Paddle Attachment: The paddle attachment allows for easy, comfortable on-and-off wear, without the need to remove your belt. It’s ideal for those who prefer to quickly remove or adjust their holster without hassle.

Setup & Best Practices
Belt Selection: Ensure your 1.5" or 1.75" gun belt is sturdy enough to hold the holster firmly. For best results, use a stiff belt to prevent the paddle from shifting during movement.
Positioning: The paddle holster can be worn at 3 o’clock or 4 o’clock for right-hand draw (mirror position for left-hand draw). Find the position that suits your body type and clothing for comfort and efficient access.
Retention Adjustment: Test the retention system and make any needed adjustments to ensure a secure fit while maintaining ease of draw.
Dry Practice: Perform dry drills (unloaded) to practice smooth, consistent draws and reholstering with your firearm.
Maintenance & Care
Clean Regularly: Wipe down the Kydex material with a soft cloth to remove any dirt or dust that may build up.
Test Retention: Periodically check the retention to ensure the holster is securely holding the firearm, adjusting if needed.
Avoid Heat: Keep the holster away from direct heat sources, as excessive heat can cause Kydex to warp.
Lubrication: A light application of silicone lubricant to the inside of the Kydex can help reduce friction and keep the holster smooth.
