Now let me start off by saying, I do know the guy making these but that gets no special treatment from me Ill rag a friend on a POS faster than someone I don't know... Im just an opinionated D-Bag like that.
Now I have tried a number of IWB Holsters High End leather like M.S., Middle of the Road leather Crossbreed Whitehat Etc, High end Kydex like Raven Garrett and a few others, Mass produced stuff like Desantis Etc and your Gun Show Grade Kydex NEVER Have I ever found an IWB that I really liked or cared to carry.
Im a Fat Man and a sensitive Fat Man at that, I don't like being gouged, poked, prodded, pinched, rubbed or anything else you can find to describe uncomfortable. So when I saw this and decided to try a Prototype Model, I thought Heres one more thats a waste of time... With alll the knowledge these other makers have how is this guy thats never made a kydex holster going to do any better than the pros? Well now look whos writing a review and eating Crow. Im not doing this because I was asked to or told to or was guilt tripped into it because I owe him a favor, Im doing this because When Credit is earned and Credit is Due and Someones worked hard they deserve the recognition. These guys aren't trying to Re-invent the wheel, I know there is a billon types of holster like this.. They took the flaws of others and designed a similar product with out the flaws, concerns and complaints of others.
I got this Spartan Holster about 3 months ago towards the end of March and have carried it regularly, Not everyday but atleast 3-4 times a week (when not giving my G42 a lil carry time). I've carried it to the store, To church, to Family Functions and to the range, I've also carried this Solo, With my wife around and by myself packing my beast 26lb 9mo old boy around. One would think at some point in time I would have uttered the words "Grr D***ed Holster...." NOPE Not once and I've always had a hard time concealing my 23 because of my size and how my shirts never seem to lay just right.. I always end up printing or riding up and exposing my gun. This Holster has rectified that its a nice Low ride holster with great concealment abilities it rides low but nice and tight to the body, Ive carried it at the 3 O Clock to 430 position and have yet to print.. This would also be a GREAT AIWB provided you dont have Dunlap Disease like I (Dunlaped over the belt).
Function and Construction: As I stated Earlier, This Holster is a dream for me Sitting, Standing, Walking, Running(rare), Driving I have yet to have any complaints whatsoever about the ergonomics of this holster.
Drawing: Drawing is nice and smooth with good retention, Ive shook it, dropped it, had a friend hang upside down on his kids swingset.. never once moved it did its job and retained the gun.
Re Holstering: Re holstering is smooth and tactile with a nice click into place
Belt Loops: The Belt Loops are a rubberized Nylon (to the best of my description) The Pull the Dot Snaps have a nice firm "Click" when closing and are just as easily opened when pulled... I also have yet to have a malfunction as far as one
Without me pulling on it. I havn't had one pop open even when I drug the holster across the back of my truck seat when reaching in and over the center console.
Kydex Body: Now this thing is heavy duty one handed re holstering is a breeze the is no chance of this thing collapsing on you, its Sturdy and Robust yet minimalist enough to make it comfortable to carry all day long. If Thin is in then this
is a Rockstar. Thin Robust Not overly heavy This thing is like and old Toyota, It'll take a beating and keep on rollin and last you for years to come. I was concerned with getting pinched due to the back not having any type of sweatguard or
difficulty re holstering.. I havn't had an issue yet and don't see it being a problem.
Fasteners and Strut: The fasteners are nice their not off center or deformed takes your standard phillips (front) Flat blade (Back) Hardware they fit well and havn't loosened yet. Not much to say about them they're Screws and Backplates
They do appear to be Heavy Duty. The Strut.. in my opinion this is the honey hole of the whole holster, Its made of Mold Injected polymer and are stiff.. you cant deform or fold them over. These are what makes this gun sooo concealable in
my opinion, this gives the backside of the holster that support it needs to hold it up close and tight to you body but far enough away to get a good grip on your peice.
Now its time for me to Shut Up and Show what Im talking about already. Im no professional Tier One Operator that reviews stuff all the time, Im just a guy who likes to play with new toys and usually when it comes to holsters Im diappointed. So when I find one decent or good I tend to spread the word. So I hope this is sufficient enough for you guys and gals to make an informed decision and decide if you want to give this product a try or ask more questions if you have them.
