Does anybody make REAL carbon fiber composite holsters?

I believe Jim is correct.

Most (all?) carbon fiber you see on holsters is a pattern on kydex or boltaron.

For instance JM Custom Kydex offers carbon fiber patterned kydex https://www.jmcustomkydex.com/FAQS.html

Daranich Tactical does the same https://www.daranichtactical.com/Very_Popular_Custom_IDPA_Holster_p/dt-idpa-holster.htm

as do most kydex makers.

Do you have a maker/makers you are choosing from?

Can you give us links to what you're considering?

Whatever the plastic is they are using, it appears as if "carbon fiber" is listed as a color option and not a material option. That would be consistent with nearly every other holster maker. You could call them and ask if you need more information.

Kee Darnell at RM Holsters does a great job. He will also modify for optics,red dot etc.
