U.S.A.-(Ammoland.com)- I have reviewed a lot of holsters for Ammoland. Most manufacturers make their holsters from Kydex or leather. One type of material I haven’t had the opportunity to try out is Boltaron. That is until JM4 offered me one of their new RELIC holsters to try out for Ammoland.

Before we get into the holster itself, we need to talk about the Boltaron material. Boltaron is a polymer much like Kydex. The advantage of Boltaron is two-fold.

The first advantage of Boltaron is that is stronger than Kydex or most mold injection polymers. With this added strength the Boltaron holster should last longer and be more durable.

Kydex is an excellent material, but one of the issues that it does have is that it has a low heat distortion temperature. Kydex has this heat issue due to its high molecular weight. This low heat distortion temperature is why a lot of smaller holster companies make their holsters out of Kydex because of ease of molding of the material.

The Boltaron has a lower molecular weight than Kydex or even most injection molded holster which in turn gives holsters made of Boltaron a higher heat distortion temperature. Skipping …Read the Rest
