Additional Information:
The Naked Holster will be very snug the first few times; pull quickly and deliberately when drawing. It will get smoother with use.
The Naked Holster is made from a nylon thermoplastic infused with carbon fiber, and is abrasive to some firearm materials and finishes. Essential Holsters will not be responsible for any scratches or blemishes from the use of the Naked Holster.
The Naked Holster’s belt clip has aggressive teeth that can damage the belts and clothing. The teeth are aggressive so that when you draw to use your firearm, you can have confidence that your Naked Holster will remain properly attached to your belt or drawstring. If you want your clothing or belt to stay in pristine condition, this holster is not for you.
Each Naked Holster is 3D printed and may have small cosmetic variations. At Essential Holsters we inspect every Naked Holster to ensure that any cosmetic variations do not affect the function of the Naked Holster.
In some climates and conditions rust/corrosion can occur to your firearm. We recommend cleaning and oiling your firearm frequently to avoid any development of rust.
Some pistol grips may be abrasive to skin. We acknowledge that some firearm models are very aggressive on bare skin, but we also respect that many people still wish to carry their chosen firearm with the Naked Holster, and find other ways to deal with the pistol grip texture.
