Before You Go And Buy A Kydex Concealment Holster

By Helen Patterson


Right now as you are reading this you have just newly acquired your concealed carry license or permit plus a new firearm as well. Ad to carry your new firearm around outdoors and concealed will require a holster of course. Some friends and colleagues of yours may have suggested that you get a Kydex concealment holster and you are mulling through the idea. However, prior to your final decision, do read on in this article to find the best holster for yourself.

Kydex is basically the name of the thermoplastic compound. It is now general y used for holster applications as against leather, as it is a bit more durable and lighter as well. Compared to fiberglass, which other holsters are also made out of, it is more flexible and tougher as well. Regardless of what it is going to be made out of, there are some key items you need to look for in a good one.

First thing to look out for is its retention capabilities. Retention is basically how well it keeps or holds on to your firearm. You definitely do not want your gun falling out when you do sudden movements such as jumping and running. Retention is a major key to a good holster.

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 a molded one should be much more practical than buying just a general fit one. A molded one is much safer for it will prevent accidental firing as caused by non molded ones, especially if one is fond of carrying loaded chambers. Molded ones can easily be found made out of Kydex and available for a wide range of handgun models.

Comfort is also key to having a concealment holster. In fact, the more comfortable it is the likelier you are to carry it on a regular basis. One that is comfortable for one person is not always comfortable for another. Do not buy one for looks alone or basic functionality, do buy one also for comfort. With all the different ones out there you will get one sooner or later, all you need to do is to keep looking.

You should also look at craftsmanship and quality. These are two very important things to consider especially if you want to buy one that will last you for quite a while. You should buy one with the aim of keeping it long enough to hand it down later on. Quality may cost a bit more, but is definitely much more worth it. Always put quality side by side with functionality.

And as a final piece of advice, it may be good to get one that is fully customized to your needs. A customized one will answer all the attributes necessary in a good holster and thus will save you time in searching for one in the market.
