What Is a Modwing?

A Modwing is a concealment attachment that rotates the grip of your pistol closer to your body by applying pressure ot the inside of your belt. This helps reduce printing and improves concealment during everyday carry. 

Standard Modwing

The Standard Modwing is designed for non-light-bearing holsters that retain only the pistol.
