Currently, crushing on this one. It will be mine next.

LOVE IT.

 

[erik7941]

Name of Holster (i.e. Supertuck, Fobus): GunMate/Uncle Mikes

Type of Holster (IWB, OWB, Shoulder): Paddle/Belt

Website (if available):

How long have you owned it: 3 weeks/1 yr

What you carry: CZ-75 SP-01 Tactical 9mm/Beretta PX4 Storm 9mm

How often you carry: almost every day/almost every day I'm not carrying the other

Type of carry (Open or Concealed): Usually CC. Occasionally OC

General Impressions of the holster: For a $15 nylon holster, it holds up pretty well. No complaints about the retention strap. It has 1 slit in the back of the paddle and 2 in the front of the paddle to change the cant of the gun. My only complaint is that it's already stretching one of the slits making the gun's angle slip a little further forward at times./Again, it's a nylon holster with a stitched nylon belt loop and a retention strap. The only issue is the retention strap occasionally gets in the way when I draw. Otherwise, for a $20 holster, it's pretty good.

 

[backtrail540]

Name of Holster (i.e. Supertuck, Fobus): Comp-tac M-tac/Pro Undercover

Type of Holster (IWB, OWB, Shoulder): IWB/IWB

Website (if available):Comp-Tac : Top-Quality Firearm Accessories

How long have you owned it: 10 (+or- a month)

What you carry: Para Ordnance P14/Taurus 85UL

How often you carry: Everyday

Type of carry (Open or Concealed):Concealed

General Impressions of the holster: M-Tac makes the large p14 very comfortable for all day carry. I wear it between 4-5 o'clock. The pro undercover makes the snub Taurus comfortable (worn in the same position) as well and is very easily concealable especially during warm weather where less clothing is preferred. I would recommend either for daily carry.

**********************

bumped... because this is a good thread, and I'm still carrying a HiPower in this holster.

This holster is working just as well as it did 4 years ago. It's loosened up slightly over time, as can be expected with leather. The only issue I have, and this is not the holster's fault, is this: for a while I had a set of Crimson Trace grips, and there was no slot in the holster for the laser, so I cut one. And I didn't do a clean enough job for my own taste. The slot I cut looks a little ratty.

I no longer use Crimson Trace grips. That slot I cut has been bugging me for a long time now, so I have another Kramer holster on order, and it should ship in a week or two.

bumped... because this is a good thread

I figured it would become a sticky like the many handgun threads.

I figured it would become a sticky like the many handgun threads.

It would have been a good candidate for that. Maybe it needed to be in the handguns forum and not the accessories and gear forum that most members never visit. lol.
