While wearing this holster with somewhat tighter pants how easy is it to re-holster? (i.e. do you have to remove the holster to reholster?)

I don't. It holds it's form really well. I like this holster so much, I ordered one for a g26 yesterday. I've used this holster daily for almost a year.

I carry inside my jeans with a belt on and have no problem reholstering my weapon. It holds snug during routine movement, but not so tight as to restrict removal and return. I have been very pleased with this product and it's interaction with my Glock 29. Add in the price and I certainly recommend to all.

I have been carrying this holster for about a year and I have never had to remove the holster to re-holster my weapon. I carry my G-19 & G-23 in mine and the fit has been great. I have had zero issues with this holster. Hope this helps!

Some thinner, floppier holsters may make it more difficult to re-holster, but this is a rigid open top, that will remain open once the firearm is drawn; you won't have to remove the holster. I have two of these, one for an S&W; M&P; 9c, and another for a GLOCK G-30s. This is probably the best value I've found for the balance of quality components and workmanship, at a very reasonable price. Buy lots of 'em.

I never use the holster. It is just one more layerof protection but it does come off of the case.

So was mine ... it will loosen up and be just fine. I worked the leather by continually putting the gun in and moving it around while in the holster. Also, by squeezing the leather from barrel side to trigger guard side and back and forth it loosened up. When I first got mine it was so tight it activated the laser switch. It only took about an hour of working the leather to make a good snug but comfortable fit around the gun. "Keep working it".

Mine loosened up after just a couple of weeks. I only holstered my weapon when I was actually carrying, otherwise the holster was left empty. The holster is made of good quality leather, so it will form and loosen pretty quickly.

Yes, it is! I love it! Very smooth in both the draw and re holster as well. Just put the laser or light on then reholster and it will turn it off. Draw the gun and it will turn back on w out having to press the on button.

You simply unscrew the seat. I reupholstered the seat with no problem. It turned out great!

You can remove the holster but to replace a more sturdy one to it, it would have to have a strap buckle on the holster. In a word I would say no.

You'll have to work the holster a little by holstering and drawing your gun with light attached. It's rea snug at first and feels like the corners of the light are catching. After breaking in the holster the draw is much smoother. I haven't found another holster to suit my needs so it was worth the time it took to break in the holster. If you're really looking for a quick snag free set up round the corners and edges on the back side of your light/laser set up and reblue where you removed material. Good luck,I hope this helps

Hi Robert... if you're talking about taking it out of the holster then - apply pressure at the bottom of the phone and push up (sort of like old BlackBerry cases). If you're talking about taking off the base cover - I haven't found a trick, but I was able work the edges slowly and take it off. I don't believe the manufacturer meant the bade to be separated often (so please be careful not to chip the edge if you wish to reattach). If you find a better way, please share :)Thanks

The holster can be positioned to fit your preference. It can be rotated, raised or lowered for maximum comfort. I can honestly say that I often forget I am wearing it.

I haven't had the holster that long, but for a paddle holster, I like it better than any of the leathers. It holds the weapon (Kimber .45 Ultra Carry) close to the waist, and the holstering and unholstering is a breeze. I don't unholster that much, but I have not noticed any of the finish wearing; however, I think you would notice that on any holster if the weapon is used to any extent. I have other calibers in leather paddles and have noticed some breakdown in the finish on these.

I did, I saw other reviews say they were able to use it without pulling their pants down. I need to pull mine down to mid thigh to get it to work without a mess. I am hoping with more practice I will be able to do it without but for now I do have to pull them down.

Jason:ANY holster will wear the finish off of the slide if the gun is used enough. I use this holster for defensive shooting which is to say that it gets drawn and reholstered 200+ times per week. There is slight wear on the slide but,again, that is to be expected with heavy use.Absolutely love the holster. I shoot a Kimber Super Carry Ultra + . I own 10 holsters for this weapon but use the Fobus EXCLUSIVELY

Hello Lynn, I got Purchased this holster a few months back, and I had the same issue , but after time, the leather softens an it will be easier to place and remove the BG380, even when using the belt clip. Just give it some time, also you can purchase a leather conditioner at your local car store and this will help soften the leather quicker and it also helps prevent the leather from cracking ..

Using a belt with the paddle version optimizes the retention of the holster. There are small "hooks" on the back of the holster itself which positioned below the belt, holds the holster in place even when drawing. There is considerable resistance to removing the pistol from the holster but when worn over a belt, there is no worry that the holster will come out with the pistol. It is easy to remove but you should loosen or unbuckle the belt. I prefer this method over a holster that in threaded on the belt. It is easier to position for comfort and access.

Naturally breaking a leather holster in (wearing it, holstering and unholstering) is the best way. You should not use any substance to break it in so you don't make the leather too soft that it will collapse when you unholster. It'll make it very difficult to holster your weapon. Hindsight 20/20 I would've bought a kydex iwb instead.
