The Defender Leather IWB Holster - Fits Most 1911 Style Handguns - Kimber - Colt - S & W - Sig Sauer - Remington - Ruger & More - Made in USA

I was skeptical at first that a holster with such a low price tag could be a quality item. I was wrong. The leather is gorgeous. It is very well made and functions perfectly. Very comfortable too. Fit on the firearm is snug enough you can invert it and it will not slip out. Drawing and re-holstering is smooth. It will not collapse after the draw. Highly recommended!

Right out of the box this is what I was looking for to take care of my S&W1911PD. Its a full size 1911 that sits at home too much because I just didn't know for sure what to get for it. I wanted something that would not only fit well in the waistband but would also give me the gun fit I wanted. I took a gamble and came up a winner with the Relentless Tactical Defender.Take a look at my photos, I provided an open end view so you can see how far the pistol rests down in the holster, its about a dime distance away from the barrel to the end of the holster for this particular gun. The S&W1911PD slide measures out to just about 6 3/4 inches (8.0 overall gun length) and holster clearance measurement from front end to trigger guard is 3", so you can see that it fits VERY NICELY.Comfort level is excellent with this holster and I find that the clip is sufficiently tight enough that its not going to try and come out with the gun on a draw. We'll see how that lasts over time because now that I have a viable holster, guess who gets to start going to more dinners and movies with me? (All you 1911 guys and gals out there appreciate the love fest we have with these things right?)Plus wow, it looks great too! Not that I really care about that as much, but it doesn't hurt to have a handsome companion for your pistol.Just want to add my apologies for the desk shadows in the pics. I actually scratched the crown of the holster putting the gun in the safe, very minor and nobody's fault but my own - just adds character and an ownership mark. :)Shipment was fast, discreet enough packaging and right on time. Pretty impressed with Relentless so far! Keep up the great work of getting quality products. Would not hesitate to order again.Respectfully, yours.

The holster itself is extremely simple in design, making it lightweight (which is great, because 1911's are heavy enough as is). The belt clip is, again, simple, but holds the holster tight to my belt while still being easy to put on and take off.The design also helps with printing. The waistband of my pants doesn't sag where I've got the holster clipped, and I can sit down without having to adjust anything. The wear-in period was very short. Just taking the weapon in and out of the holster a few times throughout the day was enough to fit it perfectly. No, there is no retention system, but unless you're planning on hanging upside-down while carrying your weapon, I don't think you'll have any issues. It holds tight enough that the weapon won't come out unless you want it to.I've gone through 3 different holsters for my 5" 1911 (Remington R1, if anyone was wondering), and this is the only one that's allowed me to wear as few layers as possible while still concealing my weapon on freakishly skinny frame. I've been wearing it every day since it arrived, with outfits ranging from an untucked henley shirt and jeans while errands to a slim fit, tailored suit while attending a symphony. It's only slightly uncomfortable when sitting down (if I'm wearing a thinner shirt behind the holster, the rear of the weapon digs into my torso, but that's not a fault of the holster)My only concern (which isn't really that valid, honestly) is that the mag release button is exposed. You'd have to try VERY HARD to bump it while wearing it, since that side of the weapon faces inward. Especially with a mag in, the button is pretty stiff, so I doubt it'll ever pop out unannounced.

Very nice high quality holster for the money. The belt clip is super strong and very resistant to permanent bending. The leather is very nice with consistent grain and smooth, burnished edges. It fit pretty tightly around my govt. issue Tisas Duty. Followed the recommendation of wrapping a plastic bag around your piece before inserting it and leaving it for 24 hours- it actually worked great. I removed one star only because it’s pretty hard to conceal. I’m 6’0 160lbs for reference.I actually tried the other leather holster offered by the same company, it turned out to be much thinner and worked perfectly. So if this holster doesn’t work out for you, I’d highly recommend checking the manufacturer’s store for other products.
