Each FIST holster is HardmoldTM made using 8-9 ounce cowhide so that your gun fits close and comfortable. This HardmoldTM process causes the leather to become rigid enough to hold your gun firmly in the holster until you draw. A dent is also added behind the front of the trigger guard on the back of the holster. This snaps your gun in and holds it securely. All FIST holsters are made from scratch to your specifications requiring applicable drying and finishing times. This custom holster requires 6-8 week production time but we are sure you will agree it is worth the extra wait. Customer feedback has been that a FIST holster far surpasses other previous holster experiences.
Once we found a clip that assured us that the holster would not pull out with the gun we felt comfortable enough to make this beautiful clip holster at a great price. The clip even holds on to pants if you aren't wearing a belt. It's a good way to sample our quality without investing more money. Custom made for your handgun for left or right hand in your choice of a variety of colors.
Also available in Kydex®. Although the FIST specialty is leather holsters there is a place for Kydex® in the FIST line. Many people need a holster that is waterproof or can be worn in climates that would make leather holsters less desirable because of perspiration. Also under particular circumstances, Kydex is the material of choice.
FIST uses Kydex® that is thin enough that it will make a difference in ease of concealment and we also make sure that these holsters fit as well as our leather holsters, very close and comfortable. Our goal is to make a line of holsters that will not have the usual negatives, but use the qualities of strength and adaptability to an advantage. The price is $5 less than leather.
If you choose this holster with the Kydex option, any color choice will be disregarded as the Kydex has no color options.
