Introducing Our Core 5: The Handgun Brands We Build Holsters Around

At our shop, every holster starts with one simple question: Who actually carries this gun? That question led us to create what we call our Core 5—the only five handgun brands we currently design and manufacture holsters for: Glock, Sig Sauer, Smith & Wesson, Springfield, and Canik.

We didn’t pick these names out of a hat. We chose them because they dominate the market for very good reasons—popularity, modularity, and reliability—and because they represent the firearms our customers trust every day. To keep things focused and dependable, we’ve narrowed our offerings to specific models within each line.

Glock remains the gold standard. We build holsters exclusively for the 17, 19, 26, 43, 43X, and 48. These models deliver the simple, rugged design and endless aftermarket support that make Glock the ultimate modular platform. Whether you run a stock setup or a fully customized build with an optic and light, our holsters disappear on your belt while staying rock-solid.

Sig Sauer brings premium engineering to the table—but only where it counts. We do not offer any P320 holsters, as they have been proven to be unreliable in our testing and customer feedback. Instead, we focus solely on the P365 platform. From its micro-compact size to its impressive capacity and shootability, the P365 rewards owners who want serious options in a tiny package. Our holsters are built to keep up—secure retention for red dots, lights, and threaded barrels without extra bulk.

Smith & Wesson delivers classic American reliability through the M&P line. These striker-fired pistols have been proven on ranges, duty belts, and nightstands for generations. We love the M&P’s grip texture and interchangeable backstraps that let shooters dial in comfort, so we design our holsters to match that user-focused philosophy.

Springfield Armory rounds out the traditional side with quality that punches above its price. We focus solely on the Hellcat and Echelon models. Both pistols blend proven ergonomics with modern features—high capacity in a compact frame for the Hellcat, and full-size duty performance for the Echelon. When a customer wants a holster that feels as reliable as the gun itself, these are the ones we support.

Canik joined the Core 5 recently because you asked for it. Customer after customer told us they had switched to the Mete Prime and couldn’t find a holster that fit their needs. We listened. This Turkish-made pistol delivers Glock-like reliability and Sig-like features at a price that makes it accessible to newer shooters and veterans alike. The demand was real, so we made the commitment.

Sticking to these five brands—and their specific models—isn’t a limitation. It’s a promise. By focusing our production on the Core 5, we streamline our workflow, maintain tighter quality control, and keep lead times short. Every holster that leaves our shop has been tested, refined, and perfected specifically for these platforms. No compromises, no “it might fit” disclaimers.

As we grow, we will expand. New brands and models will join the lineup when the time is right and the demand is proven. For now, we’re all in on the Core 5. Because the best holster is the one designed for the gun you actually carry.

If you run one of these platforms, we’ve got you covered—literally. Browse the Core 5 collection and find the holster that disappears on your hip but never leaves your mind. We can’t wait to help you carry with confidence.
