Always check compatibility with your specific firearm. Included in the package Houston CHMA XL holster Integrated spare magazine pocket Holster attachment Pistol and spare magazine are not included. Frequently Asked Questions Is the Houston CHMA XL suitable for both hands? Yes. The manufacturer specifies this model as ambidextrous. The holster should be installed on the chosen carry side and then checked for safe positioning and access to the firearm. Is the CHMA XL compatible with the Glock 17? Yes. The Glock 17 is included in the manufacturer’s published compatibility list for the CHMA XL. However, compatibility should always be checked with your specific firearm generation and configuration. Does the holster fit the SIG Sauer P320 X5? Yes. The manufacturer lists both the SIG Sauer P320 and P320 X5 as compatible models. What does XL mean? XL refers to the size class of this holster family, designed for larger and full-size pistols. It does not automatically guarantee compatibility with all XL-size or full-size firearms. Does the holster have a spare magazine pocket? Yes. There is an integrated pocket on the side of the holster for carrying one spare magazine. The dimensions and secure fit of the magazine should be checked before use. Can this model be worn in OWB position? The manufacturer’s current product description specifies inside waistband carry. Since OWB carry is not separately confirmed, the CHMA XL should be considered an IWB holster unless the manufacturer or packaging provides different information. Is the CHMA XL compatible with pistols equipped with a weapon light or laser? The standard CHMA XL variant does not specify compatibility with lights or lasers. For a pistol with such accessories, choose a model marked W/LASER by the manufacturer and check the fit of the entire firearm combination. Is the holster optic cut? The manufacturer does not describe the CHMA XL as an optic cut holster. An open-top design does not automatically guarantee sufficient space for a red dot sight. When is the Houston CHMA XL the right choice? The CHMA XL is suitable for users looking for a soft, ambidextrous holster for carrying a larger pistol and one spare magazine. It is a practical solution when the firearm is listed in the manufacturer’s compatibility list and a more flexible construction is preferred over a rigid, model-specific holster. A rigid, model-specific holster is a better choice if you want precisely molded fit, clearly defined retention, or confirmed compatibility with a red dot sight, weapon light, or laser. Expert recommendation Check compatibility with a completely unloaded firearm. The holster must fully cover the trigger guard, and its material or clothing must not intrude into the trigger area. The firearm should remain secure while standing, sitting, walking, and bending over. The condition of a soft holster should be checked regularly. If the holster has lost its shape, the attachment is loose, the stitching is damaged, or the lining starts to hinder holstering, the holster should be taken out of use. Practice drawing and reholstering only in a safe place with unloaded equipment. Soft holster for full-size pistol and spare magazine The Houston CHMA XL combines a larger holster size, ambidextrous construction, open-top design, and integrated magazine pouch. It is a versatile IWB solution for several full-size pistols listed by the manufacturer.
