FIST Inc. is a NY based company that features custom leather products, law enforcement training supplies, and self defense materials. There are probably best known in the handgun industry for their in-depth line of gun holsters. As a custom leather shop, FIST has the ability to produce some of the finest quality leather holsters on the market.
While most custom leather shops have molds of various holsters, they usually don't allow for much customization beyond that point. FIST takes a completely different approach and give the customer the ability to add a number of additional options or upgrades at the time that the order is placed. For example, a customer can order a leather holster, upgrade to handboning, add a bodyshield, add a tension screw; and have this holster in their hands in 6-9 weeks.
Unlike some other holster makers, FIST uses a heavier grade of leather for all of their holsters. Leather is assigned a rating based on the weight of one square foot of the leather. Many holster makers use a 6-7 ounce grade leather for holsters, while FIST uses an 8-9 ounce grade.
FIST also offers a full array of dye colors so the customer can choose from 8 different colors. FISt also takes a different approach to their line of kydex holsters. Most kydex holster makers use a fairly heavy gauge of kydex that us usually around .70 of an inch. FIST holsters use much thinner kydex and it's available in two different grades: thin and ultra thin. The ultra thin has to be the thinnest kydex I've ever seen and is best suited for IWB applications. The thin is also very thin, and it better suited to outside the waistband holsters.
