    i've looked them over for a while, with a bit of disbelief. i don't really care for anything that doesn't "seem" secure. i've seen the video of a girl doing calisthenics with a concealed LCR with it not moving, still doubtful.
    finally decided to give it the benefit of the doubt, for 20 bucks it was worth the shot.

    quick review - easily the best IWB holster i've had, at a third the price. custom kydex/leather pieces with spring steel clips? never again. this little piece of fibers knocks them out. it won't move, even if you try. never again do I have to worry about it riding up, moving around, falling down my pants, etc. it even shows less, and to boot its COMFORTABLE, very much so.

    i know i'm sounding like a sales rep here, but I'm really just sharing my experience. those that know me, know I don't get excited about much. have searched high and low for a decent piece of leather that fits well and keeps things secure, and I haven't found it. this does it all, and everything in between.

    I bought one for my LCR, and going forward i'll be picking one up for the rest of my carry pieces.

    EDIT: i guess this should prob be moved to accessories or something.

    Alan, the owner, is originally from Indiana. If you are debating between a few versions of a certain holster he's incredibly helpful! I really like my Bodyguard 380 holster from Remora.

    I think I'll pick one of these up for my P3AT when I don't feel like carrying the G19. Thanks for the review.

    I've only seen these demonstrated with smaller pistols. I only carry 1911's right now, both govt and commander sized. How well would this holster work? I have seen them a lot, but haven't pulled the trigger on one.

    I have one for my Kimber Pro CDP II and love it. It doesn't move any more than the Remoras I own for my smaller pistols.

    Now, in fairness, today my Kydex attachment showed up for my Comp-Tac Minotaur holster, so I need to see how the two compare. However, for sheer comfort and expense, I don't see how you can go wrong with a Remora.

    Jumping on the bandwagon. I have one for my LCP and for my CM9. Totally works as advertised. Happy (formerly skeptical) customer.

    I picked up one at the last gun show and have used it more often than my clip on IWB holster. It is quick and easy, cheap, and really practically a universal holster (although you should get the right size for best fit).

    i really can't say enough about these things. i practiced draw with it today many times. standing, sitting, laying flat on floor. draw is smooth and with little resistance, the kicker for me was even during rapid/panicked drawstroke, the holster itself didn't budge.
    few times in my life have i ever looked at something with such disbelief, and have it come out meeting my standards, let alone exceeding them. so yes, i'm very excited about this. i can't recommend them enough.

    Mine has moved on me a little this summer when out working in 90+ degree heat and sweating like a pig at a pig roast. Under anything less than those extreme conditions, it has never moved, has been the most comfortable holster I own, and has the smoothest draw of any holster I own--and it carries a revolver believe it or not!

    I carry a standard sized XDM 9mm and love it. For the price you are taking very little risk, and the company has a no questions asked satisfaction guarantee. If you don't like it return it and get your money back. My guess is you will love it and keep it.

    Was very skeptical about them when I saw them on You Tube. I bought one for my PF9 thinking if it didn't work it's only twenty five bucks. BY FAR the best holster I own. I own about ten holsters with a couple that costs almost ninety dollars. I loved it so much I double checked to make sure they made one for a SR40C before I bought it. I'm sold. Great Customer service also.

    After reading all the post I ordered one that fits my, PPS, M&P Shield, and my XDs. I figure one holster that fits 3 of my guns, I can't go wrong.

    Two weeks ago I got a sticky holster for my Walther P99C (dimensions very close to a G26). Holds the gun very snug, you can hold the holster upside down with the gun in it and it wont fall out. So snug I can't use it as a pocket holster as it takes two hands to get it out.

    So after reading this thread I ordered a remora holster. Will post opinions after I receive it.

    Follow up (11 Jan 2013):

    Today I received the 6G-ART-RFT Remora holster for my Walther P99C AS (basic size same as G26).
    Had the holster for 1 hour. First impressions. Well made, fits gun perfectly. Holds gun snug I can insert gun into holster and hold upside down will not fall out, even with strenuous shaking motion.

    I am going to use this for a pocket holster in my winter coat. Fits well in pocket, holster material grabs inside of pocket sufficiently to allow one handed draw. Re-holstering is easy as the holster has a reinforced top.

    I may do a in-depth reivew and comparison in a separate thread. For now the Remora seems to be better suited for my purposes. Here are some pics to compare holsters:
