268 FlatSider XR17 Paddle Holster

If you are a fan of having your pistol near your armpit then this is for you! I HATE A HIGH-RIDE HOLSTER. This holster is beautifully constructed very professional bit my word or super hight on my belt. I am 6’5 I hear my pant where the normal.himan wears them. This holster sits right at my rib cage. Because how it sits the weapons becomes top heavy. I was in court and when I sat in the bench to testify my holster unclipped and fell next to me 😳

I have Galbi that was much better quality, we shall see if this lasts.

High quality holster that fits my G23 perfectly. Snap retention seems to be of good quality. I love the brown leather look. The holster attaches to a curved plastic molding that slides inside your belt and pant waistline (doesn't require you to thread your belt through anything) which makes putting it on and taking it off really easy. My go to holster in general especially since it's so easy to throw on in a hurry when running out of the house. I will say that it sticks out from my hip a little so I can't wear it concealed under a non-baggy t-shirt but then again, the G23 isn't an easy gun to conceal.

Shipping was fast and holster was as decribed. It was a supper tight fit for my p226 so I lathered it down with Mink Oil and left the gun in the holster overnight and the next day it was a perfect fit.

This is my second flatsider paddle. My first was for my 239, this one for my 229. Great holster! Concealable under a pullover or jacket. This is not a deep-cover holster, but I love it because you can put it on literally as you are heading out the door. Make sure you have a sturdy belt. I have a 1.5" 5.11 ccw belt and it works well. I will probably upgrade to a 1.75" though.

Not to happy with product. Had to sand and oil inside of holster to make it usable. Ordered the black and not very well done. Black color is shiny and has already worn off to some degree. What is most disturbing is the AKER safety information sheet that comes with the holster. The last paragraph states and I quote " All AKER products are sold "AS IS' and "WITH ALL FAULTS". The entire risk as to the quality and performance is with the buyer. Should any AKER product prove defective following its purchase, the buyer, not the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer, assumes the entire risk of all necessary servicing or repair. The implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose and all other warranties, expressed or implied are excluded from the transaction and shall not apply to the product sold. The determination of the fitness or suitability of any product for a specific use is the responsibility of the buyer." Would not buy this product again but would pay more for a better product.

This holster is absolutely awesome well constructed and looks great too.

Product looks good but is not very practical. Pancake doesn’t secure well in your pants. Definitely a high ride holster but it doesn’t sit close to the body. There are design issues so it does not feel secure and would be easily taken in a struggle.
