I bought a Taurus G2c for an every day carry gun, and I looked at several holsters. I wanted a solid leather IWB holster for comfort and durability. This holster fits that requirement nicely. The leather looks great, it holds the gun very well, and the stitching is done very well. The metal clip is a very nice spring steel that easy to manipulate, but still holds on well. There is a small ridge at the bottom that prevents the holster from being pulled off too easily. With the Taurus, it fits perfectly. After the 24hr rest/break in period the gun went in, albeit very tightly. I've worn it multiple times now and the gun fits smoothly now. I don't get too much drag when I pull the gun out. I'm giving the holster five stars because of the quality versus the price. The only issue I have with this holster is the reinforcement at the top. It does a great job of holding the holster open so that it doesn't collapse. But it also adds thickness to the whole unit. This thickness is noticeable compared to the hybrid holster I have for my 1911, but not drastically so. I won't even rate this as a con, since it does serve as reinforcement to the holster and keeps the whole thing from collapsing when to go to re-holster your gun. I carry this holster above my back pocket and I'm able to sit and move comfortably.Bottom line: Great holster. Nice leather, solid craftmanship, secure hold, and stays in place. I don't think you'll find a better leather holster for the price.

I bought this for my Glock 43X because although I like kydex, it is very uncomfortable when appendix carrying. Especially during the summer time when it gets crazy hot where I live. This holster was exactly what I was looking for. Very comfortable and the leather is thick so as not to bunch up near the top when re-holstering but not too thick to be cumbersome. Fits my Glock perfectly and surprisingly has incredible retention. When it's in the waistband you can't even tell it's there. And to top it all off, it's made in America and comes with a lifetime warranty. This is my favorite concealed carry holster and I highly recommend!

Like the vast majority of firearms enthusiasts, I've invested a lot more money in holsters than I'd like to admit. Inside the waistband, outside the waistband, appendix carry, pocket, the list goes on and on. Almost all of them are sitting in a box in a closet somewhere except for two, both of which are Relentless Brands holsters. As a firearms safety instructor there's normally a holster on me somewhere and, to tell the truth, most of them are a bit uncomfortable even with a small, compact firearm. Trying to carry a large frame pistol is downright painful, and I've always wanted to carry a large frame in the one or two o'clock appendix position instead of four or five o'clock.A fellow instructor recently gave me a Relentless Tactical holster for my compact pistol and I fell in love with it immediately. After a couple weeks of frequent use with my compact, I started searching Amazon for one that would fit my large frame Sig. In short order I found it, bought it, received it, and tried it on at one o'clock and... it was comfortable (and I'm not one of those young guys who's slender around the middle)! I followed the manufacturer instructions for using a plastic bag to form the holster to the gun, which worked like a charm.Both of these holsters fit superbly and are obviously top notch quality. There is a soft lining sewn inside that is gentle on the finish, but the exterior leather is top notch and will obviously last for years and years. The clip is strong but doesn't hurt my fingers as I pull it back a little to pull the holster off - AND - it doesn't mark up my belt! I'm more impressed with this holster than I have been in a long time and am certainly going to be purchasing more. I am very pleased to recommend Relentless Tactical for their quality, workmanship, and customer service.

Comfortable Carry with Some Trade-OffsThis Relentless Tactical Defender IWB leather holster has a lot going for it. The leather is thick and well-finished, giving it a classic, sturdy feel. It molds around the firearm enough to provide decent retention without any complicated adjustments. Sliding it onto the waistband is simple, and once in place it rides securely without shifting much. I liked that the clip grips firmly, so the holster doesn’t pull out when drawing the gun.That said, leather holsters always have some compromises. Break-in is needed—at first, it felt stiff and tight, but after a few days of use it became easier to draw and reholster. The holster adds a bit of bulk compared to minimalist Kydex designs, so it doesn’t disappear under light clothing. Also, without a reinforced mouth, reholstering takes more care since the leather can collapse slightly once the gun is drawn.For comfort, it’s excellent. Against the body, the leather feels much nicer than plastic and doesn’t cause hot spots after wearing it for hours. If you prioritize comfort and traditional materials over maximum concealability or speed of reholstering, this holster is a strong choice.Bottom line: A well-built, comfortable leather IWB holster that balances security and comfort, but requires a break-in period and isn’t the slimmest option for concealed carry.

Good quality, fit the firearm well. All good.
