What is with the sizing Cadet, Trooper, Lieutenant, Captain and Colonel ?Updated a month ago

When creating the G3 holster we did so with three particular criteria in mind: For safety, ensuring the trigger is inaccessible when holstered. For speed, ensuring the grip is adequately accessible for retrieval.  For usability, when worn while seating or conducting usual daily activities the holster remains comfortable.  

We also chose to use law enforcement rankings instead of traditional sizing, such as small, medium, and large.  We found that when we used traditional sizing methods there was a lot of opinion over gun sizes and which qualified as what size.  By creating a ranking system we helped to alleviate the issue and avoid confusion.    

Our holster sizes are designed around specific firearms ensuring a proper fit and smooth draw.  Unlike most holsters, however, we do say our Urban Carry holsters are more size specific than firearm specific though.  The reason we say that is often one size holster will fit many firearms.  Typically (but not always), a Cadet fits most Pocket Pistols, a Trooper fits most .380s, a Lieutenant fits most Sub-Compacts, the Captain most Compacts and the Colonel fits most full-frames.  While this is a generalization and we want to ensure the proper fit for the specific firearm this also allows the carrier to use the same holster for several firearms, and the 5 sizes allow coverage of thousands of guns. 

**If you do not have a trigger guard on your firearm do not use these or any holster not specifically designed for use in combination with these type of firearms.  Please contact the gun manufacturer for recommendations.
