Fobus HPP Evolution OWB Paddle Holster Hi-Point 45 Ruger American

The Fobus HPP Evolution paddle holster delivers secure passive retention for Hi-Point 45 and Ruger American pistols through precision-molded polymer construction. This outside-the-waistband design eliminates the fumbling and adjustment issues common with generic holsters by providing an exact fit tailored to specific firearm dimensions.

What Makes This Different

The Evolution series incorporates Fobus's refined trigger guard lock mechanism that automatically engages when the firearm is holstered, requiring no manual adjustments or retention screws. Unlike traditional Kydex holsters that can crack under stress, this reinforced polymer construction maintains structural integrity through temperature extremes from -40°F to 160°F. The paddle attachment system distributes weight evenly across the belt line, reducing the printing and discomfort associated with clip-style holsters.

Key Features

• Passive retention system locks automatically on trigger guard without manual adjustment
• Reinforced black polymer construction resists impact, chemicals, and UV degradation
• Wide paddle design distributes weight across 4.2 inches of belt contact surface
• Fits Hi-Point C9/CF380/JCP/JHP 45 ACP and Ruger American pistol models
• Right-hand draw configuration with 15-degree forward cant angle
• Steel hardware and reinforcement points at high-stress attachment areas

Field testing demonstrates consistent draw times under 1.2 seconds with proper training, while the retention system holds firearms securely during physical activity including running and climbing. Law enforcement agencies report successful duty use in patrol and detective applications, while competitive shooters appreciate the consistent presentation angle. The polymer material sheds moisture and debris without requiring frequent maintenance, maintaining smooth draw characteristics through extended use.
