Ozark Dynamics prohibits holsters that cause sweeping or other range safety related issues on the range, such as small of back, crossdraw, and shoulder holsters. These types of holsters have their uses, but on a crowded range we insist upon belt mounted strong side hip holsters that completely cover the trigger guard.
Nylon pouch-type holsters usually do not do well in heavy range use. Inside-the-waistband holsters are often slow or even difficult to reholster the gun and we recommend range-type holsters for the class. Proficiency with range holsters easily translates to real-world holsters and makes the initial learning process simpler.
Synthetic (Kydex) ones are the most durable and serviceable.
