Detroit Holster is a major innovator in tactical gear, providing inside-the-waistband and outside-the-waistband holsters to suit the sophisticated needs of firearm enthusiasts and pros alike. Their products are delicately made for functionality and comfort, hence popular with so many.
Among the top models of this brand is the Detroit Holster 8 Mile IWB Concealment Holster. Built from a single piece of .08 Kydex, this holster manages to strike a perfect balance between definition and durability. It can be custom colored from standard black Calcutta and is molded perfectly to the specified firearm. One of the big features it has is the user-adjustable cant, which transitions from a straight draw to a 15-degree forward/FBI cant; there are also custom options for this. All high-quality Chicago-style screws with rubber bushings allow precise adjustments in retention so the firearm stays put, but is still under your command.
The holster also incorporates a sweat/body shield that separates the handgun from the user—resulting in added long-term comfort and allowing for even more abuse than normal for years to come. All edges are rounded, hand-sanded, and polished smooth. The design allows for deep placement of the weapon; however, other ride heights are available upon request by the customer. The magazine release is left uncovered on purpose unless the customer requests it be covered. This is a design feature as some covers over this area tend to inadvertently release the magazine on occasion.
There are a few different belt clip options available for the Detroit Holster, including the very popular FOMI Polymer Clip. With an injection-molded design and reverse tab for secure attachment and easy removal, the Monoblock dual-steel construction of the Monoblock Gear Clip presents a low-profile, non-reflective finished option that can be worn without or with a belt. The UltiTuck clip has versatility: with beltless carry, the cant is adjustable in a tuckable design, thus being a favorite of users who have concealment as the most important priority.
Another top-of-the-line product within the catalog, the Metro holster, is primarily designed for OWB use but can be reconfigured for IWB carry when clips are attached. It boasts a 90/10 split and is built up from two pieces of .08 Kydex, with most models having the rear piece upgraded to .093″. This holster is also set up for user-adjustable retention and cant, in addition to a sweat/body shield and rounded edges for added comfort. Included in this model are the very popular “Speed Clip” belt clips, which fit up to 1.75″ belts. These clips allow for quick attachment and a very secure hold.
One customer, Chris, provided a testimonial to describe Detroit Holster products: “Something of exceptionally high quality and craftsmanship. Having owned more than a dozen Kydex holsters, the Detroit Holster is a work of art. Even my old favorites fall short in comparison.”.
The New Grip Claw: Aggressive pivot and tuck for preventing printing in the 8 Mile UltiClip Version. Designed for larger guns and with magazines, concealment will be easier. Grip Claw is designed with adjustable retention screws/posts and is compatible with several belt clip models, including the FOMI clip and a couple of different UltiClip models.
Each Detroit Holster is crafted in Michigan, ensuring artisan work and detail intensity in every stage of the production process. This process of customization, to fit a majority of the lasers and lights on the market, only sweetens the pot for professionals and amateurs alike in the search for comfortable concealment solutions.
