DeSantis Nemesis Pocket Holster - Gun Pocket Holsters for Concealed Carry, Conceal Carry Pocket Holster for Pistols, Revolvers, Soft, Designed for Comfort & Discreet Carry, Ambidextrous

I purchased this holster as a replacement for the old, worn out, deteriorating holster which came packaged with my Ruger LCP 10th Anniversary Edition, which is essentially a hybrid between the LCP Custom and LCPII, with the basic form factor of the LCP Custom, but the improved front and rear slide serrations of the LCPII, complete with a Stainless Steel slide. In spite of reviews which claim that the Nemesis Holster is no better than the one which came packaged with their LCPII, I was confident that it would be better because my brother carries his LC9s (basically the LCP's big brother) in a Nemesis Holster, which was far nicer than the holster that came with my LCP ever was. Upon receiving my holster, it was immediately confirmed to me by look and feel alone that it was indeed a superior holster, which really shouldn't be surprising considering that it's a premium holster being pitted against a freebie pack-in holster.The exterior of the Desantis Nemesis Pocket Holster is completely rubberized with a light yet sticky octagonal pattern texture, which makes it far more sticky than the stock Ruger LCP holster which merely have a lightly wavey pattern textured band of rubber stitched to the outside of the holster. What's more, this rubber coating enables the holster to hold its shape, whereas the stock Ruger LCP holster always had a disconcerting tendency to collapse in on itself if the LCP wasn't centered perfectly when inserted into the holster, in which if you hit the edge of the holster, then it would get folded into itself as you lowered the LCP back inside. Obviously, this presented something of a safety hazard, so I was forced to remedy it by always being very careful about putting it back into its holster by removing it from my pocket, placing it inside the holster, then putting the holster and gun back into my pocket together. Granted, this isn't something one would often run into, seeing as you have to draw the pistol before it would be a problem, but if you're like me and you keep it on you at all times, thus making it your go-to when examining a bump in the night for lack of anything better, then it can be a problem. In addition, the Nemesis holster is of higher build quality than the stock holster, with sturdier construction, thicker matierals, and a shape which fits my pocket better, thus keeping it in place better, and it has much tighter retention on the LCP itself.In conclusion, contrary to what I have read in other reviews which claim that this holster is no better than the one that comes packaged with the LCPII, the Desantis Nemesis is a far superior holster to the one that came packaged with my Ruger LCP 10th Anniversary Edition, which was released after the LCPII as a special commemorative edition, mind you. So unless the LCPII is being packaged with Ruger-branded Desantis Nemesis Holsters, (which would admittedly be swell) then I can only conclude that others are exaggerating or otherwise never bothered to actually carry their LCPII within the included holster to begin with, and are merely making an evaluation based on first impressions of how the two look and feel side by side with absolutely no first-hand experience to back it up.At any rate, I can safely say that this is better than the flimsy pack-in holster that came with my LCP 10th Anniversary Edition, and I wish that I had purchased one years ago, leaving the pack-in holster in box.

Absolutely a beautiful holster. The quality is amazing, it’s not bulky and definitely sturdy. It needs little break in but my piece fit right in. When drawing the it comes right out and the holster stays in place and the best thing is that it doesn’t even print looks like you have a wallet or a phone in ur pocket. Definitely recommend it.

Great in-pocked option for Glock 26. This product flat out works. Fits the G26 perfectly, soft inside so won't harm your finish (if you care) and drawing is easy, and the rubbery sticky outside part and the design with the "hook" really works; it keeps the holster inside your pocket and only the gun comes out. GREAT GREAT product. I returned my Galco King Tuk. For me, with my lifestyle, I just cannot realistically expect to carry IWB with that type of holster; forget needing pants one size too big, try two sizes. If you don't dress like a total slob, just does not work.The design of this Nemesis defeats printing too; the slab part sticking out makes it seem like a square thing is in your pocket, not a gun. Won't fit in tight jeans or tight suit pants, but for regular shorts (not even super extra baggy cargo pants needed), any pants with moderately large pocket (which is any other than skinny pants and skinny jeans, it works.I don't usually take the time to write reviews (for any product) but carrying a gun is serious business and a lot of folks have offered me free advice so I want to pay it forward. I have tried the king tuk, simple IWB single clip leather, and this in the pocket options. For you newbies, you have to be realistic about your lifestyle, the people in your life, who you work with. Are you really going to carry every day, all day? Can you walk into your office carrying IWB? Because with the King Tuk option, it is not possible to remove it without undoing your belt and probably also your pants zipper and button. Are you under 45 and dress reasonably stylishly (you're not a fat slob like the 21 year old punks you see when you google IWB options and view images)? It's not realistic.In my case, I carry when I'm walking the dog and other casual situations when I can wear baggy shorts, it's dark, nobody around (unless it's a bad guy who might attack me), certainly not hundreds of people like my crowded daytime downtown office scene. If you are like me, and it's just not realistic to carry every day monday - friday (few of my friends, co-workers, or family even know I own a gun), but you can see a realistic need and might carry when you walk your dog, when you don't expect to be sitting with unsuspecting gun-hating leftist co-workers in your tight suit pants at lunch on Wednesday, then this pocket holster is your best option, along with the simply one-clip designs that are easier to put on and take off and work just fine or BETTER, and even appendix carry (it's fine, don't keep one in the pipe and finger off trigger-appendix carry is best option if you don't have to sit down).I returned my Galco King Tuk. If your instincts are "how can that huge thing be the best option?" you are right. That feeling is probably coming from your own subconscious feeling about how you dress and the crowds in which you run in your daily life.I am thrilled with this Desantis Nemesis for my Glock 26. If your piece fits in your pocket, this holster does the job.
