Custom Kydex Ruger Holsters

Most manufacturers follow a simple rule: a new model name means a new holster. Ruger breaks that rule in both directions, which is why guessing goes wrong here more than anywhere else we build.

Half of these 8 configurations are pocket-sized, and their differences sit mostly in the grip — below where a shell does its work. Then there is the RXM, which shares its outline with nothing else Ruger makes. Ask before you assume, in either direction.

Where Ruger Changes Things, and Whether It Reaches the Shell

Ruger’s revisions cluster around the grip: taller floorplates, thicker backstraps, more rounds in the same footprint. A shell takes its hold forward of the trigger guard and along the slide, so a great many of those changes never reach it — and a few of them reach it hard.

That is the opposite of the assumption most buyers arrive with. Find your gun below, and where a line says to check with us, please do.

Pocket .380s and Micro 9s

The reason most people know the name. These are the smallest pistols we press a pattern for, and the ones where a shell that is merely close gives you movement you can feel on the belt.

  • LCP
  • LCP Max
  • LC9
  • Max-9

RXM — Built to a Different Pattern

The newest gun in the line and the only Ruger here that invites a cross-brand comparison, because Ruger built it around an existing standard rather than one of its own.

SR9 — The Full-Size Generation

Ruger’s earlier duty-size striker guns, discontinued but still carried in numbers. Two sizes on one design, and enough weight between them to change where you mount the holster.

  • SR9 Full Size
  • SR9C — compact

5.7 — The Outlier

A long, light, high-capacity pistol in a cartridge almost nothing else here shares. Nothing about its proportions matches the rest of the range, so it is tooled entirely on its own.

  • Ruger 5.7

Deep dive: the Ruger RXM holster page deals with the Glock-pattern question properly, including which Glock 19 shells actually work and which do not.

Two gaps worth knowing. There is no LCP II line in our selector and no Security-9 line at all. The LCP II differs from the original LCP through the grip and takes a different magazine, so if that is what you own, check with us first rather than ordering the plain LCP.

Sure which Ruger you have?

Pick the matching line, add your hand and any light, and the shell is pressed to that specific gun rather than its family.

A pocket .380 and a full-size 5.7 have nothing in common as carry problems. Pick the mounting for the gun, not for the brand.

Light & Optic Ready

Most of This Range Has Nowhere to Put a Light

Being blunt about it saves people money: an LCP and an LC9 have no accessory rail, so there is nothing to hang a light from and no shell we can press to include one. That is a property of the pistol, not a limitation of ours.

Where a rail does exist — the Max-9, the RXM, the SR9 pair and the 5.7 — the choice follows the frame size. A micro takes a compact body such as the TLR-7 Sub or a clamp-on TLR-6; the full-size guns will carry a TLR-1, an X300U or an Olight PL-2 without looking absurd.

Optics. The optic-ready guns in this line, chiefly the Max-9 and the RXM, take a slide-mounted micro dot and our shells for those are cut to clear a shielded housing. Say so when you order, and mention separately if you run taller irons to co-witness — those want the channel opened further than the optic alone.

Why We Ask Instead of Assuming on Ruger

The stock answer in this trade is to group a manufacturer into three or four shells and let tension screws cover the rest. On a line this varied — and this small at one end — that produces holsters which technically close and practically wobble. What we do instead:

  • Pocket pistols are tooled individually rather than sorted into a small, medium and large, since a shell holding a five-inch gun has margin that a four-inch gun simply does not.
  • A gun built to another manufacturer’s pattern gets its own mold anyway, because near-compatibility is exactly the situation where retention quietly goes wrong.
  • Where a line is genuinely missing from our list, we tell you before you order rather than selling you the closest-looking option and hoping.

FAQ

Ruger Holster Questions

Not reliably, and this one deserves a careful answer rather than a quick yes. The changes from the earlier LCP guns to the Max are concentrated in the grip — it is a little taller and wider at the base to take a ten-round magazine — while the slide stayed close. That means some shells do carry over and some do not, depending how much of the frame they wrap. We list the LCP and the LCP Max as separate lines and press them separately, so order the one that names your pistol rather than relying on the overlap.
It is not a line in our selector today, and we would rather say so plainly. The LCP II sits between the original LCP and the LCP Max — it revised the grip and the trigger and it takes a different magazine from the original, so the plain LCP entry is not a safe substitute for it. Get in touch with what you own and we will tell you honestly whether we can press it and what that involves before you spend anything.
Ask us first, because the Security-9 is not currently one of the options in our model list. It is a popular pistol and it comes up regularly, but we are not going to point you at the nearest-looking Ruger and let you find out afterwards. Contact us and we will confirm what we can do. If it is a gun we have not tooled before, that means a mold gets built and tested first, which takes longer than a standard order.
They share a cartridge and nothing else that matters here. The two pistols are different shapes, built by different manufacturers on different frames, and a shell pressed for one will not hold the other properly. We tool the Ruger 57 as its own line, and the FN guns live under their own brand in our selector. Order by the pistol in your hand, not by the ammunition it takes.
No, and it is worth explaining why rather than just declining. Those pistols have no accessory rail beneath the dust cover, so there is no mounting point for a weapon light to attach to in the first place. Nothing about the holster changes that. If a light matters to you and you are still choosing, the Max-9 and the RXM both have a rail and will take a compact unit such as a TLR-7 Sub.
On the pistol shell, no. Ruger’s extended and grip-extension magazines build downward from the floorplate, past the bottom of the frame, and stay clear of the surfaces the Kydex grips. Your holster is unaffected. The spare carrier is the part that has to match, since a moulded pouch grips the magazine body itself, so tell us which one you actually carry when you order.
Mainly the Max-9 and the RXM, both of which take a micro red dot on a slide cut. Our shells for those lines are pressed with a sight channel that clears a shielded optic housing. Mention the dot when you order, and mention taller iron sights separately if you have fitted them to co-witness, since those stand above the optic and need more clearance cut than the optic body on its own.
The Triton Series IWB starts at $50, the deeper-riding Proteus is $60 and the Chronos paddle is $60, with a weapon light adding $20 where the pistol has a rail to take one. Allow 10 to 14 business days, since nothing is pre-made and the shell is cut once we know your exact model. For a Ruger that is not currently in our list, a mold has to be made first and we will quote that time honestly before you commit.
