Why Choose Us
Why Choose 717 Holsters
In a market flooded with mass-produced gear and long wait times, we built 717 Holsters to do things differently.
We don’t believe you should have to choose between quality, personality, and fast turnaround. You should be able to have all three.
Built for Speed Without Sacrificing Quality
One of the biggest questions we get is:
Why do you use white Kydex for most of your printed designs?
Simple — it allows us to keep inventory smart and efficient.
Instead of stocking massive amounts of every color variation imaginable, we focus on white Kydex as our base so we can sublimate designs in-house quickly and consistently. This keeps our inventory lean, our workflow streamlined, and most importantly — it allows us to get holsters out the door in just a few days.
We focus on what matters:
- Fast turnaround
- Clean execution
- Consistent quality
All Designs Sublimated In-House
Every printed design you see is done right here by us.
We don’t outsource our sublimation.
We don’t ship it off to a third party.
We don’t cut corners.
By keeping production in-house, we maintain:
- Quality control
- Design precision
- Faster fulfillment
- Creative flexibility
If it leaves our shop, it meets our standard.
Personally Built & Tested
717 Holsters isn’t a faceless warehouse operation.
Every holster is personally handled, inspected, and tested before it ships. Retention is checked. Hardware is tightened. Fit is verified.
If it doesn’t pass our standard, it doesn’t leave.
As an active Firefighter/EMT, I understand the importance of reliable equipment. When something rides on your belt daily, it needs to work — every time.
That mindset carries into every holster we build.
Custom Look — Without Custom Wait Times
Here’s the reality:
Most “in stock” holsters online are plain black.
If you want something unique, printed, or custom, you’re usually waiting weeks.
We wanted to change that.
Our goal is to make buying a custom or printed design holster:
- Easy
- Fast
- Accessible
Whether you’re walking into a retail location or ordering online, you should be able to grab a design you love without waiting a month for it.
We build with shelf availability in mind.
We build with quick shipping in mind.
We build so you don’t have to compromise.

We’re a small, family-owned company located in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey.
