Frequently Asked Questions
Will this holster work with my HK VP9 if I've added a red dot sight?
Yes. The Crucial Concealment Covert IWB is cut from the factory to accommodate most popular red dot sights (RDS) mounted on the HK VP9. This means you don't need to purchase a separate optic-ready model — the standard holster handles both iron-sight and red-dot-equipped pistols right out of the box.
How do I adjust the retention on the Covert IWB holster?
Retention is adjusted via a single tension screw located on the holster body. Tightening the screw increases resistance for a more secure hold, while loosening it allows for a faster, lighter draw. A small flathead or Phillips screwdriver is typically all you need, and adjustments can be made in seconds to match your carry preference.
What is the Trigger Bump and why does it matter for concealment?
The Trigger Bump is a subtle raised feature on the holster body that presses against your belt when worn, naturally canting the pistol's grip toward your body. This reduces grip printing — one of the most common ways a concealed firearm becomes visible through clothing — making it easier to carry discreetly under a t-shirt or light cover garment.
