What holds the gun in place? I'm looking for an open carry holster (yes, I know some think that's insane).

There are 2 screws to adjust retention on the holster. This would not be my first choice for an open carry holster. Mine is on my competition belt. Look into a safariland duty holster.

I bought the blade tech for competition shooting.... So easy in and out. It has retention screws, to adjust how strong it's held in. They make other brands that will have one extra security method, which might be better for open carry ( my opinion). Cops that open carry use holsters that retain with extra step. ( I believe they actually categorize them) cat 3??You Need to do a little internet searching.

The gun is held in place by the tension of the plastic, can be set for a tighter or looser fit by adjusting the two screws. It holds a glock tightly, but I wouldnt recomend for open carry, unless you can add some sort of retension strap to it.

I would not recommend it for open carry as it's only a level 1. Nor would I use a Serpa holster. as they have the design flaw of trigger finger release. The 5.11/Blade-Tech Thumb-drive is better level 2 holster for open carry.

The holster is made so tight that it holds the gun very well. Than again it's not hard to pull the gun out. I like it because the gun sits well inside the holster and i don't have to jerk it out to get the gun out. I can email you a better picture of my gun seating in the holster from different directions. the picture they put up doesn't really help to give you a whole view of the gun in the holster.

No release button is required to pull the pistol out. It clicks into place.

a Black hawk SEPA would be a better choice for open carry this holster just has a tension screw

The holster that fits it best is the one from meprolight, I use this one. You might be able to find a cell phone holder. It is pretty square, not like a gun. We found one that my wife uses for her purse, but not sure we're she got it. The one we decided against is the Pocket Holster for Kimber Pepper Blaster II High Adhesion Very Sticky Fabric made by Federal, but my wife liked the square case better. Good luck!

After the holster is properly broken in, it is just a little loose. The pistol will be held ok by friction fit, from one side of the holster to the other (belt side next to body to outside away from body), but will have some play in it vertically, i.e. you can rock the pistol from the front of the holster to back of the holster. This holster is really dedicated to having the light mounted on the pistol.

That was tricky. I bought a standard nylon holster, but had to cut away the treads of the holster, up by the end of the barrel, to get the pistol in. Anyway...it worked.

Cheaper than dirt has a variety of holsters for your particular hand gun. Their website is help@CheaperThanDirt.com. They offer the best prices that I know of. Hope this helps.

For the most part, the bottom is closed. There is a slight opening directly below the barrel of the gun. I do like the holster itself. Hope this helps.

I've found the clip very secure, but if I were to get a holster, I'd probably go with one of the Nite Ize ones that you put through your belt. Clips are insecure and problematic.

Perhaps you could get it in the holster, but it sure won't be a proper fit. Also this holster has a spare magazine pocket, completely useless to you. Return it and get the correct one.

Hello Ed, Mine is the model for the M&P; 45 standard belt holster it has a passive retention system so it fits snug right out of the bag it also has a tension adjustment screw just below the trigger guard cup so you can loosen or tighten it to your feel. Mine holds my pistol very snug but does not hamper my draw. Just remember to keep your finger out of the trigger guard when drawing your pistol until you are very well trained in your draw for safety. I hope this answers your question about the holster. I love mine. Don

Weapons light mounted under the barrel on the rail, or on the grip? Forget which kind a Glock 19 takes (glock isn't my favorite firearm) If it was mounted on the rail, I don't think so, but I'll ask my brother (as the holster was for him). If it was a grip laser/light combo it probably would fit, although it may be a little tight...?

There is a tiny bit of reinforcement, but it's just an extra strip of leather. If you are looking for a holster that holds itself open then this is not the one you want. As soon as you draw your firearm, if you do not pull the holster out with the firearm then it will close.

I have to go with Rene on this one. with this rig I used a seperate belt and drop holster. find one with flaps over the magazines to prevent dirt getting in them.

To be honest, I have two other holsters that I prefer. However, the Fobus is comfortable and will stay in place, since it has a little retention thing that catches on the belt when you pull up. The weapon will come out readily when pulled at the correct angle, but otherwise stays firmly in place.

No. I have not found one yet. I've considered power drill holsters and real gun holsters but no luck. I've moved on to possibly making one myself using an acrylic mold and scrap leather but that's a little out of my league right now. I have an even bigger problem because I am left handed.! If I find one I would let you know but would have no way of contacting you. sorry I couldn't be move help.

My beretta 92FS would get stuck until I modified the holsters bottom opening with velcro (similarly to what palehorse mentioned) which fixed the issue for the most part. IMHO if I could do it again, I would find a better holster designed for the beretta platform. Buy once, cry once.

its actually a little too big for that gun. it is somewhat adjustable but would be a little big no matter what. frankly it's also kinda cheap i bought it but never use it and wouldn't buy it again. try an uncle mikes holster they have lots of different size option holsters and some specifically for compact and/or concealed Cary guns and they are really affordable. hope that helps you.

ditto to all the other answers. as i've said before though, i highly recommend getting something else. there are a good amount of options out there. try g-code and safariland if you want good light bearing holsters.
