Best IWB Holster for the Shadow Systems DR920: Why We Recommend the Lexington

If you’re searching for the best IWB holster for the Shadow Systems DR920, you're not alone. The DR920 is a top-tier, duty-grade handgun built for performance, and pairing it with the right holster is essential. In this article, we’ll explore why the KSG Lexington stands out as the top carry option (Or the sister holster KSG Revere for those running a light) —and we’ll also walk through what makes the DR920 such a popular choice for concealed carry.

We have several Shadow Systems guns in our safe and I'm always impressed when I take them to the range. The Texas-based firearms manufacturer doesn't pretend to make budget pistols. They are however committed to the mission of delivering high-quality semi-automatic pistols with practical and useful upgrades for the every day concealed carrier or law enforcement officer.

And if you're planning to carry the DR920 concealed? Stick around—we’ll cover what holster the NRA chose to pair with it and why it might be your best option too.

Why Shooters Love the Shadow Systems DR920

Ergonomics & Control:
The DR920 frame features aggressive yet comfortable grip texturing, an extended beavertail, and an undercut trigger guard—all of which promote a higher grip and better recoil control. Plus, its interchangeable backstraps allow you to fine-tune the grip angle to your natural point of aim or the size of your hands.

Upgraded Trigger & Slide:
A crisp, flat-faced trigger with a short, tactile reset comes standard. The slide boasts directional serrations and an optics-ready cut that accepts a wide variety of red dot footprints without the need for plates.

Duty-Grade Reliability:
Extensive testing has shown the DR920 to be highly reliable, with users reporting flawless performance across hundreds of rounds. From recoil management to shot-to-shot consistency, the gun delivers.

Glock-Compatible Ecosystem:
As a Glock 17-compatible platform, the DR920 accepts widely available Glock mags and fits most Glock 17 holsters—making it easy to integrate into your existing setup.

Best IWB Holster for the Shadow Systems DR920: The KSG Lexington

If you’re carrying the DR920 (or any of the variants such as the Elite, Combat, or Foundation) concealed, you need a holster that matches the pistol’s premium quality and purpose-built design. That’s where the KSG Armory Lexington comes in.

Built for inside-the-waistband (IWB) carry, the Lexington is purpose-engineered for serious concealed carriers who demand comfort, concealment, and control. It features:

• Modular concealment options (DCC Monoblock or clips of your choice)
• Excellent trigger guard coverage for safe carry
• Adjustable ride height, cant, and retention
• Optics-ready design to accommodate red dot-equipped DR920s
• Compatible with suppressor height sights and the PHLster Enigma
• Precision-molded fit to the DR920’s frame for excellent retention
• Also available for and compatible with other Shadow System Handguns

Perhaps one of the most important reasons to suggest the Lexington for your Shadow Systems gun is something that the average gun owner doesn't even realize is important. The holster is actually molded and folded around the actual Shadow Systems handgun model you selected when you placed the order. Not a blue gun and not a Glock. This delivers a true and perfect fit.

Worth noting here for those of you who like to run a weapon mounted light on your EDC carry gun that the KSG Revere also shares the same benefits as the Lexington but accommodates the Shadow Systems DR920 or other Shadow Systems guns with the Streamlight TLR-7 series of lights.

Their endorsement speaks volumes about the Lexington’s quality and reputation in the concealed carry world.

“For a pistol like the DR920, you want a holster that matches its attention to detail—and the KSG Lexington delivers.”
