Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose Kydex holsters?

Kydex has a rich history, first developed in 1965 for aircraft interiors. By 1995, it revolutionized the holster market with its superior rigidity and retention. At C&G, we use advanced CNC machining with proprietary aluminum molds to ensure unmatched quality and consistency in every holster we produce. Our holsters are made from durable .093 and .125-inch thick Kydex thermoplastic, offering a perfect balance of strength and slim profile with zero break-in period. They're form-fitted to your specific firearm model and work as designed right out of the box. Maintenance is simple: mild soap and water is all you need.

What colors and patterns are available?

C&G offers a wide selection of colors and camo patterns for our Custom line-up. Options include various Solid colors, Carbon Fiber, Kryptek, MultiCam®, and A-TACS designs. Quickship holsters are available in standard black and ship within 5 business days, while custom color configurations take up to 15 business days to build.

Will C&G holsters fit my firearm with accessories like lights and red dots?

How does C&G Holsters approach sustainability?

We're committed to sustainability by recycling all Kydex scraps and overages generated during production. Every holster is manufactured right here in Pennsylvania using locally sourced American materials, which reduces our supply chain footprint.
