WALTHER STEEL FRAME HOLSTER OPTIONS

Finding a holster for a newly released handgun can be a challenge. We put together this quick article to assist you in your pursuit. The Walther Q4 Steel Frame and the Q5 Steel Frame models were a return to our “Steel Frame” roots as a company. These models are closely related but they’re unique in their own right. The Q5 Steel Frame is more competition based while the Q4 Steel Frame is duty-driven.

That being said there a number of holsters currently on the market for these two titans. We are working with a number of holster manufacturers right now to bring you even more options. Hopefully, you’ll find this list useful. If you’re aware of any holsters for the Steel Frame series please let us know so we can keep this article updated! 

NOTE: There are a number of holsters available from Safariland that are made for competitors’ handguns that will work with various Q4 SF and Q5 SF models. They work when certain weapon lights are mounted to the SF models. We did not include those on this list because they are not officially approved and thus we do not want to cause any confusion.

EXARCHY HOLSTERS

EXARCHY HOLSTERS – IWB/OWB (Q5 SF)

Exarchy™ Holster Co. was founded in 2017 for one reason, to make a handcrafted holster that functions flawlessly, feels great, and looks amazing. Our founder grew up in Texas, where hunting and shooting was a way of life. He purchased his first handgun (S&W model 442) for concealed carry at the age of 21. He’s been carrying concealed for years, but until founding the company, never had a great concealed carry holster. The marriage of old fashion leather work and new modern plastic materials have dawned a new age for firearm holsters. We didn’t invent the hybrid holster; we just made it better.
