    What's so special about it John?
    I have used many holsters over the years, mostly with medium frame guns like the S&W 6906 and Sig 229. Those were OWB for the most part. Later, I carried a M&P40c and Kahr P9 in a IWB, usually a Crossbreed. I was somewhat "flatter" in those days.
    The larger holsters like the Crossbreed don't fit my new physique too well so I tried the Vetter rapid tuck. It worked ok but "something" keeps pushing the leather out so it is hard to holster the gun. Additionally, I don't wear tuckable shirts anymore so having the tuckable feature just makes the holster push my pants out more for no reason.

    The reason I narrowed it down to this holster is that it is pretty thin and it has a metal clip which is also close in. I have read the reviews and people like it so I figure it is worth a shot. It is only $62 bucks so it won't kill me to give it a shot.

    Fair enough. I'll be interested in your thoughts.

    I used some of the CE holsters early on, I converted everything to Vedder Light Tuck, better construction, clip quality (metal) and they fit me perfectly.

    I have the Rounded by Concealment Express athletic wear tuckable holster designed for sweatpants. I have carried in the holster on numerous occasions my P365 IWB while wearing sweatpants. It actually works well. Even drawing from the holster in sweatpants works well with their unique clip design. The only drawback is that the sweatpants need to be cinched extremely tight to prevent the holstered firearm from sagging while carrying. That’s one reason I now pocket carry an LCP max in a DeSantis Super Fly pocket holster when wearing sweatpants.

    I have the biggest version of the shorty (infiltrator) for my SIG macro, and it is by far the best holster I've ever used. The lip on the the edge works much better than a wing/claw.

    Much easier on and off than when you have this style vs the claw. There are discount codes available

    Wings are HORRIBLE. Also, I would never get a holster that doesn't allow for different degrees of cant. Unless this picture just isn't showing it.

    Tenicor is the way to go for Sig or Glock. They are thin and tight. They actually have a card that says use of the holster will wear your gun and it's not recommended for safe queens. So many clip options. And they don't have a wing that catches under the waistband of the pants, but a small "cam" that is mounted on the holster behind the clip and the belt glides over it. They have 3 different sizes. If "winging it" is a person's thing.

    Wings/claws are also optional. It has an adjustable cant.

    Have a few, they are decent for an inexpensive AIWB or pocket holster, which is about the only ways I carry in public, not as good for 4:00 IWB. I don't tuck, and prefer the wide plastic clips, so works fine for me. They do adjust cant, and have options for wings and clips. I use the Athletic wear AIWB and pocket holsters for small pistols(my CW380 and P365 w flat mag), the standard for my P365 AIWB with flat or 12rd mag. With my XL and dot sight I do use a wing, it helps keep it stable and the handle in, some like them, some don't. Their trigger guard AIWB can be decently comfortable and is about as minimalist as a decent holster can get, but kind of a love it or hate it design

    CE is my EDC holster. It is extremely comfortable for my body frame and, once I added the claw, printing is eliminated (I have a thin build). Very pleased with it.

    Got the holster and have been wearing it all day. It fits like I had hoped and does not stick out as much as the tuck style holsters. I tried it with and without the claw. As far as I can tell, the claw does nothing for me. I am happy with it.

    Good things.

    The spring steel clips lock onto your belt better than many that I have used. This makes for a clean break when drawing. It has a nice rise above the mag release so you will never have a mag drop inadvertently.
    This holster rides pretty low which is how I like it. There is no height adjustment like that on the Crossbreed type of hybrid holsters.

    One thing I never thought about was how the holster cant is affected by using an optic. In my case, if I tilt the holster where I usually do, the Holosun 407 hits my next belt. I just backed it off a little and it works fine.

    It is very sturdy and will outlast me. I am happy with my selection.

    ****That's really good to know. Thank you for the write up. I have a Holosun on most of my carry guns now and the holster cant I had on some old non-adjustable holsters made them less than ideal for my body type. Always looking to learn new ways of carrying using different tech. I use mostly remarkably simple kydex holsters now and they seem to work ok as long as the cant is somewhat adjustable for my needs based on what I am wearing.

    If you get a chance, perhaps post pics of your setup as lots of guys in my W&C classes ask about what holsters to use, etc.. and what works for me absolutely does not work for many other people and vice versa.

    ****Thank you so much! Reviews like yours are IME much more worthwhile than online reviews from Amazon, YouTube, Pornhub, etc... where who knows if they are hired to just make up reviews ! A lot of my students ask about holsters and my experience is *very* limited to what has worked for me and for my particular carry guns.

    One of the cool things we have done at MDS meetups in the past is bring a bunch of holsters for folks to try out as some can be quite expensive, and seeing something online vs holding it, or getting someone who has that models experience can be invaluable - holsters as well as mail order brides, etc.. Lots of stuff.

    I have this one. My only complaint is it leaves marks on my P365 slide when I draw/holster it. Other than that it’s a good inexpensive holster which gets the job done.
