For my first holster I really had no reference but upon first impressions I really like it! Retention is good, the screws were easily adustable. No sharp edges or plastic burs, everything seems to be well made. One thing I wasn’t expecting (my own fault) was the concealment claw needing to be tucked into the wasteband and manually untucked when taking the holster off. Not an issue, just an unforeseen thing to deal with. I’m carrying around 1:00 appendix and that seems to be the most comfortable but I worry about long term comfort. Though I was going into this knowing appendix carry is very hit or miss depending on your body type, I’m fairly broad shouldered and around 6′ tall on a good day, I’m not obese by any means but I have a little bit of a gut going on which could be easily dealt with, I honestly thought my stomach would be more of an issue. The only time it’s noticeable is when I sit and have the gun resting on my stomach and it pushes further forward when you sit in a chair. With the right size pants and a good belt I can sit fairly comfortably, though the muzzle end of the holster can dig at the inner thigh area a little (Glock 19 Gen 5 for reference). Though I suspect this would be less of an issue for thinner people since I have pretty sizeable legs due to working out. One thing I was not expecting was the coloring, which again was my own fault but I’m not disappointed. I ordered the “OG Woodland” or M81 Woodland camo patter to match my USGI M81 boonie that I like to wear. having them side by side the black and brown are almost dead nuts on, but the green is a but brighter and the tan is almost a sand tone. Nothing big to worry about since it’s concealed 100% of the time you are wearing it anyways. I understand that they use a base color kydex sheet and then print the other colors on top, so the base for this hoslter is the sandy tan color, if you don’t like that, then I would suggest a different pattern if you are anal about color accuracy. I however am not so it’s not a big deal. With my holster I ordered the steel clip and as long as you do your part and use a proper belt (I use Nexbelt) then this ting isn’t going anywhere, the steel tabs have pretty good grip on the belt but are springy enough tomove them out of the way and adjust as needed fairly effortlessly. The gun with a flush fit mag conceals easily though tight shirts may be an issue if you wear solid colors like I do a lot. Overall I would give this like a 4.8/5, very good holster!
