Mission First Tactical (MFT) has released its Minimalist Ambidextrous Appendix Holster. Designed to give its user a low-profile appendix IWB holster with the reliability of a full-size variant, the MFT Minimalist Ambidextrous Appendix Holster is constructed from .08 Boltaron material and provides audible passive retention. Its tuckable clip is reversible for both left- and right-handed shooters, while the cant is adjustable up to 20 degrees and accommodates a 1” to 1.5” belt. The claw, for right-handed shooters, keeps the heel of the firearm pressed into one's side minimizing its print. For left- and right-hand shooters a spacer is included when the claw isn’t in use. The spacer pushes the toe of the holster away from the body moveing the firearm into one's side, thereby minimizing its print. For safety reasons, the Minimalist must be removed from the belt for reholstering and can then safely be secured back onto the belt. MSRP: $34.99 to $49.99. MissionFirstTactical.com
