Blade-Tech Announces Hybrid Holster

The Blade-Tech Hybrid holster is offered in brown or black leather exteriors.

Blade-Tech Industries announces the Blade-Tech Hybrid holster, a pancake-style holster made from a blend of popular materials. Laminated and sewn together for a lasting bond, the exterior of the holster is cowhide leather and the interior is molded Kydex.

The Hybrid holster uses conventional leather button straps to fit belts 1.25-1.75 inches in width. Every Hybrid holster comes with an extra set of leather button straps for easy conversion from a belt holster to an inside-the-waistband (IWB) holster.

The Hybrid holster includes a full-length, built-in sweat guard for comfort and protection as well as a setscrew to allow the user to adjust the amount of tension in their firearm.

Blade-Tech and Looper Brand Leather teamed up to design the Hybrid holster, pairing classic design with up-to-date thermal formed plastics. The Blade-Tech Hybrid holster is offered in brown or black leather exteriors.
