The Sticky Holsters Medium Sticky Holster for Single-Stack Sub-Compact Pistols is a clipless, ambidextrous concealment holster designed for inside-the-waistband (IWB) and pocket-style carry. Its “sticky” outer material is intended to help the holster stay in place through friction and pressure, while a padded interior helps protect the firearm and improve comfort.
Key Features
Clipless retention concept: Uses a high-friction outer surface to help the holster stay put without belt clips, loops, or snaps.
Ambidextrous use: Symmetrical construction supports both right- and left-handed draw setups.
Closed-end design: Helps keep lint and debris out of the muzzle area while also helping keep lubricant off clothing.
Conforming fit: Body heat and use are intended to help the holster gradually form to the firearm’s shape for a more stable fit over time.
Lightweight build: Designed to minimize bulk and weight for everyday carry comfort.
