In this review the CYA Supply Co. Base IWB Concealed Carry Holster is evaluated for users who carry a Beretta APX Carry Subcompact or APX A1 Carry with a 3in barrel and no red dot or light attachments. The bottom line: this is a straightforward, no-frills inside-the-waistband option built from 0.08in Boltaron with a full-length sweat guard and an audible Posi-Click retention lock, making it ideal for everyday concealed carry when reliability and low cost are priorities.

Key Features

• Custom fit: Precision CAD-milled molds provide a tight, repeatable fit for the Beretta APX Carry Subcompact and APX A1 Carry with a 3in barrel, keeping the pistol secure without excess movement.
• Material and build: Constructed from 0.08in Boltaron material and stainless steel hardware with black powder coat, this holster resists wear and maintains shape under daily use.
• Retention control: An easily adjustable retention screw and an audible Posi-Click lock let users set pull resistance and get a confident tactile cue on draw and re-holster.
• Concealment design: Inside-the-waistband profile with a 1.5in belt clip and up to 15 degrees of cant allows discreet carry with common dress belts.
• Sweat protection: A full-length sweat guard shields the slide from perspiration and reduces wear on handgun controls while improving comfort.

Who It's For

This holster is best for owners of the Beretta APX Carry Subcompact or APX A1 Carry with a 3in barrel who want a durable, low-profile IWB option for daily concealed carry. It suits people who prefer a molded Kydex-style carrier with adjustable retention and a solid belt clip for dress or casual belts.

Those who need an optic-ready mount or plan to use a weapon light or laser should look elsewhere, since this model does not accept red dot optics or light/laser Picatinny attachments. Shooters who need pancake-style carry or outside-the-waistband solutions should consider different shapes or mounting systems.
