An optics ready holster is specifically designed to accommodate a pistol with a red dot sight or reflex optic mounted on the slide. Standard holsters are molded or sized for a bare slide profile and will not properly fit or retain a pistol with an optic installed because the optic extends the height and sometimes the width of the slide. If you carry a pistol with a mounted red dot such as a Trijicon RMR, Holosun 507C, SIG Romeo, or similar optic, you need a holster specifically designed to clear that optic. Sticky Holsters offers optics ready options that accommodate popular red dot configurations while maintaining the friction-based clip-free design of the standard lineup.
Sticky Holsters optics ready holsters are designed to accommodate the most popular pistol-mounted red dot configurations in use today. Supported optic footprints and sizes include common options found on Glock, Sig Sauer, Smith and Wesson, Springfield Armory, and other popular CCW platforms with factory or aftermarket optics cuts. Use the Find Your Gun tool or Fit Chart at stickyholsters.com to confirm which optics ready holster is compatible with your specific pistol and optic combination before purchasing.
Yes. Like all Sticky Holsters, the optics ready models use the same clip-free friction design that allows them to be positioned inside the waistband, in a jacket pocket, in a bag, or in other carry positions without modification. The optics ready holster accommodates the additional height of the mounted red dot while maintaining the low-profile, clip-free design that makes the standard Sticky Holster so versatile. The same flexibility of carry position applies regardless of whether you carry a bare pistol or an optics-equipped model.
Sticky optics ready holsters are designed to provide adequate clearance for the optic rather than fully enclosing it. The holster covers the trigger guard and secures the pistol for safe carry, while the optic sits in the cleared channel of the holster body. For maximum optic protection during carry, ensure the optic is securely mounted to the pistol with properly torqued screws and thread locker as recommended by the optic manufacturer. A properly mounted optic on a Sticky optics ready holster is suitable for daily concealed carry without concern for optic damage from normal movement.
