CYA Supply Co.Base IWB Concealed Carry Holster Veteran Owned Made in USA - Fits

I've tried my hand at making kydex holsters and knife sheaths and it's fun but always has challenges. My brothers in arms at CYA Supply have really set the bar for clean lines, smooth operation, and exceptional firearm retention. When I picked up the FN 503 I assumed the holster choices would be limited. I was looking for something tough and comfortable that also keeps the gun not only out of sight but in the holster until I need it to come out. I had an ankle holster that was OK as long as I wasn't trying to run and I didn't need to get to it quickly. I also bought a leather in-the-pocket holster, but I wasn't comfortable with it in my jeans pocket, I needed inside the waistband snapped to a stiff belt. This holster fits the bill perfectly. Compact, lightweight, and the SNAP of at the bottom of the insert was perfect out of the box. Small enough to be worn at 4 oclock or appendix. Finally, the price for a custom job is fantastic. Great job, gentlemen!

This product is just as high quality as those other “top of the line” American made holsters on the market, the only difference being this product cost significantly less and the processing time was far quicker than other manufacturers I’ve ordered from. It fits my Glock like a glove, and looks really sleek as well.

Right out of the package the retention was almost perfect for my pistol, some slight adjustments with the supplied hex wrench was all that was needed. The quality of the holster is outstanding, fit and finish are good, and it is comfortable. I like the fact that the cant on the holster is adjustable as well so I have the option to carry in several different positions on my body. Don't let the fact that this holster is less expensive than the others deter you from buying it, you won't be sorry! I was nervous because there were no reviews yet and I expected to get a mediocre holster tossed into a bubble bag and shipped to me. Not the case, you get quality packaging along with a quality holster for a fraction of price of the competition! Good on ya CYA I will be buying from you again.****Update****I have had my holster for 1 yr now and still have no complaints, this past weekend I noticed that the holster developed a stress crack off the elongated hole behind the belt clip, I sent a message to CYA regarding warranty and got a response back the following business day, A replacement holster is on the way and I couldn’t be happier. I would like to add that yes these are tight at first, if you put a little gun oil on the parts of the slide that initially rub and draw/holster the pistol repeatedly it will wear it in quicker and you will not have scuffs on your pistol. Thank you again CYA for a quality holster at an affordable price.

This is now my 4th CYA holster for a new handgun I recently picked up. (Previously had one for a g42, lcp, & Ec9s) Fit and finish is great like always. Excellent coverage of the mag release and manual safety. A quick adjustment to the retention and it’s spot on. Great products and I’ll be using CYA as my first choice for holsters.

There's no key to tighten up the holster. I think that's the major complaint with this holster.. I will go through my tool box to see if I can find one to adjust the holster

I had bought one of these holsters for my S&W Shield 9mm and liked it so much that I bought one for my LCP II. CYA checks off all the boxes that I want in a holster. - The inside panel goes up the full length of the slide, acting as a sweat guard. It also prevents any of the gun's corners, or in my case, a thumb safety, from digging into your side. - The material is Boltaron, not Kydex. The specifications of Boltaron exceed Kydex in heat tolerance before deformation. And some claim that it resists becoming brittle in colder temps better than Kydex. - It is angle adjustable from straight up to the standard 15 degree "FBI" cant. - The muzzle end is slightly open so dirt or lint can fall out. - Retention is adjustable. It also has a pinch/dimple in the trigger guard mold, which gives you an audible click when holstering. - It's a minimalist design with nice, thin material and a single clip so I can tuck it into my waistband and go. - The edges are nicely polished off to smooth out anything that can snag or scrape against your skin. - The cut lets me get a full grip when drawing. I can grip all the way up under the trigger guard. - The magazine release is covered to prevent anything from accidentally dislodging your mag. Many other manufacturers leave the mag release uncovered and call it a feature. I call it lazy design. Not to mention a safety risk in dropping your mag before unholstering, leaving a round in the chamber that can be forgotten.Speaking of lazy design. The majority of Kydex-type holsters will heat/vacuum form around a "blue" gun and call it a day. This means that all your controls... takedown lever, slide release, or thumb safety, are all individually molded. And you'll see bumps in the material where the controls are. This causes extra drag when drawing/holstering and can lead to excessive wear on both the holster interior as well as any finish to your controls. A smaller number of holster makers, like CYA, go through the trouble of adjusting their molding to produce a channel for your controls to slide down. It's this level of attention that separates thoughtful design from all the others.The first holster I bought for my 9mm Shield was very smooth in drawing and holstering. The second one wasn't quite as good. The fold which forms the sight channel was too close to the beveled edges of my LCP's slide. So it dragged more and caused a bit of early wear on the finish. After a few practice draws, my gun started shaving bits of Boltaron off. I contacted CYA and sent them a couple pictures to show what was happening. They sent me a freshly made holster, which arrived today. The new one solves that issue completely. The product gets 5 stars, and so does the company for standing by their product.I'm ordering another one of these for my S&W Shield 45. I wish they made a wider variety of holsters so I can order more (e.g. for a Walther PPS Classic/M1 or Springfield EMP). It would be great if they started making IWB spare magazine carriers too. But being a smaller company, I see why they have to be picky about what models they invest in.

Great holster, great price. Retention is good, holster is sturdy, clip works. Definitely a great value and holds my LCP Max snugly.

Simplistic IWB holster that is made with quality. No rough edges or burrs. Excellent fit to firearm. I like the slight forward cant. It helps to conceal and also makes for a smoother draw. 5 Stars!
