The MAINSTAY™ Inside the Waistband Holster from Elite Survival Systems provides immediate access to your firearm and allows for multiple styles of carry. The silicone-coated outer shell will hold fast to nearly any fabric and offers unbeatable slip resistance - keeping the holster firmly in place as you draw. This ambidextrous IWB holster is constructed with superior materials and will not flake or disintegrate over time with use, and will not scratch your firearm. The Mainstay IWB carry holster's soft interior lining helps to protect the weapon, and the water-resistant materials will not absorb moisture. Elite Survival Systems® builds the Mainstay™ clipless IWB holster in the USA and offers a lifetime guarantee. The holster is ambidextrous and is offered in a variety of sizes to fit popular handguns. See holster size listing below.

Holster size chart – find your handgun fit (by size)
How to read the chart: find your handgun below for its base size. Running a red dot optic? Add -RDO. An under-barrel light or laser? Add L. Both? Add L-RDO (for example, a Glock 19 with an optic is size 5C-RDO). Exception: a size 7 handgun with a light or laser uses size 6L – or 6L-RDO with an optic as well.
