    hi guys got a new parker holster and have some questions and concerns,being this is my first kydex/leather iwb holster. now I have a glock30 w/rails 3rd gen and from the first day till now i dont like the way my gun fitsin and out the holster. my question is this halfass normal and needs to be broken in or not the right kydex shell(the holster maker said this kydex shell comes from glock)
    question 1-- my trigger guard hits going in and I have to push it over to holster it

    question 2-- the slide is "chewing out" the dimple where the open part of the slide and barrel sit and causing a white line

    question 3-- the gun is very hard to pull out of the holster- it is a lil bit{very lil}easier after 50 inserts and extracts-when i pull fast the holster and gun come out as one
    I know its the correct one because my g31 is to loose width wise
    i have no other issues its very comfy and nice feeling with shorts or jeans or slacks. i dont usually wear a belt, maybe this has has something to do with it

    any thoughts guys

    That white line appears to be a stress point on the kydex, in other words it's about to crack. Simply put...it's a poorly made knockoff holster made with kydex that is too thin. If at all possible I'd get your money back and spend the extra bucks for a Comptac MTAC.

    Hey man I made the same mistake and picked up one of them for one of my glocks and couldnt get the gun out once I had it on!! Gave it away (would have threw it away but somebody wanted it) and bought another crossbreed!

    Me, I'd second the suggestion to get an MTAC Min. I have Galcos as well but LOVE the MTAC. Don't know how you can get away without a belt though... It's the only thing that even keeps my pants up!
