When choosing a holster for your gun one of the first questions people ask themselves is do they want a kydex or a leather holster.  We want to show you the pros and cons of the two.  We believe here at Custom Tactical Innovations that kydex holsters are superior to leather holster in many ways, including most importantly durability. There is really no comparison is the durability between a kydex holster and leather holster, no matter how well made and how beautiful the leather holster may be if you are carrying it regularly it will wear out and once worn out potentially not protect your gun correctly.  A kydex holster is not gonna wear out if made correctly and will always provide protection for your firearem.  Another advantage to kydex over leather is all the custom options you have with a kydex holster when you buy a custom kydex holster (not some universal fit one).  You have so many options to choose from with a kydex holster to truly make it a one of a kind, and fit your body type comfortably while also fitting your exact carrying needs. Some people will say a leather holster is more comfortable to carry but if you get a well made custom kydex holster, and carry it to fit your body and comfort kydex holsters can be very comfortable to carry on top of the superior durability.  Most people believe you will get more holster wear with a kydex holster compared to a leather holster, and that is true to a certain point depending on some factors. First it depends on how your kydex holster is built, if it is a true custom fit to your firearm it will not wear as bad as many think, obvious over time any holster will cause holster wear.  Another factory is how tight you keep your retention on your kydex holster, on a true custom kydex holster you will be able to adjust the retention level to what you want.  One thing you can do as well to help prevent holster wear and can be used with kydex and leather holsters is use a holster lubricant such as quick draw.  Hopefully this will help make your holster decisions easier, and please contact us for all your custom kydex holster needs.
