Excellent holster. Very snug out of the package. Run hot water over it and work the leather with your hands. Insert your pistol and let it dry.

I tried three other similar Kydex holsters from different manufacturers for my Glock 19 and had problems with retention, fit, and/or the belt clip with all three. This Concealment Express holster was highly recommended to me by a friend who has been using these holsters for years for his Glock 17 and 19 and his S&W Shield. I received the holster about two days after ordering it and the fit and retention are INCREDIBLE. There is an audible *click* when the gun is holstered and the retention is excellent (and adjustable). I like that the Kydex comes up higher on the side of the holster against your body to act as a sweat guard and prevent the gun itself from rubbing against your skin. The clip works great on several belts I've tried and the angle of the clip can be adjusted to cant the holster to your desired angle. Will definitely buy again for other guns. Five stars all the way around for me!

This is a great leather holster for the Ruger Mark series pistols.  I bought it for my bull barrel Mark I after the undercut front sight destroyed the foam lining in the black nylon holster I bought first.  This leather holster was intially such a tight fit for my Mark I I had to resort to using a broom handle and leather conditioner to stretch the leather so the pistol would smoothly go into the holster.  The holster is made with quality leather and the walnut oil finish is outstanding. The spring stiffener on the thumb break is a nice addition.  It doesn't show in the holster picture, but the belt loop is attached to the holster so the pistol grip will cant forward.  Overall I would highly recommend this very nice leather Triple K holster for the Mark pistols.  I expect  many years of service from this holster.

Very nice holster, comfortable to wear.  Highly Recommend to all.  Fits like a glove.  Have also used it for my wife's Sig 938.

Follow up 7/1/2013:

Just received my premium 1/4" thick Bullhide Belts gun belt and to my dismay I discovered that this holder is *NOT* sized for a 1.5" wide 1/4" thick gun belt - the holster belt opening is not wide enough to accommodate the 1/4" thickness and it's extremely difficult to pull the belt through the holster, I gave up trying to use the holster with the new belt.  Sigh...
---------------------------------------------------

One year follow up 2/16/2013:

This holster is still my daily carry choice - it goes on my belt every day about 99.99% of the time, the other 0.01% of the time I'm wearing the Kangroo Carry shoulder holster.  The Bianchi is holding up extremely well, still completely satisfied with the choice - zero regrets and I highly recommend the holster.  (I have no interest in promoting this product - I just really like it :) )
---------------------------------------------------

I've been carrying my M&P 9 mm Compact IWB (Galco KingTuk) which has worked out really well and I like the KingTuk - however not wanting to fill a closet full of new trousers one waist size larger, I started to look at OWB carry.

While I wanted a high quality holster, I did not want to wait 4-12 weeks to have it built or pay $100 for two pieces of leather sewn together that may or may not work well for me.  So after quite a bit of research, I settled on Bianchi and then chose the model 57 "Remedy."  The overall holster size looked appropriate, they had a model specific to my M&P Compact (size 13A) and I liked the forward cant or angle of the holster as it sits on the belt.

Impressions -

Build quality is excellent and the holster has a beautiful fit, finish and appearance, in fact I think it looks like a holster twice as expensive.  The leather is perfectly formed to fit my M&P and hold it securely.  In fact, it holds the pistol so well I have been unholstering and holstering the weapon many times to get it broken in.  It will be interesting to see if the holster loosens up to the point to where it doesn't seem secure the pistol well enough since there is no retention mechanism other than the friction of the leather.

In the pictures uploaded of the holster on my belt, note the width of my belt is exactly 1.5" which is the width of belt opening on the holster.  With a 1.5" wide belt, the holster stays exactly in position and doesn't wobble around.

The draw angle is just perfect for me and it must be about the same as my KingTuk.

Conclusions -

The model 57 is a tremendous value for the money and I'm extremely pleased with my choice.  Highly recommended.

Excellent leather, along with quality fit and finish. This holster makes for a great concealed carry, due to the belt loop mount is directly on the holster without any set screws. The safety system works flawlessly (2 tier safety system, thumb lock and latch to lock thumb lock). I have posted pictures 1) Glock 17  2) Glock 30S.  These were not listed, but work great due to an open barrel end. The holster measures approximately 6 inches from hammer to barrel. The holster from the widest belt loop ends measures approximately 5 inches. The belt loops measure 2.036 inches and easily allow the use of a 1 3/4 inch belt.

This holster is awesome. Comfortable, light, simple, straightforward design, and handmade in the USA by a small business. I won't repeat what other reviewers have already said about great this product is. Customer service from Vedder is very good. When I received my light tuck, there was some play when the weapon was holstered. Come to find out, the .40 version of the PPQ is 0.1" longer in barrel length than the 9mm. Long story short, Vedder was able to swap my holster for a properly fitting one VERY quickly. So, if you're looking to get one for the PPQ .40S&W, keep that in mind, and perhaps email Vedder before hand. Even with this minor error, the product gets 5 stars.

Originally it fit pretty tight but after a week or so it loosened up and slides in and out of the holster quite nicely. I'd highly recommend it!

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.

Where should I begin. The holster itself is awesome it looks cool and does NOT feel cheap I was surprised with the quality. It arrived a day prior to what I was expecting so delivery is fast! The only down side is that it did not fit my duty belt which sucks but not the products fault. So if your belt is bigger than 5cm (2inches) I wouldn't go for this specific holster. And I'm using it for a Ruger SR45 and it fit like a glove.

Quite pleased with both the quality of this product and how well it fits my Colt 45 revolver Model P repro with a 7-1/2" barrel. With the revolver fully inserted the holster is ca1/2" longer than the gun barrel. Trigger is still accessible when revolver is in holster. There is a leather loop meant to be put over the hammer in order to keep the revolver securely in the holster. Unfortunately, this loop is held so extremely snugly between the stiff thick stitched double thickness leather construction that I have not been able to extent the loop the wee amount needed to get it over the hammer.

Leather tho stiff as a corpse is thick and heavily tooled and has a deep mahogany reddish brown color. Both the holster and belt are double thickness and stitched [single not double row] with the flesh sides on the inside toward one another. Holster including its full length hanging/tiedown strap is a single piece with an integral third heavily tooled exterior layer. Holster is fastened to the back side tiedown flap via a snap closure on a 1" wide strap that is itself fastened to the back side flap via a large brass brad.

Belt is 3" wide and for the 46" size has 23 cartridge loops that will each hold a 45 Colt shell very securely. I wear a 42" jeans so per instructions ordered a 46" belt. The belt buckle strap has six [6] holes on 1-1/2" centers. There is not enough additional strap length to punch additional holes at either end. I wear this on the 4th hole from the belt buckle end. It fits snugly enough to stay on and can be canted down slightly on the holster side. Distance from my hand to handle of revolver is natural and comfortable. Both ends of the buckle portion of the belt are fastened to the holster/cartridge belt with a heavy brass brad. The robustly designed buckle appears to be brass.

Holster leg tiedown is a single replaceable leather strip that should acommodate a 32" circumference lower thigh with 4" on each end left for tying the ends together. Holster can be removed from belt and worn with pants belt.

Premium leather. Extremely tight fit. Almost too tight. My pistol has been in the holster for more than a week now. Still very difficult to remove/replace the pistol in this holster. I am hopeful that it stretches adequately.

Saving grace is the ultra premium leather and snap.

Excellent holster. Fits the gun nice and snug but still nice and easy to pull it out when you need to. Thanks cardini

Very nice holster, well made and easy to use with security knowing that without intent, the firearm is not coming out.

Excellent craftsmanship, fits perfectly. Only downside is that it's too bulky to be a concealed carry holster. It's perfect and comfortable for the range/open carry.

Excellent build quality and premium fit.  Just a heads up -- this holster is molded so that the face of the screen goes towards you NOT towards the flap like in the picture.  Those complaining of a tight fit are most likely using it wrong!

Extremely good quality shoulder holster.  Very tight fit for my 1911 which requires some work.  Very comfortable to wear. I will consider Galco for all other holster needs.
