BLACKHAWK Stache IWB Base Holster Kit

I have been carrying this holster for a little over a month now. I appendix carry and have been very impressed with the quality of how it holds up to everyday use.My pistol slides in and out without too much force but stays held firmly during everyday activities including running and bending over.I will be using Blackhawk holsters going forward for all new carry pistols.

I was surprised how good this holster is for the price. I use it for when I go on walks with workout shorts and it holds perfectly.

Overall, I am satisfied with this holster. I have a Shield Plus and the reason I picked this one is the up and down adjustability. Not sure if it is my body shape or this particular pistol, but on other holsters the grip sat too high above my waist and it would want to flip forward and not hold snuggly to my stomach. This holster has solved that problem.Good retention (at least for my pistol) and fits well, good adjustability, good trigger coverage, good price.Poor magazine release coverage, Plastic material is on the cheap side.Conclusion:Time will tell with this plastic material, and I am fine with it if it lasts and doesn't wear on the gun poorly. I haven't had a magazine release on me yet while carrying and I attribute that to the magazine release itself on this pistol be recessed slightly. They can try to promote the plastic material, but Kydex is widely used for a reason and it would be a great option on this holster. Either way, I am satisfied with this holster so far and it will be my daily use holster above much more expensive ones that sit in my closet collecting dust, which says a lot in itself. The up and down adjustability is its main selling point to me and leaves little competition in this price range.

Bought this for use as an everyday carry and it is by far the most comfortable holster that I have used so far. Hold onto my belt extremely well and does not move around at all. I would recommend this to anyone e loo,ING for something ,ow profile.

I Have a total of 4 of these holsters for my pistols and I love them. G48, G43X w/TRL-7 sub, G17 w/ TRL1, and G19 W/ TRL-7A. All fit great! PS… get the premium kit for wing and mag holster for a little more.

This is, hands down, the worst holster I have ever purchased in my life. It’s exceptionally flimsy, but the worst part is the retention. I bought the Glock 19 TLR7/8 model, and there is little to no retention with the adjustment screws turned all the way down. It’s a dangerously low amount of retention (can’t even hold it upside down without it falling out). Blackhawk quality has taken a huge nose dive (it’s never been the best). The Glock 19 is arguably the most prolific 9mm handgun on the planet, and they can’t even build a holster that works well for that. I’m completely disappointed. Do yourself a favor and spend the money on a T-Rex Arms holster. That’ll be top quality and have excellent retention.

Perfect fit and very comfy for IWB carry

Love the holster just a couple of issues for you all to know about.If these issues were addressed and fixed via the manufacturer this would be the BEST IWB holster on the market.It fails in a couple of points :Belt clip seemed well made but upon the draw if your not wearing a thicker belt in width you’ll be drawing holster and all. The belt clip could or should be made of spring steel and a little longer in length. I wear more that one belt during the week, so if I use this holster it has to be that specific belt or I draw the entire holster and firearm.Holster tension adjustment, all tho the draw is smooth the way it’s set up now with a 4 screw adjustment system is almost impossible to get the perfect tension for that smooth draw. Adjustment would work better with some type if intervention where you would adjust o1 tension screw for your draw and security of the tool of defense inserted into the IWB holster.Other than that my streamlight fits well and there is no play.Do I use the holster often: yes but not every day due to the 2 issues I addressed above.Would I recommend this holster, yes in a heartbeat, but I’d be inclined to inform them of the issues I’ve discovered with this IWB holster.
