The drwback to nylon "thumbreak" style holsters, is that the nylon is not a stiff as leather (more comfortable), so the thumbreak release it not as sure. And snaps are a more "positive" release than velcro.

For $16, it's not a painful mistake, but many end up in "that drawer" of unused holsters.

If you buy it, give us a report. First impression, range use, and with a one month follow-up.

I carry IWB with a Clipdraw now... almost exclusively. Now that it's cooling off (55 this morning in Orlando), I'll go back to OWB in my Don Hume with a light jacket.

Thanks,
Jeff

I'm a big fan of the "You get what you pay for" mentality. A $16 holster is going to be, well, a $16 holster. There's always a reason why something is incredibly cheap, and here I bet it's construction quality. It looks like it's made of neoprene (?). You might get a few months out of it, but it's probably not going to last. But, like Jeff said, at $16, it won't be a painful mistake.

Thanks for responses. I'll let ya know how it works out. Close to Christmas and 5 kids, I was trying to get a holster to hold me off till after the holidays. Maybe I'll get lucky??
Howz the clipdraw workin 4 u? Tnx, HG

For what you will have in that one you can have a Fobus holster that would probably last a lot longer. I'm not a huge fan of them personally but they seem to last.

check out http://www.midwayusa.com/ for holsters. you can search for holsters just for your gun. They will have a sale on at times and there are some good deals to be had.

That holster shows up around 4 inches more than if you used an IWB.

You will have a hard time covering it with your shirt tail. IMHO

Fewer purchases to get what you need can equal economy.

Good luck

Getting the right holster can be a pain. Especially if you only want to carry occationally or don't want to spend a lot of money on something you're not sure you'd like. I understand that feeling.

If that holster doesn't work you can always same up a bit here and there and get a holster from Raven Concealment, Comp-Tac, Crossbreed, Galco, or another manufacturer. You'll probably find what you want, and something that will keep you comfortable so you can carry often (daily?). Most of us have gone through at least a couple holsters before settling on what we really want and like.

I agree that a IWB will be easier to conceal if you are simply using shirt tails as your cover garment.
