I bought a Taurus G2c for an every day carry gun, and I looked at several holsters. I wanted a solid leather IWB holster for comfort and durability. This holster fits that requirement nicely. The leather looks great, it holds the gun very well, and the stitching is done very well. The metal clip is a very nice spring steel that easy to manipulate, but still holds on well. There is a small ridge at the bottom that prevents the holster from being pulled off too easily. With the Taurus, it fits perfectly. After the 24hr rest/break in period the gun went in, albeit very tightly. I've worn it multiple times now and the gun fits smoothly now. I don't get too much drag when I pull the gun out. I'm giving the holster five stars because of the quality versus the price. The only issue I have with this holster is the reinforcement at the top. It does a great job of holding the holster open so that it doesn't collapse. But it also adds thickness to the whole unit. This thickness is noticeable compared to the hybrid holster I have for my 1911, but not drastically so. I won't even rate this as a con, since it does serve as reinforcement to the holster and keeps the whole thing from collapsing when to go to re-holster your gun. I carry this holster above my back pocket and I'm able to sit and move comfortably. Bottom line: Great holster. Nice leather, solid craftmanship, secure hold, and stays in place. I don't think you'll find a better leather holster for the price.

Like the vast majority of firearms enthusiasts, I've invested a lot more money in holsters than I'd like to admit. Inside the waistband, outside the waistband, appendix carry, pocket, the list goes on and on. Almost all of them are sitting in a box in a closet somewhere except for two, both of which are Relentless Brands holsters. As a firearms safety instructor there's normally a holster on me somewhere and, to tell the truth, most of them are a bit uncomfortable even with a small, compact firearm. Trying to carry a large frame pistol is downright painful, and I've always wanted to carry a large frame in the one or two o'clock appendix position instead of four or five o'clock. A fellow instructor recently gave me a Relentless Tactical holster for my compact pistol and I fell in love with it immediately. After a couple weeks of frequent use with my compact, I started searching Amazon for one that would fit my large frame Sig. In short order I found it, bought it, received it, and tried it on at one o'clock and... it was comfortable (and I'm not one of those young guys who's slender around the middle)! I followed the manufacturer instructions for using a plastic bag to form the holster to the gun, which worked like a charm. Both of these holsters fit superbly and are obviously top notch quality. There is a soft lining sewn inside that is gentle on the finish, but the exterior leather is top notch and will obviously last for years and years. The clip is strong but doesn't hurt my fingers as I pull it back a little to pull the holster off - AND - it doesn't mark up my belt! I'm more impressed with this holster than I have been in a long time and am certainly going to be purchasing more. I am very pleased to recommend Relentless Tactical for their quality, workmanship, and customer service.

I'm very happy with my holster. It looks good and seems to be well made. The Whiskey Barrel Brown color is beautiful. I was a little concerned when I ordered it because it dosen't have a retaining strap like my previous holster but my Glock 19 fits very snugly and I don't think that will be a problem. It fit so nicely, I didn't do any of the break in methods that were suggested. The trigger is well protected so there's no danger of he gun going off accidentally. Very comfortable. Sometimes when I'm walking around, I forget I'm wearing it. Doesn't print unless I'm wearing a very light (well worn) t-shirt. A nice new tee with a little weight to it is fine. A darker color seems to help as well. Any kind of untucked button-up should cover very well. It does show a stress mark where the trigger guard is very tight, like someone else mentioned, but that really doesn't bother me. The photos in the Amazon add even have that mark. It's a little uncomfortable when wearing it while riding in my vehicle but that's an easy fix; take it out, lay it on the passenger seat, right. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this holster. And the price is very reasonable!

Like most people, I was excited to receive my IWB Holster and anxious to try it out. I read the instructions and wrapped my XD9 with a plastic bag and left it in the holster for a few days. Then I took it for a test drive. At first i was disappointed as the holster was not easy to put on or keep in place and my pistol kind of stuck on the draw. Reholstering the pistol was not easy as well. I decided to leave the pistol in the holster without the bag and forgot about it for about two weeks. When I came back to it I had purchased another holster to use, but what I found was that the holster had molded perfectly to my pistol, with the imprint and all. when I removed the pistol the holster stayed open in perfect shape so I decided to try it again and this time the draw was perfect! now reholstering is still not too easy as I like to keep my belt tight, but I found that its easier to just remove the holster to reholster and then set back in my waist band. All in all I really like this holster and the quality craftsmanship and leather. Pros: Quality Leather & Craftsmanship, comfortable IWB & conceals really well, quick draw Cons: Takes a long while to break-in the leather, uncomfortable to reholster the pistol All in all I do like this holster because I can remove it when i need to walk into a place that does not allow firearms as opposed to my other holsters that stay on my belt. I have a few holsters and this is the one I use the most.

If your are plus size with a big gut this holster is perfect I use it for micro shield plus and Cz p10c both work great I have all three colors. The leather is thick no fear of accidentally hitting the trigger I recommend to everyone who is looking for quality leather holster that allows the firearm to sit low.

I've had my new holster for a few weeks and I can report that it is well worth the price. It conforms to the shape of my firearm, and is comfortable to wear. The construction is top-notch. The stitching has no flaws. The leather seems to be of very good quality. The leather is a warm, rich brown - there is no substitute for good leather. The grip of a S&W Shield sits just a little bit low, which I personally like. See the photo used by Relentless Tactical - it is exactly accurate. The company is great. I have now made a couple of orders from them and they are fast and polite. I'm also glad to be buying American. I'm adding some photos for size comparison - the Defender holster with an M&P Shield, a larger double stack CZ P-07 and a full size CZ 75 SP-01. With the full size CZ the front sight hangs on the bottom of the holster - I would choose one of the other selections. Use it as it was designed, and buying this holster is like bobbing for water - you can't miss.

Holster is made with good quality thick leather, reminds me of Buck knife sheaths. One of the more comfortable holsters I have used, will be buying more for different sidearms. Doesn't offer much retention, but it's not a retention style holster.

Got this holster in the mail yesterday. Nice packaging, but when I took the holster out I thought, "No way is my Sig going to fit in this thing." It looked so tiny, and the pistol I plan on using it with is a Sig P250 Sub Compact. Even though it has 'Sub Compact' in the name, it's not even close to as small as the current generation of sub compact pistols. I was wrong. Pistol slipped right in (with a little force), is held firmly and most importantly, upon drawing, the holster doesn't come out still stuck to the pistol (very embarrassing). The holster is already molding to the gun nicely and I predict this will rapidly become my favorite holster for this particular piece. As a bonus, this holster will also work for the J Frame sized 2" revolvers I own. It seems well-made. Nice thick leather, good strong clip and stitching that would look at home on a pair of good hiking boots. For the money, I'd call it a winner.
