Manual Safety Compatible: Designed to fit Echelon models with or without a manual thumb safety.
Optics Ready: The holster profile provides clearance for most slide-mounted red dot optics.

Engineered for a Precise Fit
A dependable holster starts with the right fit. Each 4BROS holster is shaped using a precision-machined mold developed from a CAD model of the actual firearm, allowing for consistent dimensions, proper clearance, and secure retention.
From vacuum-forming to final assembly, every holster is formed, trimmed, and hand-finished in-house. Each unit is then individually tested with the actual pistol to verify fit, retention, and smooth draw performance.
Adjustable retention hardware allows you to fine-tune the amount of resistance during the draw, so you can configure the holster to your preference.
