- Fits belts up to 2 inches, so it may not suit wider belt setups without a different carry option.
- The adjustable strap with snap adds security, but it also means an extra step when holstering and drawing.
- The polyester exterior and nylon interior provide a practical build, though this is a straightforward holster rather than a more specialized carry system.
- The web sight guard and snagproof lining help with draw smoothness, but the holster is still designed around a specific firearm fit and carry style.
