Steve T.
Well, I have mixed feelings. I really like the roto shoulder holster. It is top quality and fits me well. My only issue is that the retention strap is of no use. When snapped, I can still easily draw my firearm. It seems that the strap snap should have been placed in a higher position in order to retain my Canik. It could be the design of my firearm prohibiting good retention with the strap but if Craft Holsters are going to state that they design their holster to fit a specific pistol, it should function with that pistol or the pistol should not be listed as an option.
