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 how high the backside of the holster will cover. We offer a high, medium, low and none. 

As seen in the pic a high will cover most the slide. This is mainly for those that sweat a lotor just dont want the gun touch the skin at all. 

A medium which is the most popular and is what our holster come with unless asked otherwise. These are great for a normal everyday carry. Covers a good portion and ends up being slightly less bulk.

A low would come in when you are trying to keep the holster as small as possible and you don't care if the gun rests on your skin. 

 

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. This clip helps with easy on and off of the holster. It also shines more on smaller holsters than larger. Larger set ups benefit from dual over-hooks more. 

What are over-hooks?

Over-hooks 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 adjustable ride height and adjustable cant. Seeing how the sit away from each other, they tend to hold the holster a little more stable on the belt.

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 Safariland style holster, you can select the option “Safariland 3 hole pattern” We will sub the Teklok style blocking for Safariland blocking and get the holster ready for  the end user to mount Safariland attachment of their choice such as the UBL, QLS or universal Gcode RTI hanger.


What is a Combat Loop / Teklok?

A Combat Loop is a belt attachment based on 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 a red dot cut work with a firearm that does not have a red dot?

A red dot 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. Here is where you would write if you  have extended controls, threaded barrel or you need extra clearance for  raised sights. Our holsters will clear most compensator's if it is noted ahead of time. If you are unsure, email us a picture.

 

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. If you are unsure of which light to choose, please contact us before ordering and we will get you on the right path. 
 

I don’t see my light listed. Can you make something for “xxxxxxx” light?

Depending  on the light we may order the light to accommodate your specific set  up. It largely depends on the light. If you don’t see your light and are  interested in possibly getting something made, please send us an email.
 

Will the 1.75in over hooks work with a 1.5in belt?

The over hooks we use are only made in 1.75in. As long as you have an actual carry belt, we guarantee you will not notice the difference.  

 

Can we upgrade shipping?

Our  standard shipping is USPS first class or Priority  mail. If you need the holster to be shipped via a different method,  please contact us and we can go from there. 
 

Why is my package taking so long?

I wish we had a perfect answer for this.  Truth of the matter is that once USPS takes the package from us, there is nothing we can do to  expedite or figure out why USPS is taking longer than it should.

  

Can you make a holster with an attachment that is not listed?

We can make a holster to accommodate most options on the market. Shoot us a message and we can go from there.

 

Do you make a chest holster?

We certainly do. There is a listing specifically for the chest holster in our OWB section. 

 

Do you make a married OWB (outside the waistband)?

No, we do not unless there are special needs limited by physical movement. 
 

Do you make a single holster that works for both IWB and OWB?

No,  we do not. Making a holster that will work for both types of carry are  not ideal. Something needs to be sacrificed on each carry to make them  work and the main 2 things are size and comfort.
 

Can you modify a holster that is not from Knightfall Customs?

Sorry,  unfortunately not. Modifying another company's holster can void their  warranty. We recommend you contact the holster manufacturer that made  the holster.
 

What is your warranty?

We will warranty a holster with manufacturer defects.
