Help CenterOur Standard Outside Waistband (OWB) Builder is designed to help you customize a high-quality holster that meets your specific needs. This guide walks you through each step of the customization process, ensuring you get the perfect holster for your firearm.
Step 1: Access the OWB Builder
To begin, navigate to the Standard Outside Waistband Builder on our website. This tool offers a range of customization options, allowing you to tailor your holster to your exact preferences.
Step 2: Select Your Firearm's Make and Model
Next, choose the make and model of your firearm. This ensures that the holster will be precisely molded to fit your specific gun. If you have any questions about compatibility, feel free to reach out to our customer support team via the contact form or live chat.
Step 3: Choose Your Holster Color
Start by selecting the color of your holster. We offer a wide variety of colors to match your style and needs. A full palette of color swatches is available within the builder to help you make your decision.
Step 4: Determine Hand Orientation
Select whether you are left or right-handed. This is crucial as it affects how the holster is oriented on your body.
Step 5: Decide on the Gun Cant
You have the option to add a 10-degree cant to your holster. This slight tilt can make drawing your firearm more natural, depending on your preferred carry position. It’s a personal preference, so choose what feels right for you.
Step 6: Select Belt Attachment Type
- Injection Molded Loop: This loop is used to attach the holster to your belt. The 1.5" option fits standard belts, while the 1.75" option is for wider tactical belts.
- Pancake Loops: These loops allow the holster to sit closer to your body, offering a more secure and discreet carry.
- Speed Clips: Opt for speed clips if you want the ability to remove the holster without taking off your belt.

Step 7: Add or Remove Adjustable Retention
Adjustable retention is available for all of our standard non-lightbearing holsters. While not essential, many customers opt for this feature to further personalize and enhance the fit and security of their holster.

Step 8: Explore Additional Options
Consider any additional options or features that enhance the functionality or convenience of your holster:
- Breakthrough Clean add-on: This optional product includes eco-friendly, military-grade cleaning solvents and lubricants. It’s a great way to keep your firearm in top condition without affecting the holster itself.
- Mag carrier add-on: For a small additional fee, you can include a matching magazine carrier with your order. This carrier will be crafted to perfectly complement your holster, matching its color or pattern, and designed for seamless integration with your holster setup.
Step 9: Review Warranty Information
Our holsters come with a limited manufacturers warranty, covering you against any manufacturing defects. A no-questions-asked lifetime warranty can be purchased for a small fee. If your holster ever breaks, simply provide us with a photo for our records, and we’ll quickly manufacture and ship a replacement at no cost to you.
Step 10: Upgrade to Rush Order
If you need your KYDEX holster or carrier quickly, opt for our Rush Order service. This option prioritizes your order, moving it to the top of our production list for an additional fee per item.
Step 11: Place Your Order
Once you've customized your holster, review all your selections to ensure everything is correct. After confirming your choices, proceed to checkout to finalize your order.
