The Standard OWB has the same design characteristics as the Standard IWB. The holster looks the same as the AIWB or IWB. The differences are in the belt attachments and material thickness. The standard outside the waistband holster is made out of .093 Kydex/Boltaron. When possible, belt attachment points are reinforced. This is the weakest part of the holster. This reinforcement eliminates that.

MY M9A3 w/ Olight Baldir Mini OWB holster with LVL 2 WRS retention fits wonderfully. It’s snug enough to keep the gun in place without wobbling around. The WRS retention fits like a charm too. The only place that makes custom holsters for M9A3 with the Olight. The belt paddle is 10x better than black hawk paddles for reference. It really hooks to your waistband and doesn’t move.
I will be ordering another for a different pistol. 100% worth the price.

I ordered this holster for a M&P 45 Cal full size and also wanting my 10 mm M&P to fit as well I figured that would. But what I was really hoping for was that my 9mm M&P would fit the holster also I have the same flashlight on all three, all three fit perfectly very happy with this product and the customer service throughout the process has been really awesome and quick to return replies.

Exactly what I ordered and received faster than promised. Absolutely perfect fit. Only one otherwise observation. Maybe the ability to slightly customize the cant. Looks like lots of room to incorporate the ability. Very good holster and great quality.

My Ruger SR45 is my carry plus my duty pistol for work. The only company in the world to make a true Level II retention holster for the SR45. They were very accommodating when I told them what I wanted. It was made and shipped quicker than I thought it would. Great quality, fits perfect! Thanks DME.

I own holsters like Amelda Marcos owns shoes. I have tried them all across several brands and materials. I have also gone cheap and paid top dollar. This holster sets itself apart in the custom-fitted kydex OWB realm. It fit my firearm and all its accoutrements perfectly – dot, suppressor sights, WML, etc.. Retention was also perfect out of the box. One can tell this is well made – not like some of the less expensive “custom” kydex places out there. The finish is top notch and it is not at all flimsy. Nice job DME; you will now be my go-to.

I’ve been using my custom holster on duty now for about 2 weeks and have zero complaints. Everything is tight and smooth to operate and the holster looks great too. I would definitely recommend DME to anyone else that was in my situation, seeking a custom holster for an unorthodox weapon and light combo. Thanks guys.

I finally received my OWB holster today. It was a custom for my Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0. With the wml and green dot sight being out of the range of most holster suppliers, this was harder to find. The fitment is absolutely perfect! And the holster itself is extremely well made. This will last a lifetime with proper care. I can’t say enough about this holster. Waiting for a custom product is well worth it when this is the kind of quality product you receive. Well done DME!

Like most of you, I have a “holster drawer,” filled with various attempts from various “Brand X” manufacturers. Some, I have to “self modify” to correct poor original fit, and one I had to send back to an otherwise “good” brand to remold the kydex. My DME holster, by far, is the best fitting, highest quality holster that I own. And in this case, DME was the ONLY manufacturer who could fit this particular gun with green Crimson Trace laser and threaded barrel. The wait was almost 12 weeks, but well worth it. Top quality in every respect!

Solid quality custom holsters, and the people at DME will take care of you. Both holsters I received were top quality, looked great, and functioned amazingly. The customer service is second to none as well. They also were willing to make a holster for my weapon system that others wouldn’t, such as the new Baldr Mini. Highly recommended.

The options, finish and details are all there. Very quality feel and tight lock up. I love the belt grip. Does everything I want it to and looks good doing it. I reccomend it to anyone who asks and I am on my 2nd holster from DME. I will definitely be back.
Downsides: These are made to order and as such take a few weeks to show up. Not a big deal to me. Quality is worth waiting for. These are not the cheapest option out there. You can limit the price by being frugal with the options and they are quite comparable with their competitors. Compared to S@f@r1l@nd holsters I much prefer the feel and options and they come in much more of a reasonable value.
If I want thermomolded holsters DME is probably the only company I will ever need again.

DME Holsters is one of the best companies I’ve ever done business with. The holster they made for me is absolutely perfect. It covers the trigger guard, fits my Sig P226 with a Streamlight TLR-3 like a glove, holds the gun securely, the retention is finely adjustable, and the configuration is just what I had in mind when I imagined what I wanted. Short of having a holster custom made there just isn’t much of anything worth buying for a gun with a light on it. So the holster is fantastic, but I think almost better than perfect holster was the phenomenal customer service. If you have any question just send DME an email. They are unbelievably responsive. DME really gives you the high roller treatment. They made absolutely certain that I got exactly what I wanted. I had a picture in my mind of what I wanted in a light bearing holster and DME turned the picture in my imagination into a perfectly functioning physical object. Love the holster, love the customer service more. I highly recommend designing a holster with and ordering it from DME. My experience was 100% positive and 0% negative.

Couldn’t find a holster for my Sig 320RX. Contacted 6 or 8 manufactures. DME was the only one that had a holster for my gun. Placed the order and had my holster in less then two weeks. I am very pleased with the holster. I am very glad I found DME. I will be buying additional holsters from them in the future
