A holster can be a thoughtful gift when it matches the person’s exact setup. We want to help you choose a fit they can use, rather than guess from a brand name.
Start with the gun, not the box
Ask the recipient for the full model name, generation, caliber, exact slide/frame variant and barrel length. Their order history or the maker’s model details can help them confirm it. A family name such as GLOCK, P365 or M&P does not tell us the full fit.
Ask for the make and model of any mounted light and optic, too. Find out whether the gun has a threaded barrel, compensator or other modifications. These details help us identify the right listing; they do not guarantee fit. If your exact setup is not clearly listed, ask us before ordering.
Gift ideas by gun family
For a GLOCK owner, GLOCK 43/43X/43X MOS OWB COVERT is one place to start if that is the model listed for their gun. It is not a fit promise for every GLOCK. Check the generation and product notes before choosing.
For a SIG owner, compare the exact model against SIG P365/P365X IWB COVERT. The ALPHA upgrade is an option, not included hardware. This listing excludes P322, .380 and AXG setups. It is not a fit promise for the whole P365 family.
These two examples are for setups without a mounted light; match a light-equipped gun to its named gun-and-light listing.
For S&W, ask whether they have a Shield, Shield Plus or M&P, then confirm the full model and barrel length. For H&K, get the exact model name. For a 1911, confirm barrel length, rail and maker. For each, add the exact variant, caliber and modifications. These questions help identify the setup; they are not fit criteria. Unclear setups need confirmation. Browse our Quickship collection for the matching listing.
When a gift card is the safer pick
If you cannot confirm the setup, let them choose with a C&G gift card. That also lets them pick their carry style and attachment preferences. Gift cards cannot be returned, so check the details before buying.
Quickship or Custom?
Quickship comes in standard black and ships within 5 business days. Custom ships within 15 business days. Lead times exclude weekends and holidays and are not delivery dates. Many gun-and-light pairs are available in Quickship; a mounted light does not mean you need Custom. Compare the named fit in our Quickship collection and Custom collection rather than assuming either collection covers a setup.
Free ground shipping is available on US orders over $99.99.
Know the return terms before gifting
Our policy gives you 30 days after receiving an item to request a return. Eligible returns must be postmarked within 45 days of the initial return request, unused, in the same condition, with all original hardware and packaging. Request the return before sending anything back.
Test-fitting with an unloaded firearm counts as unused if the holster has not been carried or worn.
Quickship holsters bought on sale or with a discount code, including Black Friday and Cyber Monday orders, keep the same 30-day trial for returns and exchanges. Custom holsters and international orders are final sale; Custom holsters remain covered for manufacturing defects. We cover return shipping for defective items; original shipping fees are not refunded. Read our refund policy for full terms, including the Amazon exception.
