Understanding the Difference — and Why Tulster’s FlexMod™ System Changes the Game

When it comes to choosing the right holster for everyday carry, one of the most common questions we get is: Should I go with a single-clip or double-clip holster? Both options have advantages, but your choice ultimately comes down to comfort, concealment, and flexibility. At Tulster, we’ve designed a system that delivers the best of both worlds — the Tulster FlexMod™ System — giving carriers complete control over how they carry.

Single-Clip Holsters: Simplicity and Speed

Single-clip holsters are a very popular choice among everyday carriers, and for good reason. With a compact footprint and easy on/off capability, a single-clip holster like the Tulster OATH or Tulster RATH provides a sleek, minimal setup ideal for appendix (AIWB) or strong-side (IWB) carry.

Key Benefits of Single-Clip Holsters:

• Quick On and Off: Perfect for daily carry or frequent wardrobe changes.
• Minimal Profile: Easier to conceal under light clothing.
• Lightweight Design: Reduces bulk without sacrificing retention.
• Flexible Positioning: Simple to adjust for ride height and cant.
• Tuckable Holster: The OATH is tuckable, making it suitable for business casual attire if you need to carry it with a tucked-in shirt.

Single-clip holsters are ideal for carriers prioritizing discretion, mobility, and a low-profile setup.

Double-Clip Holsters: Added Stability and Support

Double-clip holsters use two attachment points to distribute weight more evenly across your belt. This setup is often preferred by those who carry larger or heavier firearms, as it offers enhanced stability and reduced shifting throughout the day.

Key Benefits of Double-Clip Holsters:

• Increased Stability: Keeps your holster firmly in place, even with active movement.
• Weight Distribution: Reduces sagging or printing with heavier handguns.
• Secure Fit: More anchor points for a solid, locked-in carry.

While double-clip designs offer impressive stability, they typically come with a larger footprint and less flexibility for quick removal — which is why many carriers end up wanting something in between.

Enter the Tulster FlexMod™ System

At Tulster, we set out to design a mounting system that delivers the modularity of a double-clip holster with the sleek convenience of a single-clip setup — and the result is the FlexMod™ System.

The Tulster FlexMod™ System allows you to quickly swap attachment options on your holster using a standardized hole pattern and secure hardware. This system employs an additional DCC clip for added stability. The FlexMod™ gives you the freedom to customize your holster without compromising fit or function.

Why the FlexMod™ System Stands Out:

• Modular Mounting: Instantly switch between different clip styles.
• Personalized Carry Setup: Adjust for ride height, cant, or attachment preference.
• Durable Construction: Built to handle daily wear without loosening or shifting.
• Universal Compatibility: Works with Tulster’s lineup of single DCC clip holsters, the OATH and RATH series.

With the FlexMod™, you’re not locked into one carry style — you’re in control.

Choosing What’s Right for You

If you prefer a lightweight, low-profile option with fast on/off capability, a single-clip holster is your go-to. A double-clip setup may be better if you prioritize all-day stability for larger firearms.

But if you want the flexibility to adapt your carry to your lifestyle, Tulster’s FlexMod™ System offers the perfect hybrid solution. Switch it up. Tune it in. Carry your way.

Your concealed carry setup should work for you, not the other way around. Whether you run a single-clip OATH holster, or a rugged RATH holster, or experiment with different attachment methods, Tulster’s FlexMod™ System ensures you can fine-tune your gear for comfort, concealment, and confidence — every single day.
