FAQs
Who is BUGBite?
We are a family operated business who live, work and run our business out of the Great State of NY.
It is said that "America is a nation of tinkerers” As a creative family, a family of inventors, we agree. Our inspiration often stems from our own need. When we first shared our new holster idea, it turned out that other people really liked it and also had a need for what we now call BUGBite Holsters.
The idea started from a simple need for a compression wrap for a leg injury, but the idea of wearing a compression wrap AND an the ankle holster worn daily seemed too much, so with a little creative improvisation a successful "compression / concealed carry wrap" was created. This temporary solution to a leg injury / holster was so comfortable that it inspired the making of our first prototype for what we now consider the most comfortable concealed carry holster.
It is incredibly exciting to create a new product, start a small business, and receive the amazing response we have. We are grateful to all our customers who have made our business a success! The outpouring of enthusiasm and feedback has been amazing, and each purchase has allowed us to grow and be able to offer work to our fellow Americans.

What do I do if I'm right between two BUGBite sizes?
The size guide is a good guide, that being said much like any garment fit is a matter of personal preference, the fit can vary depending on how a leg is shaped and how muscular the calf is or not. If you are on the cusp we suggest to up in size. We are happy to assist with an exchange for a different size if need be.

REVOLVERS, will they fit ?
Our personal preference is to use the smallest firearm possible. The BUGBite holster will work with a snub nose revolver up to the same dimensions as we have posted on our website.
With that being said, weight, shape, ease of draw, and comfort with the cylinder on your revolver really is about personal preference, much like any garment your own discretion will help you decide what is right for you.
If you choose to try and find you are not satisfied, you can of course return the holster for a refund.
