A: The Holster Jack was designed to improve retention strength and draw consistency. It is stable, discreet, and prevents the gun from shifting inside the holster.

Q: Is there any difficulty when attaching the pins to the nylon holster?

Before inserting the TOP PIN into the upper edge of the holster, use a pair of pliers to firmly grip and support the top edge. This maintains the shape of the holster and prevents distortion.
