Inside the waistband (IWB) holsters has flooded the market in the last couple of years. One of the reasons to the popularity of IWB holsters is due to Kydex. Kydex is one of the best materials to use for IWB holsters due to its rigidity and ability to protect the trigger while carrying concealed. However, with the popularity of Kydex holsters also comes the increased numbers of manufactures and distributors. In many cases the cost you would pay for a holster is based on the name rather than the quality. As a budget consumer, I have found myself asking, “Where are the budget, quality holsters?”
Dagger Defense has released a line of holsters that are rugged and cost effective. These holsters are also versatile in the fact that they can be carried at any position; appendix, 3 o’clock, or 5 o’clock. Dagger Defense is currently offering these holsters for the Glock 42/43, S&W Shield (9mm and .40 S&W), and Walther PPS. I have been testing this holster with the S&W Shield and enjoy its simplicity, low profile and ease of use. In addition to those benefits, you can find this holster on Amazon for a MSRP of $32.99. A great holster at an amazing price for some of the most popular single stack pistols on the market.
