The Atlas
Appendix Carry, Built Around You.
Appendix carry has become popular for a reason.
Positioning the firearm toward the front of the waistband keeps it easy to access, allows the grip to follow the natural shape of the body, and can offer excellent concealment without pushing the holster farther around your waist.
That’s what the Atlas was designed around.
Built specifically for appendix IWB carry, the Atlas combines a compact profile with adjustable retention and hardware options that let you fine-tune how the holster sits against your body.
Why a Concealment Wing?
For many people, the hardest part of concealing a handgun isn’t the slide.
It’s the grip.
A concealment wing uses pressure from your belt to gently rotate the grip toward your body. That can reduce printing and help the firearm sit closer without relying on an excessively tight belt.
The Atlas can be configured with a ModWing Gen 2 if your setup benefits from the additional concealment.
Choose the Hardware That Fits Your Priorities
There isn’t one belt attachment that works best for everyone. Choose the attachment style and size that best match the belt you normally wear.
Standard Clip
A simple, dependable attachment that makes the holster easy to put on and remove.
1.5” Clip: Designed for most standard EDC and everyday belts up to 1.5” wide.
1.75” Clip: Provides additional clearance for wider belts up to 1.75”, including many heavier EDC and duty-style belts.
For the best fit and stability, choose the clip size that most closely matches your belt width.
DCC Monoblock
A low-profile spring-steel attachment with excellent belt retention when minimizing bulk is the priority. Its compact design grips the belt securely while keeping the attachment system streamlined.
1.5” DCC Monoblock: Designed for belts up to 1.5” wide.
1.75” DCC Monoblock: Designed for wider belts up to 1.75”.
Choose the size that most closely matches the belt you normally wear.
Soft Loops
Soft loops provide a flexible attachment that wraps completely around the belt and accommodates belts from 1.5” up to 2” wide.
They secure using directional Pull-the-DOT® snaps. Unlike a traditional snap, Pull-the-DOT snaps are designed to release from one direction only, helping prevent them from opening unintentionally during normal use.
To put the holster on or take it off, the loops must be manually opened, wrapped around the belt, and snapped closed again. They are not designed to simply slide over the belt like a standard clip.
Soft loops are a particularly versatile option if you regularly switch between belts of different widths.
Each attachment has its own advantages. Choose the one that best fits how you carry.
Adjustable Retention
Retention affects how securely your firearm stays in the holster and how much resistance you feel during the draw.
The Atlas gives you the ability to fine-tune that resistance instead of locking you into one factory setting.
Locate the retention screw near the trigger-guard area of the holster. Turn the screw clockwise to increase retention or counterclockwise to decrease retention.
Make adjustments in small increments—about a quarter turn at a time—and check the fit after each adjustment. Avoid overtightening the hardware.
Always perform retention adjustments and fit checks with the firearm unloaded.
The goal isn’t simply to make the holster tighter.
It’s to find the balance that feels secure while still giving you a smooth, consistent draw.
Built Around Your Firearm
Every Atlas is formed for the specific firearm model you select, with clearance for modern carry setups including optics, suppressor-height sights, and many threaded barrels or compensators.
The shell, trigger-guard geometry, sight channel, ejection-port area, and retention points are all built around that particular platform.
Those details matter because small differences in fit can have a big impact on how a holster feels throughout the day.
Your holster is designed specifically for the firearm model you select—it is not a one-size-fits-all holster.
The goal is simple:
Stay comfortable. Stay secure. And be there when you need it.
Sweat Guard
The sweat guard is the portion of the holster that extends upward between the firearm and your body.
Its purpose is to help create a barrier between your skin and the firearm while also helping guide the firearm back into the holster during reholstering.
Low Sweat Guard: Minimal material above the trigger-guard area for customers who prefer the most open access to the firearm.
Mid Sweat Guard: A balanced option that provides additional coverage while keeping the rear of the slide and controls relatively accessible.
Full Sweat Guard: Extends higher along the slide for the most coverage between the firearm and your body.
There isn’t one sweat-guard height that works best for everyone. Choose the option that best fits your comfort, carry position, and personal preference.
