Does this holster hold the gun high enough out of your pants so you can get a solid grip? In the picture, the belt clip appears to be too high.

In my case, yes it does. However, I think that's a bit of subjective answer as different people draw and present slightly differently. I have no problem getting a solid purchase on the gun in both controlled, or quick situations, I find no binding and no issues. I'll put in the disclaimer that your mileage may vary in accordance with both your positioning and your draw style.

It would depend on how you wish to wear it. I'm a right-handed shooter and I wear it on my right hip at the 4 o'clock position with the mag well to the rear. I absolutely love this holster from that draw. I carry my full-size H&K P30 and numbers of people have commented on how well I conceal a full-size pistol IWB. If you were going to carry an inverted draw, this may be a tough holster for that. Also, I would not recommend a soft holster like this if you have a trigger - mounted safety such as the Glocks or my new VP9. I strongly recommend a more rigid holster for those types of pistols simply to prevent inadvertent firing when reholstering. I hope this helps you choose.

Yes...the gun comes out holster stays. You will like it. A little practice makes it very easy

No. When I wear a belt wider then 1 inch I clip the holster to my pants close to a belt loop. Seems to work fine and I've never had a problem.

When you wear this holster as designed, the paddle goes inside the waistband and the holster is on the outside of the pants. Your belt should be very snug to keep the paddle secure. Some people make the mistake of placing the paddle between the belt and the outside of the pants. Bad idea because there is a good chance that there will not be enough material to prevent the holster from pulling out with the pistol when the pistol is drawn. If this happens, the results could be tragic.

The angle of the holster is battle and field tested and I'm not aware of a total horizontal holster/vest. Personally, I think it would compromise the weapon if it were in a complete horizontal position.

In my holster, it seems as though there are two levels of "grip". If you push the gun in as hard and far as it will go, it is a bit tight removing it. But I find that if I don't push it quite so far down it still maintains retention, but comes out a bit easier, without giving me the feeling it will fall out. I probably would not jog with it unless pushed down all the way.

Good question! I carry in a pocket holster in my pants pocket. Because the grip extension is on the forward side of it does not affect concealment-it extends downward into the pocket holster.

it will definitely hold it without a doubt but I did not like it. I felt like I was wearing a weight belt all the timeso I ended up going with the IBW holster.

No. The one I have at least, for my J-frame, rides high. It is perfect for just behind the strong side hip. Also fits well for cross draw in front of weak side hip. Maybe the holsters for bigger guns hang differently, but the little one is not at all suited for hanging down your leg.

The holster is snug as it is outside the belt. Never had an issue with it. Sure, wearing it inside the belt would make it tighter, but could hinder the draw.

Positoned slightly above center but the clip is almost as long as the holster is deep so it doesn't hang away from your body and the clip can be rotated.

I have that exact same gun and the holster works perfectly. The fit is nice. The retention is okay; occasionally comes out some when I sit in my truck, but it's a big gun anyway!

When inserted, they are not as wide as the gun so yes, I would say so. I do not have that holster, but yes. I carry the little Elsie Pea myself, and as you know, with no safety, I felt uncomfortable "full to the top". This is a nice solution. Put a light coat of Vaseline around the O.D. of it to make it pop out more easily. I like it!

A belt is not used or required for this holder, it "clips" over the edge of your pants instead. The paddle goes on the inside of your pants and the holster is on the outside. The rubber on the outside of the paddle, the part that sits against your leg inside of your pants, helps it grip. From what I recall, if wearing a belt there is a recess on the paddle that helps the holster grip a little better and adds to the stability of the holster, but I have not had it slip around without a belt.

It has a slightly sticky outer coating to stay in your pocket, while the inside is slick so the gun comes out easily. It works wonderfully that way, but gravity is on your side: Gravity holds the gun down in you pocket until you want it. Loose, in a purse, the holster it might be a problem. If there were a pocket or compartment to hold the gun upright, that might help, but if the purse got tossed in a chair, or on the floor the gun could easily slip out.

I returned it - didn't like the way it fit on my belt. The Ruger is a heftier gun. I would say this is probably not the right holster for you.

The holster is carried Outside the belt. If you try to place it inside, then your belt would no longer have any smooth surface to support it correctly. Also, it would deform the leather.. KH
