Firearms Safety Notice

General Safety Responsibility

Any person handling a firearm must always assume that the firearm is loaded, regardless of perceived condition. Extreme caution must be exercised during handling, storage, transportation, holstering, and unholstering.

Tagua Gunleather products—including leather holsters, nylon holsters, shoulder holsters, ankle holsters, belly bands, magazine carriers, belts, and other accessories—are accessories only and do not replace proper training, situational awareness, or safe firearm handling practices.

Product Fit and Initial Testing

Before using any Tagua Gunleather product with your firearm:

• Always verify the firearm is unloaded, including checking the chamber and magazine well.
• Test holster fit using an unloaded firearm only.
• Confirm the firearm seats fully and securely without interference.

Tagua Gunleather holsters are designed to fit factory-standard firearms. Modifications to firearms—including aftermarket triggers, trigger shoes, grip extensions, optics, lights, lasers, compensators, or other alterations—may affect holster compatibility and safety.

Do not modify or alter any Tagua Gunleather product to accommodate a firearm or accessory for which it was not designed. Alterations may compromise retention, safety, and structural integrity.

Compatibility and Ongoing Inspection

While every effort is made to provide accurate compatibility information, firearm manufacturers frequently update designs, dimensions, and specifications. It is the user's responsibility to verify compatibility using the actual firearm and configuration.

Users must regularly inspect all products—including holsters, straps, belt loops, clips, snaps, screws (if applicable), and any mounting hardware—for wear, looseness, or damage. If any product appears worn, damaged, loose, or unsafe, discontinue use immediately.

Firearm Carry Condition

Carrying a firearm in any condition involves risk. Some firearms and carry methods increase the likelihood of unintentional discharge if not handled properly.

Tagua Gunleather does not dictate carry condition. The user must follow:

• The firearm manufacturer's instructions
• Applicable laws and regulations
• Accepted firearms safety practices

Consult your firearm's owner's manual for proper and safe carry recommendations.

Holstering and Drawing Practices

When holstering a firearm:

• Ensure the firearm is fully seated before releasing your grip
• Keep fingers outside the trigger guard at all times
• Maintain control of the firearm throughout the process

A secure fit helps prevent firearm loss but may create resistance during holstering—especially with new leather. Always holster deliberately and with attention to firearm alignment and position.

Never attempt to manipulate the firearm's controls while it is inside the holster.

Retention and Physical Activity

If your holster includes retention features (passive retention, thumb break, straps, etc.), they must be properly engaged and checked regularly.

During strenuous or dynamic movement, users should maintain awareness of firearm security. No holster eliminates the need for responsible firearm control.

Adjustment and Maintenance

Some products may include adjustable components or hardware. These are not preset and must be checked by the user before use.

Retention hardware (if applicable) should be inspected regularly. Following the manufacturer's guidance for care and maintenance may extend product life and performance.

Personal and Public Safety

Carrying a firearm is a serious responsibility requiring constant awareness. Users must be prepared to prevent unauthorized access or weapon retention incidents.

Individuals carrying firearms in professional or high-risk environments should follow applicable training standards, operational guidelines, and best practices relevant to their role.
