Holster Care & Maintenance
Keeping your holster clean will maximize its lifespan and protect your firearm.
We recommend:
- Wiping the holster regularly with a damp cloth
- Cleaning with mild soap and warm water when necessary
- Removing lint, dust, and debris from the interior
- Inspecting clips and hardware before use
- Verifying retention periodically
- Use Blue LokTite on threads
If hardware becomes loose, tighten it immediately before carrying.
Boltaron and Kydex are extremely durable but prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures can cause deformation.
Avoid:
- Leaving the holster on a dashboard
- Direct sunlight for extended periods
- Enclosed vehicles during excessive heat
If you must leave your holster in a vehicle, place it in a shaded, well-ventilated area whenever possible.

Holster Fit & Carry
No.
We generally do not recommend Small of Back carry because it:
- Can increase the risk of back injury during a fall
- Creates a more difficult draw stroke
- May reduce firearm accessibility in defensive situations
Most users experience better concealment and comfort with appendix or strong-side carry.
Any holster will eventually produce finish wear through normal use.
Kydex itself is softer than the metal finish on your firearm.
Most finish wear actually comes from:
- Dirt
- Sand
- Lint
- Debris trapped inside the holster
Keeping both your firearm and holster clean significantly reduces unnecessary wear.
No.
Even minor dimensional differences between firearm models can affect:
- Retention
- Draw consistency
- Safety
- Trigger guard coverage
Always use a holster designed specifically for your firearm model.
We're always expanding our product lineup.
If your firearm isn't currently available, contact us with the make and model. Customer demand helps determine which new models are added to our production schedule.
Light-bearing holsters retain the firearm differently than standard holsters.
