Common questions
Can I carry with a weapon light mounted?
No — this shell is cut for the Sig Sauer P365XL without a rail-mounted light. If you run a light on duty, look for the light-bearing version of this series instead.
Does it need a break-in period?
No. The shell is molded to the firearm, so retention is set by the locking hardware rather than friction — fit is correct out of the box.
Is this a duty or concealment holster?
Concealment — check the ride and belt attachment in the specs to confirm it matches how you intend to wear it.
