Holster Lead Times: From Sampling to Delivery
How long does a holster order take? Here's a realistic timeline from first inquiry to delivered product, so you can plan launches and reorders.
Key Takeaways
- Sampling: 5–7 days to approve fit and finish.
- New molds: a few extra days of CNC tooling.
- Mass production: 15–30 days by quantity and customization.
- Plan reorders early so popular models don't go out of stock.
