## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this holster compatible with my weapon light?**
A: If your firearm has a weapon-mounted light, you must select the Compact Light option. The No Light option fits firearms without lights only. Check the Light Fitment Chart—only listed lights are supported.

**Q: Is this holster compatible with optics or red dot sights?**
A: This holster is optics compatible with most red dot sights that don’t extend past the rear of the optic mount. Oversized optics or those with rear overhangs may cause fitment issues—check your firearm setup before ordering.

**Q: Will this holster work with suppressor-height sights?**
A: Yes, this holster is compatible with suppressor-height sights. It’s designed to accommodate most elevated front sights commonly used with optics or threaded barrels—no trimming or modification needed.

**Q: How do I know if this holster fits my gun?**
A: Check the first bullet point and the gun fitment image (image #2) in the listing. It lists all supported gun models for this holster. If your firearm isn't listed, it is not compatible.

**Q: Can I carry this holster inside the waistband (IWB) or outside the waistband (OWB)?**
A: Yes, this holster supports multiple carry positions. Use it inside the waistband (IWB), outside the waistband (OWB), appendix, or cross draw. Easily customize the cant and ride height for your preferred carry style.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product.

I have a Hellcat Pro and it fits perfectly. Great retention. Wore it all day and felt comfortable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I would’ve given it 5 stars…
*by D***T on November 3, 2025*

First off, the accessories it comes with is awesome! Lots of it however, this is NOT at ALL an iwb holster, wayyyyy to damn thick and heavy. I’ve been carrying this for over 7 months now and have seen noticeable wear in my belt because of sagging due to the bulky design of the holster and it is uncomfortable to wear, however, if you need an OWB holster for the range this is definitely pretty nice and does the job, I would recommend against however using it as your open carry because there’s no retention system and you might get your piece snatched lol.
