Arizona’s warm climate calls for lightweight, breathable clothing. Opt for loose-fitting shirts or jackets to conceal your holster without printing. Our slim-profile holsters minimize bulk, making it easier to stay discreet.

**4. Know Arizona’s Carry Laws**
Arizona is a constitutional carry state, but always check local regulations, especially in restricted areas like schools or federal buildings. Stay informed to carry legally and confidently.
**5. Maintain Your Gear**
Clean your kydex holster regularly with mild soap and water to keep it in top shape. Be sure all screws are secure and adjust the retention if necessary. A well-maintained holster ensures reliable performance and longevity.
