The Zip Slide uses pressure and molding to retain the weapon. When reholstering, after inserting the weapon into the holster, a "pinch" between the web of the hand and the fingers locks the weapon down into the Zip's polymer molding.Special Instructions for Glocks and Other Guns with Squared-Front Trigger GuardsWhen holstering one of the above pistols, the trigger guard may hit the top of the holster and stop. Use a slight side-to-side wiggle movement to easily work the squared-off end of the trigger guard into the Zip Slide. At that point the gun can be "pinched" in to seat it, as per the enclosed instructions.

PRODUCT NOTES:

The Zip Slide does not work well with extremely high or sharp front sight blades. Factory sights and most aftermarket sights such as Heinie, Novak, XS and similar fit with no problem. Nylon, Kydex/Concealex and horsehide holsters can be very tough on fine blued finishes due to dust and grit abrasion. If normal utilitarian holster wear on your gun's finish is likely to be an issue, you may want to consider a standard cowhide holster (or different finish on your gun).

As with all classic belt slide designs, the Zip Slide does not cover the rear of the trigger guard behind the trigger, but does cover and protect access to the trigger when the weapon is "pinched" upon reholstering and is correctly seated.

Being a straight-drop belt slide design, the Zip Slide is not recommended for behind the hip or small of the back carry.

The Zip Slide can be custom-made for some other weapon models not listed, but we need to have the weapon on-site at our Phoenix production facility if we do not have in-house originals or dummy guns to mold from. If you are in the area, or are going to be, please call us for more fitting information and scheduling.

The Zip Slide design cannot be correctly manufactured to fit and secure all frame or triggerguard shapes. We are continually evaluating new guns and adding new models to our standard production line, but we will not make a version if we do not find it's retention suitable with a particular firearm.

Please note that due to the minimalist belt slide design we do not recommend the Zip Slide for handguns with light rails other than the Glock and HK at this time. The rails on some pistols can change the frame dimensions significantly and may potentially catch on the holster during the drawstroke. We have not had the chance to certify railed Sig, Beretta or 1911 pistols at this time, but will post results when we make a final determination.
