Q: Why don't you offer any holsters with retention devices (e.g. "thumb straps")?
A: We do, but we feel they are generally not needed. Retention devices should only be necessary when you are concerned that someone may try to take your weapon (i.e. it is exposed) or when you are concerned that your pistol may fall out of the holster (i.e. it doesn't fit well). Our holsters are designed to be concealed and are crafted to fit your weapon perfectly. Properly tensioned, our holsters can be turned upside down and shaken without the pistol even rattling, much less falling out. That is why no additional retention devices are necessary. We feel that retention devices only compromise the performance of the holster in its intended application -- fast access concealment.

Q: What is the difference between your holsters and all the other holsters on the market? What makes them worth the extra cost?
A: The cost difference between our holsters and other manufacturers is actually quite small, especially when you consider that ours are made to your specification. Other than that, you can look at how our holsters are made. Most of the cheap holsters out there are injection molded from a brittle, marginally flexible plastic. The impact of this is seen in their shorter life and stiffer action. The second thing to look at is the method used to make them. Even the higher quality thermoformed holsters on the market are largely made by machine. As with any product being punched-out on an assembly line, there are production tolerances. These tolerances cannot be balanced (it would be unacceptable to produce a holster that was too tight), so they tend to compromise toward being too loose, producing a sloppy fit. With a Hillsman Holster, there are no compromises.
