Optic Ready IWB Holster | TUKD Red Dot Kydex

Optic Ready IWB Holster: Carrying a Red Dot Concealed

More carry pistols ship with a slide cut for a red dot every year. If you run an optic, your holster has to clear it. An optic-ready shell is molded with room for the sight so it does not drag or block the draw, and so the taller sight picture clears the mouth of the holster cleanly. This page covers what TUKD offers for optic carry and what to confirm before you buy.

What optic-ready means on a TUKD shell

The TUKD ORIGIN and GHOST shells for Glock and Sig are cut for most slide-mounted red dots including RMR, Holosun 507 series, and Romeo footprint. The shell accommodates the optic mounting plate without interfering with the draw. That is the exact clearance stated on those product pages, so it is what you can rely on for those models.

Which TUKD models are optic-ready

The optic clearance claim applies to the ORIGIN and GHOST shells for Glock and for Sig Sauer, which cover optic-cut pistols like the Glock 43X MOS and the Sig P365 XL and X-Macro. Select your exact model at checkout so the shell matches your slide.

A note on the Walther PDP

The TUKD ORIGIN for Walther product page does not make an optic-clearance claim. If you carry a Walther PDP with a red dot, do not assume the shell clears your optic. Contact us first to confirm fit for your specific PDP and optic before ordering. We would rather answer the question up front than have the shell not fit your setup.

What to check before you buy

Your optic footprint. RMR, Holosun 507 series, and Romeo footprints are covered on the Glock and Sig shells. If your optic uses a different footprint, confirm before ordering.
Your exact pistol model. Optic-cut and standard versions of the same gun can differ. Pick the right model at checkout.
Sight height. Suppressor-height or very tall sights change the sight picture over the shell. If in doubt, ask.
Whether you also run a light. A light changes the holster entirely. Choose a GHOST light-bearing shell for that setup.

Who it is for

Carriers running a slide-mounted red dot on a Glock or Sig in the RMR, Holosun 507, or Romeo footprint families.
Anyone buying an optic-cut pistol who wants a shell molded for that exact model.

Who should look elsewhere

Walther PDP optic carriers, until fit is confirmed with us directly.
Carriers running an optic footprint outside the families listed, until confirmed.
Anyone wanting adjustable retention screws. TUKD retention is pre-tuned with no screws.
