Here is a custom holster for a KelTec PF9 with a Viridian Laser attachment. It is a black carbon fiber inside the waistband with shirt tuck capability and Viridian enhanced combat readiness (ECR). Here is a custom Level II Duty holster for a Glock 17. It is coyote brown kydex with a light and laser attachment. This holster features the older version of our OWB paddles. You can see the newer, more compact model below. Here we have a custom black carbon fiber custom kydex holster for a Springfield 1911. This OWB features the Viridian ECR capability and adjustable cant belt system. 

ECR COMPATIBILITY (VIRIDIAN ONLY): UNLIKE MOST OTHER CUSTOM HOLSTERS, OUR ECR IS DELIVERED BY A (ni) PLATED N48 GRADE NEODYMIUM MAGNET. OUR MAGNETS ARE PERMANENTLY ATTACHED WITH OUR MELONITE FINISHED HARDWARE, NOT GLUED IN AND WAITING TO FALL OUT LIKE THE OTHER GUYS. FOR A HOLSTER WITH TRUE ENHANCED COMBAT READINESS, YOU HAVE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE.  Our Viridian ECR capability is only available with a Viridian laser attachment. The magnet is permanently attached to the holster, so when you withdraw your firearm our technology automatically switches your laser on for combat readiness.

Here two of the four holsters given to RangeHot.com for review. The holster on the left is a Level II Duty OWB for a Colt 1911 5" in our basic black kydex. The second is an OWB for a Glock 21.Recently we tested the endurance of our holsters by running one over with an F150. The holster held up perfectly, not to our surprise. We often get asked ' Why not a leather or nylon holster?' Unlike leather, Boltaron and Kydex will not decay, rot, dry out or absorb moisture. The acids in natural and treated leather if left in contact with your equipment will cause corrosion. Nylon is weak in its ability to retain your weapon without the use of cumbersome retaining straps. This material is many times more durable, withstanding punishment that over time would destroy even the best nylon or leather gear.

Here is one of our custom IWB concealment holsters for a Keltec PF-9 w/a Viridian ECR laser & shirt tuck capability in black carbon fiber. There's no denying that this holster is a work of art, but what's more impressive is the functionality.

Here are some pictures of our new paddle design for our OWB Custom Holsters. They are smaller and more streamline. These are in our black carbon fiber pattern. For more visit: DaraHolsters.com
