What competitions are Dark Lantern Works holsters designed for?
Dark Lantern Works holsters are designed for practical shooting sports including USPSA, IDPA, IPSC, Steel Challenge, GPA, 3-Gun, and serious range training applications.
Each design prioritizes stability, consistency, retention, adjustability, and reliable performance under speed.
Are your holsters adjustable?
All Dark Lantern Works holsters include adjustable retention and mounting options.
Depending on the holster model and attachment system, ride height, cant, and positioning may also be adjustable.
Product descriptions will specify included hardware and adjustment capabilities.
Are your holsters compatible with optics?
Yes. Competition and practical holsters are designed to accommodate modern slide-mounted optics unless otherwise noted.
Do you offer custom colors or patterns?
Yes. Dark Lantern Works offers a rotating selection of solid colors, textures, and licensed patterns.
Some product photos may show previous custom configurations or limited material combinations not currently listed in the configurator.
If you are looking for a specific color or material combination not currently shown, contact us directly.
What is your current lead time?
Current estimated turnaround times are listed on the Lead Times & Turnaround page.
Because each holster is individually built to order, lead times may vary based on order volume and material availability.
Are your holsters competition legal?
Most holsters are designed around commonly accepted competition rulesets for organizations such as USPSA and IDPA.
However, local club, division rules and equipment regulations can change. Customers are responsible for verifying compliance with their specific organization and division requirements. If you need a holster for specific rules outside common rulesets, contact us and we will do our best to accommodate.
Do product photos always exactly match available options?
Not always.
Some product images may show custom customer configurations, prototype combinations, or previously offered materials used for demonstration purposes.
Current selectable options in the product configurator represent currently available configurations.
Are these holsters molded using real firearms?
Holsters are typically molded using precision replica molds or dedicated molding forms designed to match firearm dimensions and fitment requirements.
