Optics-ready Lightbearing Holsters
If you own a firearm with a red dot sight (RDS) or a light, you may be wondering what kind of holster you need to safely and effectively carry your weapon. Luckily, there are many compatible holsters in our offer which are designed to accommodate these types of accessories. Let's take a closer look at what optics-ready lightbearing gun holsters to consider when selecting your new holster.
First, let's define some terms. An optics-ready holster is one that has been specifically designed to accommodate a firearm equipped with a red dot sight. These holsters typically feature a cutout or groove that allows the sight to protrude through the holster while still providing adequate retention. A light-bearing holster, on the other hand, is one that can accommodate a weapon-mounted light (WML). These holsters usually feature a space or channel in the holster body to accommodate the light, as well as additional retention devices to ensure the weapon remains securely in place.
