In short: The SMS notification with a tracking number from a sender named "gunbangkok" is an automated message from our store's system, sent to the phone number you provided with your order once the shipping company has received the package. The message only contains the shipping company's name and tracking number; there are no links to click, no requests for payment, and no personal information. You do not need to reply or do anything further. Simply use the tracking number to check the status on the shipping company's official website or app. If you ordered from GunBangkok and receive an SMS with a tracking number, it is a shipping notification from our system. This type of message contains no links to click and requires no further action. Example message: Package from GunBangkok has been shipped. Thailand Post EA123456789TH. The above tracking number is just an example. Behind this short message is our automated tracking number notification system, developed to let customers know their awaited items have been shipped without needing to contact an admin. What does the SMS from GunBangkok look like? The message will display the sender's name as "gunbangkok" and is a one-way message. Some phone models may display "Sender unable to receive reply," which is normal. If you have any questions... Please contact us through the channel you used to place your order or via LINE @gunbangkok instead of receiving SMS replies. The example SMS notification from GunBangkok includes only the shipping company name and tracking number; there is no link (the tracking number is an example). Why are orders shipped at different times? GunBangkok has both custom-made KYDEX holsters and ready-to-ship items, so the preparation and shipping times differ. Custom-made KYDEX holsters are produced according to the details of each order. Some orders take approximately 7 days, while others take approximately 10 days. Please refer to the confirmation date provided by the shop for your specific order. For chest bags, waist bags, belts, and other accessories (ready-to-ship), orders can be prepared and shipped immediately without waiting in the production queue. Product Type | Pre-Shipping Process | Estimated Time | Custom-made KYDEX Holsters | Production queue based on order details | Approximately 7-10 days (based on shop confirmation) | Chest Bags, Waist Bags, Belts, and Other Accessories (Ready-to-ship) | Prepared and shipped immediately | No production queue | Faster than custom-made items (orders received on different days, produced on different days, and shipped in different batches) Notifying everyone of their tracking numbers is another crucial step that must be handled alongside production and shipping. From manually notifying each customer, we've now moved to an automated system. Before this system, the admin had to manually send tracking numbers to each customer. Sometimes, the goods had already been shipped, but the tracking number hadn't been sent yet, requiring customers to contact us. The admin then had to recheck the order to find the tracking number. Even though shipping companies might already have notification services, based on our experience, some customers still didn't receive the necessary information. Therefore, we developed GunBangkok's SMS notification system as an additional way to inform customers when the shipping company receives a package into their system…

The story of GUN BANGKOK's beginnings in 2020, from searching for an inside-the-waistband holster for the SIG Sauer P365 to producing custom-made KYDEX holsters in Thailand.

Last updated: October 17, 2026 · Written by Fuse Gunbangkok. In short: The Glock 17 is a full-size duty gun. Therefore, the appropriate holster depends on the type of work: Uniformed officers should use an outside-the-waistband (WB) holster with a Level 2 locking system (2,790 THB). Off-the-waistband officers carrying under a jacket should use a pancake holster (1,690 THB). For shooting practice or competition, use an outside-the-waistband (WB) holster with a Level 1 locking system (1,490 THB). Inside-the-waistband (WB) holsters (1,190 THB) are usable but are uncomfortable and prone to grip stretching, so they are best suited for occasional carry (black color). For those who own a Glock 17, one of the legendary and popular full-size pistols, finding a general holster shouldn't be too difficult. But the important question is... “Which Glock 17 holster should we choose for optimal real-world use and safety?” First, it's important to understand that a full-size pistol like the Glock 17 is designed as a primary operational weapon (duty gun). Its dimensions don't lend themselves to easy concealed carry like compact or sub-compact pistols. Therefore, the approach to choosing this model should consider the following mission requirements: 1. Uniformed Officers: Maximum safety with an outside-the-waistband (OBD) holster of level 2 or higher. If you are a police officer, military personnel, or other government official who needs to carry a Glock 17 openly in uniform, the most important thing is “safety against weapon snatching.” Recommended holster: A Level 2 locking system is absolutely necessary. Why is this important?: Because carrying a firearm openly in the open carries a risk of attack from behind. A safety lock prevents an assailant from easily drawing the gun from your holster, but at the same time… The manufacturer must design the holster so that the officer can quickly unlock and draw the gun in a fraction of a second. 2. Undercover officers: Comfortable carrying, no bulge, with a pancake holster. For undercover officers or those in plainclothes who need to carry a full-size firearm but need it to be concealed under a coat or suit, the recommended holster is: a pancake holster. Advantages: This type of holster is designed to be flat and fit snugly against the curves of the body, so that when worn under a coat, the gun will not bulge unattractively. Importantly, it is comfortable to wear, not constricting, and distributes the weight of the gun excellently, ideal for long hours of duty. Why is the Glock 17 not very suitable for an inside-the-waistband (IWB) holster? Many people may think of putting a Glock 17 in an IWB holster to emphasize concealment, but in reality, expert holsterers usually don't recommend it for the following main reasons: Constriction and pressure pain: An IWB holster forces the body to squeeze into the waistband of the pants, due to the dimensions of…

Short summary: Choose a holster based on “who will use it and what will they use it for” before aesthetics: Shooting practice/competition → Level 1 outside waistband holster; Uniformed officers → Level 2 or higher outside waistband holster with locking system; Plainclothes officers/in suits → Pancake holster; Private individuals needing concealed carry → Inside waistband/appendix holster. Carrying must always comply with firearms laws and regulations of the employing organization. Choosing the perfect and safest holster shouldn't be about aesthetics, but about “who you are and how you will use it.” Different missions require completely different holster designs. If you want to choose the most suitable and cost-effective holster, you can categorize them according to actual usage as follows: Quick summary: Which type of holster is right for whom? And starting prices. User-recommended holster. Starting price: Black (Baht). Related options: Practice/Competition: Level 1 Outside Waistband Holster 1,490 QLS Quick Release +300. Uniformed Officers: Outside Waistband Holster + Locking System Level 2 2,790 Level 2 Strap +1,300 · Low Profile Plate + Leg Strap +500. Plainclothes Officers/Suit: Pancake Holster 1,690 Faux Leather Lining +500. General Public: Concealed Carry: Inside Waistband (IWB/Appendix) 1,190 Modwing +300 · Steel Clip +150.

For range training or competitive shooting: If your goal is to enter a shooting range or compete in various sports, the most suitable holster is the Level 1 Outside Waistband (standard) holster. Highlights: Designed for ease of use, smooth draw, maximum speed, ideal for muscle training and achieving time on the competition field. However, this type of holster is not recommended for use outside the field or in everyday life because it lacks an advanced safety locking system. 2. For uniformed officers (police, military, government officials, security guards): For those in uniform who are authorized to openly carry firearms within their area of responsibility, your holster must be at least a Level 2 locking system. Why Level 2 or higher?: Because openly carrying a firearm makes you a target and increases the risk of being attacked and having your weapon seized. A Level 2 locking system (such as…)

Because the flashlight obstructs the trigger guard, the locking point of a standard holster, the holster's locking point must be shifted to the flashlight instead. The result is that the holster must be custom-made for the "firearm model + flashlight model." A holster made for the SureFire X300 will not work with the Streamlight TLR-1, even though they are the same firearm model. The number of users mounting flashlights has increased because high-quality flashlights are readily available. However, the consequence is that existing holsters become unusable, and if using a less common flashlight model, finding a ready-made holster is virtually impossible. This article explains why this type of holster is difficult to design, the limitations of ready-made holsters, and the custom ordering process at GUN BANGKOK. Retention System: What is the locking point of a Kydex holster? The heart of every Kydex holster is retention, or the force that holds the device. A standard holster without a flashlight locks at the trigger guard because it maintains a consistent shape and provides the most even grip. The advantages are a secure lock, smooth draw, a compact size for easy concealment, and consistent accuracy due to the fixed factory dimensions of the firearm. When a flashlight is attached, the holster design changes completely. The flashlight replaces and obstructs the trigger guard area, the shape of the front of the trigger guard alters, and the original pressure point is no longer effective. Therefore, the holster's retention system must be completely redesigned, shifting the locking mechanism to the flashlight itself. Simply put: the holster no longer grips the firearm, but the attached flashlight. Why do holsters with flashlights need to be model-specific? 1. Even with the same firearm model... However, different flashlight models require different molds. For example, the following four Glock 19 sets require different molds and retention points. Can the pistol and flashlight use the same holster? Glock 19 + SureFire X300: No — each requires a specific mold because the dimensions, protrusions, and indentations of each flashlight model are different. Glock 19 + Streamlight TLR-1, Glock 19 + Streamlight TLR-7A, Glock 19 + Olight Baldr Mini. Each flashlight model also has different mechanisms. For example, Olight models with a quick-release lever have a raised side button for easy locking; models without a raised button require locking at the flashlight rail adapter; and the Streamlight TLR-6 is the most difficult because it lacks both a lever and a thick rail. The holster maker must precisely estimate the blocking point before the flashlight to ensure the correct clamping force. 2. The balance of the clamping force must be controlled…

Last updated: October 17, 2026 · Written by Fuse Gun Bangkok. Short Summary: Standard (starting at 1,190 THB): Most durable, easy to clean, clear click lock sound. Suitable for law enforcement and heavy training, but the gun's finish is more prone to holster wear. Faux Leather Lined (+500 THB): Protects the gun's finish and is quieter. Suitable for self-defense carry without frequent drawing/practice, but requires more cleaning and the leather layer wears down faster with heavy training or frequent water exposure. If you're planning to order a custom KYDEX I-WB holster from Gun Bangkok, a frequently asked question that causes many customers to hesitate is, "Should I choose the standard (pure thermoplastic) or the one with the added faux leather lining option?" Because both options have distinct advantages and respond to different uses, today we'll delve into the pros and cons to help you choose the holster that best suits your daily life. 1. Standard KYDEX I-WB Holster: A standard holster molded directly from high-quality thermoplastic sheet. The inner surface is made of pure material that has been meticulously polished and deburred. ✅ Advantages: Durable and long-lasting: Withstands compression and pressure, and can withstand rigorous drawing and undrawing practice for extended periods without deterioration. Easiest to maintain: The holster does not absorb dust, moisture, or sweat. If dirty, it can be washed with water, wiped dry, and reused immediately. Clear click lock sound: Provides a solid and clear positive click, reassuring that the gun is properly locked in place. ❌ Disadvantages: Easily scratched: Because the hard plastic directly contacts and compresses the gun's surface, it is more prone to abrasion (holster wear) with frequent practice. 2. KYDEX Inside Waistband Holster with Leather-Lined Interior: A custom innovation that combines a strong plastic structure on the outside with a soft leather lining on the inside surface. ✅ Advantages: Maximum protection of the gun's surface: The soft leather acts as a buffer, reducing friction and minimizing the chance of scratches on the gun. Smooth and Noise-Reducing: Helps reduce the loud impact sound when drawing or holstering the gun, and provides a smoother, more secure feel during drawing. ❌ Disadvantages: Requires More Care: The inner leather lining may easily collect dust or small amounts of moisture compared to all-plastic holsters. Users need to regularly inspect and clean the gun and holster to prevent dirt buildup. Durability Depends on Usage: If you are a heavy user who practices drawing and holstering hundreds of times a day, or if the holster is frequently exposed to water, the inner leather lining may deteriorate and wear out faster than ordinary plastic holsters. 💰 Price: Standard vs. Leather-Lined KYDEX Inside Waistband Holster (Black) Price (THB) Standard 1,190 Leather-Lined (+500) 1,690 The leather lining option currently available on the product page is Leather-Lined +500 THB. Suitable for inside waistband, outside waistband, and pancake holsters. See the price and warranty table for other colors. 🔎 Summary – Which Holster Should You Choose? 📌 Choose the standard KYDEX holster if you… are a law enforcement officer or a heavy-duty shooter who practices shooting intensely, carries the gun seriously, and requires ruggedness…

Last updated: October 17, 2026 · Written by Fuse Gun Bangkok. In short: Modwing, or what Thais call a "shape enhancer," is a side extension for inside-the-waistband (IWB) holsters that rests against the inside of the belt to push the pistol grip closer to the body, reducing bulging under clothing. This is especially effective with Compact/Full Size pistols and for appendix/AIWB carry, but may not be necessary for Micro Compact pistols. GUN BANGKOK offers Modwing as an add-on for +300 THB when ordering IWB holsters. If you've noticed modern IWB holsters with a plastic strip or wing protruding from the side near the belt clip, that's called a Modwing. Many people may wonder what it's for – is it just a design feature, or does it have any real practical use? Today, Gun Bangkok will explain it in simple terms. 🔹 What is a Modwing? A Modwing is an accessory for inside-the-waistband (IWB) holsters. It's a plastic rod or wing that extends parallel to the holster. The official term is "Modwing," but in Thai, it's commonly called a "belt stay" or "belt pusher." How it works: When you insert the holster into your pants, the Modwing pushes against the inside of your belt or waistband. The pressure from the belt helps to "pry and twist" the pistol grip back closer to your body. 🔹 How does a Modwing help with concealed carry? 1. Solves the "printing" problem: A classic problem with IWB carry is that the end of the pistol grip often bulges or snags on clothing, making it easily noticeable. Attaching a Modwing presses the pistol grip flat against your stomach or waist, reducing the chance of clothing bulging. 2. Maximizes concealment: Ideal for plainclothes officers or those who need to carry a holster for self-defense in daily life. For discreet use, the 100% is designed to be unnoticeable. 3. Adjust the pressure to fit your body. Most Modwings come with interchangeable inserts of varying thicknesses, allowing customers to adjust the leverage to fit their belt thickness and body shape. 🔹 Does Modwing work with all gun sizes? It's most effective with compact and full-size guns: Guns with a relatively long and thick grip, such as the Glock 19, Sig Sauer P320, or CZ P-10C, will benefit greatly from this device, as the grip is more likely to protrude from clothing. It may not be necessary for micro-compact guns: Guns like the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard .380, Ruger LCP, or…
