Quick Overview

This holster is designed for the open carry of 4-to-5 inch semi-automatic pistols in low-threat environments such as security posts or gun ranges. Its primary operational advantage is the vinyl-lined interior, which protects the firearm's finish from wear during repeated drawing and reholstering.

Field Application Steps

Verify firearm is unloaded, then securely attach the holster to a sturdy belt on your strong-side hip.
Insert the unloaded firearm and adjust the front snap closure strap for a taut and secure fit over the firearm.
To draw, establish a full master grip, then use your thumb to decisively unsnap the retention strap and pull the weapon straight up.
Before reholstering, visually inspect the holster opening to ensure it is clear of obstructions.
Guide the firearm back into the holster with your trigger finger indexed straight, then re-engage the snap closure and confirm it is secure.
