Our Origin Story

Built in Montana. Proven Everywhere.

More than 13 years ago, Warner founded Talon Retention Systems in Montana with a straightforward goal: to build a better holster—one that could provide dependable retention, lasting comfort, and the durability needed for real-world use.

What began as an idea developed through years of hands-on work, testing, refinement, and a commitment to never settle for “good enough.”Through Warner’s dedication and craftsmanship, Talon has grown into the trusted American-made holster company it is today. Every improvement has come through trial and error, customer feedback, and a genuine understanding that dependable equipment must be built with purpose.

Although Talon has grown, the company remains rooted in the same Montana values it was founded on: hard work, honesty, attention to detail, and pride in creating products that are made to last.Talon Retention Systems holsters are designed for durability, versatility, and all-day comfort.

Constructed from high-strength Kydex, each holster features reinforced polymer belt loops or clips, quality-tested metal hardware, and carefully rounded edges that help reduce snagging during everyday use.

Every design is created to accommodate different carry preferences and environments, including open carry, concealed carry, range use, and professional applications.

A 5–10-degree cant helps support effective concealment, while the flat, body-hugging profile keeps the holster close and comfortable when worn under clothing or on the belt.

Many Talon holsters can be converted between different carry styles simply by changing the mounting hardware. This adaptable design gives customers multiple carry configurations without requiring an entirely separate holster. Depending on the model, customers may also select their preferred color, cant, hardware, and carry style to create a setup that works for their individual needs.

Every Talon Kydex holster is American-made with close attention to quality, fit, and craftsmanship.

Talon products have been field-tested by law enforcement officers, military personnel, and firearm enthusiasts around the world, helping the company earn a reputation for consistent quality and dependable performance.

For Warner, Talon Retention Systems is more than a business. It represents over 13 years of problem-solving, innovation, and pride in building reliable products right here in Montana.

That commitment is reflected in every holster that leaves the shop, and it is supported by Talon’s straightforward Lifetime Warranty:

You buy it. You break it. We replace it.
