Frequently Asked Questions

Will this really fit any gun?
Yes! The 3-piece modular design accommodates firearms from the S&W Bodyguard all the way up to the Desert Eagle .50 — and every combination of light and optic in between.
What keeps my gun from falling out?
Effing magnets. N42 neodymium bar magnets paired with friction that lock your firearm in solid — and will not let go until you decide to draw. No thumb tabs, no clicky buttons, no screws to back out. Just lockup you can feel and a draw that's the same every single time.
How does the magnetic retention work?
We use N42 bar magnets combined with friction to lock your firearm in for safe, daily carry while still allowing for an effortless draw.
Is this holster comfortable for all-day carry?
Absolutely. At just 4 oz, it's one of the lightest holsters available. The Tegris shell bends in the right places without sacrificing anything.
What materials are used?
Only top tier: Bombproof Dupont 500 Cordura, Tegris Milliki Mills 6-layer shell, Berry Compliant spacer mesh, DCC clips, Index thermoplastic hardware, and N42 bar magnets.
