Frequently Asked Questions

Q:  What is a "Sweat Shield"?

A:  A sweat shield is the part of the holster between your body and the firearm.  It is designed to help reduce the transfer of sweat to the firearm.  It also acts as a friction barrier.  Without it the top of the holster would be trimmed on the back to match the front.
