About this video

McPhee explains the break-in process for new pistol holsters and demonstrates SOB Tactical’s standard and custom holster offerings, including options for pistols with mounted lights. He covers the proper fit standard and shows examples of different holster configurations.

Key takeaways

  • McPhee recommends a break-in period for new holsters using materials like butcher paper wrapped around the pistol for 24 hours, repeating as needed until proper fit is achieved
  • McPhee argues the correct holster fit is when the pistol doesn’t fall out when the holster is inverted upside down
  • McPhee’s company SOB Tactical manufactures both standard holsters for common pistol models and custom holsters designed for pistols with mounted lights
