How to Adjust the Retention on Your Holster

What to make your holster hold the gun tighter? Want it to hold looser?

Comp-Tac holsters are not only retention adjustable but they’re also ready to use straight out of the package. Certain holsters, such as the Minotaur MTAC, may require a break-in period before the factory retention can be fully utilized. Here are some steps to take to get the most out of your holster’s adjustable retention.
