The Blackhawk Stache Base Holster Kit delivers modular inside-the-waistband carry for Ruger Max-9 pistols with full ambidextrous functionality. This polymer holster system eliminates the compromise between comfort and retention through its adjustable cant and ride height configuration.
What Makes This Different
The Stache Base platform stands apart from traditional IWB holsters through its modular attachment system that accepts multiple carry configurations without purchasing separate holsters. The polymer construction maintains structural integrity under stress while weighing significantly less than leather alternatives. Retention adjustment occurs through a single screw mechanism, allowing users to dial in the exact draw resistance needed.
Key Features
- Ambidextrous design accommodates both left and right-handed draw
- Adjustable cant from 0 to 15 degrees for optimal concealment angle
- Polymer belt clip rated for belts up to 1.75 inches wide
- Precision-molded fit specifically for Ruger Max-9 dimensions
- Single retention screw allows draw weight customization
- Low-profile design minimizes printing under clothing
- Modular platform accepts additional Stache accessories
Field performance centers on consistent retention and smooth draw stroke across temperature ranges. The polymer material resists moisture absorption that can affect leather holsters in humid conditions. Competition shooters appreciate the adjustable retention for match requirements, while concealed carriers benefit from the reduced bulk compared to hybrid designs. The belt clip maintains position during extended wear without the belt loops required by some IWB systems.
