PHALANX DEFENSE SYSTEMS Stealth Opreator Full Size Holster

Bargain for what it is. It'll fit pretty much any semi-auto pistol you have. It could be a little tighter to the body, but for the money it's great. It'll fit subcompact Shield as well as a full size Canik.

First off, this is a fine general purpose holster that fits ALOT of guns for the bargain price. I bought both the regular size and the compact size holsters and tried them on many of the guns in my safe. Overall impressive in that they do fit many guns well, some guns fit better in one or the other sized holster (hard to predict without trying them). Not all guns fit though. Surprisingly the CZ75, and 1911 guns fit the compact with quite a bit of slop and looseness, and the regular size not at all. These are not form fit holsters. Though they may fit guns by friction and compression (some quite well), often it is easy to see the spaces between the holster and the gun body when looking down- don't expect a form fit. Because of this, various parts of guns that stick out (pins, levers, buttons, even sights, serrations or front rails) will contact the holster on insertion or removal. Scratches show up on the inside of the holster with the various guns I put it through, within a few trials. Some guns are easy to go in, hard to come out, others are the other way around. Common places to catch are the front sight and the accessory rail on the compact holster. Finally the polymer feels, looks like kydex, but it seems to scratch, gouge easier so it is a little softer. Pictured in the listing are 4 screws on both sides of the holster. What I received had rivets where the screws are pictured-- rivets only on the holster, no screws. That might be fine for occasional feel good CCW wear, but if you truly use this holster practically or a tactical class with multiple draws, or are in a situation where someone wants to take the gun from your hip, those rivets will not put up with the use and are a fail. Having drilled rivets in plastic before, it is not an easy job to replace those without melting the polymer holes, so not so easy to just replace.

Yes its hard to draw most guns st first. The material is easily worked with and its a generalized fit holster. For the money get your blow dryer out or - gasp - do some practice draws. Itll be great. One review said holster rode to high because belt loops are low, this is a high ride concealment style holster. Get a good belt not the holsters fault if it flops. I stuff my fullsize ruger american in this and its AWESOME on a $25 cheapo poly reinforced nylon belt.5 stars because its alot of holster for the money. Modify it, work on the fit, jeez I even carved a bit with a knife to acomodate my mag release. The holster rides high and tight and fits most fullsize and compact double stacks. Pretty darn cool.

At first, I was skeptical, due to the not so pleasant experience I've had with multi fit holsters in the past. But after spending months searching for an OWB holster for my Canik TP9SF, I came across this. For less than $30, not only am I pleasantly surprised about how well made this holster is, but the fact that it securely holds every pistol I own is a welcome surprise. When summer arrives, I may order the IWB version and finally get rid of my shoebox full of holsters that I don't use anymore!

It an ok holster for temporary use, it conceals well and isnt hard to thread a 1.75 inch belt through. It fits a Glock 17 very tight, so tight that you pull you pants up with the firearm which isn't too big of an issue for me as I took 80-180 grit sandpaper and sanded some material down to make it easier to holster and unholster but I've been using it for about a week with my Glock 17 and it has already caused holster wear marks on the front of the slide and trigger guard because of how tight it was and from the design. (See Pictures) This Glock 17 is brand new as of 10/12/16 it shouldn't already have holster wear. All in all its ok but not for long term use.

I like the phalanx defense items, even if they are not truly kydex, they definitely have that kydex feel that is kind of all the latest in holster design right now and at a reasonable price. What do I like most about these? No wait list as with many custom kydex holster manufactures. Wait six months because its all on backorder? No thanks, in the meantime I'll be rockin' my phalanx stuff now!! They're isn't nothing that cool about those other manufacturers that is worth that kind of wait and money. Give me a call when you actually have some inventory.....

Honestly I really like this holster and it works great with a number of different guns. It would have gotten 5 stars but it does NOT fit my Sig P320.

thinner than other kydex holsters. but love that g19, 9 17, springfield, MP fit in it. a little sharp on teh top edge was easily shaved w a sharp knife. Good value
