Inside-the-Waistband (IWB) Holster – Dual Layer Kydex
Built for durability, concealment, and everyday carry, our Dual-Layer IWB holster combines two precision-formed Kydex shells into a rigid, long-lasting platform with expanded finish options. Designed for appendix and strong-side carry, this holster balances comfort, security, and adjustability without unnecessary bulk.

Dual-Layer Construction Explained (Important)
All dual-layer holsters are built using two separate layers of Kydex:
-
Inside Kydex – The interior layer visible inside the holster
-
Outside Kydex – The exterior structural and visual layer
If you select an exterior printed Kydex pattern (such as camo or specialty prints) and would like that print to be flipped and visible on the inside of the holster, this must be stated in the order notes at checkout.
If no instruction is provided, the exterior print will be installed in the standard orientation and will not be visible on the interior of the holster.
If a Cordura wrap is selected, the Cordura replaces the exterior Kydex visually.
If you are unsure how to configure your dual-layer options, please email us before placing your order.

IWB Holster
I got a holster for my Beretta PX4 and it works great. I received my order Thursday afternoon and I ordered last week on a Thursday night. I am very happy with the speed it got to me and the quality of the materials used.

IWB Dual Layer Light Bearing
Just received my new holster from CQC, for my xdm elite complete with holosun rds, and streamlight trl7hlx. It was made per the specs i ordered and everything fits as it should. Even came with some extra hardware, just in case. My order was received within the proposed time frame, even with a hurricane bearing down on Florida. I appreciate your work and dedication. Sincerely, Doc

Full size iwb
The only holster maker I could find to make a lightbearing iwb holster for the sp01 and have it actually be comfortable. Very pleased with the workmanship, and the extras and packaging just take it the extra step. Definitely recommended.

Highly Recommend
Very pleased with the fit, retention, materials, and workmanship. The stickers & packaging Josh includes are an awesome bonus. I have carried with it for a few days now 10+ hours a day, and it is very comfortable. The only feedback would be possibly including other sized nubs for the modwing, in order to help users fine tune their rigs. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase and will be doing business with CQC again.

Best Holster
I have tried over 7 different holsters and most of them being some of the “big names”. One of my buddies recommended this holster to me and all I can say is WOW! It is a very high quality holster with an excellent draw. I love the retention but it is the smoothest I have ever tried. I would highly recommend this holster and will be purchasing more in the future. There are so many options to customize and was even able to adjust extra features to have it just to my liking. The shipping was ridiculously fast and surpassed my expectations. I would give 10 starts if I could!
