SOB Condom Holster Fitting
About this video
McPhee demonstrates his method for breaking in a Kydex holster (which he refers to as a ‘condom holster’) to achieve the proper fit and retention. He explains the tightness standard he uses and walks through his gradual stretching technique using wrapped materials to customize the holster to his firearm.
Key takeaways
- McPhee’s retention standard: a loaded holster should hold the firearm when held upside down using only the weight of a magazine
- McPhee’s break-in method involves wrapping the gun with Saran Wrap (or alternative materials) and incrementally stretching the holster over multiple sessions to achieve custom fit
- The goal is a holster that provides secure retention while allowing easy, smooth draw
