Why Dara Holsters?

Image
More Choices Dara Holsters was based off the idea that if we can offer it, we should offer it. This idea has brought us to where we are now, offering absolutely everything we can to our customers. If we don't offer it, it's safe to assume that nobody else does either.  We have over 290 firearm options, over 120 light/laser options, and 32 holster styles & packages to choose from. Each holster offers 9 color choices, 6 belt attachment options, 3 ride heights and 9 cant angles. Build a holster from the ground up that's perfect for you . Don't pick one that's pre-made and hope it works . Superior Attachments All Dara Holsters belt attachments are made in house at our North Carolina manufacturing facility located at 4120 Wendell Blvd. Wendell, NC 27591 USA. Each one goes through several quality checks before it's considered for assembly. We do not use cheap imported attachments, nor do we use inferior injection molded attachments that br...

Inside the Waistband Holsters

Image
Inside the Waistband Holsters Pictured above is our standard Inside the Waistband Holster. It has all of the most common specs: Right handed, Black, Mid ride, straight draw and a 1.5" black belt clip. It is also made for one of our most commonly carried firearms-- the Glock 43. PRICE: This is the base mode holster for $53.99-- prices will go up according to color (up to $4.00 up-charge), belt attachment (soft loops are $11.99), and light attachment (ranging from $15-$30). We often gets asked why we charge extra for light or laser attachments, this is because not only does it take up a bit more material and hardware, but also because certain light/laser attachments can take hours to prepare when creating the mold. LIGHTS & LASERS: Below are some of our Inside the Waistband holsters that accommodate our most popular light or laser attachments: While we cannot possibly photograph every holster that gets sent out, we do try to provide a variety of p...

Handmade Holsters: Why the Long Wait Time?

Image
If you've ever been on the hunt for a custom holster , I can only imagine how many websites you browsed before finding "the one". There are so many options now a days, that they all start blending together after a while. A couple of things that Custom Kydex Holster Companies have in common right off the bat: long lead times. When the business first started, I remember watching the guy on the Youtube channel NutnFancy explain that all of the good holster companies will have a 3-5 week wait time. If they don't then they probably aren't worth buying from. This may not always be true, but it does hold true in most cases. If the lead time is shorter than 3-5 weeks, the company is either:

Kimber 1911 OWB Holster

Image
Here's a Kimber 1911 OWB Holster from an order last week. Left hand draw, full muzzle coverage, 7.5° forward cant.      For anyone who has ordered from us in the last few months, you are probably very aware of our long wait time (3-5 weeks). We try to post the wait time on every possible page that our customer might land on, but we still get the occasional "Where the heck is my holster?!" after a week or so. I realize that there are many videos on youtube that make what we do look very easy. It looks like you can take any blue gun mold or firearm, wrap it up in heated Kydex, press it, and voila! you have a holster.      This is what a lot of custom holster companies actually do, which may be why some places have a shorter wait time. But be assured that if this is he case, your holster won't work out very well. If you don't here a very pronounced 'click' when you holster your firearm, the mold was not done correctly.   ...

What I Look for in a Holster

Image
     Here is a diagram of the Tuckable IWB Holster from Dara Holsters. To me, this holster has everything you could ever need or think of for an inside the waistband holster. If you are new to concealed carry, or simply want to start shopping around for a new holster consider what's important to you before you buy. There are so many different materials and styles, but not every holster has everything you're looking for.      For those that have called in to the shop, there's a 95% chance that I have answered your phone call. My name's Dana, I'm in charge of sales and administration and I spend a nice chunk of the day talking with customers, answering questions and listening to stories. These are the times when I learn a lot about other products and my confidence in Dara Holsters grows.      The other day a customer had called in complaining of his former holster that- wait for it- broke in half because of constant bending...

The Life Cycle of a Belt Clip

Image
      During our ventures throughout the forums we have come across a few potential customers asking if we have any alternative to our belt attachments. They were wary of Kydex loops and clips, because some they had previously owned had broken.       I have to say, I have never encountered this problem in a single holster we have produced. Our clips are made from scratch using .093" Boltaron/Holstex as opposed to the weak .080 alternative. We have a precise regime that we follow to ensure the highest quality belt attachments on the market. We do not sell injection mold clips or loops that come from a do-it-yourself kit, as they will never be as strong as a Dara Holster belt attachment.      Each of the stages you see above are done by hand and by only one person to ensure quality work. All of our belt attachments are guaranteed for life with a no B.S. warranty. However, in our two years of business we have...
