The Gladius, a term derived from Latin meaning “sword,” served as a pivotal instrument in the self-defense strategies of ancient Romans approximately 2500 years ago. Today, our innovative Gladius holster extends the legacy, offering a contemporary means for personal protection.
At the core of this design is a meticulous focus on a flex concept, allowing the holster to seamlessly bend at its midpoint. Woven with a robust flex (bungee) cord, this feature accommodates diverse body types, shapes, and sizes, addressing the nuances of daily activities such as bending, engaging in physical pursuits, driving, or sitting.
The pistol component incorporates two meticulously crafted kydex pieces, providing a customizable color palette for the front and back. However, the magazine carrier, characterized by its singular design, permits a singular color selection.
Refine the holster’s retention with precision by tightening the upper screw on the belt clip situated just below the trigger guard. In the case of a light-bearing holster, adeptly adjust the top screw on the Modwing. For the magazine carrier, the retention screw, strategically positioned between the pistol and magazine, facilitates effortless customization for heightened or reduced retention levels.
Elevate your self-defense experience with the Gladius holster—an embodiment of tradition seamlessly interwoven with contemporary innovation, presenting itself as a testament to both form and functionality in the realm of personal safety.

Good holster, good service. They contacted me almost immediately, when there was a problem with my order. After that, they updated me on the completion, shipping and delivery.
The holster is quite good. There are zero chafe points and the 365 fits well. I’d like to see a canted mag pouch in the future.
I’d buy from slim fit again.

Awesome, phenomenal customer service.
I chose the wrong selection on one of the customize checkout parts, and they caught it because they knew it would not fit my gun.
They called and doubled checked what light I had, and it was a different light than I selected.
Thank you
Above and beyond service.

It is always risky when you purchase something custom online, so i was skeptical going into this and i was hoping/wishing that the chance I took would pay off.
AND IT DID!!!
Love this Gladius Holster, been wearing since it came. My carry fits in it snug. Made the minor tightening adjustments needed and i wear it everywhere. I already recommend tou to a few of my friends and i am working on getting holsters for my Sigs.
Outstanding work! And Thank you
David E Torres –
Great holster, well constructed and turnaround time was acceptable. Unfortunately I goofed up my light. Turns out I have a XC2 and thought it was an XC1. So my Glock 19 doesn’t fit. That’s my fault. At least I can use it without the light.

The holsters are the top of the line. SFH does a really nice job with everything being custom to your gun. Most importantly, your draw strong will not change. Keep uo the GREAT WORK!!!

I love my holsters I’m going to say it again I love my holsters they are so comfortable and me with high quality kydex I had to get 3 of them and more to come you guys do such a great job keep up the good work
Jason –
From the way the holster fits to how comfortable it is while sitting, even in the car is just amazing. I’ve had a lot of holsters and tbh none of them are as comfortable as the Slimfit Gladius. The draw is amazing and smooth and of course the holster still holds my weapon in securely. Thank you guys so much. The time it takes till you receive your holster is a tad of a wait but it is well worth it I’ll tell you that. Don’t sleep on these guys, they have an amazing product.

The best holster I’ve bought! Very good quality and it shows. SlimFit would be the only holster for all my tools. Thanks SlimFitHolsters.

Fits my Glock 17 like a glove, mag carrier has great fit also. Lead time wasn’t too long at all. Very comfortable when it’s in the pants too. Quality is unmatched.

Best holsters in tha game.Gonna order one for my 1911 after the slide is milled.
Sean D. –
This is my 3rd holster from slimfit. The holsters are the ONLY brand , that I can wear appendix style for 8-10 hours without removing the gun and spare mag. I will continue to buy all my holsters from slimfit. I have a box full of other brand holsters that just were not comfortable enough to wear all day long. I forget my full size pistol is even there most of the time.

Great Holster

I’ve tried many holsters from different companies. Slimfitholsters knocks it out the park. This is the only company so far that custom makes kydex holsters without costing an arm and a neck. Customer service was exceptional and delivery time was faster than some of the big companies out there. From craftsmanship to the little details, it becomes very clear that they understand the CCW community and their needs. I’ve already bought 2 holsters and about to purchase 2 more. You will not be disappointed.

I have been on the hunt for the perfect holster over the years and I am sure that I just found it. The quality and craftsmanship is second to none. I greatly appreciate a company who offers both the claw and the wedge that is durable and screws directly into the holster. I will be ordering more holsters from Slim Fit Holsters for my other pistols.
Donald Cameron –
Amazing product, fast delivery time, helped me out when I messed up the in store pickup. Can’t say anything negative about Slim Fit, their product, or customer service. Top notch quality all around. 👍

Very flexible for a holster and i love it. Less poking in my abdomen when i carried around and very comfortable while sitting down without readjusting the position is a plus.

Carried IWB for the last 10+ years. Started AIWB with a different high dollar brand recently and was very uncomfortable. Searching for something better I came across Slimfit. The wedge design is perfect for me and comfort is great. This is my 2nd SFH. I’m trying sell of the other I bought while trying to find the right fit. Highly recommended
Daniel Perry –
You guys rock. !!! Best holsters and price anywhere !!! Highly recommend

Fastest delivery of custom holster out there. Quality products finish is clean and very nice. Lines are straight, no sharp edges, nice thick kydex. Would highly recommend SFH to anyone in the market for a custom kydex holster!

Love it. Perfect fit and got the color to match my custom Glock 19 Gen5

This one is by far the best AIWB I have found yet and I have ordered many different brands.
It looks amazing, the construction is perfect, the fit and finish is exceptional. I was called by the company due to questions they had to make sure it was made perfect.
So not only is it a freaking amazing holster, they care about what they are making for you and want to make sure it’s exactly what you want.
I will be buying many more from SlimFit!!!

This holster is the most comfortable and light holster that I owned. I’m ordering one more after this review

Amazing service quality product that will last with duability and perfection in mind. I wouldnt trust any other holster for ccw.

I love it, guy you did a great job.
Ivan R. –
Purchased this for my Canik TP9 Elite Sc. Love this style of holster, the rubber pad that goes between the holster & your appendix area prevents that uncomfortable pressure point contact i got from my other IWB holster.
Looks clean, comfortable and holds my Canik and extra mag securely.
Satisfied with my purchase and so far usage has been practical and comfortable.
Kevin A. –
James was very helpful making sure I got exactly what I wanted. Everything is great! Fit is perfect. Finish is top notch. I’m very impressed.

First time having a holster with a mag carrier attached and I don’t think I’ll go back. Awesome product, awesome company, carry daily and I love it.

I can’t express how good these holsters are. My Gladius fits my 43x like a glove and I’m certain that it will stay as my primary for a while. My brother bought from slimfit when it was smaller and the quality is just as top tier as it was then. will definitely be getting more holsters from slimfit.
Bryon –
I love my Gladius holsters! They’re comfortable and sturdy. The quality control and customer service is by far the best I’ve ever had in the firearms community! I had a few questions and they were all answered. Get one…You won’t be disappointed!

Amazing product!
Recommend adding a wedge.
Mark I. –
Recently bought a holster for my G22.5MOS. Been searching for one for a while with no luck til I discovered slim fit holsters. Glad I did. Had to heat the kydex around where my wml sits for my preferred retention but other than that I’m impressed with the hostler. Keep up the good work!
Jeremiah D. –
Perfect fit, great product, as comfortable as is possible
Patrick B. –
The 5 star is 100% due to the young man calling to verify my order and even answering one of my inane questions beyond his initial inquiry.
Sean D. –
Just got my Gladius for my Canik Mete SFT, build quality is great. For a custom made order it made a pretty timely arrival As well. Retention is super tight, extra mag is tight as well, the wedge helps me conceal better , but to be honest I may take it off and see how that feels as well. Thoroughly impressed with the craftsmanship, 100% better made then the rest of my holsters. Thanks guys!
Kyle P. –
I am very satisfied with what I received. It fits my specs perfectly (Canik Tp9 elite sc with a light and red dot).

Shipped fast. Very sturdy, quality build. Fits my G43X perfectly. Very comfortable as well!

I've been searching for months for a AWB/IWB holster to fit the "illegitimate" G23 Gen5. I tried another company prior and specifically asked them before ordering, if their holder will fit it. Sadly, it was a NoGo. But SFH delivered! Great touch on the rubber wedge. It is very comfortable, durable, and easy to clean. I will definitely purchase from you in the future!
