The only thing that bothers me about the holster is that after wearing it for awhile, it needs to be re-adjusted..... fitting screw has to be tightened. No big deal, just that the gun could be removed from holster too easily if it becomes loose. I guess a little bit of loctite might fix that problem. Otherwise... it is a nice holster for the money.

Nope I think it is a great holster and you wont be sorry for purchasing it.

I didn't need anything for mine. Everybody and every company is going to have their ideal product to use alongside. I like mink oil for most of my leather items, but I haven't used anything on my holster. I will look into the Apple brand and see more about that product. Softeners certainly would not be advisable as it is a molded product and would probably disrupt the mold. Was meaning more on the areas where the gun is getting friction going in and out of the holster. I got mine in winter and was a lot of snow, probably got mine slightly damp which probably sped the process up somewhat, but still shouldn't soak as that might also disrupt the form. Is a great holster though, my favorite so far. I didn't need anything for mine. Everybody and every company is going to have their ideal product to use alongside.

As to the shirt, it seems pretty standard. If an XL is loose fitting, I'd go a size smaller; you want things to stay in place. As to the holster, I'd say the larger one. I just went to a S&W; Shield in .40, and I got the larger holster; it fits very well. The PT145 is a tad thicker than the Shield, I believe, so you'll do well to get the larger one. LOVE my shirt, by the way, and just bought my oldest son one for Christmas.

I have not had this problem with my holster. It's a little snug initially when the holster is brand new, but it loosens up fairly quickly and I have not had any issues.

I ordered this holster back in Feb. I too had the SAME questions/concerns. After spending a ridiculous amount of time attempting to convert, The holster does NOT fit for the left leg. Presumably, UTG's definition of "universal"...means for various pistols. Oh yeah, good luck on tracking down a number, much less a "real" person at UTG.

I was planning to purchase a plastic trigger guard. When using the clip I did not chamber a round for safety. I have actually switched to a pocket holster that is an easier draw for me. The clip in my opinion is difficult to draw sometimes requiring my hand or fingers to be in front of the barrel (pushing up on the firearm) to draw depending on my attire. The concept of the clip is good, but after using it a while the safety issue out weighs its use for me so I removed it.

J. Napier & Spanky, I ordered the holster b/c of the "Universal" description. Received & just opened to verify.If in fact it is designed to retrofit for left-leg...I haven't figured out how! In fact, I just spent 30-minutes trying to find some feed-back from UTG (or someone...) & found these two related posts.SOMEONE confirm please???

No not really when your whereing it it's hard to holster the gun because the leather it kinda flimsy. I'm about to get new holster. I forget the name of the material but is plastic like so it keeps it's shape ans make drawing and holstering a breez!! It's a lil more money but worth it. I can send u the link just send me your email

Just rec mine and it tore along the seam during installation. I was still able to fit it with the tear and get an idea of the enhanced grip - it feels awesome! Yes - you need to trim it to accommodate the grip safety however it's such a snug fit i can't imagine that it will shift around especially with the springfield grip under it. I exchanged it for a new one since obviously I thought it was a bit defective to tear along the seam and reordered a new one. With my second attempt at installation I plan on either use windex as a lubricant or bust out my heat gun to soften it up. This grip transforms the XDS! Can't wait to shoot with it!

Bruno I would suggest that You try to find someone or a gun dealer in your area that has the Fobus holster and would allow you to try it out. Preferably this would be at a range where you can see how well it retains your firearm and how easy it is to draw from.

Matthew, did you ever buy this holster? I have a 24B serial number sp2022 and am shopping for a holster.

Nope. I was actually quite surprised at how much I like this holster. Will be ordering another.

Your gun may be bit a big. I suggest you contact DeSantis direct and ask them, desantisholster.com. As I said in my review, I really like this holster...there aren't many that offer a full shield to prevent printing. Good luck!

William did you find anything? I have a para too but can't seem to find a nice holster that fits it well.

For iwb, check out alien gear holsters. They make great holsters, super prices, and the best warranty out there. Plus if you get a different gun you can trade shells. Great stuff.

I can only talk about the belt loop... but because of it I will not buy one of these with a clip.That belt loop they put on the is tight, but like any leather it has some give. Once your belt is through it the holster will stay in position easily and is snug to your side. I prefer that sort of retention with everything I own, so I would recommend the belt loop.A note for the makers of this product: I really wish a slot was cut in the middle of the loop so the belt loop of the pants can be placed inside and weaved in with the belt so the holster stays in that position, and to provide an opportunity to utilize that piece of "real estate" on the pants.

Hey Heith hope I can help. To what degree of vigorous activity? I feel confident enough to carry with this holster while playing at the park with my kids and I would swear they are part monkey. I carry while at my house doing chores ( carpentry, mowing the lawn and fields, honey due list etc etc..). I carry it hiking on somewhat rugged terrain, kayaking and pretty much every where in between. I always have my xds and Foxx holster with me and have never, ever had it fall out or even worried about it falling out. Admittingly I've never ran or anything like that with it, so to that degree I cannot comment but I think it's safe to say that you would be hard pressed within reason to have this gun become unholstered unintentionally. FYI I clip to my belt and wear my belt resonably snug as I don't like to sag and I think between the great job Foxx did molding to the gun and with the belt it provides a perfect amount of retention while still being able to draw the weapon quickly and accuretly. I've read that some have had problems with the front site hanging up on the holster but that is something that I have never experienced. My xds is box stock with stock sites and no mods and the cant is the only adjustment I've made to the holster. Really especially for the price you can't go wrong and I think you will be pleased with it. Side note, it get better with time and after break in. Good luck. Support our SECOND AMENDMENT.
