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 practicality 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: For maximum safety, use an outside-the-waistband holster (Level 2 or higher). If you are a police officer…

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: Shooting practice/competition. Outside waistband holster Level 1 1,490 QLS quick release +300. Uniformed officers outside waistband holster + locking system Level 2 2,790. Level 2 sling +1,300. Low profile plate + leg strap +500. Plainclothes officers/suits…

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. The same firearm model, but different flashlight models…

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 gun surface: Because the hard plastic directly contacts and compresses the gun's surface, it is prone to abrasion (holster wear) with frequent practice. 2. KYDEX I-WB holster with leather lining…

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." In Thailand, it's commonly called a "belt holder" 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. 🔹 Modwing…

In short: For officers who move around a lot, KYDEX holsters are safer because they have a secure trigger guard lock (positive retention), don't absorb sweat, and don't collapse, allowing for one-handed reloading. Leather holsters are softer and gentler on the gun's finish, but they lack a reliable click lock, absorb moisture, and collapse when drawing the gun. Therefore, they are suitable for general self-defense that doesn't involve frequent drawing practice. Topics: KYDEX Holsters, Leather Holsters, Locking System, Click Lock on Trigger Guard, Holster Won't Fall Out When Inverted, No Reliable Click Lock, Moisture/Sweat Resistant, Reduced Risk of Rust, Absorbs Moisture, Requires Airing and Care, Reloading Retains Shape, One-Handed Reloading, Collapses (Often Requires Assistance), Comfort (Sturdier Initially, Softer, Closer Fit), Marks on Gun Finish, Natural Holster Wear, Less Wear, Not Compatible with All Gun Models (Must Be Specific Model, Some are Flexible Enough for Similar Models), Suitable for Police Officers, Military Personnel, or those who regularly carry firearms while on duty. A frequently asked question is, "Which holster should I choose: a KYDEX or a leather holster?" A holster is more than just a place to store your gun; it directly affects safety and ease of use. Today, Gun Bangkok will compare the advantages and disadvantages of both types. 🔹 Leather Holsters – Emphasize comfort but have limitations in the locking system. Leather holsters are the traditional style that has been used for a long time and remain popular among users who prioritize comfort and protecting the gun's finish. ✅ Advantages of Leather Holsters: Comfortable to carry…
