Essential Care Tips for Your Custom IWB Kydex Holster

Posted by Coley Grantham on Mar 14th 2019

Kydex holsters are renowned for their durability and longevity, but like any gear, they require proper maintenance and cleaning to ensure they remain in top condition. In this blog post, we’ll cover essential holster care tips to help you protect your custom IWB holster.

Protecting Your Holster from Heat

One of the most important things to remember is that heat can negatively affect your Kydex holster. Some users attempt to reshape their holsters by heating them, but this can deform the cover. Similarly, avoid leaving your holster in the dashboard of your car on a sunny day, as prolonged exposure to sunlight can damage it. When washing your holster, make sure the water temperature is below 100 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent any warping.

Cleaning Your Holster

Over time, dirt and grit can accumulate on your holster, especially with regular use. To clean it, use a mild detergent and lukewarm water. Gently scrub away any debris and rinse thoroughly. After washing, dry your holster carefully to prevent any rust from forming on the hardware.

Checking and Tightening Hardware

Even the best IWB holsters can have their hardware loosen over time. Regularly inspect the eyelets and other hardware to ensure they are properly tightened. Common hand tools are suitable for this task, and applying a dab of nail polish or threadlocker can help prevent screws from backing out.
