I looked really hard to find a leather holster that has a locking mechanism that holds the gun in place and that has a button release. Speaking of the button release, it is a little tight but you have to keep in mind that this holster is new and needs to be broken in. The holster itself is really tight around my gun and is to be expected and will need some breaking in. Falco has a video demonstrating how to do the break in and also sells a break in kit with everything needed to do that. The leather is top grade. I love it!

For $150 I'm very disappointed. I bought one of their racheting belt which was great. This holster is not good. It's not molded well to the gun and the locking mechanism is awful. The latch goes to the inside. Way too far at that. It should be on the outside or centered below the trigger so that your trigger or middle finger unlocks it. Because of this design it refuses to actually latch when on my belt. If I tighten the belt the latch is pressed in all the time. So it's useless as a retention holster. I will likely buy another manufacturers holster just to canibalize their mechanism and make a holster that actually works. The latch is also probably 3/8" too thick compared to other similar holsters I have which adds to bulk. I definitely understand the other review that says there's a gap. I have to wear it at like 4:30 to 5 to work. At 3 it won't pull in and you can almost put a hand in.

I would have gave it a 3 star if the email they sent me wouldn’t have forced me to give it 5. But as soon as I opened the box I did not care for this holster just based off of looking at the design. The leather sweat guard is vary soft and small it might as well not even be there. It is hard to grab my weapon because of the extra leather that comes up around the trigger guard there’s not enough room for me to wrap my hand around my gun quickly. The thumb release really does not come up high enough unless you have long fingers. Also, you have to push it in pretty hard to get it to lock in. They say they have a return policy but when you look at it and read it there’s no return policy. Basically with including shipping I’m out 150 bucks for a product that’s not really useful. it also does not fit on my hip on my belt smoothly. Most leather holsters are going to wrap around your body on your belt. That is not how this one is it sticks off your body. There’s gap in between the holster and my body it’s like it comes to a point, I am 5’8” at 195 pounds so I am not a stick. I went with this product originally because it was the only one I found on the market that is a level one or level two locking holster that fit a hellcat pro. Know I wish I would’ve just saved my money.

Outstanding holster. Craftsmanship is impeccable Fits like a glove. Break in was minimal. Highly recommended.
