Dara Holsters

Our Custom Quick Ship AIWB Holster Update! What is the  main difference  between our Custom AIWB Holster, and our Custom  Quick Ship  AIWB Holster? The  Custom AIWB Holster  is able to be completely built from the ground up. You can choose from our full selection of 300+ firearm models and select everything from the ride height to the cant angle and so on. The est. wait time is about 2-2.5 weeks. Our  Custom Quick Ship Holster  is available for quite a few firearms (not all) and is offered with a  set ride height and cant angle  (our most popular specs Mid Ride / Straight Draw) and in 3 different colors. You can still choose your belt attachment option, but it's essentially set up for the fastest manufacturing time to get the holster out faster than a regular Custom AIWB Holster order. The est. wait time is about 5 days. And to confuse you even further, we do offer some  Quick Ship AIWB Holsters ! These are in stock ready...

This is a very common question that many new carriers ask in the forums.  The main things you need to successfully carry concealed are: A reliable firearm that you're comfortable shooting. A good sturdy gun belt with at least 2 layers of material. A safe, quality holster. The above mentioned are all you need to successfully carry concealed (or open for that matter) and are not too hard to find.  Good firearms to start out with are single stack 9mm's. They're easily found and numerous in quantity. You can't really go wrong with any of the most popular: Walther PPS, PPS M2, Glock 43, Shield 9mm, XDS 3.3, etc.  Most of the time carriers will start out with a single stack 9mm and work their way up in size once they're confident they can conceal more capacity. A good gunbelt is a bit trickier. Just because a belt has "Tactical" in it's name, does NOT mean it's a good gunbelt. There's nothing "tactical" about a single layer...

Introducing the new gen 5 Glock... for both Glock 19 and Glock 17. These newer generation Glocks feature a flared magwell design towards the bottom of the grip. The finger grooves in the grip have been done away with and a right side slide release make the gen 5's fully ambidextrous, while retaining the reversible mag release from previous generations. Along with some internal upgrades, the gen 5's will also exclusively feature a "nDLC" finish- reportedly tougher than any of Glocks previous finishes. Great news for anyone planning on holstering this firearm! Speaking of Holstering the gen 5 Glock 19 and Glock 17: Dara Holsters now offers Glock 19 and Glock 17 gen 5 Custom Holsters. These are designed to fit the new ambi-slide lock feature and won't wear down your slide lock over time due to unnecessary grinding.
