    Turn around time was right about 10 days on this one since I jumped on it when they were shaping a bunch of holsters for the Shield.

    I guess I'd have to try it, but nothing about these giant riveted kydex holsters ever looks comfortable to me.

    I used to feel the same way, but after trying an making a couple I like 'em. Compare to other types I've owned (Blackhawk, Safariland ALS, etc) the gun is MUCH more stable and it distributes the weight much better.

    But they do not have retention like a Safariland ALS.

    Okay... but what about semi-custom leather or kydex? Sorry, no way I'm gonna believe that these riveted things are any more stable or have better weight distribution than a Sparks BN55, Rosen 5JR, BladeTech OWB, SideArmor OWB, et. al.

    .

    I don't do leather. The riveted style aren't the "best" at anything, but they are modular (can be used IWB or OWB and with a variety of loop styles), and the wider design does print less and is more comfortable IWB from my experience.

    They have their place. Like any other holster, it comes down to personal preference.

    Does it come with IWB belt clips or no?

    I thought it did by looking at the picture on the website but they come OWB and not like the picture.
    I realized after the holster arrived I needed to order attachments for it to be used IWB.
