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:

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...

The Truth about Kydex Holsters

Image
I stumbled upon this article recently about Kydex plastic, and the truth about kydex holster companies. It explains what kydex is, and answers the questions you never thought to ask. In shorts, some companies that label themselves "KYDEX Holster Makers" do not actually use legit Kydex. They use a proprietary blend and call it the good stuff. So make sure, before you spend the money to purchase a Kydex holster, that you are actually getting real Kydex. This article also explained why some bigger companies that use injection molded plastics for their holsters are inferior to the quality of real Kydex, and why they cost less. Click here to read more.
