Will this holster work with my pistol and light?
Directly below is a list of compatible pistol models.

Pistol Fit:

Pistol Fit:
Made specifically for the following pistols, resulting in minimal extra bulk and the best possible fit.

This holster is also made for pistols with the same slide and frame profile as those listed above. This means that the holster will additionally fit the following pistols; there may be extra holster material extending beyond the end of the muzzle for those listed here.

Light or Laser Fit:
This holster fits the following lights, though there will be some material past the end of the light bezel because the holster exactly fits lights with longer bezels.

• TLR-7
• TLR-7X
• TLR-7A

This holster is made exactly to fit the following lights, lasers, or accessories. The holster is molded closely to the profile of these lights. Note that similar looking lights will not fit unless specifically mentioned on this page.

• TLR-7 HL-X
• TLR-7 HL-X

Is this holster compatible with aftermarket accessories (Safariland, G-Code)?
Yes. The M7 comes ready to use with the Werkz Belt Slide, but it is also compatible with a wide range of industry-standard attachments, including Safariland (QLS, UBL, Paddle, Injection Molded Belt Loop) and G-Code (Hanger #39) accessories.

How high does the holster ride?
This holster rides about an inch and a half higher than some of the other holsters that use Safariland accessories. Our included belt slide attachment places the holster at a standard height, but the Safariland paddle does place the holster into a high-ride position. This can be mitigated by using a drop adapter.

Will this holster retain my pistol without the light attached?
No. Please refer to our safety information.

Is this holster compatible with red dots?
Yes. The M7 is compatible with a wide range of optics.

What other common pistol modifications are compatible with this holster?
The M7 often supports suppressor-height sights, threaded barrels, and compensators. However, you must verify proper fit and function. Please refer to our safety information.

Is this holster concealable?
Yes, under the right conditions. The M7 is best suited for open carry but can be concealed under a jacket or loose shirt. The holster has built-in cant to reduces printing, and the Werkz Belt Slide allows you to dial in more (or less) cant as you see fit.

What positions can I wear this holster in?
The M7 is designed for outside-the-waistband on the hip. However, accessories from Werkz LLC or other companies designed to fit the Safariland pattern include drop holsters, thigh rigs, chest rigs, MOLLE attachments, allowing you to adapt this holster to a number of carry positions.

What is the standard cant on this holster?
The M7 has 5 degrees of positive (forward) cant for a better draw. The Werkz Belt Slide (included) allows for you to adjust cant positively or negatively to suit your particular carry style.

Does this holster have active duty retention?
No. This holster has passive click-in retention.

How can I adjust retention?
Retention is adjusted using the retention adjustment screws.

Why should I carry a light on my gun?
Because many self-defense encounters happen in darkness or low-light. With a light on your gun, you're prepared to defend those you love, day or night.

What is it like to draw my firearm with this holster?
Fast and smooth. The trigger guard is undercut, so you can get a full grip on your pistol and get on target quickly.

How long should I expect this holster to last?
This holster is a robust piece of equipment, made from the highest-quality materials. Unlike leather or soft synthetics, it can be washed with soap and lukewarm water. With proper care and use, your holster will last as long as you want. Just be sure to:

• Avoid excessive heat exposure (stovetops, radiators, dashboards in direct sunlight, etc.)
• Use the correct pistol and light in your holster.
