So many people have asked me to recommend a holster that is both comfortable and affordable. Here's my personal ranking, along with hands-on reviews.
FYI, Prices and ratings are accurate as of time of writing.
1. ComfortTac - Belly Band Holster for Concealed Carry
HIGHLIGHT:
Works with practically every single popular brand.
OVERVIEW:
This is a belly band-style CCW holster made of neoprene, like a lightweight scuba suit. It is comfortable as it will mold and work with the body. No matter what I did, it was always the same. The holster on this setup will fit pretty much everything. The design is a pocket where the gun drops in, and a metal snap retention band holds it. Next to the holster is a pocket where all the pictures show a cell phone being held. I don't see why it would not. I keep mine in my pocket, and reaching under my shirt to check a text would be dumb to me.
BACKGROUND:
Before finally buying this, I used a holster that I slid inside of my pants to let me carry my gun with me wherever I went. I liked it enough, it was affordable and lightweight, but the biggest downside is that it was obvious. You just knew I was holding. And that wasn’t what I wanted. I didn’t want to have to constantly yank my pants up or tug my shirt down. I was pretty much getting panted with my own weapon haha. I especially didn’t want to worry about it being obvious. Finally, I realized that I needed to invest in an actual carry holster, and I’m so happy I ended up getting this one. It’s everything I could have wanted and more, for real. Now when I wear it, I honestly forget that it’s even there. I can drive my car without even noticing that it’s there, it doesn’t even bother me.
DAILY USE:
I love that I look pretty good with in on whether I wear it with jeans or with sweats,. Yeah, it’s only been a week, but I’m definitely in one hundred percent on this thing. I’ve worn it for an entire day, like thirteen hours once, and had zero issues with it. I love it that much. Now, I can’t talk about what it’s like to wear this with a tighter shirt, I tend to wear looser clothing, so just keep that in mind, that if you’re wearing something tight on the skin, it might be obvious what you’re hiding under your shirt. Another thing, this belly band would look like a back brace if I kept my flannel shirt open. The advertisements show this being worn outside the shirt, and it seems like it may be an excellent way to carry when doing something active if that is what someone may want to do. It's ideal for any of the most popular pepper ball guns, and even for our top-selling paintball markers.
ADJUSTABILITY:
I really like how I can adjust the size of this, too. I’m planning to ditch my remaining quarantine weight, and I like knowing that I don’t have to buy an entire new one, and that I can end up using this one again.
MAG HOLDER:
The holster has a spare magazine holder that will fit a double-stacked magazine. This magazine holder also has a metal snap-top retention, so all the stuff I put into it stayed there.
DESIGN OPTIONS:
The holster can be ordered in left-hand or right-hand draw and fits around the shooter. It is not women's or men's style, just black neoprene that is a certain length. This means more than one person could use this holster when they needed it. I have seen pictures of these styles of holsters being worn high so the gun can fit like a shoulder holster, but I didn't see that working once I moved, so I did not try that method.
OVERALL:
I just love this thing so much. It gives me zero pain throughout the day, no soreness or weird rubbing, and I don’t even sweat when I wear it. I’m so happy that I can wear this whenever I want. I love this enough to write this review, and I never write reviews, so that should tell you all you need to know!

2. Alien Gear - Shapeshift 4 in 1 Holster
HIGHLIGHT:
Adaptable to all situations and super versatile.
MAKER DETAILS:
If you didn't know already, Alien Gear is the brand name for the most popular USA-made holsters, and has become the go-to referral name for practically every gunner I know.
UNBOXING NOTES:
It was packaged super well, and I like that nothing gave it away, either. The box is definitely better than other ones I’ve seen in the past on holsters. The instructions and everything I needed was right on top when I opened it up. It has everything you need right there, and they’re packaged well in between foam pads.
FULL PACKAGE:
This manufacturer will make holsters to fit you and your gun setup. For example, if I want a holster for my 1911 with a tactical rail and a light, this maker will mold it to fit precisely. You pick the size (gun brand). The intake will also ask what hand you shoot with. They really do a great job of asking how to make it perfect. You get a package (a kit) with 4 high-end products, all of which are manufactured right here in the US of A. So even though the price is a bit higher, I think it's worth it, because here's what you get:
1) IWB
2) Appendix
3) OWB Paddle
4) OWB Belt Slide
CARRY SETUP:
The gun holster will be set to my preferred forward and probably rear cant if I feel a need for that. It can be adjusted to fit the type of retention I wanted, and it worked very well for the open holster. It’s super easy to handle and I love how interchangeable it is. You can switch between different carry styles without issues at all.
BUILD & RELEASE:
The holsters are designed to fit close to my body and do not lend themselves to printing. This is very clothing and situation dependable. For instance, if I wear a OWB on my belt and wear a long T-shirt to the gas station, everyone there will know I have a gun under my T-shirt; there is no hiding that. To wear this on my belt and a flannel shirt over the top of that, no one will be the wiser. If I wear the flannel shirt and it's 95 degrees outside in the summer, I'm pretty sure I will give it away, but the gun will not print, and that is the point.
RELEASE MECHANISM:
It has a quick release that lets you take out the pistol while it’s still inside the holster, which is exactly what I wanted. It’s like the Black Hawk Holsters in that regard, and that’s what I wanted. With the Black Hawk ones though you have to remove two clips before you can remove the gun from the holster, whereas with this one you just push a button. Personally, I prefer this–makes it easier for high stakes situations, if you know what I mean. You do have to hit that button again when you’re putting the holster on the paddle, but that doesn’t bother me that much. It’s also a bit more narrow than the Black Hawk one, but I’d say it’s equally as comfortable. Overall, it’s everything I wanted and more. The quality is great, the versatile options are exactly what I was hoping for and it’s really well worth the price. As long as you don’t mind the button part, you’re gonna like it. I definitely do! And it also works with my air pistols, of which I own several.
OVERALL:
The material is really amazing. It's thick and supple. So, all in all, you get a kit from the number 1 holster manufacturer in America, so you basically get every single option. I couldn't recommend this holster kit more. I'm not kidding. I come from law enforcement and this is the first kit for civilians that is actually worth the money. Also, this brand has a No Questions Asked return policy. Get it now. Thank me later. By the way, no one paid me to write this review. This is my personal hands-on take on the Alien Gear holster kit. I will update this review in a few months.

3. Concealment Express - IWB KYDEX Holster
HIGHLIGHT:
Adjust without effort and experience all day comfort.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
When I receive a holster for review in the mail, I always check the build quality first. I look for four things in a CCW holster: fit, finish, retention, and comfort. The holster arrived, and I looked at this option and how comfortable it would be to carry under my shirt, attached to my belt all day long, everywhere I go.
FIT & COMFORT:
The holster stops short of the undercut on the grip; this makes retrieving the gun faster and gives a better grip from the holster. The other thing about this short holster is that the gun will dig into me all day. I don't carry guns that are rounded enough to sit against my side like this. The inside of the holster looks very clean and will not mark the gun or finish with any type of burrs or poorly secured screws or rivets. The holster does not have a way to spread the weight against my belt or the waistband. The entire holster fits inside the pants, which will spread the weight quite a bit, but the holster is secured to the belt with a single clip. The heavy-duty clip will securely hold the holster to the belt and stay in place all day. The style of the belt must be made to carry and retain a gun all day, or any CCW holster and carry will roll the belt and make it so uncomfortable that I will take the gun off and lock it away.
RETENTION:
The holster does offer the ability to screw the plastic tighter to create more tension to fit the gun exactly as much as I want it retained. The holster is designed to retain against the front of the trigger guard. This does not have anything that protrudes into the trigger guard, like the Blackhawk Sherp, and touches the trigger. This retention is more like a pinch on the gun by the holster.
ADJUSTMENT NOTES:
I did adjust the clip's cant to tilt forward, and it remains in place very well. The ease of draw was much better because I had a CCW holster that would allow me to make it fit the way I needed to draw the gun, rather than how the holster looked good in an ad or was made without considering the differences in shooters. Sometimes, I wear my pants up super high, and while some people say that it might work for them, nope siree, not for me, bud. I tried a couple other options, and while a lot of people said I that it was just cheap, and that’s why it was the way it was, I just can’t justify dishing a hundred bucks to holster a gun three times that size. I ended up adjusting this after a few attempts, and wow! I mean, I created the best holster I ever thought possible. And it was just as simple as making a few simple changes with measuring it. No joke, I can jog, stand, run, and even squat (not that my squatting is great haha) but it doesn’t bother me or poke into my skin when I do that. I can even bend over and put my shoes on without feeling any pain, and I can seriously wear just about any piece of clothing without it bothering me. Seriously, I actually forgot that it was on me, which is freaking awesome. I’ve never had that happen before.
PERSONAL MODS:
This is what I did to make this holster work for me:
- I used a drill to make some holes in the belt clip area, so I didn’t have to keep loosening and adjusting the belt clip up and down. The gun has these little screw backings to it, so doing it this way takes away the risk of scratching it.
- There’s this little rubber insert that lets you to kind of adjust the trigger retention. You do that with the insert thing on the belt clip, and you’re supposed to have it pretty tight, and I dunno about you, but I prefer my retention on tight anyways. So then you just add in the rubber insert where you want the screw, and it like pushes the butt of the weapon against your body, but reduces the printing. It makes more sense when you do it, trust me.
-Using sandpaper, you can brush down the material on the front sight. I think the sanding down helps and lets it go a good amount of way to make this holster the best it can be.
- This next one is just my personal preference, so keep that in mind!
Whatever pushes the inside of the belt and pulls the gun butt closer to your body, you’re gonna take like aluminum and and essentially attach it to the screw that controls the trigger retention - in order to allow extra comfort and concealment.
SUMMARY:
So to sum things up... Yeah, it might sound like a lot work, but I think it’s still worth the five stars if you ask me. The price definitely helps! But keep all those details in mind, maybe it won’t be for you.

4. Nehostertfy - Tactical Drop Leg Holster
HIGHLIGHT:
Allows complete adjustment on thing between nineteen and twenty seven inches.
FIRST LOOK:
I think the wrong holster was added to the box, and this drop-leg holster also came. So, I figured I would review it, and it can be concealed if I wore a raincoat or walked around in the pitch-black dark.
BUILD & MATERIALS:
The drop leg strap is made from high-speed nylon and is sewn very well. The straps are terminated in heavy-duty plastic clips, as I have done on some camping and shooting gear. The actual holster is made from heavy-duty nylon, and the front of the holster has a thin and weak nylon magazine holder. The magazine holder does have an over-the-top retention flap that keeps stuff out of the magazine and keeps the magazine firmly in place.
FUNCTION:
The holster section has a retention strap, but it has to be removed in the Old West style by pulling the strap upward, which gets in the way of the gun removal. The holster will hold all of the large-frame pistols very well; this is made a lot like a military holster.
STRAP SYSTEM:
The drop leg section is made to secure the gun to the gun belt by the heavy nylon webbing. The drop leg strap allows the weapon to move as I move, making it comfortable to carry all day. It may be good to carry on the Four-Wheeler to keep this from binding up on my belt or ripping off when I get in the brush.
DURABILITY:
This holster sells for less than 20 bucks on Amazon. I worry about the long-lasting quality of the materials for that much money. I guess time will tell, and I will try to wear this out before I drive too far on the Four-Wheeler so I don't lose the expensive parts. I mean, I like this thing a lot, definitely better than my last holster. But I wouldn’t necessarily depend on this to save my life lol. It’s pretty good for non life threatening activities like if you wanna use it for range shooting, firearm storage, or just having it around as an extra gun. What about competition use? Mehhhhh. I wouldn't count on it for that.
VALUE:
It has a cool tactical look, and yeah, it’s not terrible, but honestly just remember that it’s not designed for quick draws, and if you can accept that, you’ll probably like it. From my experience, it’s more of a storage solution for an extra pistol, like it’s not something that cops are going to use for work. The Velcro just isn’t strong enough for that to work, and I don’t think the material is really gonna hold up if you get into a tussle and end rolling around on the ground with someone. So yeah, if you’re a cop, you’re probably not gonna use this. But hey, if you’re in that line of work, you probably guessed that just from the price.
INTENDED USE:
This holster is pretty universal, though. It uses the Velcro to stick the different pieces together, which is cool cause it lets you fit it to almost any handgun. I adjusted it to fit mine, and it worked just fine. I mainly got it as a cheap way to carry a pistol as a backup to my rifle. You know, so I can essentially fend off those post apocalyptic mobs of post election rioting zombies or maybe the coronavirus raiders.
OVERALL:
In all seriousness, I think this is a solid holster for a good price. You’re getting decent value as long as you know what it’s actually designed for.

5. LPV - Ankle Holster for Concealed Carry
HIGHLIGHT:
No-questions-asked lifetime warranty.
EARLY TAKEAWAYS:
Ankle holsters are a unique animal. Very few of these holster styles work well; unfortunately, this one does not. The ankle holster design was flawed from the beginning. I have had many of these holsters over the years, and I really want one to work as it should, but I have not found one that does. The, after spending almost a hundred bucks on some big name brands and being disappointed in the comfort and size, I decided to give this one a go. I really can’t be happier! It fits like a glove, and it holds my weapon securely and even holds an extra magazine comfortably. Also it doesn't print at all, and most importantly, it does NOT fall down!
BUILD QUALITY:
This holster is made from heavy-duty nylon and is worn comfortably. That is not the issue - it's Velcro. The holster is sewn into the securing strap, and the calf strap and garter are well-built. Engineering is not the issue; it's the securing of materials.
PERFORMANCE:
The Velcro wears out after taking the holster off in about a week or so; after two weeks, the Velcro would not secure. This is the nature of Velcro; anyone who has used an item that the Velcro is ripped or whatever it is called, the hooks will eventually fail. The fuzzy side will always be in good shape unless it gets washed; I don't know why that seems to ruin Velcro for me. When the Velcro works, this holster is comfortable and holds the pistol on my ankle well. When I wear an ankle holster, the weight of the gun and the way it swings as I walk always bothers me. That is my take on ankle holsters; some friends like them, and two buddies wear one daily, so it may just be me.
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT:
I think the extra strap with the buckle around the top of the calf is definitely the key to keeping everything in place. I spend eight to ten hours a day on my feet and this ankle holster almost goes unnoticed.
STABILITY:
I've worn ankle holsters before, and with the ones I used to have, the upper hook and loop became unstable, and my weapon would drift towards my ankle, which is not what you want. Not good at all. At one point, I was even using duct tape to reinforce the top strap haha. This new holster's simple nylon strap makes all the difference. It's comfortable, and I don't have to worry at all about it sliding down my leg.
ODOR:
The only downside I have is that it gets smelly after weeks working outside, but that’s more about the weather than anything haha, so I ended up just buying two more to rotate it.
WOMEN’S FIT:
My wife ended up getting one for herself, too, after an attempted break in really scared her. She didn’t like how the shoulder holster felt, but found that the ankle holsters were the most comfortable. Seh could even wear it under her dresses, which makes her feel good. I like how the holster attaches in two places, right under the knee and just above the ankle.
VERDICT:
Both of us also like that it has a retention strap, which gives it extra peace of mind. It can be a little finicky when tightening the velcro straps. My only complaint is the top strap doesn't fit super well around my larger calves, but the bottom part fits great. Despite this, neither of us had any issues with the gun slipping so that was nice! Overall, I really just think that this is great for concealed carry when a hip holster won't work.

6. AIKATE - Deep Concealment Shoulder/Underarm Holster
HIGHLIGHT:
Shoulder and underarm holster ideal for women and men and comes in dual sizes.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
I've worn shoulder rigs for decades, (yeah, I’m old haha) and that goes way back to my Army days…so when I ordered this one, I had some hesitations, but that’s because I’ve seen a lot of what’s out there. First impressions? I knew it wouldn't be the best of the best, especially since I was comparing it to the military level products, but I was actually kinda shocked. And in a good way! And that’s a lot coming from me haha.
FIT & COMFORT:
This shoulder holster is like using a sports bra instead of the standard style. The wide belting and straps do not dig into the shooter. The one problem with this advantage is that it is hot to wear all day. Making this holster and harness out of nylon and secured by Velcro allows this holster to fit the way I wanted it to. Then, my wife would wear it differently. This holster will fit the shooter, not make the shooter fit the holster.
SECURITY:
The holster will keep the gun secure and not flop around at all. The security of wearing a shoulder holster is excellent; the only way to get the gun away from the holster is to pull it from the front.
DURABILITY:
The Velcro will wear out after a while. This is the nature of Velcro. The hook part will eventually wear out and stop gripping. This looks more comfortable than it is. I have owned one expensive leather shoulder holster in my life, and that is the example I hold all shoulder holsters against. The nylon belts and straps made me sweat in about ten minutes. The straps fit tight against the body or shirt if worn outside the clothes. If I put anything against my skin and let my body heat build up behind it all day, I will sweat; we all will.
REAL WORLD USE:
It actually met my expectations–and then some. Especially for the price. So no seriously negative complaints from me. I got it to carry my gun when I go around my property. It gets the job done, and I’m giving it four stars for that, and only taking off one star. And this is why.
PROS:
- Material is stretchy which is nice.
- Velcro is of great quality, definitely comparable to top options.
- Price is awesome.
CONS:
- It's a hassle to get on without it twisting around.
- Material isn't the best if you ask me.
- Rides a bit too high under the shoulder, but it is what it is, I may be a little picky.
VERDICT:
Not only was I in the Army, but I ended up owning a gun shop, so yeah, I have experience with these things. So yeah, it’s not the highest quality rig, but it works and gets the job done and, for the money, it's not bad. What I really don't like about it is that it's one-size-fits-all. The way the holster is made, the gun will not move in the holster or won't move much anyway. But, for a holster that can carry a gun when I am on the ATV and not have it getting into the brush, that makes me pay attention, and for about twenty bucks, why would I not get one?

7. Relentless Tactical - Leather IWB Holster
HIGHLIGHT:
Fits a variety of similar sized handguns for easy use.
FIRST LOOK:
I'll admit, I’m not big on reviews, but I have to say that I was definitely on the skeptical side when I first pulled this out of the package. It was a serious tight fit, so much so that I almost returned it right out the bag. My pistol didn’t even go in all the way, so that was annoying and definitely not a good first impression. I was fairly close to just turning it back right then and there haha. But honestly leather is beneficial in that sense, it’s a natural material that breaks in over time and after sitting in a warehouse and then the delivery process, it’s likely going to go through different temperatures and be a lot more rigid right off the bat. It definitely loosened over time. Now I can tell that the leather is really high quality and you can see how solid the stitching is. I can tell it’s gonna last a long time. Also love how sturdy the belt clip seems, but time will tell on that, you know?
MATERIAL QUALITY:
The leather and stitching are excellent and robust. The way this is made should cost more. The leather is not super leather like the one from Galco and that maker level, but it is not far behind. The belt clip is made from metal, so old-school guys like me will be happy. However, the clip cannot be moved or adjusted to fit the draw or how I carry it.
FIT & COMFORT:
This pure leather holster costs under fifty bucks, so I will go ahead and get over the minor cons. Using leather in this holster will make the whole package thicker, so a three-o'clock inside the pants will not work if a person has any bones, as most of us do. Now, a four-o'clock carry is the magic spot. With the thickness, I will not lie and say this gun felt like it was not there after a few hours; that is incorrect. I felt the gun all day, but the leather felt great against my body.
DURABILITY:
I am sure the leather will discolor from sweat and wear after years, maybe even months, of use. I don't like to carry IWB; I am a snug OWB guy. I am also a big guy and don't like the gun jabbing the hell out of my gut all day, either. The way the leather holster looks, this holster would fit in an executive EDC. It can be stained to match a belt, etc., for this low price for a genuine leather holster; I could get multiple holsters to dye the same as all my belts and shoes or whatever needs a matching holster for looking fabulous.
PROS:
- The G-19 fits really good (even though the muzzle sticks out a bit).
- Quality of leather is impressive.
- Great price.
- Stitching is durable and professional quality.
- Clip holds well especially with a stiffer leather belt.
- There's a hole in the bottom that lets the holster work with different sized guns.
- Leather feels better than other materials.
- Love how it doesn’t burn my skin after being in the car for a day.
CONS:
- The leather has a portion that sticks out, making drawing with the shield kinda not the most ideal situation.
- It’s a little thicker than other options.
- Double rim of leather rubs skin and can irritated it (hopefully this softens up).
- Not really waterproof.
- Not closed at bottom, and the barrel can ride up or loosen in the holster.
VERDICT:
For the most part, I’m really happy with this thing. I’ll probably end up using this holster more than my other ones because even with those cons considered, it’s definitely more comfortable and that’s what I really wanted. However, keep in mind that the material is dependent on the weather, and I live in a place that rains a lot, so yeah, I’m gonna have to consider that so it will be a day by day experience.

8. POLE.CRAFT - Glock 19, 23 and 32 IWB Kydex Holster
HIGHLIGHT:
Ideal for different types of Glock handguns.
PERSONAL BACKSTORY:
I’ve dished out the dough on all the high end pieces on the market, and when I tell you that I’m essentially creating a collection of dusty holsters I never use, I mean it. Ask my wife. She did not want me to buy another because she was afraid it would just end up in "show pile." But I’m happy to report that this one is not the case. It’s completely concealable, which is obviously the purpose, and while I wouldn’t exactly call it perfectly comfortable, that’s not really the point, if you ask me. Put it this way, I wouldn’t be wearing it every day if it irritated me. You’re aware it’s there, but it’s not painful to wear or anything. High end options tend to sit above the waist, whereas this one dips just below, and I actually like that.
CUSTOM FIT:
The maker will ship this holster made to the exact specifications of my gun. The one that came to me was made for the M&P Shield, so I went to the gun store locally and borrowed one to check out how it fit and functioned. I feel this manufacturer has taken the time to talk to folks who carry concealed all the time, every day.
SHAPE & FIT:
The Kydex is formed precisely to fit and will hold the gun perfectly. Because the firearm fits loosely, this holster will not wiggle around. The Kydex model is also molded around the mag release, which is awesome. Essentially that means that you can’t accidentally press the mag release button. It’s a solidly built, no frills model, and the fact that it’s priced this well is just an added benefit and super awesome.
CARRY NOTES:
The holster is worn inside the belt, and a standard hook/clip hooks it to the belt. The clip is made from plastic and seems to give way, and it does not feel like it will snap due to being too ridged. The clip is not weak and will not break easily; it is probably the type of plastic it is made from.
COMFORT:
This holster claims a full-length sweat guard, but I cannot determine their discussion. I am sure this is an operator error on my part. This is one of the only CCW holsters that covers the entire gun as it sits against my body. The manufacturer has taken the time to round off all the edges, and comfort is taken into thought and done very well.
REAL WORLD USE:
It feels sturdy and super strong. I think this is definitely worth the purchase, and my wife finally agrees! I also don’t have to worry about it falling off when I ride my motorcycle - issues I’ve had believe it or not on the more expensive models. I do get a few marks on the side of my slide, but that’s about it. I can wipe it off with a rag, so no biggie.
USER TUNING:
The clip can adjust for forward and some rearward tilt or canting. The tension is adjustable and needs to be set, or the gun will not come out of the holster; it is formed that way exactly.
OVERALL:
This holster comes with all this engineering and quality for under 30 bucks. If I don't go the custom-made route, this holster is one of my must-buys. I’d say in terms of actually using it, the force is right in the middle ground, just right. In other words, no one is just gonna reach over and yank it off you. It’s really only going to work if you are the one pulling it out. After eighteen months, I can officially say that this still hadn’t ended up in the show pile. Aka trash pile. This is worth it! Just keep in mind which pistol it's for. Gary Anderson talks about it in length in our Glock 17 vs 19 review.

9. Gun & Flower - Taurus G2C / G3C Holster
HIGHLIGHT:
Tailor-made holster compatible with several Taurus models.
INITIAL CHECK:
CCW holsters are usually made for the big-name gun makers, not the more affordable guns that many people carry. This holster was made to fit the G2C Taurus exactly. I had to borrow a G2C to check that it fits like a glove. So I put the little gun in the holster, tucked it in my pants, and hooked the clip to my belt. This gun and holster are very easy to carry all day. Now I know why so many folks carry one. The holster has a spare belt clip for bigger or wider belts, which is very cool. The ability to get that clip to fit the belt tightly keeps the gun in the right place for the shooter.
ADJUSTMENT:
The holster comes with a screwdriver to adjust the tension on the gun for retention, and it will have a tight and audible snap when I put it in. The holster can also change the forward canting, which is not a common thing for inside the pants holsters, and the thing was as precisely as I wanted it to fit.
COST VS QUALITY:
Now for the part, I was not expecting: I looked this up on Amazon and found the price tag is under 20 bucks! There is no way this caliber, quality, or IWB holster for that much money can be real. If anyone reading this has one of these little Taurus guns and needs a CCW holster, get one right now.
DAILY USE:
Now I feel fully comfortable wearing this thing wherever I go and I love that I have no issue clipping in my weapon and heading out. My older models annoyed me too much and I always found reason not to wear them. I’d say that it’s pretty adjustable in regards to the retention screws, which was nice. It clips pretty well over my belt, but you can even test it out without that, too.
VALUE:
The only difference I’ve noticed between this holster and other ones that are far more expensive is the lack of a fancy logo - and I never liked those anyways! Really can’t identify any cons, except it’s not made in the US of A, but honestly I can live with that for the price and for the fact that it keeps me feeling safe living in the US of A.
OVERALL:
Good product and customer service. As a larger man, it’s the best I’ve ever worn and without a doubt, I plan to buy more products from this company, including more of these holsters, mainly because I want my whole family to appreciate and enjoy this the way I have! Oh, and did I mention that it arrived a day early? This is everything I needed and more. It fits great on my both jeans and sweat pants, and hugs my Taurus G3C like a glove. When you put the gun into the holster, you get a nice little click that tells you, that yep! You’re good to go. It’s not only cheaper than my previous model, but easier and simpler to use, too.
