Our customers tell us there are many times they have to remove their holster, and sometimes their magazine pouch, during their day. With a traditional holster and mag pouch, this is not always easy or convenient. With that in mind, we sat down with our custom leather manufacturer, and designed a complete new line of magazines and pouches that are easily attached, or detached, from your belt without the necessity of removing your belt – we call them our QD line, any you may find they are just what you need.

This new line of premium holsters is based on our popular Lo-Profile^® holster. They are designed for the person that carries all day long and demands maximum comfort and concealability, with a pancake-style design that actually conforms to the shape of the waist, blending its lines to those of the person wearing it. This feature has obvious benefits for concealment, but also helps the holster feel more comfortable with less likelihood of it hanging up on objects or shifting position.

The Quick Detach design positions the holster with a slight forward cant while providing the stability required of a quality holster.This carry position offers maximum comfort and concealability while allowing a very smooth draw from just about any position. The low-cut front will have you clearing leather just above the belt line. A custom-formed safety guard is incorporated in this design to protect the thumb safety and your clothing during carry. Wear one, and you will agree the function, comfort, and style is equal to any holster you’ve ver worn – and it’s a true Quick Detach/Attach model. Meets I.D.P.A. criteria.

In addition to shark, elephant, ostrich, and cowhide, we now offer sting-ray These holsters are as sturdy as our other holsters, as unobtrusive as any, and are easily attached or detached by means of a couple of heavy-duty snaps. We have them for full-size and compact pistols.

ADJUSTER™

Normally when you buy any product that's advertised as "one size fits all" or "multipurpose" you expect to give up performance for versatility. Fortunately this is not the case with the ALL NEW Wilson Combat^®ADJUSTER™ model holster. By the use of three adjustment screws you can custom fit the same model of holster to a wide variety of pistols. For example, the same holster will properly fit all the following pistols: All single stack 1911 models with barrel length of 4 1/4" - 5", Para Ordnance P14, Springfield 1911A1 Hi-Cap, STI/SVI pistols, Browning Hi-Power, CZ 75, EAA Witness, S&W 4506. How can this be possible? Well it works like this. The main adjustment screw mounted on the welt moves a plastic roller (which contacts the portion of the pistol just in front of the trigger guard) closer or farther from the sight track. This allows you to adjust how much holster retention you want on the pistol. Another adjustment screw over the trigger guard allows you to adjust the holster to your pistol's specific trigger guard width and keeps the pistol from being able to twist in the holster. The final adjustment screw is located close to the muzzle and allows you to adjust out any front to rear "rock" your pistol might have. Once properly adjusted (which only takes a minute or so) your pistol will fit in the ADJUSTER™ just like it was custom molded to your gun. But one of the best features is the way your pistol will draw, smooth and quick due to the molded generous sight track and plastic roller contact. The ADJUSTER™ is supplied with a convenient and comfortable paddle which not only makes the holster easy to take on and off, it also is rock solid on your belt. An optional "ingenious" adjustable cant belt slot back piece is also available that works equally well with belts of 1" - 1 3/4" and takes only a couple of minutes to change from paddle to belt slot use. The ADJUSTER™ is available for right handers in a black laminate of shark/leather/kevlar/kydex materials and is virtually indestructible. Meets I.D.P.A. criteria.

Rapid Response^®

The Rapid Response^® holster is designed for maximum drawing speed without sacrificing the features required for a quality carry holster. In fact, this holster has all of the safety features of our other carry holsters including the snug custom contoured fit for positive retention and a full length thumb safety guard. The additional drawing speed is accomplished by dropping the gun just a little lower on the hip and positioning it slightly further away from the body. This allows you to very quickly acquire a full firing grip with less interference from clothing and your body.

Once you have your grip, the wide sight track eliminates friction of the sight coming out of the holster. The low-cut front lets you clear leather just above the belt line. While this holster is not quite as concealable as the Lo-Profile^® or Covert Companion^® it does bring the butt of the gun inward for concealability and works well for most applications. If speed is your primary concern, you need a Rapid Response^®. Meets I.D.P.A. criteria.

Featherweight IWB™

One of the things that makes carrying a pistol more comfortable is less weight. By reducing the weight of the holster you can carry the same pistol with more comfort. Our new Featherweight IWB™ is not only one of the lightest IWB holsters available, it's really comfortable too. The fact that the portion in your pants is extremely thin and the cant is adjustable lets this holster 'custom fit' to YOUR body. Re-enforced top provides easy one handed re-holstering too. Design of the top portion locks your 1911 style thumb safety in the ON position for maximum safety. Meets I.D.P.A. criteria.

Summer Companion

There have been numerous variations of the famous Bruce Nelson designed summer special style holster over the years, many are excellent and some leave something to be desired. Due to consumer demand, we have crafted what we think is an optimized variation of this famous design. The NEW Wilson Combat^® Summer Companion features a sticthed-in sight track for a smooth draw and clean sight picture. It's made with the premium cowhide "rough side" out to help stabilize the holster for a consistent draw. Double "hard action" snap loops will accommodate up to 1.5" belt widths and of course the top of the holster remains open to allow easy/safe one handed holstering. As with most Wilson Combat^® holsters the Summer Companion features a backpiece that locks the thumb safety in the "safe" position on 1911 models and protects the back side of the pistol from body perspiration. Meets I.D.P.A. criteria.

Tiger Shark^®

Tiger Shark^® is designed with maximum convenience in mind, while providing much greater stability than what you'd find in most other paddle holsters. The Tiger Shark^® isn't quite as concealable as the Lo-Profile^®, but it does rival it as one of our most comfortable designs. The paddle design offers many advantages for the person who finds himself/herself taking the holster on and off several times a day.

If you quickly need your holster, simply slide the body contouring paddle into your waistband until the retaining clip snaps over your belt (up to 1 1/2"), then you're ready to go.

Conventional leather holster construction cannot meet the challenge of a properly designed paddle holster. The Tiger Shark^® is constructed using the thermolaminate process which laminates a stiff piece of thermoplastic between a suede lining and premium cowhide or sharkskin exterior. A holster manufactured by this process will always retain its shape and allow the front to be cut lower without sacrificing retention. Thermolaminate holsters are also impervious to moisture.

The front of the Tiger Shark^® has a wide sight channel preventing your front sight from touching the holster. The rear sight and thumb safety are protected by rigid guards that run up both sides and to the rear of the slide. The Tiger Shark^® is a very fast holster with an adjustable tension screw and the front cut 1/4" below the ejection port, to clear leather well below the top of the belt. Meets I.D.P.A. criteria.

Lo-Profile^®

The Lo-Profile^® holster is designed for the person that carries all day long and demands maximum comfort and concealability. This holster's pancake style design actually conforms to the shape of the waist, blending its lines to those of the person wearing it. This feature has obvious benefits for concealment, but also helps the holster feel more comfortable with less likelihood of it hanging up on objects or shifting position.

The two-belt slot design positions the holster with a slight forward cant while providing incredible stability. This carry position offers maximum comfort and concealability while allowing a very smooth draw from just about any position. The low-cut front will have you clearing leather just above the belt line. A custom-formed safety guard is incorporated in this design to protect the thumb safety and your clothing during carry. Bill Wilson says: "It's one of the most comfortable holsters I've ever worn." Meets I.D.P.A. criteria.

Tactical Paddle

The Kydex "Tactical" version of our popular Tigershark^® paddle holster is a real workhorse. Basic specifications of the holster are the same as our leather or sharkskin laminated Tigershark^® models except with an attractive "Tactical" look. The heavy .080" kydex exterior features a serious business looking pebble finish and the interior, unlike most kydex holsters on the market, is lined with black suede to virtually eliminate finish wear on your valuable pistol. The comfortable paddle is covered with black leather. This is a holster that will endure years of serious use without any maintenance and is virtually impervious to the elements. Meets I.D.P.A. criteria.

Tactical Assault™

The Tactical Assault™ holster is equally at home for special response or range use, yet is also ideal for concealed carry. The Tactical Assault™ features a lightning fast draw, total security due to the adjustable tension screw and extreme durability. This holster is virtually impervious to the elements and requires little or no maintenance. A generous sight track and suede lining assure that your front sight remains crisp and finish wear to your fine pistol is kept to a minimum. Constructed of heavy .080" thick pebble finish kydex with suede lining and 1.5" belt slots. If you're looking for a fast, yet secure carry holster, look no further. The Tactical Assault™ holster is ideal for your needs. Meets I.D.P.A. criteria.

Practical™

The Practical™ is one of the most versatile holsters you can buy. If your need is for a holster that's equally well suited for concealed carry or range use the Practical™ is what you're looking for and will give you exceptional performance. This holster is constructed using the same leather polymer laminate we use in the Tigershark^® paddle. The result is a very tough holster that requires very little maintenance. It features a low cut front, generous sight track, double belt slots and adjustable tension screw. The vertical cant allows for a very natural wrist position as your firing grip is acquired. The Practical™ rides extremely close to the body for concealment while still allowing a full firing grip before the pistol is drawn. This holster sits a little lower on the belt and features the fastest draw speed of any holster we offer. Meets I.D.P.A. criteria.

Magazine Pouches

Unfortunately, many holster manufactures look at magazine pouches as a way to dispose of remnant leathers with little forethought into the pouches design or quality. Wilson Combat^® magazine pouches are crafted with the same attention and care we give our holsters.

These magazine pouches look sharp, yet they're built to be a highly functional part of your rig. All of our pouches are designed to be worn on the weak side, in a bullets forward position. We have found this position provides for a very efficient magazine change and conforms to the reload methods taught at the nation's top combat training facilities.

M3 Tactical Illuminator Combo Pouch

Combo magazine pouch securely holds one magazine and M3 Tactical Illuminator flashlight.

SureFire Flashlight Pouch

Statistics show that most gunfights occur in low light conditions. So it only stands to reason if you carry a gun for self protection, that you should also carry a flashlight. If you plan to carry concealed, you should always have a spare magazine and your flashlight. Our NEW snap on style flashlight pouch is designed to carry the Surefire 6Z combatlight lens down so it's natural to draw it ready to use and also protect the lens. Light pouches feature a heavy duty snap attachment with a design that keeps the pouch on the belt even if accidentally unsnapped.

Tactical Combo

Combo magazine pouch securely holds one magazine and SureFire Z2 CombatLight.

Belts

Wilson Combat^® belts are cut from the finest top grain cowhide, or sharkskin with a cowhide inner lining for additional rigidity and proper support of your firearm. The beautiful double stitching and solid brass belt buckle produce a stylish look that will easily compliment a wide variety of clothing.

Our belts are sized to be used in conjunction with Wilson Combat^® holsters and magazine pouches for maximum performance and enjoyment. The best way to determine your belt size is to take your existing belt and measure from the attachment point of the buckle to the hole in the belt that you are currently using. Then choose the belt size that is closest to this measurement. If this is not possible, your belt size will usually run about two inches larger than your pants size. We space our belt holes every three quarters of an inch instead of the Standard one inch spacing for a perfect fit. Belts available from sizes 28 inch to 48 inch in two inch increments.

Ladies Holster Adapter

Our new adapter drops our popular model holsters by one inch and moves the holster away from the body.
