Fitment Details

This holster is custom built for Springfield Armory pistols and configured to match the exact firearm or firearm-and-light combination selected on the product page. The magazine carrier is also matched to the selected Springfield Armory model.

Supported configurations include both non-light-bearing pistols and models equipped with popular weapon lights such as the Streamlight TLR-7 series, TLR-8 series, TLR-7 HL-X, and TLR-1 HL; and SureFire XC3 Sub. Light-bearing holsters retain on the light for consistent and secure performance.

Comfort and Carry Design

The DadBod Appendix Rig is purpose-built to make appendix carry more comfortable—especially for users who need additional flexibility in a sidecar holster. The adjustable layout helps reduce pressure against the abdomen while maintaining concealment and draw efficiency.

Compared to traditional fixed sidecar designs, this system allows for better positioning across different body shapes, making it a versatile concealed carry solution for Springfield Armory owners.

Use and Maintenance

For best performance, apply a removable thread locker to all screws to prevent loosening over time. Periodically check retention and hardware to ensure consistent operation.
