Fist Holster - great service

Received my 2nd Fist holster 6days ago,Fist #1K IWB for Glock27.
The retention was way too tight. Emailed them for suggestions.
Thier same day return email said "send it back we will repair or replace. I received a new holster today -5 day turn around time over the 4th of July Holiday. I call that super service!
Excellent service & a great product. This holster is a ultra thin Kydex IWB clip type. It is #1k on their web site.
I also have one for my S&W 642. Excellent comfort & concealment.
Ray

Congrats on the new FIST holster. What was your wait time on the original order?

Well speak of the devil...I just got two more holsters from Fist about 10 minutes ago...for my new Glock-26.
This brings my holster total from Fist around 28-30.
I like them tight as they loosen up naturally. Yours must have been rare to be too tight...

Fist does stand behind all of their work, my latest two were, as always, perfect!

Stay armed...use a good holster...stay safe!

I just ordered a #6 with an extreme fwd cant from Fist,it's about my 20th from them,I get the max frequent buyer discount from them.
They make good holsters and you don't have to break the bank to buy one,unless you do want to.

Dumb question - I only have a couple of kydex holsters; do they typically loosen up with use?

No, I have not found them to loosen up. You can tighten them up, so to speak, by using a little heat and your fingers.

I have taken my blow torch, held the holster 6 inches above the flame (not in the flame) for just a few seconds, then pinched the area I wanted to be more form fitting...works like a charm.

Others here who actually make kydex holsters may have better ideas, mine works.

Stay armed...keep your kydex tight...stay safe!

Original wait time GL 27 was about 6wks.
Previous wait time on my S&W 642 was 2wks.
