PHLSTER

The Classic

Originating as a Custom Shop design project, the production PHLster Classic is our first full sized AIWB holster in a year and a half. In stock and available via www.phlsterholsters.com, www.snakehoundmachine.com, and www.yourbuddystan.com, the Classic fits all 9mm/40 variations of Glock pistols, with slide mounted optics, suppressor sights, and compensators as standard accommodations. With our new TuckStrut and in-molded ergonomic teardrop, the Classic offers state of the art, premium AIWB features at a sub $70 price point (dealer dependent). Initial launch is Glock only with more fits to follow, so stay tuned.

Do you need extra holster length?*

*If you’re carrying a longer-muzzled gun or a revolver, adding extra holster length may not be necessary for you, but for short semiautomatic guns, it’s often helpful.

Guns with short muzzles can be top-heavy and difficult to conceal comfortably. To solve this, some holsters have extra length added to the muzzle end. Like the keel on a boat, the extra muzzle length helps balance the holster, making it more comfortable and easier to conceal. This is especially true if you have a bit of a belly, which tends to push the grip out more and make the muzzle dig in.

Note that while extra muzzle length reduces grip printing, it can increase muzzle printing, which can be a concern with lower carry positions and tight fitting pants such as leggings or yoga pants.
