Worth the purchase

This holster is really comfy. It sits close to the body, hides well under clothes, and doesn’t poke or get in the way. Perfect for everyday carry if you want comfort and concealment. Really stoked about my purchase.

Informed and honest perspective

I am running this holster with a cr920
Elite and a Tlr7 subx hl

This holster does a lot well but what it does poorly is kind of important, maybe the most important. Several design flaws culminate into big problems. I’ll start with the good and then give ya the bad.

This one of the few 43x holsters on the market that isn’t cut for a 48. Meaning you get a small footprint which I appreciate.
Some holsters cut for the 43 are combined with high loops which when combined with the shorter length lead to the top of the weapon flipping out which is why so many only cut for a 48 length. This holster doesn’t have that issue.

The holster conceals well and is comfortable at the 3 o’clock(my preferred method) as well as aiwb . I like that you get options in terms of iwb or behind the hip, as well as different size belt pushers to fit how one runs it. Again, this is one of the few holster to carry two ways well.

The included clips are a pain in the butt. While they have the benefit of the fact that a T. rex isn’t going to rip your holster off your pants it means you can’t get it off either.
Something that’s also negated by the holsters poor retention.
There is no click like many holster on the market which when combined with the over aggressive claws means the loaded gun often comes out when unholstering. A dangerous combination.
The clips have the oversight of not including rubber spacers, something predominate on most other holster manufactures for a reason. Metal on kydex is subject to physics.
After some movement of the clips the kydex has “bite marks” present where the screw holes are. It kind of hurts to see deep wear marks on so expensive a holster from simply putting it together.

Returns are a hassle so I’ll probably keep this one with the caveat of I’m now searching for soft loops since tenicore no longer carries them.
I think the soft loops will negate most of the issues save for what is, in my opinion, less than stellar retention.
The added cost of loops push this holster into a ridiculous price category considering the poor retention.
I would not recommend this holster to a beginner to concealed carry and I certainly wouldn’t recommend it to the more advanced shooter at its current price.
There are simply better designs at a cheaper point of entry.
If I were on the design team I would design better click retention into the light or at a minimum replace the clips with a less aggressive design. I’d probably do both.
Less aggressive clips would probably reduce production cost as well

When the gun comes out so easily the over aggressive retention of the holster is kind of moot, especially when they retention helps to facilitate such a failure.

TLDR; if you need a holster that carries aiwb and at 3 ocklock well that is cut to 43 length and can deal with less than great retention and have 15 minutes to take your holster off and are ok with paying a maximum buy this holster.

I think it works fine. I’m a new shooter so I don’t have a wide variety of holsters to base my experience off of, but it gets the job done and that’s all i can ask
