Options Explained
Colour
The colour of your holster.
We list the most popular colours, but others can be ordered fairly reliably. If you don’t see a colour you like, have a look at our supplier’s catalogue and contact us to place your order. We may add a surcharge to cover the increased cost of some colours/patterns.
Mount
Mount refers to how the holster is mounted (attached) to your body, typically via a belt. We offer several mounts at a discounted price when bought with a holster. If you select anything below as your mount option, it will arrive attached to your holster, ready to go. If you’d prefer to attach your own mount, select ‘No Mount.’

Draw Hand
Outside the WaistBand (OWB) holsters are typically placed on the same side of your body as your draw hand. If you’re right handed, you have a ‘right-hand draw’ with the holster attached to the right side of your body. The opposite is true for a left-handed shooter: left-hand draw, left side of the body.
Guard Height
The ‘Guard’ is the uppermost part of the holster on the side closest to your body. Some people push off the guard to draw their handgun or use it to mitigate (not prevent) clothing from getting inside their holster. Our holsters are designed with multiple guard-height options to accommodate as many shooters as possible. From shortest to tallest, those options are usually:
- No Guard
- Mid Guard
- 3/4 Guard
- Full Guard
To see what those heights are for your handgun’s holster, check out the guard-height image in the product’s photos.
Guard heights depend on the handgun’s design. The trigger guard must be covered when holstered; users must have good access to the beaver tail when drawing; and the guard’s width (~30mm) must mitigate the risk of it entering the trigger guard.
Let customers speak for us
from 20 reviewsRecently bought a holster for the SIG P320. excellent quality and fit. Will be getting more of their products.
Fantastic unit, makes swapping out holsters on a belt rig very easy. Super secure and built to last
Received you tx22 holster and could not be happier, the quality is great and the time it took to come was super fast. I will be ordering more.
This belt is very sturdy and easy to adjust. The video on how to adjust it was simple and concise. Very good quality and would heavily recommend.
The Team at Airborne Customs were extremely quick at answering any questions and have great customer service.
Very Well made and a perfect fit for my 686 and 617, highly recommended
Excellent quality and perfect fit. can you now look at doing a twin magazine holder for the 87t too please.
Excellent product with no gimmicky additions like many others on the market. Excellent fit out of the box. Super fast delivery and response to questions was fantastic. Thank you for your service!
My P226 X5 is a German model 2nd or 3rd hand. I'm not sure how old but it's stainless 9mm with the rail. The holster works fine but I had to replace the screws and add in additional spacers. I'm just using it for club matches WA1500 and Service. The Tek-Lok is a good idea since I swap out other holsters for other calibres.
All works well for my needs Thanks.
Feels great, fits well. Works as designed
Exceptional Customer Service, Great Product.
Very happy with the quality and the retention. The blokes at Airborne Customs were a pleasure to deal with!
I couldnt find a holster for my TX22, nothing is available off the shelf, I found this on the airborne site, and it is excellent, great fit, quality craftsmanship and support and follow up from the guys. I also appreciate the way they have branded it. highly recommended. Plan is to use it for target pistol.
Love it. Got a belt and a holster! Both are amazing.
Exceptional service, excellent product and outstanding communication. I highly recommend the holster and the company to all.
Very nicely made, great fit - would highly recommend
