Holster Review Resource

I'm curious to see how the Remora holds up to movement. Sitting standing, bending to get in and out of the car without falling out. Drawing etc. Price is good. I need a small holster for my LCR.

Well I can tell you that after several days wear I can confidently say that the Remora design is solid. The holster does NOT move after being placed on the body. However if your waistband is not capable of holding the weight of the pistol that is a different story, but a simple way to figure this out is that if the waistband/belt you are wearing does not provide enough pressure to provide good retention then the holster will not stay in place. And as noted previously my EDC is pretty hefty so if you carry smaller and lighter this will be of no relevance. So a big thumbs up to whoever did the R&D here. The material on the exterior of the holster preforms as well as prescribed.

When speaking of comfort of the holster I have nothing but good things to say. The holster wears exceedingly well, in fact the comfort level is better then my Comp-Tac Spartan. The only down side that have found is that a base layer between you and holster makes for a much better experience, however the same can be said for about any holster.

Concealablity is not as good as I would have hoped but it seems to be a product of the reinforced top. But a simple solution exist for this, buy the version without. As for the tuckable feature it works really well once in place however getting the holster set initially can provide some difficulty. But again this is not a feature that one has to deal with, it is just a feature that I prefer.

I recently received my Remora for my Hi Power. I did not get the tuckable option but really wish I would have.

The other day I decided that I wanted to add a concealable OWB holster to my collection. Thus my internet search begin. And after looking around a bit I cam across the Bianchi 125 (it is part of the Allusion line), at under $50 I decided to give it a shot. The holster is a reinforced leather OWB/IWB holster that is of surprisingly good quality given the price. I say OWB/IWB holster because while it was designed for OWB carry it does come with a second set of belt loops that allow for IWB carry as well. My impressions on this are that in terms of IWB use the holster works but my Comp-Tac Spartan is undoubtedly better. For OWB use this holster just rocks. It is comfortable, rides close to the body and conceals well, offers good retention (could be a little better here), and holds it shape very well. So if one is looking for a good OWB concealment holster this is most certainly something for your consideration.

Adding this company. I have not used them, but a friend who just got his CHL is using one for his SR9c and really likes it. Seem similar to the Remora no-clip holsters. Also have various accessories. http://www.stickyholsters.com/index.php

I am interested in the Remora. I have read 99% good things on other forums about it. I have decided to initially go with a different non conventional system (3 speed) but I am still thinking of either the Remora or Sticky Holster too.
