Veteran Owned, Family Built, And Purpose Driven.

"Massive Confidence boost, faster draw time"

Mike R.
"Fastest draw, completely secure, very comfortable"
"I was skeptical about the open channel, but after using it, It’s completely legit, fasest draw I've ever had, completely secure and forget it’s on me half the time. Lives up to the hype, will buy again."
– Jason T.
Very concealable, comfortable all day.
This holster is exactly what I needed. I wear it all day with no problems at all. VERY concealable, and the breakout feature is a game changer. Would recommend.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 405 reviews.
Very impressive design I can’t believe how well this fits My 8 o clock position tension is perfect for drawing and the belt clips are excellent and the size of the holster is absolutely amazing I don’t even feel it on Me 5 Stars
I’m not one to leave reviews on items. But I absolutely had to with this. I just like everyone else have tried kydex holsters. Every single one I’ve tried has been uncomfortable And just absolute dog S***. I’ve been using a soft Amazon holster for the past year and I kept seeing ads for this Houdini holster And it really perked my interest. This is hands-down, the best holster I own. It is so minimalistic. It’s lightweight and the claw really helps with concealment. If you’ve ever had difficult to you with hard style holsters in the past and you’re on the fence absolutely give this a try. I did and it’s the best thing I’ve done. The customer. Service was absolutely amazing by the way, when I had a few questions I give the brand and product a 10 out of 10.
This is one holster that will never end up in the “box of shame”, that collection of holsters that looked good at the time, but now just gathers dust. This is THE most comfortable IWB I have ever used, and it’s a keeper. My Shadow Systems CR920XP fits perfectly in a G19 holster, as was suggested, and it is both secure and fast. I carry at 4:00, so I had to reposition one of the screws, but they had already thought of that and provided an extra screw hole. My only suggestion is to offer 1.75” belt clips for those of us that like wider belts.
As a retired Deputy Sheriff, and Police Officer I rely on Houdini Holsters for my EDC carry and concealment. I met them at a gun show several years ago and loved their product above others in the business. I also love supporting a Veteran owned business. Thank you.
I first got my 2.0 holster for my S&W Bodyguard and with It being so small I would honestly forget I even was carrying so I ended up looking into getting the 2.O holster for my Canik TTI combat but when I looked they didn’t have one so I was bummed out about a month ago I looked again and now they had made It for It so I ordered one, man I love It on my bodyguard but on my Canik 9mm I honestly can’t believe how concealed It is and comfortable, I love It & won’t use another holster, guys we gotta figure out how to keep them this comfortable but try to add a extra clip carrier
This is a family business, there customer service is outstanding and the products are high quality. I have purchased a few holsters from them for different firearms and have NEVER been disappointed. I Highly recommend this product !!!! I will continue to purchase from them.
I almost forgot I was even carrying! I have tried several holsters on the market and none of them are as comfortable and secure as the IWB breakout 2.0. I am the it's better have it and not need then not have it and need it type of person, so always be prepared! In most life threatening situations you might not have the time to traditionally draw you self defense firearm. The person my already be within your bubble. So, with that being said, I feel that the family at Houdini holsters revolutionized the concealed carry world by adding in their breakout holster system. Thank you to everyone @Houdini Holsters! You guys rock!
Absolutely love my new IWB Breakout 2.0!! Such a comfortable holster with the smoothed out edges, to the ulticlip and the claw all make for such a great holster! Plus being veteran owned made right here in our great US of A!
I have own many IWB hoster's over many years. This hoster is the best. Very comfortable and sturdy. I love the belt clip. I installed a aftermarket cushion also that makes this even and more comfortable. It's like wearing marshmallows. LOL.
I have tried so many different brands of holsters that it's not even funny. I am a small female with a short torso and it's extremely hard to find something that works for me. I've tried everything from your $30 holsters to $200+ custom ones and nothing would provide good concealment with comfort that will allow me to carry all day long. This holster did exactly what it promised. It gives that reassuring "click" for retention, sat extremely comfortably, and stayed in place. I am buying a second for my 43x next. I will absolutely recommend this holster to anyone who asks.
Great holsters. I’m a big guy and have a hard time finding a holster that is comfortable and doesn’t print. I carry daily and after over 2 years of using this holster I will never use anything else. I did have to contact customer service 1 time and got an immediate response and they actually sent a replacement holster in under a week. If you’re looking for the perfect conceal carry holster this is it.
I have 1 million different Holsters and have to say that this is my favorite. So slim lined and comfortable you don’t even know you’re wearing it. Also, it is extremely easy to draw your weapon compared to other holsters in my opinion. I like it so much I actually bought 3 for my other guns. Awesome customer service as well. You can’t go wrong!
Not completely sure how I like the holster. Don’t like the fact that there’s a big gap on the top of my slide when it’s in the holster. I am going to wear it out tomorrow and see how it feels but just from attaching it for a few minutes it did feel comfortable and not bulky.
I was having an issue finding a holster for my Taurus TH40 and after speaking with the great folks at Houdini Holsters we came up with a plan to make a Breakout 2.0 holster for my TH40. It took some time but I was able to find a mold for the TH9 which is the same as the TH40 (just different calibers).
I had it drop shipped to the company and within 2 days I was looking at a picture of the holster I needed. I received it only 4 days after shipping (very happy with the turn around time). As you can see by the photo it looks great fits well and there are no issues at all that I can see. Once I have had time toi get to use to the draw I may write another review.
I will say this the contact and the customer service from Houdini Holters was fabulous, the holster looks great and I am hoping (pretty sure) that this will be the last holster that I will buy for this pistol.
I whole heartedly reccomend that you purchase one of these outstanding holsters for all of your pistols. I have already told a few folks about the outstanding cratmanship, the great customer service and the constant contact they kept with me and I will continue to tell morre folks about them. Thank you so very much guys.
A very satified customer

I’m new to concealed carry and I have purchased two previous IWB holsters as well as one of the belts out there, I wasn’t comfortable. Then a saw a video of the Houdini 2.0 and figured I’d try it. This is honestly super comfortable and far superior to the others I’ve tried. I have shown all my CCW friends and they all love it. Please try it, you won’t regret it. Oh, and the customer service kept answering every one of my dumb questions being I was a new gun owner- they were classy and professional. Honestly, I am going to get another 2.0 as soon as I am allowed to buy my 2nd firearm in NYC.
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for your support we love to hear satisfaction
The fit seems good and tight and conceals well. I’m just curious if the p365 AXG Legion’s front sight is supposed to Be 100% exposed? I have the breakout 2 for a Canik TP9 elite SC and the front sight is protected by the Kydex.
Absolutely love this holster!!! I’ve tried multiple other brands, Alien Gear Shape Shift 4-1, Versa Carry (3 different styles), We the People, and one other. All were either uncomfortable, too bulky, or imprinted horribly. I was almost to the point of selling my Glock 43X, and going with another brand. I Really wish I would have found Houdini Holsters sooner. As a Veteran, the company being Veteran owned makes it all that much better!
When I first inquired about this holster I got a text immediately from one of the workers. They answered all my questions and even changed my order when I wanted to get it for a different gun. When I got it everything worked perfectly. I even added a strip of Velcro to the holster to use it in my off body bag when I don’t feel like carrying on body. I know it defeats the purpose of the fast draw in this instance but it’s small enough to use in both situations. It’s also nice to have the Ulti-clip with the holster since I wear a lot of shorts and I don’t really wear a belt, so I can still use the holster when I wear those. I’d fully recommend trying it out if you were on the fence about it. I think the holster will even work if I put at red dot on the gun as well since it has the open area for fast draw. Thanks again guys, keep up the good work.
Ordered my hulster around black Friday. It was delivered in a timely manner. Been wearing it pretty regularly every since and wanted to get a good feel for it before leaving a review. Lets just say since the first day it felt like I've had it for years. Very comfortable. And NO it doesn't feel like the gun rubs your body.
Definitely plan on getting more!
Hello there my name is Wesley and I inquired about this company to see if they could make a IWB holster for my Canik Mete SFT Pro. Well I talked to ( Cheryl ) and gave her the rundown on my gun via email. It wasn’t long less than 20 minutes and she gave me a call and ensured me that they could make their holster work for my gun. So I put my order in and in an about 7 days my holster arrived and I was excited to see if fit and work. It fit perfectly and I am very pleased with their product. The customer service was excellent and I recommend that everyone give them a try and you won’t be disappointed. I’m going to place more orders. Thank you very much Cheryl your service and workmanship is A plus! Please support this Veteran and small business company! 👨🏾✈️👮🏾♀️
I have several kydex holsters from different brands, saw an add on Instagram for Houdini holsters so bought one. Seriously impressed! Only downside is for this type of holster a light isn’t an option… but that’s okay! Still my most comfortable holster and fastest drawing holster! So gets 5 stars from me! Can you all make standard slide of the PSA Micro Dagger!?? Please??
After looking at them for a while I finally pulled the trigger on a Houdini holster! The fit is perfect, providing exceptional comfort and security. The design is sleek and discreet, making it ideal for everyday carry. I love how easy it is to draw. Highly recommend Houdini Holsters for anyone seeking a reliable holster.
After countless times seeing their ads on Facebook telling me how awesome this was, I decided to check them out. Unfortunately, they did not make a holster for the HK P30s. As luck would have it, they had a booth at my local gun show less than a week of reaching out to them.
Cheryl (spelling?), the mom and leader of this bunch, made me a custom Breakout 2.0 on the spot! It is extremely comfortable and does a good job of hiding this chonker. If they come back in town, I might have them adjust the retention, as this sucker is a tight vertical pull. The addition of the breakout does make the draw easier though. Overall, I'm very happy!
Great group of friendly people and a great product! Thanks Houdini Holsters!
I absolutely love this holster. It’s by far the most comfortable and concealable holster I’ve ever used, especially with the claw. It makes carrying a full size 1911 feel like a subcompact, not to mention the ease of drawing despite it being full size and a very sturdy holster. Customer support also blew me away by how fast they would reply and how much they care to make sure that you are happy with their products. Wish I could rate more stars! It’s a real bang for your buck ;).
I received my breakout 2.0 for my Sig Sauer P 320 a few days ago. I have been using it all the time, and I love it! Works as advertised and is super comfortable. The holster is well made and does not scratch my gun. I added the claw for extra concealment and it conceals great! Retention is perfect even with the breakout channel. I want to say thank you for making a great holster at a great price! I will definitely be getting another for my other carry gun!
I had an issue that was very easy to resolve but just didn't click, I texted the folks at Houdini and they responded within minutes and set me straight. Great product. BTW, if you're left handed, you may have to unscrew the textured portion of the concealment claw
and put it on the other side.
Very fast shipping & they even upgraded me to a carbon fiber holster, THANK YOU!!!!
Haven’t used it yet, but the way the gun slid in & sat, I can tell it’s going to be a very nice addition to my holster collection!
I love my new 2.0 breakout Holster! it’s one of a kind genuine American made. The unique design is amazing, you can draw your pistol faster with this holster than any other on the market. Might take a bit of getting used to but a bit of work and the muscle memory will kick right in. On top of all that it come with a “concealment claw” which is outstanding with its capability to conceal the handle and an “ulti clip“ which allows you to wear the holster without a belt. All in all very, very happy one of my favorite holsters will be buying more!
I was so worried that it wouldn’t fit my G20 gen 5 I reached out to make sure if it would. All my concerns were resolved by houdiniholsters and was guaranteed a refund if it didn’t fit. Well it does fit and couldn’t be more excited. Thanks houdiniholsters you did fine by me.
I’ll have to give it to Houdini, this holster is super comfortable. The claw makes for a nice tight grip to the body. But best part about this company is their customer service. OUTSTANDING!! I had an issue with my order when it arrived. I contacted them through their given information and had a response in 7 minutes!!! Replacement holster showed up two days later…….. that’s unreal compared to other online competitors. 5 stars Houdini Holsters!!!
I’ve never owned an IWB holster before, I seen the bogo sale and needed 2 holsters for two different guns so I said I’d give it a try. I purchased 1 for a G42 and 1 for an Sig 365.
I first fit tested them with the guns, very impressed with fit and retention. I put the G42 holster on first and again I was impressed with the feel of the holster alone, could hardly tell it was there. Then I holstered the G42, standing I could feel the gun less with an iwb than with an owb. Then the test that matters most, I tried to draw my weapon the way I do with an owb, wasn’t impressed, could barely get the weapon out without the holster coming with it. Then I remembered seeing a video of a guy drawing and rapidly shooting his firearm, but the way he drew it, more out at an angle where you’re starting to bring the barrel up towards level at the same time and that’s when I fell in love with these holsters, they hold my weapon securely but when I want it out, it’s as quick or quicker than my owb. They are a little pricey for what they are as far as materials, but the ingenuity is where the value comes from.
I have never been a IWB guy just because I am on the larger side , but you guys nailed it . I have fallen asleep with this holster on me . I just purchased another handgun and I will be placing an order again soon . This is hand down the most comfortable holster I have ever worn and I use it every day . Yes driving with it on is just what they say it is . All their advertising is the truth . 100 % legit if you have any doubts .

Can I adjust the retention level of the holster?
At Houdini Holsters, we've prioritized comfort, concealment, and reliability in our design approach.
Instead of compromise concealment with bulky retention screws, nuts & grommets, we've opted for a sleek and robust steel riveted retention system. This fixed retention ensures consistent and reliable performance over the long term.
With nearly a decade of expertise in the industry, we've fine-tuned our retention system to a perfect medium draw retention level, offering a perfect balance of security and accessibility.
Your firearm will audibly "click" into place, providing ample retention during physical activities, yet allowing for a smooth and reliable draw when needed.
If you require lighter or heavier retention for specific preferences, we're more than happy to guide you through the simple heat adjustment process. However, our default setting is optimized for most users' needs, ensuring a hassle-free experience right out of the box.
