Wingman Holsters Review
Deryck PooleDescription
PDN Contributor Deryck Poole gets a lot of questions from PDN viewers about what holster is the best. There is no objective answer to this question because it’s a matter of personal preference and intended use. Deryck takes every opportunity to review holsters and provide more information to PDN viewers, because holsters are essential defensive gear. In this video, he looks at Wingman Holsters.
Fabriclip
The company makes a lot of Kydex holsters and has recently started vacuum fitting their molds. Wingman Holsters also uses what it calls the Fabriclip, which doesn’t require the user to wear a belt. This makes more wardrobe choices possible, including workout gear. Deryck demonstrates how the Fabriclip works. Release the bottom edge and insert the clip into the pants. Run it all the way up, as high as possible. Pull forward on the front edge, which locks in the bottom edge. This attaches the holster securely to the pants.
Putting the Wing in Wingman
Wingman Holsters has added another feature to this holster to make it even more user friendly for the non-belt wearer. An additional wing sits behind the waistband and helps keep the holster in tight to the body and not expose the handgun.
But if you are going for extra deep concealment, you can put a belt over the Fabriclip to hide the clip and the handgun even more. This is a good option for a defensive handgun holster.

The Verdict
For a couple of months, Deryck has been testing an IWB Wingman Holsters Kydex holster with wing and designed for appendix carry. He has been very pleased with it and encourages those looking for a new holster to check out Wingman Holsters.
Hey guys, Deryck Poole here again, as you know I'm one of the PDN contributors here and I answer a lot of your questions. A lot of questions come in about holsters. What are good holsters? What's the best holster? Well, there really is no best holster. It's sort of subjective. And what do you prefer? But when there is a new product that comes out I like to bring it out here and let you guys know about it. So you can make the decision for yourself. I wanna talk to you guys about this company out of Englewood, Florida called Wingman Holsters. They do a lot of different things with Codex but one of the cool things they've done they've just moved to vacuum, fitting their mold. So they're getting really good molds. One of the nice things they've done that wingman is they've started using the fabric clip. The nice thing about the fabric clip is it doesn't require the user to actually have a belt on. So if you like wearing a sport shorts, gym shorts for the ladies out there that like to wear their spandex stuff like that, you don't have to wear a belt. The way it works is if you pull forward and it releases this bottom edge once the bottom edge is released, you just insert the pants run it all the way up as high as possible. Once it's as high as you like it you pull forward on the front edge. Again, locking in the bottom edge. Once that bottom edge is back locked in. Now we actually have a holster that is attached securely to the pants. Another thing that they've added to this holster to make it even more user-friendly for the non belt wear is they've added this additional wing. This wing sits behind the waistband and helps keep the the holster in tight to the body and not expose the handgun. Once it's on, you also have the option. Now you can put a belt on if you're going for that extra deep concealment. Now you can put the belt over top of the clip, then hide it even further. So that's one of their nice options that they have going on they make all sorts of things with Codex. They, of course they got the magazine carrier, all vacuum fitted. And if you're a fan of the minimalist type wallet they make a Codex wallet that actually will hold the card in place because of the way it's molded. And then if you need a card, all it is fan out. Find the card you need once you've used it, put it back in lock it all back in place. So guys Wingman Holsters, this is actually one I'm actually been trying out now for a couple months. Really liking it with the wing made for appendix carry. If you're in the market for a new holster or looking to change it up head on over to Wingman Holsters and check it out. I think you won't be disappointed.
That just isn't going to work without a belt on gym shorts or sweat pants. It's going to sag big time, unless you are carrying a really lightweight sidearm.
