Unfortunately, no. While some firearms from the same or different manufacturers may appear the same, the holsters are molded for the exact firearm you will be carrying.
The Flashbang Holster is designed to work with a variety of body types and bras, including underwire, wireless, strapless, and supportive sports bras. Women of all shapes and sizes love their Flashbang Holsters. Because every body is different, and clothing as well as firearm choice impact concealment, the easiest way to get personalized answer is to test the fit for yourself.
Yes, the Flashbang is designed for all-day comfort. The Suede Wrapped version is especially gentle on skin. Be sure to choose supportive bras to keep the holster secure, as slipping and movement decrease comfort.
Absolutely. The Flashbang’s Kydex shell securely covers the trigger guard. The holster’s retention ensures the gun stays in place, even during high-impact activities like running. Because of the Flashbang's unique design, the holster protects access to the trigger even during the draw until the tension of your bra band causes the holster to pop loose from your gun. At this point in the draw, your gun is pointed forward and there is strong momentum out and away from your body.
To Draw: Lift the hem of your shirt with your non-dominant hand, grip the firearm with your dominant hand (nice and high! It's ok to have your hand against the holster. You don't want to have to shift your grip after you draw), and pull firmly down-and-out to release it.
Usually your holster will come out from underneath your bra band as you draw, and that's a good thing as it helps release the gun from the holster. Practice with an unloaded gun until you feel comfortable with the drawstroke and to build muscle memory.
To Reholster: Use your non-dominant hand to hold and support the holster from the back (imagine holding a taco shell). Its important to be aware of your gun's muzzle direction as you reholster. Sometimes this means aligning your body so that the gun is pointed in a safe direction, but it ALWAYS means you need to put your gun into the holster butt-first. Once you get the butt of the gun in place, simply snap the barrel up into the holster, and then re-tuck the holstered gun up under your bra band.
The Flashbang’s low-profile design minimizes printing, even under slim-fitting tops, crop tops or light colored fabric. Layered or slightly loose clothing enhances concealment. The holster tucks horizontally under your bra band, working with your curves for discreet carry.
Regular maintenance is important to maintain the long life and safe function of your holster. Every day, when you put on your gear, check your gun and holster. Look for wear, dirt, or any problems that need fixing. Tighten up any hardware that might be loosening up. (Pro tip: you can use a dot of nail polish on the threads of screws to hold them in place so that they don't tend to move after you've set up your holster the way you want it, or just use Loctite thread locker).
The suede holsters are easy to keep clean. Because of suede's natural ability to help with breathability, it tends to stay fresh on it's own even after repeated wears. But if you decide it needs more than just airing out overnight, you can wash your holster in the sink with warm water and your favorite shampoo. Rinse well and let it dry overnight. The next morning, you can use a towel or even your fingernails to fluff up the suede fibers. It will smell amazing and feel like new.
Kydex is beautifully low-maintence. All you need to do is wipe it down inside and out with a damp cloth as needed. Be sure to let it dry thoroughly before re-holstering your gun.
A word to the wise...kydex is thermoformed plastic. This means that once it reaches a certain temperature, it becomes soft and moldable. Yes, you CAN reach that temperature in a hot car and cause your holster to warp, so please don't leave it in a place where heat can ruin your gear!

TIPS FOR SUCCESS
Practice Makes Perfect: Spend time practicing your draw with an unloaded gun to build confidence.
Choose Supportive Bras: A firm bra band ensures stability, especially for heavier firearms or optic-equipped guns.
Experiment with Outfits: Test the holster with different clothing (e.g., different types of fabric, layers, athletic wear) to find what conceals best.
Optic Compatibility: Flashbang offers optic-compatible holsters for red dot-equipped firearms. Select your gun manufacturer to see available fit options.
Since the Flashbang completely covers the trigger, it can be safely carried in a variety of positions. Feel free to experiment with angles, placement, adjustments to the left or right of center....as long as you can safely draw your gun, your carry position is all about finding what's most comfortable! Remember that your bra band is the workhorse of this setup.
If you find that your holster won't stay in place, and you've tried adjusting your carry position, typically it's an indicator that your bra band is either too loose or too stretchy. A common mistake is trying to switch to a different strap length to resolve issues, and in reality, your strap only serves to keep the holster from coming out with your gun when you draw.
When it comes right down to it, we're trying to strap a large chunk of metal to our bodies. Think about how it feels to get used to a new watch. It takes some time, and maybe some adjustments, and very quickly you start to feel naked when you forget your watch. Holsters are similar. There are a ton of minor adjustments you can make that change the way a holster feels, but sometimes the solution is to take a little time to get used to the new sensation.
The grip of the holster is the only thing fighting against gravity to retain your gun so it has to be snug, but the good news is there’s a technique to it, and once you practice that technique a few time it’s super easy! As you draw, pull your gun in a down-and-out motion so that the holster comes out from underneath your bra band. This will reduce the tension and make it easier to draw. Make sure that your drawstroke is firm and quick so that it causes the holster to "pop" off your gun. A slow or weak draw will create more tension. Watch the videos!
The Flashbang has a safety snap to keep it from coming off by accident. If you’re not familiar with them, they can be difficult. The trick is to hook the little tooth inside the snap first, and then roll it shut. To open the snap, you pull the tab end and "peel it like a banana". Watch the video!
