The Transit pairs sueded center cut steerhide with premium saddle leather collar at the mouth for clean re-holstering and a smooth draw, all built to ride on the inside of your waistband on a proper leather EDC belt. Hand-built in the USA by the family-owned DeSantis Gunhide team that's been making concealed carry leather since 1972.
DeSantis Gunhide has been hand-building leather holsters in the United States since 1972. What started at Gene DeSantis' kitchen table is now one of the most trusted names in concealed carry — still family owned, still American made, still building IWB gun holsters, OWB rigs, Pegasus Kydex holsters, and concealed carry belts for everyday carriers who want gear built by hand and backed by our lifetime warranty.
The Transit is a hybrid inside waistband holster built from sueded steerhide reinforced with Kydex and premium saddle leather at the mouth. It is shaped for everyday carriers, off-duty law enforcement, and first-time IWB gun holster users who want a leather carry holster with the re-holster reliability of a polymer collar. Pair it with a quality leather EDC belt for a daily rig that disappears under a t-shirt.
Is the Transit Holster ambidextrous?
Yes. The heavy-duty spring steel belt clip can be moved from one side of the holster body to the other, so the same Transit works as a right hand or left hand IWB gun holster. Same holster, both setups, with full retention either way.
Will the Transit Holster fit my pistol?
The Transit is offered in fitments shaped around specific firearms across Glock, Sig Sauer, Smith & Wesson, Springfield Armory, Ruger, H&K, FN, Beretta, Walther, Taurus, Kahr, KelTec, Rost Martin, Canik, and Anderson Manufacturing. Pick your firearm from the fitment menu before checkout for full trigger guard coverage and a secure fit.
Is the Transit Holster red dot compatible?
Most models of the Transit are red dot compatible. Check the fitment list for your specific pistol, or visit our red dot capable products page for the full lineup of optic-cut DeSantis IWB gun holsters.
What belt should I wear with the Transit?
The Transit rides on traditional belts and modern leather EDC belt setups with enough stiffness to support the loaded firearm. Standard dress belts will sag under the weight and let the holster sway. Pair it with a DeSantis leather gun belt for the right fit, ride height, and concealment.
What carry positions does the Transit work in?
The Transit works for strong side carry behind the hip and appendix carry forward of the hip bone, in both right hand and left hand configurations. Move the clip to the side that matches your draw hand, and adjust the position on your waistband for your preferred ride height and concealment.
Is the Transit Holster covered by a warranty?
Yes. Every DeSantis holster is backed by our lifetime warranty. Hand-built in the USA, made to last, and stood behind by the family that builds them.
