This clever design lets you choose how you want to use it on a daily basis. Wear it as a belt holster, on either right or left side, through our unique injection molded belt loops that also act as covers for the reversible retention strap and thumb break. Or, you can decide to wear it as an Inside-the-Pants holster with the spring steel removable clip that secures it to your waistband.The extra strength injection molded belt loops will accept belts up to 1 3/4 inches when wearing it in the traditional vertical position or it can be used with dress belts up to 1 1/2 inches when worn horizontally as a Middle-of-the-Back holster.The magazine pouch mounted to the front of the holster lets you keep a spare with the gun. There is an adjustable flap, to properly secure different length magazines.
