Holster Buying Guide
A useful comparison starts with your exact model, configuration and the product option you intend to order.
1. Confirm the exact model
Copy the manufacturer, full model name, generation and barrel length from the manufacturer's documentation. Keep suffixes such as MOS, XL, X-Macro and M2.0: similar names do not establish compatibility. Do not estimate barrel length from the overall size or a photograph.
2. Record the accessory setup
Note the exact optic or light model, if fitted. An optic cut does not establish light compatibility. A listing for one light model does not establish compatibility with another. Check the details for the selected product option, particularly on products with multiple model options.
3. Compare styles
| Style | What the label means | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| IWB | Inside the waistband | Listed model, hand orientation and belt-clip dimensions |
| OWB | Outside the waistband | Listed model, belt-loop dimensions and attachment details |
| Convertible | The listing explicitly supports both IWB and OWB | Included attachments and the manufacturer's configuration instructions |
| Designed as a pocket holster | Listed model and product dimensions; an IWB model is not automatically a pocket model |
4. Check belt width and the selected hand
Measure your belt across its width, edge to edge, and compare it with the stated clip or loop limit. Belt width is different from waist size. Check the selected Right, Left or Ambidextrous option and its photographs; do not infer the hand from a mirrored image. If thickness clearance is not stated, ask us before ordering.
5. Review the exact option before checkout
Review the selected model, configuration, color, hand, price and stock status together. A sold-out option may remain visible for comparison but cannot be added to the cart. The finder shows only published products with structured fit information; absence from the results is not confirmation that no suitable product exists.
