These are holsters of excellent quality. This is number 3 for me, final total will be 4. Looking for a shirt solution to allow me to use these in hot weather. I am an old man who tends to wear tucked in shirts, so IWB is not a good solution for me. Have used various shoulder holsters since the 80's and these are the best I have found. Great quality, price and customer service, their customer service should be studied by other businesses.

I’m sure this won’t get posted where others can read it so I will be sure it gets posted elsewhere. If I could rate them lower than one star, I surely would!!!! I asked for a label to return the holster because when I ordered it, I told them I had a Trijicon RMR Green Dot Optical Sight on my pistol. They claim I ordered a holster for a plain, iron sight, FNX-.45 Tactical and that is what they sent! I’m a former Federal Special Agent and a 100% Disabled Veteran and Above Knee Amputee. Both of my EDC pistols have a Trijicon Green Dot RMR Optical Gun Sight on them and with every holster I’ve ever ordered, I have made special efforts to mention I have the Trijicon Optic mounted on the slide. This holster order was no different. I made a special effort to make sure it was known my FNX-.45 Tactical had a Trijicon Green Dot Optical Gun Sight mounted on the slide. Well, their solution was for me to pay to ship it back to them and pay a 25% Restocking fee. They also recommended I put the 75% refund into my account with Craft Holsters to save for my future purchases!!! I had to laugh over that idea, due to the way this has been handled and due to the fact I was unable to find some of the most important qualities I look for in a holster for a weapon I will be carrying to protect my life or the life of someone else and based on this, THERE CERTAINLY WILL NOT BE ANY FUTURE PURCHASES MADE BY ME TO ANYTHING FROM CRAFT HOLSTERS!!!! The leather used is low quality leather and extremely stiff. The inside of the holster has no lining to protect the finish on your weapon. Only one side of the holster is form fitted to the weapon. The side against your body is just flat leather and has no form of the weapon!!!! At best, this holster I received is an example of SHODDY WORKMANSHIP and if I were the CEO of Craft Holsters, I would be both EMBARRASSED and ASHAMED at having sent this holster to a prospective customer!!!!! The holster arrived mostly flat, even though it was packaged in a box which prevented it from being smashed during shipment. It was packaged very nicely with the utmost care. However, great packaging of a poor product doesn’t make a great product. Just because you put Lipstick and Makeup on a Pig doesn’t change the fact it is still a Pig. I refuse to ever pay a restocking fee to any company and since they (Craft) never even offered to exchange the holster for one which is made for an FNX-.45 Tactical with a Trijicon Optical Green Dot RMR Sight mounted on the slide, I will use this as a $94.00 lesson I won’t soon forget and I will make sure I pass this lesson onto as many people as possible!!! At first, I was just disappointed with the holster, but after the response from Craft, telling me I’m required to pay a 25% restocking fee and never offering to get me a holster which would fit my weapon, I am totally disgusted with the Company of Craft Holsters!!! Craft Holsters has lost a paying customer and I will be sure to pass this lesson onto as many people as possible!!!!! Stay away from cheap holsters like this thing sent to me by Craft Holsters!!!! It’s obvious they made a better holster for their ads to get you to order from them. The holster you get IS NOT WHAT YOU SEE PICTURED IN THE ADVERTISEMENT!!!!! Craft Holsters, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES!!!!! Sincerely, Terry
