By Virginia Davis


Right now you are reading this article because you have just bought a new gun and want to buy the best accessories possible. Some of you your gun buddies have suggested that you get one of Kydex concealed carry holsters out there, and you are giving it some thought. In any case before you got out and buy one, then do finish off this article first.

As such before anything else you should know a bit of something of the material called Kydex. The material is a thermoplastic material which is a moldable high temperature resistant one. It is quite a lot like fiberglass except that it is much tougher and lighter. It is also much lighter than leather, and so many will prefer a Kydex one over a leather one.

When looking for a good holster you must prepare some sort of checklist at first, This checklist will ensure that you arrive at a more informed decision by keeping track of things you need to find out and do, and also anything that you may have left out. Since this will be a purchase that will affect your pocket as well as safety, it is wise to prepare a checklist beforehand.

A primary attribute to look out for will be its retention capabilities. It should hold in your gun well enough so that it will not fall out when you make sudden movements or even when jumping. Basically a good product is one that has good retention.

Two very important things to consider apart from retention are the characteristics of the holster are ride height and cant. These two taken together will determine how fast you can draw your weapon. Ride height is how low or high your gun sits in the saddle. The cant is the overall resting angle of the gun while you are carrying it around.

Also considering a molded holster against a general fit one. The molded variety is basically custom fitted to a specific make and model and will prevent accidental firing, particularly if like to carry your gun prepped and ready with a loaded chamber. Kydex can easily be molded into any model and styles out there for you to choose from.

It is also very important to factor in comfort as well in your purchasing decision. Many people buy for looks alone and they overlook comfort. No matter how long it takes, look for one that is comfortable, and one which will feel like you are not carrying anything at all. Do take your time always in finding the most comfortable holster available.

Craftsmanship and quality is something that you should put into mind as well. You would not want to buy an item which will break after a few months or years, but something that will last the ages. Get one that has the possibility of you handing it down to the next generation.
