The Universal Inside the Waistband Series Holsters are designed to accommodate multiple same-sized pistols. The IWBL is for large frame pistols, the IWBM is for medium frame pistols and the IWBS is for small frame pistols. Place the holster inside your pants all the way down until the two belt clips completely encircle your belt. The location of the holster around your waist is based upon personal preference. Retention is achieved by pressure from the user’s belt applied to the holster shell when worn on the body. The unique flexible backing conforms to the user’s body allowing for additional retention. The non-slip surface of the holster backing keeps the holster firmly in place. The Universal IWB Series holsters are designed for many pistols and DO NOT have a standard passive retention mechanism. Refrain from inverting the Universal IWB Series holster when not being worn. RETENTION IS ONLY ATTAINED WHEN THE HOLSTER IS PROPERLY WORN ON THE BODY.

It is the user’s responsibility to make sure that the firearm properly fits the holster at all times. In the event that the holster no longer properly fits the firearm, does not provide the required retention or is defective in any manner, immediately discontinue using the holster. Do not carry a firearm in the holster with the hammer cocked. Always engage the safety. Do not holster or remove your firearm from the holster with your finger on the firearm trigger or hammer. Be very careful and use caution when holstering any firearm with an external hammer to avoid unintentional cocking of the hammer. Immediately after holstering, always check to make sure that the hammer is not in a cocked position. Do not holster or draw the firearm with your finger on the trigger or in the trigger guard. Firearms should be carried with hammer or firing pin on an empty chamber. Always place hand on the handgun and holster when running or performing other vigorous activity.
