Flaming Skull
#02
Aggressive aesthetic with intense orange flames engulfing a skull.
For those who prefer a more aggressive and intimidating look, the Flaming Skull design is unbeatable. The vibrant orange and yellow flames against a dark background create a high-impact visual that stands out on the range. It’s not subtle, and that’s exactly the point.
Distressed American Flag
#03
A subdued, battle-worn interpretation of the Stars and Stripes.
The Distressed American Flag offers a rugged, battle-hardened aesthetic. The grayscale palette makes it versatile and less flashy than full-color options, while the worn texture gives it a sense of history and resilience. A top choice for veterans and patriots alike.
Hexagonal Camouflage
#04
Modern digital camo featuring vibrant green geometric hex shapes.
Moving away from traditional woodland patterns, the Hexagonal Camouflage represents the future of tactical design. The geometric grid combined with bright green accents creates a high-tech, digital look that is increasingly popular in competitive shooting circles.
Topographic Map
#05
Intricate contour lines creating a sophisticated tactical appearance.
The Topographic Map pattern is for the precision-minded shooter. The fine contour lines add depth and texture without overwhelming the firearm’s profile. It suggests a readiness for any terrain and brings a sophisticated, specialized tactical vibe to your setup.
Multiple Skulls
#06
A dark, textured surface covered in a multitude of skull motifs.
Sometimes one skull isn’t enough. This pattern features a dense, textured array of skulls in dark gray tones. It creates a grim, reaper-esque texture that looks almost like a custom stippling job from a distance but reveals its macabre detail upon closer inspection.
We the People
#07
Historic script and imagery honoring the US Constitution.
Honoring the foundation of American liberty, the “We the People” design incorporates the iconic preamble script along with historical figures and the Statue of Liberty. It serves as a constant reminder of the rights and responsibilities of firearm ownership.
Jester & Dice
#08
Playful yet dark theme featuring a jester and gambling elements.
Injecting a bit of dark humor into the mix, the Jester & Dice pattern is for those who view life as a game of chance. With glowing red eyes and a mischievous grin, this design breaks away from standard military themes to offer something unique and character-driven.
Shark Mouth & Military
#09
Inspired by WWII fighter nose art, featuring the classic shark mouth.
Drawing inspiration from the legendary P-40 Warhawk nose art, this design brings aviation history to your holster. The aggressive shark mouth combined with military insignia and a red star creates a fierce, combat-ready look that pays homage to the heroes of the past.
Cow Print
#10
Distinctive brown and white animal print for a unique rural aesthetic.
