

How does the vinyl lining in the Rothco holster compare to leather-lined alternatives?▸

The vinyl lining offers superior scratch resistance and moisture resistance compared to leather, without the break-in period or maintenance requirements. Unlike leather, vinyl won't absorb sweat or humidity, won't stiffen in cold weather, and won't require conditioning treatments. For tactical environments where durability and low maintenance matter, the Rothco Hip Holster's vinyl interior outperforms traditional leather linings while keeping your pistol's finish pristine.

Is the Rothco Hip Holster suitable for concealed carry or only open carry?▸

This holster is optimized for open carry on duty belts. While the polyester construction is durable and the vinyl lining protects your firearm, the design is a belt pouch intended for visible carry by law enforcement and security professionals. For concealed carry, you'd want an IWB (inside-waistband) or appendix holster. The Rothco 10544 excels in patrol, range, and uniformed security applications where open carry is standard.
