I've used the  Galco Underwraps Belly Band  for many years because I like that it holds my gun low and tight to my body, which is ideal for jeans and T-shirt, but after conferring with a friend who does EP work, I decided to try a leather IWB holster. Another friend had recommended the Milt Sparks Summer Special but I wasn't down for spending over a hundred bucks. I bought the  Galco Summer Comfort Inside Pant Holster  but the holster held the gun way too high and the belt keepers added too much bulk. Back it went. EP friend recommended a holster with a spring steel clip and after scouring Amazon for a while, I eventually found this Cardini Leather holster.First impressions: It smells like a baseball mitt! The brown leather is rich and I like the hand-boned appearance of the outside. The little extra flap on the inside keeps the slide off my skin, which is nice. It fits my Glock 27 and 23, plus my H&K P2000 and who knows what else? Now for the gripe: It tends to pinch my skin between the trigger guard and the inside lip when reholstering. Time to diet.I carry my G27 in it daily, usually under a loose T-shirt with jeans, and there is almost no printing. It rides nice and low (that is, with less of the gun exposed above my belt line). If I'm carrying the 23 I'll wear something with a pattern or put on a light jacket. It's comfortable enough that I'm in no rush to take it off as soon as I get home.To be able to get a comfortable, sturdy leather holster of this quality for much less than the price of a soft suede holster is pretty amazing. I’m a fan.

With a drawer full of failed holsters, I went in with my fingers crossed that this was what I was hoping for. I wouldn't say it exceeded my expectations, but it has certainly fullilled evryone of them. Holster is well made, very durable, and comfortable. I carry in the small of my back, so leather can feel pretty bulky. This one is slightly longer so the gun sits deeper. Feels great, and I feel it is more secure for the pistol not falling out. The retension clip is strong and appears durable. Pulling the pistol has no snags as some have stated. Goes back in with ease. Do not hesitate on this purchase

Right off, I am going to say that I do not like kydex holsters and only use leather. This holster does everything I want it to and does it well. I carry a Glock 17 Gen3. The fit was good from the get go and retention is about what I want. I read some reviews that mentioned the belt clip being "sharp" and "damaging belts". I have not found this to be true. The clip holds the holster where I position it, it has not caused any damage to my belt (or fingers. If it were sharp enough to damage my belt, I'd think it would damage them?). Sturdy, good looking and nice leather. I carry appendix style and can sit comfortably with it. I'd buy it again if I had the need.

I've bee putting off this review for some time, as I've wanted to give it some break in time. I carry most every day, and like most have a ton of holsters. This was to replace one of my holsters that just wore out ofter years of great service. Money is a bit tight so I though I'd buy an economy hoster. My review is like this. Gun fits great. I've had no retention issues whatsoever. The clip is very sturdy. It is almost a pain to clip it over my belt and pants, but holds fast very well. Comfort, well here is where it doesnt cut it for me. It's broken in quite well now and it still dig into my side something awful. I carry on the right side just forward of my hip. This is how I've always carried, and found it to be the best position for me. This holster will rub me raw in about 3 hours of wear. The leather is just so stiff. I even went out and bought a pair of pants 2 sizes up from normal. Still rubbed. I'm an average guy 5'9" 190lbs. Lottlw pudgy but not really fat. Now my older brother thinks it's great, but hes 6'2"... needless to say hes getting it for christmas this year lol. Like I said comfort is very subjective. Didnt work for me may work better for others.

The media could not be loaded.  This is a very nice high quality leather product, however I found after many attempts at wearing it that after a short time it begins to dig into my thigh (AIWB) the cause is that the gun sight edge Is not rounded, it almost comes to a point

I got the first one for my new sig p938 and liked it so much i got this one for the glock 19 the next day! Works great. Been looking for a budget friendly leather holster with a sweat guard for some years now. Metal clip is a no joke spring clip. I have had no issues with it on the belt and drawing at all. It is very well finished and has suede lining.Just 2 issues, one is it needs to be stitched closer to the trigger guard. 2nd is remove some of the extra leather that digs into your leg.I made 2 mods to it, I retro fitted an alien gear screw to act as a retension/stop screw for the trigger guard so it does not seat so far down . The second was to heat and bend up the leather so it don't dig into your leg when you sit down. **see attached pictures** still a 5 star holster without the mods. It's just what I wanted it to be is all.

Got this to carry a Gen 4 Glock 19 and, after using it for two months, I couldn't be happier with it. I carry IWB, SOB and it is very, very comfortable to wear. And, with my firearm removed, I can sit comfortably in my car and drive without having to take off the holster. The leather is top quality, looks fantastic and fits my Glock 19 like a glove, holding it as securely as anything else on the market. The belt clip is strong and keeps the holster exactly where I want it. And, for now at least, I haven't seen any wear marks on my slide. This would be a bargain at twice the price. I'm not being paid to write this and didn't get anything for free, either. I just love this holster.
