The Comp-Tac Paddle Holster was manufactured with quick deployment in mind. The holster comes shipped with a paddle rather than traditional mounting hardware, allowing the user to slide the holster over an already secured belt. The backing curves over the user's belt and pants, allowing the paddle to sit inside the waistband. The paddle is also manufactured with two forward curving tabs, that secure to the bottom of the belt, helping stabilize the holster. The Comp-Tac Paddle Holster may be worn with any pants regardless of where pant loops are located.
