Outside-the-Waistband (OWB) Holster – Single Layer

Designed for speed, stability, and all-day durability, our Single Layer Outside-the-Waistband (OWB) Holster is precision-formed from 0.08" thermoformed polymer to provide secure retention, a consistent draw, and dependable performance for everyday carry, range use, competition, and training.

Every holster is custom built to order in Lehigh Acres, Florida for your specific firearm and selected configuration.


OWB Features

Precision Single Layer Construction

Constructed from a single 0.08" thermoformed polymer shell that offers excellent strength while maintaining a lightweight profile.

Adjustable Retention

Dual retention screws allow you to fine-tune the draw to your personal preference while maintaining secure firearm retention.

Optional Red Dot Cut

A red dot optic cut is available at no additional charge. Simply select the option before adding your holster to your cart.

Universal OWB Mounting Pattern

Every OWB holster is pre-drilled using a common mounting pattern compatible with most popular aftermarket belt attachments and mounting systems, allowing you to easily change your setup without replacing the holster.


Attachment Options

Choose the mounting system that best fits your application.

  • Tek-Lok Style Belt Attachment – Fits belts up to 2 inches wide and offers a secure, adjustable mounting solution.

  • Paddle Style Attachment – Easy on and off without removing your belt.

  • QLS-Style Fork Only – Compatible with QLS-style receiver systems.

  • RTI-Style Mount – Compatible with RTI-style mounting systems.

  • Tegris MOLLE Mount (3") – Designed for MOLLE-equipped belts, chest rigs, and load-bearing equipment.

  • No Attachment – Holster is supplied with mounting holes only, allowing you to install your own compatible hardware.


Optic Compatibility

Standard Retention (Level 1)

The optional red dot cut accommodates the vast majority of modern slide-mounted optics without affecting retention.

Level 2 & Level 3 Retention Systems

Large enclosed-emitter optics, including ACRO-style optics, are not compatible with our Level 2 or Level 3 retention systems.

Due to the additional leverage created by these optics, safe and reliable secondary retention cannot be achieved.

If you are unsure whether your optic is compatible with your selected retention level, please contact us before placing your order.


Wrap & Finish Options

Customize your holster with premium wrap materials including genuine leather, fabric wraps, and specialty finishes.

If selecting a wrap over a printed shell and you would like the printed shell visible on the inside of the holster, please include this request in your order notes during checkout. Otherwise, your holster will be assembled using our standard orientation.


Glow-in-the-Dark Materials

Glow-in-the-dark materials are exclusive to our Dual Layer holsters and are not available on Single Layer models.


Weapon-Mounted Light Information

If your firearm uses a non-standard rail key, adapter, aftermarket mounting system, or proprietary weapon light configuration, this information must be included in your order notes.

If no information is provided, your holster will be manufactured using the rail key or configuration we determine to be the most compatible.

If you are unsure which rail key or adapter your setup uses, please contact us before placing your order. Some specialty adapters and aftermarket mounting systems may not be supported.


Warranty

Lifetime Shape Warranty

Your holster is guaranteed to retain its molded shape and structural integrity for the life of the product under normal use.


Made in the USA

Every Close Quarters Carry holster is individually designed, precision-formed, assembled, and quality inspected in Lehigh Acres, Florida, USA.

Because every holster is handcrafted to order, slight cosmetic variations may occur, making every holster uniquely yours.

Single-Layer Warranty All single-layer holsters and carriers are backed by our Lifetime Shape Warranty.

This warranty covers the hard shell itself and does not include wear items such as hardware, clips, straps, or finishes.

    Solid, well crafted, and perfect fit.

    Posted by Evan DeShais on Aug 14th 2024

    I'm fairly new to the battlebelt/competition belt idea. It has progressed since the days of my old duty bat belt. I've got a number of guns, and as of now I have six standard dual layer OWB holsters using the speed lock and safari land QLS fork. I've one for my HK USPs, Berettas 92s, CZ 75s, glocks/p80, 1911s, and my MK23. I'll likely pick one up for my Sig 226R guns, my BNT MKII/ Sphinx.

    Perfect custom holster for my Taurus TX22C! Always love the stickers and extra hardware that comes with the order too. This is my 5th CQC holster and it probably won't be the last.

    This was my 1st purchase from CQC and it was great ? First thing I noticed was the quality, fit and finish is amazing. This is my 1st drop rig and I've been using it for speed drills and USPCA. Super fit, gun locks in perfectly, easy draw... a real winner !!!
