Frequently Asked questions
Do you have samples on how the colors look?
If you do not see something that interests you, please send us an email as we can do customs colors.
What is an appendix claw?
An appendix claw is the raised attachment that is screwed on next to the trigger guard. This is what makes an appendix holster conceal so well. It uses the leverage from your belt to tuck the butt of the gun in.
What is a sweat shield?
A sweat shield is the part of the holster where the kydex covers the slide between your body and the firearm. We offer two different levels of sweat shields ; high which will cover most the slide, low will be a little higher than the front of the holster and a medium will be in the middle of those two.
What is a FOMI clip?
A FOMI clip is a single clip that attaches towards the top of the holster. Its wide and holds very steady on a carry belt.
What are overhooks?
Overhooks are a tuck-able clip that attaches towards the bottom of the holster. Holsters can be made with one for two. They have 5 holes which allows for user adjustment if needed.
Which attachment do you prefer (Fomi clip vs Dual over hooks)?
Each have their own benefits, but we strongly recommend dual over hooks over the fomi clip. They will hold the holster much more stable and they also allow adjustable ride height and adjustable cant.
What belt loops do you use?
We use a brand called Tacware. They were tapered on both sides to make the fitment nice and snug for most belt types.
What are D - Wings?
D wings are closed belt loops that hang off the sides of the holster. They allow the holster to fit more snug against the body compared to traditional belt loops.
Can you make a holster to accommodate a Safariland UBL/QLS?
Yes, we can. Under the Teklok style holster, you can select the option “Drilled for Safariland...” We will sub the Teklok style blocking for Safariland blocking and get the holster ready for the end user to screw on the Safariland attachment of their choice.
What is a Combat Loop / Teklok?
A Combat Loop is a belt attachment based of the Bladetech Teklok. Opposed to using a swinging lock system, a Combat Loop uses a lever design which we feel is easier for most users wanting a more simple setup.
What is a Competition cut on the Teklok / Safariland style holster?
A comp cut refers to a larger sight channel opening that will allow the firearm to clear the holster quicker. This is strictly targeted for competition or range settings. We do not recommend a comp cut on EDC or wilderness carry.
Can a holster made with no red dotcut be later cut for red dot?
It depends on variables of the holster. Most holsters with double over hooks will be able to cut after the fact, but some with a fomi clip may or may not be. It depends on the style. You can send us a picture to Knightfallcustoms@gmail.com and we can take a look.
Will a holster with an RMR cut work with a firearm that does not have a red dot?
A RMR cut will not affect the retention of a holster that is cut for a red dot.
What do I do if I have a threaded barrel or raised sights?
When selecting all your options there is a text option at the bottom that says any special notes. In that text box is where you would write if you have extended controls, threaded barrel or you need extra clearance for raised sights. If you have a comp we ask that you contact us first so we can get the model of comp and make sure it will be compatible with the holster.
Which way do the bullets face in a mag carrier?
In all of our mag carriers the bullets will face forward to allow for a proper index reload.
What if I do not see my firearm listed?
We are working on adding different guns to the list every day. Unlike other manufacturers, when we add a firearm to the list, it means we have the real gun and light to test fit the holster before it ships to make sure the holster is perfect. Feel free to send us an email requesting a certain set up and we can go from there.
I have a “xxxxxx” light. Which light do I chose?
We understand that a lot of lights have very similar names, especially the Olight. If you are unsure of which light to choose, please contact us before ordering and we will get you on the right path.
