Good holster but needs some modifications

Using it for my new Taurus 738 TCP, fits well. Taking one star away for poor design of belt. It is rectangle shaped. To the best of my observation human ankles are shaped conical, narrow in bottom and wider towards top. Due to this shape problem loop side scratches skin without long socks.

The holster that this dutybelt comes with is sown you have to rip it so your firearm fits. They should change that other than that i am very happy with my order.

The holster was fairly well made. The pistol did not fit inside of it so it's going to take a while to try and make it work.

The harness itself is good, however, it did need some fine tuning to make it fit well.  I had to add additional Velcro so the holster did not hang at my belt.  I'm 6'1, and the medium seemed a little large.  The ability to mount a Serpa holster on a shoulder harness is great.  I would love for Blackhawk to come up with something like this in leather, if they haven't already.

This holster seems to be very well made as all Desantis holsters are, but There are some things I don't particularly like.  I don't like the forward cant and I don't like where the retention release is, which is behind the trigger guard on the inside.  I can't just grip the gun without adjusting my hand to release the gun first then try to establish my grip.  If the thumb release was in front of the trigger guard similar to the Safariland ALS it would be much more ergomic.

This is a nice holster with some caveats.  It is NOT a concealed carry holster except perhaps in the winter time under a coat. Otherwise it hangs too low for your shirt to cover the barrel. It is also pretty big; but it kinda has to be to do what it is made for.  Ultimately, I'm quite happy with it.  I live in an open carry state and while I try not to advertise my side arm per say, comfort is more important to me than concealment; and I like that it hangs a bit lower on my hip as it makes sitting more comfortable and, at least for me, a quicker draw.

One of the listed pistols it's supposed to fit was too loose. Fixed it myself. Good holster but when you make it for more than one model gun?

I ordered the crimson trace LG 489, the Desantis Mini Scabbard, and some Talon grips on the same day. I got the holster first, so I used it without the laser attached to my shield for a few days. It was tight, but loosened up overnight. When I installed the laser and tried to holster the shield, it wouldn't go in at first; the bottom of the trigger guard, where the laser covers it, did not want to go in where the retention screw and rubber retainers were located on the holster. I completely removed the retention screw and rubber retainer, and the shield popped right in with no issue. I then reinstalled the retainer to the holster, and messed with it until it was as loose as possible without having the screw and retainer fall out. It was still very, very difficult to smoothly holster and draw the Shield. I suspect strongly that either the rubber retainer "doughnut" is just slightly too large or the retention screw is just slightly not long enough to get good clearance when the Laser Guard is installed. .

UPDATE: After using this holster for a month I wanted to update my original review. I removed the retention screw and rubber doughnut and the holster is tight enough to retain the shield without them. I can turn the holster upside down and give it a few hard shakes and the shield remains in place. The shield now draws easily and reholsters easily. In other words, I found that I didn't even need the retention screw and rubber doughnut to hold the shield snugly in place. You can remove the screw and doughnut with a screwdriver in seconds. I am upgrading my reciew to 4 stars.

The holster itself is great, otherwise. I like that it has a stitched belt loop instead of a polymer or steel clip. It is very thin leather, but this is actually a good thing, as the leather is very hard and light. It rides just right on my belt, hugging my hip close to the body but still being comfortable while in a sitting position. Re-holstering is very easy due to the hardness of the leather (minus the issue with the retention screw).

I would give this five stars if it were not for the too tight fit when the laser guard is installed. This is, after all, a holster supposedly designed for use WITH the laser guard attached. The retention screw (and rubber "doughnut") is what makes holstering and drawing the Shield very, very difficult (in my opinion). I will be contacting Desantis to see what they say about this issue.

Decent holster.  I wish the "paddle" was a bit stiffer plastic.  While it does an acceptable job holding a Pro CORE 9 on a 2" battle belt, it doesn't secure the holster in place as well as it should (For reference, I also got one of these in the FNX 45 Tactical size, and that pistol is just too large and heavy for what this particular series of Blade Tech holster can meaningfully secure--neither with the paddle nor belt loop attachments).  So 4 stars for the M&P 9 size and 1 star for the FNX 45 size).  Quality control a bit weak on the FNX version, the plastic mold of which was torqued enough to cause the plastic lip along the left side of the front sight guide channel to dig into the top of the slide (which left a frustratingly obvious scratch within 5 insertions and removal cycles).  Grrrrr.

Great holster, very secure, a little bulky and prints unless wearing a very loose shirt. Rides a bit higher than I like, I wish there was a way to adjust the height.  Overall, good holster.

I had the belt clip moved by the shoe repairman to the top of the case to allow the holster to be upright on my side and not hang out at the top. The manufacturer should adapt this change to make the holster upright on the belt.

Good quality leather holster. I have several Galco products, including several Combat Master models,  that have all worked very well. Each one has fit well on the particular model gun to be used in it, breaking in within a few weeks. However, this particular holster has not seemed to break in to properly fit the Glock 17. The holster remains very tight on the weapon, making it a little tough to smoothly draw the weapon from the holster or to readily reseat the weapon back into the holster. The quality and build of the holster, like all the Galco holsters I have used, is good, but the fit is just not right for the Glock 17 so far.

The holster is a great fit for the gun; however, it is very hard to remove from said holster. Its almost as if there was a release button that wasn't installed with the holster.

I purchased this holster for my Beretta Brigadier Elite 2 (92 with a thicker slide).  While this holster says it fits my pistol, it took well over 6 months for it form itself to the pistol well enough to be able to re-holster it without partially racking the slide. (-1 Star)
The other issue I encountered was the height at which the pistol sits.  It is too high for me to use efficiently, and is not easily adjustable (-1).

Fits good and easy off and on but for my S&W 686 plus (3 in.) I had to remove the tension screw completely

From the factory the retention was way too tight.  I drilled out the rivet nearest the trigger guard and replaced it with a #8-32 1/2" (or 3/4") socket cap screw and a nylon locking nut (both from HD).  This allows infinite adjustment of the retention.  My friend who also uses this holster simply drilled out the rivet nearest the trigger guard and loves it as is.

Yes great open carry holster or for just out shooting at the range retention is adjustable but not for cant overall satisfaction
