How did the holster perform?
Read on to get all of the details.
The Cipher IWB holster was provided to the author for review.
The Henry Holsters Cipher is an inside-the-waistband holster suitable for everyday carry of your preferred self-defense semi-automatic pistol.
When I first handled theSpringfield Armory 1911 DS Prodigy, I fell in love.
Not only is it loaded with features that modern shooters enjoy but it looks amazing.
The first time I took the Prodigy to the range, it was pure joy.
Henry Holsters offers the Cipher in a variety of fits. The author tested the Cipher with his Springfield Armory 1911 DS Prodigy chambered for the 9x19mm Parabellum pistol cartridge.
Whats not to love?
Once I installed the perfect reflex optic for me, I knew my journey was just beginning.
Next up was to find the best holster to suit the look and performance of the 1911 DS Prodigy.
Henry Holsters builds the Cipher IWB holster in the U.S. It is shown here with the Springfield Prodigy andBushnell RXM-300red dot sight.
I didnt want the standardKydex holster.
I wanted a special one of a kind option.
Why Henry Holsters?
Henry Holsters makes the Cipher IWB holster for both the 5″ and 4.25″ versions of the 1911 DS Prodigy.
Henry Holsters is a U.S.-based holster manufacturer.
They are located in Spencer, Indiana, and have been in business since 2009.
They clearly are not rookies in the holster market.
The author tested the Henry Holsters Cipher on the shooting range. He paired the holster with the company’s Foldover Single Mag Carrier.
Henry Holsters offers five separate types of inside-the-waistband holsters.
Each key in of holster is uniquely designed to suit the users preferred needs.
The one I landed on was the Cipher holster for the 1911 DS Prodigy.
The author found that the Henry Holsters Cipher was well-made and tailored to fit extremely well.
The Cipher is a streamlined, ultra-slim ambidextrous holster designed for everyday concealment.
It is available for both sizes of the 1911 DS Prodigy, either 5 or 4.25 models.
The pistol inserts in the holster with a firm fit for strong retention.
This process creates a durable, comfortable holster with just enough adjustability to fit perfectly.
Built with Boltaron
Remember that I mentioned I wanted to try something different than Kydex?
The Cipher is a thermoformed plastic holster that employs Boltaron material.
Henry Holsters prefers the workability of Boltaron over Kydex.
In addition, they explain that Boltaron is more consistent in its thickness and grain pattern than Kydex.
It offers more heat-resistance and it is less likely to scratch a handgun compared to Kydex.
Boltaron will stand up to daily wear without degrading or cracking.
A claw is installed that will also aid in ensuring the pistol stays tightly tucked against the body.
The Cipher holster features an open muzzle, a mid-height sweatguard and generous clearance for optics and suppressor-height sights.
Henry Holsters also produces magazine carriers that can be worn inside or outside the waistband.
The magazine carriers are created with the same foldover process and use the same strong cant adjustable belt clips.
I inserted the 1911 DS Prodigys 20-round magazine in the carrier and it fit precisely.
Both the Cipher holster and the Foldover magazine carrier were discreet and simple to carry and operate.
Their holsters are well-made and tailored to fit extremely well.
The thermoformed Boltaron material is exceptional, and the dual belt clips keep the pistol solidly retained.
The fit and finish with Henry Holsters is also first class.
The MSRP on the Henry Holsters Cipher for the 1911 DS Prodigy is $108.
The MSRP for their magazine carriers is $30.
Henry Holsters products are covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
