The Base Model can always be upgraded with optional accessories, which is one reason Blackhawk calls the Stache IWB “the most technologically advanced, modular concealed carry holster system that was designed never to be seen.” They also say it’s better than Kydex holsters:
“Designed by concealed carriers for concealed carriers, the Stache™ IWB holster system is the ultimate solution for everyday carry, out-performing the design and material limitations of Kydex®. Through meticulous engineering, the Stache™ holster delivers the optimal combination of comfort, rigidity, and modularity; a feat not possible with Kydex®. It is designed to be worn inside-the-waistband, is constructed of impact reinforced, injection molded polymer, and is compatible with a variety of Stache™ IWB holster accessories.“
