A holster shouldn’t turn reholstering into a whole production and it shouldn't PANCAKE.

In this video, Grant demonstrates a major problem with soft nylon holsters that collapse or “pancake” when the fi***rm is drawn—including designs like the VNSH and many nylon belly band holsters.

When a holster loses its shape, getting the fi***rm safely back into the holster can become difficult. And adding a retention strap doesn’t automatically make a holster safer. It can introduce another step and another potential complication.

**A good holster should make safe, consistent reholstering practical—not turn it into a struggle.**

Your holster should:
• Maintain its shape when the fi***rm is drawn
• Protect the trigger guard from access
• Retain the fi***rm securely
• Allow safe, consistent holstering and unholstering

Comfort matters. Concealment matters. But neither should come at the expense of safety and performance.

**Choose your holster for more than how it feels. Choose it for how it actually works.**

Why are so many gun stores and online retailers selling holsters that compromise safety?

Grant explains the problem: stocking every combination of fi***rm make, model, barrel length, generation, handedness, carry position, and retention style is complicated. So sellers turn to cheap nylon and leather holsters marketed as “universal.”

But just because a holster fits your gun doesn't mean it's safe.

And when we say a holster needs to “fit,” we don't mean it should fit thousands of different guns. **Your holster should be designed specifically for your exact fi***rm make and model.** A universal holster that claims to fit everything may cut corners where it matters most.

When marketing prioritizes comfort, convenience, and high sales volume over safety and performance, the customer pays the price.

A good holster needs to do four things:\
• Retain its shape\
• Allow safe, consistent holstering and unholstering\
• Fully protect the trigger guard from access\
• Securely retain the fi***rm during movement

It also needs to fit your lifestyle without compromising safety.

Your holster is part of your safety system. Don't choose one just because it's cheap, comfortable, or advertised as universal.

**Choose a holster made for your exact fi***rm and accessories—not one that claims to fit everything.**

🔧 CAN THIS OLD SH***UN BE SAVED?

Grant has a side-by-side sh***un project in the works: taking an old, worn-out sh***un and turning it into something unique and useful. But before this project can move forward, Dalton, our gunsmith at Shot Tec, has spotted a potential problem.

There may not be enough material left for the action to lock up properly. And when it comes to a sh***un's lockup, that's not something you can afford to overlook.

Is this project worth saving, or has this old sh***un reached the end of the road?

Dalton takes a closer look to help determine what we're working with and whether this project has a future.

💬 **We want your opinion!**
Can this sh***un be saved? And even if it can, is it worth the time and money to bring it back?
