Fobus, uncle mikes kydex, blackhawk serpa, and a few off brands. This one is the most comfortable one i have used. The higher ride/draw height on the belt takes a little getting used to, but is worth it. The high ride height makes it much more comfortable when sitting and driving, and less likely to show the muzzle from under a shirt or jacket. It holds my full size FN pistol in tight to my side. The passive retention is more than sufficient when adjusted correctly. I can shake the holster with the unloaded pistol upside down and it stays, but still draws easy enough. The paddle is a little big, but the shape and curve keep the holster from shifting around. It also comes with a belt loop to replace the paddle if you prefer that. Great holster for the money, definitely recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Holster! *by H***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2017* This is a great holster for IDPA style shooting. It has enough retention to hold the pistol securely, but it releases instantly when you draw. You do have to adjust the tension to your liking.The paddle keeps the holster far more stable and tight to your body than the belt mount. I would suggest using the paddle for the best concealability.Keep in mind that this is essentially a plastic holster with a small piece of leather glued to the body side of the inside of the holster to protect the pistol. After thousands of draws out of this holster, my Glock 17 shows signs of wear on the finish on the sides of the slide.Other than the finish wearing a little, this is one of the best holsters I have ever owned. In fact, I own six of them for the various pistols I shoot and they all work fantastic. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars My search for the perfect holster is over. *by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2016* Of the half dozen or so holsters that I've purchased, this Safariland holster is by far the best. It holds my LC9s very securely, discretely and comfortably. The paddle is slightly curved which keeps the holster very comfortably positioned outside my waistband. The holster has a thin felt-like lining to protect the gun's finish. What I like most about this holster is that it holds the gun high and tight to the body with no flopping around. The gun is held very firmly, yet drawing and reholstering is quick and precise. This holster and the LC9s are an outstanding combination for concealed carry. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/57371011-5198-open-top-concealment-paddle-belt-loop-holster-with-detent](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/57371011-5198-open-top-concealment-paddle-belt-loop-holster-with-detent) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
