GlockSport Combat Holster, 9mm/40/357

In observation, to me it seems unreasonable for poor feedback to be given on products where the reviewer gives negative opinions for an item that in fact performs exactly the way it claims. I've read reviews where the reviewer gave one star while explaining for example the item just didn't work well for them, despite having performed as outlined in the description.For that reason and that reason alone I have decided to offer my review on this product. As a newbie in the area of handguns and concealed carry, and without a typical retail outlet in my area offering anything over the counter, I purchased two different handguns via FFL (Federal Firearm License holder), neither of them Glocks. One an SR9c, a compact, the other an LC9 a sub-compact thinking I could not make a decision for one over the other without any experience for a good comparison. For anyone not familiar with these two handguns they are both Ruger 9mm, smaller than a full sized pistol and are comparable in size to the Glock 26 and the Glock 43 respectively. Since a holster was required before enrolling in the Concealed Carry Course offered at my local law enforcement agency I purchased this holster estimating it would fit well with one of the two handguns I plan to use for conceal carry. Remarkably I can use both of my Ruger pistols in this holster. I new it was an inexpensive holster and even though I read reviews of other holsters and watched on-line demo videos on various holsters I knew purchasing this holster would serve several goals for me. 1) first star, the cost is minimal, I can attend the class, and as my knowledge grows I can seek a higher quality holster. 2) second star, this holster is made of a pliable but rigid plastic and it is durable. I suppose if you wanted to damage it you could but as it is designed to be on your person, if you happen to end up with it broken or mis-shaped, you too will be broken or mis-shaped, or you are simply negligent. I wear mine with the belt over the holster keeping it close to my person rather than under the holster as I have seen some wearers prefer. 3) third star, I have found it is a good holster for other handguns too. My 18 year old grandson can wear it at the shooting range and places his Colt 1911 22LR in this holster, multiuse! 4) forth star, I have now discovered I can use it as a temporary holster attached inside my automobile for when I cannot carry my concealed handgun into a government office, thereby keeping my handgun securely and for the most part hidden inconspicuously in my vehicle, again, multiuse. I should mention I do at times place my handgun in a security box inside the trunk compartment of my vehicle when I will be away from it for an extended length of time, normally an hour or more. This doesn't work when I drive my truck. 5) fifth star, is designed as OWB (Outside Waist Band), is somewhat universal in that it is both right or left hand usable, has removable (not replaceable once removed) tabs to fit your belt size, can be made to have different holster cant angles (again not able to return to original state once tabs are removed), belt can be over the holster or under the holster.I got it delivered in an acceptable length of time and although I have no thought of returning it, the fact that I could is worth a lot to me, thank you AMAZON. I plan to purchase a second on of these holsters even though these will not be used as concealed carry holsters.I think I've covered most everything, so in closing, how could anyone give a poor review on an economy item that is designed to be useful in a variety of applications? It might not fit your personal handgun like a glove and if that is your goal don't be so cheap as to cheat the company by sticking poor reviews on their head where they have no way of getting you to understand how ridiculous you are for making these claims. Go spend the several hundred $$$ it will cost you to have a custom holster made to fit you and your handgun. On the other hand, it is possible to give a quality review and still return an item to the seller that simply does not fit your needs. Hope this helps someone.

So I wear a sport coat most days. Wear this right on my side about 4 to 5 position. It's tough as can be, I'm pretty sure it's the same material they use to make glocks, maybe just a little softer, but it's not like an easy rip rubber or anything, it's tough, trust me.I'm able to cover and conceal my gun because of the sport coat, so when I'm wearing one, it is just the most comfortable way to carry.It's light..I mean like fractions of an ounce, it fits probably every glock model out there except probably the single stack models, like the 34 and such. I use it with a subcompact model 26.It completely covers the trigger. One of my number one rules, and should be everyones rule as well, there is no way something can work it's way in, or press up against some flimsy material like some pocket holsters are made out of, and cause a negligent discharge. This should be everyone who carries most important rule. Be smart if you carry.Great retention, though it is not adjustable, I think it pretty much is in a sweet spot, shouldn't come out until you want it to, and you pull it with enough force. No falling out because your belt turned over while you're in the bathroom, that sort of thing, it's staying in till you want and need it, with a forceful draw.It molds to your body after awhile, and gets a slight curve to follow your hip.I have a kydex holster concealment express, IWB with belt clip, which I like too, its my second favorite holster. I tried a an alien gear holster, with like a neoprene backing, which when tight against my belt, it was IWB, it would chamber my gun because of the pressure as I need to wear my belt tight, plus the soft backing could potentially allow the trigger to be pressed while it was holstered. I will never wear one of them.So if you can carry OWB, or you open carry, here is the best few dollars you can spend on a holster, it's cheap, which is just another thing to love, no spending almost a hundred dollars on someone elses supposed worlds greatest holster. Glock made it already.

Not sure about the G26, but the G19, 17 and 34 work great.The main advantage of this thing is how close it stays to your body. It is pretty much ideal for a concealed OWB, e.g. under an open jacket. I carry a G19, which is about as big of a CCW as most people would consider, and it all but disappears.Build quality is good. You might think otherwise when you pull it out of the package, but give it a chance. When I first saw this thing, my first impression was that it was a piece of junk. It is ugly and lightweight plastic, but it functions very well.Retention is perfect; don't worry about the review that says otherwise. He is either not using it correctly or doesn't have a pistol belt.A few minor caveats...It is not that easy to slide on and off a 1.5" pistol belt. I am currently using a Blackhawk! QCQ belt. For the tightest fit on a 1.5", you'll want to clip the top retaining tabs. Even though it's not that easy to slip on and off, you want the tightest fit possible, so it comes with the territory.This will not work with an extended mag release without modification. If you have an extended mag release, which many of us do, you will have to cut out a small notch. This will be apparent and you will figure it out easily, so don't worry. The plastic is very pliable, so it can be easily cut with a decent knife or scissors.Lastly, this is not a great holster for open carry unless you are really broke. For an open carry holster, you will want something that sticks out a little bit more. This holster is really snug.I would rate this holster 4.5 stars due to the aforementioned reservations, but, considering the price, I feel that only rating it 4 stars is doing it a disservice.
