SWEAT GUARD: The sweat guard is the height of kydex against the skin

holster-sweat-guard-options.jpg

COLOR: The color of your kydex on the outside of the holster. Inside color is determined by the pattern you choose. Standard colors are .08" thick. Heavy duty is .093" thick. Our colors can be seen "HERE"

ATTACHMENT METHOD: Tuckable Overhooks are standard plastic belt attachments that go over the belt and hook underneath it. Tuckable softloops are struts that have softloops attached that secure around your belt and cannot come off without unsnapping them first. They are more secure but require more work to take on and off. 

BELT SIZE: Standard belts are 1.5" thick but be sure to measure your belt to ensure proper fitment. If your belt is under 1.5" we recommend upgrading belts. 

FINISH WASHER COLOR: Finish washers are the hardware that go between the screw and kydex. Standard is black or silver but we also offer custom powdercoated washers to accent your holster with.

CONCEALMENT CLAW: These claws are used to push against your belt line and twist the grip of the firearm into your body. We offer multiple options so that customers who are used to one or the other can have the choice. We do not believe there to be a huge difference between one or the other from personal experience however both options do help conceal extremely well. 

CONCEALMENT WEDGE: This is one of those times that it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. It is not an option that can be added later. This helps with both comfort and concealment by pushing the top of the gun up into the body as well as having rubber against the skin rather than kydex. It is easily removable if you decide it is not something that benefits you. 

THREADED BARREL: If you have a threaded barrel on your firearm for a suppressor or comp we will leave an area for the threaded barrel. At this time our molds do not allow for comps to be installed except in rare circumstances such as ordering a Glock 34 holster for a Glock 19. We will however not guarantee that all comps will fit even in that situation as all manufacturers differ from one another. 

SUPPRESSOR HEIGHT SIGHTS: With few exceptions most of our holsters will fit suppressor height sights even without this option chosen. Our molds are built to accept up to .4" sights in most cases. If you have taller than .4" please use our contact us page to ensure they will fit. This is a very rare case that they are taller than that. 

OPTIC CUT: Our optic cut is fairly universal except for the Trijicon SRO. If you choose an optic cut but do not have an optic cut on your firearm it will not make a difference on fitment or retention.

ADD MAGAZINE CARRIER: Add a black magazine carrier to your order for $5 off our standard magazine carrier price.

ADD VIBRATITE: We recommend adding this to your order however blue loctite will also work. After adjusting your holster to your carry preferences we recommend removing all screws and applying threadlocker to them. It is not applied at our shop to allow the customer to adjust their holster when they receive it. 

LEADTIME AGREEMENT: Please be sure to review our lead times before ordering at the top of the page. At any given time we are handing 100's and sometimes 1000's of pending orders. These holsters are handmade by a small team the produces the best quality holsters found anywhere. If you are not able to wait for our level of quality we would recommend shopping elsewhere. 

ORDER CHANGES: After you place your order there are absolutely no changes or cancellations allowed. It takes far too long to track down your order in our shop to make a change that may no longer even be possible.

    ARES-Light Bearing

    Posted by James Urquhart on Jun 4th 2025

    I have owned Legacy Cronus holsters and they are good, but once I got an Ares, these are the only iwb holsters I will buy now. Having the DCC belt clips (a must for me due to their absolute secure belt attachment) that are attached to the bottom of the holster eliminates all strain on the kydex itself. I have had an issue with a Cronus (which Legacy took care of to my complete satisfaction) and the Ares will not replicate that issue. I personally always get the Eidelon Wedge because I've never had any other type of wedge that doesn't over compress, rendering it useless, or tear or come off. The Eidolon is on for the life of the holster and has the same concealment advantage of tucking the grip into my belly from day 1 to year 4. Completely pleased with the Ares.

    Exceptional Products

    Posted by Braxton Young on May 9th 2025

    I really don’t understand the bad google reviews about legacy. Just ordered my second holster from them and once again am very pleased with this product. I’ve seen reviews about poor communication via customer service, which I believe to be total bs. The LF team goes above and beyond every time and deliver a genuine, quality product. Plus, it’s USA made. AND, the rush order option is killer. 50 extra bones and you have a custom holster in less than a week. I’ll never buy a iwb holster from anyone else. This company is flawless. A big thank you to the team from me, yall do amazing work.

    Good quality

    Posted by Jacob Barnes on Apr 29th 2025

    The holster fitment is great and it feels comfortable to wear. I am able to conceal my Springfield prodigy 4.25 easily with this holster and it sits at just the right height and angle. The only problem I have experienced is the wait time was longer than stated. A three week wait time was actually closer to 6. But if you are willing to wait for a hand made good quality holster I would recommend taking your business here.

    Posted by John on Feb 11th 2025

    My first time purchasing from this company and I’m very pleased with my purchase. The holster is well made and it fit my firearm perfectly. The kydex is thick and durable so far and I will purchase more in the near future. A+++

    Ares Holster

    Posted by Eric Powell on May 29th 2024

    I originally used the Cronus. The fit was spot on but the kydex cracked right at the single clip rendering it useless. I thought it might be the clear (ghost) kydex so I ordered a black kydex model. That holster lasted about four months and it broke exactly where the original one broke. I’ll stay away from the Cronus model holster. I decided to go with the Ares next due to the double clips that are attached near the bottom of the holster. So far no issues and the fitment and retention are perfect. I was disappointed in my first two holsters but I wanted to keep using Legacy due to it being difficult to find a light bearing holster for my edc set up. I’m super happy with the Ares and I’ll continue to use them in the future.

    Not Too Tight Not Too Loose

    Posted by EG on May 10th 2024

    This is the holster company that marks their product with legacy just like the name of the company itself. A bit pricey and the lead time is long but it's worth the wait because the quality is superior to any other holsters out there in the market. The fit is perfect, when you pull out your firearm it is so smooth and when you insert it back same smoothness with a nice audible clicking sound with a feeling of security. Not too tight not too loose just like my girlfriend. The holster is very comfortable and concealment is un-noticeable, very minimal printing because of the concealment wedge and claw. I recommend getting a wedge as it adds comfort as well. I will buy another one for my CZ sooner or later. Great job Legacy Team!

    Quality holster for CR920P

    Posted by Christopher Kou on Mar 6th 2024

    I tried another brand first, but the holster did not adequately cover the trigger guard to prevent in-holster firing. This is difficult for lightbearing holsters, but the Legacy Ares does it wonderfully. There is no flimsiness at all to the kydex. It's thick and resilient. The fit is perfect--as slim and tight as it can possibly be and still offer a smooth draw. I highly recommend the Eidelon concealment wedge for the CR920P. It is comfortable and keeps the holster close to the body. I did end up changing the Discreet Concepts clips I had ordered with it out for a pair of standard grip clips. The DC clips were just too tight and difficult to get on my belts, and I was also concerned the metal grips would wear holes in my pants and gouge my leather gun belt. With the standard grip clips it secures just fine. In conclusion, I highly recommend Legacy Ares for lightbearing CCWs. You won't be disappointed.
