Black Trident Viking Holster

The Black Trident Viking Holster is an IWB (Inside the Waistband) holster optimized for minimal volume and comfort so you can carry your weapon concealed under your clothing. The holster with the weapon is worn between your body and your clothing. The combination of maximum comfort and functionality makes this holster your perfect everyday companion. Various mounting points allow you to attach a wide variety of mounts to suit your intended use or clothing.

Adjustable mounts & concealment wing for maximum inconspicuousness

In addition to its design, the Viking is characterized by its versatility in terms of possible mounting options. Various mounting points on the holster allow you to adjust your holster in both height and angle. The mounting height allows you to carry the weapon lower or higher depending on your clothing or preferences. The angle adjustment gives you the option of aligning the handle with your body and thus reducing the imprint on clothing. The "Concealment Wing" supplied as standard presses against the waistband / belt from the inside when the holster is mounted at 90°, thus bringing the handle closer to the body. The result: less "print" on clothing. As you can see - inconspicuousness and comfort are the top priority here.

FAQs about the Viking IWB Holster

What mounting does Black Trident recommend for the Viking Holster?

There is no general "best mounting option". It always depends on your intended use. We are big fans of UltiTuck/UltiClip, as this type of mounting can be hidden under the belt or works without it. But that doesn't mean that the other mountings are "bad". Your clothing and mission determine this.

Is the Black Trident Viking Holster compatible with red dot optics?

Yes, the Black Trident Viking IWB holster is compatible with all red dot optics available on the market. Even optics like the Trijicon SRO (protrudes further forward than the standard optic cut).

Is the Black Trident Viking pistol holster compatible with compensators or threaded barrels?

Yes. The Viking pistol holster has an open-muzzle design, which means it can accommodate attachments that are longer than the weapon itself. The holster is made to the length you choose. For example, if you have a Glock 19 with a threaded barrel, it is possible to order a Glock 17 holster. The overall longer holster provides additional protection for the threaded barrel.

I have a sub-compact gun. Can it fall out of my pants?

Of course, with IWB (Inside the Waistband) less is more. Sub-compact weapons have an even shorter slide than compact weapons (size overview: full size - compact - subcompact). Examples of sub-compact weapons are Glock 26, Glock 43, SIG P320 X Compact & Co. This minimizes the possibility of the holster tipping out during movements such as crouching (explanation: crouching. Stomach presses against the handle => subcompact weapon => possibility of the weapon tipping out with the holster). Our recommendation: go for a slide one length longer (example: Glock 26 = Glock 19).

Which light module is recommended for IWB Concealed Carry?

With Inside The Waistband Carry, less is more. Remember: The pistol is carried with the holster between your pants and your body. Therefore, opt for small light modules that have a small size ratio in relation to the trigger guard width and light width. Streamlight TLR7 (available HERE) / TLR8 or Streamlight TLR7 sub (available HERE) are a good choice for Concealed Carry

Possible lighting models:

Streamlight TLR 7 SUB Here	Weapon light for your subcompact Glock
Streamlight TLR 7 A FLEX Here	Ultra light and compact, can be mounted on different weapon models
Streamlight TLR 8 G SUB Here	Laser light module, compatible with Glock® 43X MOS, 48 MOS, 43X Rail, 48 Rail
Streamlight TLR 8 AG FLEX Here	Laser light module - with green laser, mountable on different weapon models
Streamlight TLR 8 A FLEX  Here	Laser light module - with red laser, mountable on different weapon models

Can the Viking pistol holster also be used with gloves?

Yes! When designing it, we made sure that you can immediately create a full grip pattern even when wearing gloves. There is about 30mm of space between the edge of the holster and the handle.

Does the weapon sit securely in the Viking holster? Can it fall out?

The Viking Holster is a so-called "Level 1" holster. This means that the weapon is held in the holster purely by the pull resistance, which is built up by surface pressure on the contours or surfaces of the weapon. You can do anything with the Viking Holster. This holster is built for comfort and safety.

I would like to order a Viking holster with a light. Will the holster fit without a light?

No. A Kydex holster is like a glove for your weapon. It is precisely tailored to the external shape of your pistol. Each holster is made exactly according to your selection.

Weapon + large laser/light module. Is it normal that I "could" reach the trigger

Yes. Light modules that have a larger outer shape in particular must have a corresponding and suitable light channel. Otherwise you will not be able to holster or pull out your weapon. This effect can occur especially when the light modules are "wide". The decisive factor is the distance between the trigger guard and the width of the light module. Logical - right?

Will holstering cause abrasion marks on my weapon / damage the coating?

Weapons are tools. At certain points on the weapon or attachments (trigger guard, bolt, laser light modules, etc.) abrasion marks can appear at so-called "retention points". These are contours where surface pressure is built up. Your weapon will develop abrasion marks through repeated holstering. Use your equipment. No safe queens here.

Is the Black Trident Viking Holster compatible with silencers?

No. The Viking Holster cannot accommodate muzzle attachments that are larger than the standard outer contour of the slide of the weapon itself.
