Patented Design



Like most inventions, our holsters were created out of necessity. After trying many of the same holsters that our customers have carried, we decided to design a holster that could not only be carried all day, but could be carried all day comfortably.

Comfort

Comfort was our biggest motivation in the design of our unique holsters. Each Series of Nate Squared Tactical holsters are made from quality oil-tanned leather, neoprene, and suede leather. Each holster is hand crafted to ensure the highest quality possible. We firmly stand behind the quality & craftsmanship of every holster we build.

 

  • The oil-tanned leather will provide a durable, yet safe contact for the handgun.

  • The soft suede backing allows your skin to breathe, so even when you sweat against the holster, it will still feel cool. The natural friction coefficient of suede displaces a percentage of the weight of your firearm. This allows you to carry the firearm without it's total weight pulling down against your waistband. It is the suede that allows us to utilize a design with a single clip.

 

 

  • Neoprene is sandwiched between the oil-tanned leather and the suede leather. The neoprene provides the padding to protect you from the various edges of the firearm (slide, rear sight, hammer, beavertail, etc.) even when sitting in a vehicle, but also protects your investment. Neoprene (what wetsuits are made of) is waterproof, creating a moisture barrier that will not allow sweat or skin acids to come in contact with your handgun.

 

ORIGINAL – $39.95

The Original Nate Squared Tactical Holster was developed to allow an individual to carry concealed all day comfortably. We had always thought that carrying a concealed firearm was just supposed to be comforting, not comfortable. After personally carrying some of the most popular IWB's on the market, we understood why so many people felt the same way. After collecting the proverbial box of holsters, we decided enough was enough and started working on our own holster design. We introduced our Original holster in October of 2009 and since then, thousands of people (some skeptically at first) have enjoyed the opportunity to not only be comforted by carrying a concealed firearm, but learned that you could truly carry all day comfortably. With Nate Squared Tactical, comfort is a reality, NOT JUST A SLOGAN. Have a Crimson Trace LaserGuard? You can order an Original holster that will accommodate your laser for only an additional $10!

 
 
 
 
ORIGINAL TUCKABLE – $59.95
 
The Nate Squared Tactical Original Tuckable Holster is just like our Original holster with the dense herringbone elastic. We just added the tuckable clip holder design. We sew 2 pieces of leather together to hold the powder coated spring steel clip. An additional piece of leather is sewn onto the dense herringbone elastic. This piece of leather gives stability and provides a smooth surface for the tucked in shirt to be pulled out easily for quick access to the firearm. So whether you are going to work, church, or just going to have a nice meal, you can still easily conceal your firearm and look professional. Have a Crimson Trace LaserGuard?

PROFESSIONAL – $69.95

The Nate Squared Tactical Professional holster is the ultimate IWB (inside-the-waistband) holster. It has all the comfort of our Original design, but comes with the following additional features: 

  • ADJUSTABLE CANT
  • TUCKABLE 
  • EXCELLENT POSITIVE RETENTION

The holster is made of polycarbonate, which is an extremely durable thermoplastic. Common uses range from cd's & dvd's to bullet resistant glass. We chose to use polycarbonate because it has 30% more tensile strength and almost double the impact strength of acrylic-polyvinyl chloride, which is the material used by many of the most popular IWB holsters on the market today. All of this simply means that the Professional holster is made of the highest quality materials available.  Using polycarbonate also allowed us to develop a positive retention IWB holster with our Twist Release SystemTM. 

When the holster is worn, your body puts pressure against the backing, which presses the firearm against the polycarbonate.  As shown in the cutaway (image 1) the polycarbonate actually holds the firearm in place and provides additional security for the retention of your firearm.  Simply drive your thumb between the holster and the grip, then slightly twist the grip toward your body to release the trigger guard from the retention bump (image 2) for a smooth draw! 

As with most holsters, when your holster is new the retention level may seem exaggerated, but as the leather, neoprene, and suede form to your firearm and to your body over the first few days, you will notice the draw becoming much smoother.
