How long will it take to get my holster
Shipping times are generally a shot in the dark there is no way to know how long it will take to ship. Currently we are shipping between 10 and 12 weeks. With the current political atmosphere everybody is buying personal protection equipment. DME holsters is not a production shop, we are a custom shop. Generally speaking we don’t make it till you order it!

Let’s talk about Carry position.
Appendix carry
Simply what it sounds like the weapon is carried on the front of your body between your groin and your left or right hip. It’s for the physically fit people. It doesn’t work too well with a beer belly. Belt clips, soft belt loops or J hooks are excellent choices for this position.
3 to 4 o’clock for right-handed people.
8 to 9 o’clock for left-handed people.
This works well for everybody. I highly recommend the belt clip for this position. Soft belt loops & J hooks in my opinion work very well here. Look at your pants your second belt loop is most likely at about 3:30 position. Your J Hook will hook behind that belt loop and your holster will have a tendency to slidebackwards. A belt clip will hook in front of that loop and keep your holster in place at the 3 o’clock position. However, some of you will still need to use the soft belt loops or J hooks, because they are tuckable. Belt clips are not. If you have to have something that is tuckable. I would recommend the J hook.
Small of the back.
You are carrying your weapon at the 6 o’clock position in the middle of your back. I Definitely don’t recommend it. If you fall on your back or get pushed into something, you’re going to hurt your back.

What does IWB stand for?
IWB/OWB Belts, Belt loops, clips and J Hooks and everything else
Belts, it’s imperative that you wear a high-quality belt.
IWB Attaching Hardware
#1 The Ulti Clip
By far the best clip hands down. It works on any type of clothing Clip it on your jeans put your belt on over extremely concealable. It’s tuckable easy on and off very convenient and easy to use. For the lady’s clip in to your purse? yoga pants? The only thing I don’t like is they do not offer an offset clip. So when you attach it under the barrel it has to be built up with washers. Also they like them $11.99 each
Used for the Standard AIWB line of holsters.
#2 Soft Belt loops
Are the second best overall, with pull the dot snaps very secure. Used with a strut as shown they are tuckable.
Used for the Standard AIWB line of holsters.
Can also be mounted directly to the holster (Not tuckable)
Used for the Standard IWB line of holsters.
They are adjustable to accommodate about 1.25″ to 2.00″ belt.
#3 J Hooks
Coming in at third in my opinion. J hooks are tuckable can be mounted on the barrel or under. Very easy to put on. Very secure in holding on to your belt. avabile in 1.5″ or 1.75″.
Used for the Standard AIWB line of holsters.
#4 The FOMI
This is the industry standard for IWB holsters. Comes in 1.5″ or 1.75″ Very easy to put on and take off. The FOIM is not tuckable. If you put on and take of your holster a lot during the day, this is the way to go. But user beware if not correctly sized to your belt or mounted to the holster, your holster could come out when you draw. That being said it is still the industry standard you just need to be mindful of it.
#5 Metal Clips
There are tuckable can be mounted on or under the barrel.
You can also order extra belt clips or J hooks, it’s not very hard to change them out.
OWB Attaching Hardware
For the Standard OWB Holster I personally recommend the Long Duty Drop & off set with the adjustable SR loop. If you decide you don’t want your holster to ride that low you can remove the Long Duty Drop and attach the Adjustable SR Loop directly to the holster. As always if you have any questions please feel free to call us at 775-235-8520
Add this Long Duty Drop & Offset to your Standard OWB holster you can drop your holster approximately 2 1/2 to 3 inches lower than your belt
Standard OWB Holster, comes with the large TeK-Loc or the Adjustable SR Loop. Size is adjustable from approximately 3/4′ to 2 1/4″. When mounted to the holster your belt will be right around the trigger guard maybe a little higher then the trigger guard depending on your gun. Dimensions of the Tek Loc are 3″ x 2″.
Add the Long Duty Drop & Offset to your Standard OWB to lower your weapon 2 to 3 inches.
This is the Adjustable SR Loop. Belt size is adjustable from approximately 3/4′ to 2 1/4″. When mounted to the holster your belt will be right around the trigger guard maybe a little higher then the trigger guard depending on your gun. Dimensions of the Tek Loc are 3″ x 3 3/4″.
Add the Long Duty Drop & Offset to your Standard OWB to lower your weapon 2 to 3 inches.
This is the standard drop with an adjustable SR Loop. Trigger guard and drop are the same as the long drop. The long Drop has one more mounting point on the barrel which in my opinion makes it more sturdy.
Standard SR Loop mounts directly to the holster available and multiple belt sizes
What does AIWB stand for?
Single attaching point under the barrel.
Fixed attachment point under the barrel.
Under the barrel attachment points require offset J hooks or soft belt loops.
Nothing for you to worry about here, once you select the attaching point. We will know if it is offset or not.
Single attachment point on the barrel
Fixed attaching point on the barrel.
On the barrel attachment point requires J hooks or soft belt loops.
All holsters come with adjustable retention & are tuckable

Fixed attachment point
The user has no ability to adjust the cant on the fixed option the cant will be 90°.
What does OWB stand for?
Standard OWB Taco Holsters
What is tuckable?
Hardware screws & such
Not a lot of choices here.
1) Stock screw set is just a Phillips head screw and binding post.
2) Phillips head screw & finish washer, adds a nice touch to your holster.
3) Cap head screw and finish washer, adds the finishing touch to your holster.
If you’re not sure what you want you can of course purchase a hardware pack.

Testimonials
The last holster you’ll ever buy I bought an iwb holster for my xd .45 service model when their store was still on eBay. I was new to kydex and still unsure about it. This is by far the best holster I own. It’s durable, comfortable and does not require two hands to reholster. The sweat guard keeps your gun off your body and dry. The cant also enforces good hand position when drawing your firearm. I hope they will make one for a G.I 1911. Also great price and custom feel without the custom cost.
I purchased a DME IWB holster several months ago and have been totally in love with it. I have purchased 7 other IWB holsters and they were either too bulky, uncomfortable, didn't retain the pistol properly, or didn't release it when drawing. I have been using the DME holster now exclusively and it fits the my Kimber Pro Crimson Carry II perfectly. It is so comfortable, I forget I am wearing it and it performs flawlessly. Thank you for a great product. I am a NRA certified pistol instructor and I only recommend your holster for my students.
Kimber Ultra Carry II
I own many holsters from leather IWBs to pancackes to hybrids. This holster is by far my favorite. Fit and finish are sot on.. retention was perfect right out of the box. Kydex used is top of the line. Belt clip and 15 degree cant are perfect. What can I say, this has been the only concealed carry holster I use(daily) since I received it. Buy this holster now, you won’t regret it. In fact you`ll want one for all of your weapons.
Extremely pleased with my new DME holster. I have not carried as much as I would like, because I have not found a comfortable holster…..
Until now! This is a super high quality /well made product and most importantly…. comfortable!
It fit my .38 S&W Airwweight snubnose perfectly.
Great customer service & quick delivery..hassle free.
Plus, made in USA..what more could you ask?
I will be purchasing additional DME holsters for my other handguns as well.

Ruger lcr 357 featherlight iwb. Holster is very light very compact and easily to concealed. Awesome workmanship it fit my weapon like a glove. For them to build a holster with a lasermax attachment they did outstanding job. Communication with the seller was the best I have ever experienced. I look forward to doing business with this company in the near future.
