So far I'm happy with this holster. I've been wearing more sweatpants since I got it. I can see my self taking light jogs with it but I'm still a little concern that my firearm may fall since there's nothing in place to prevent it from falling out. It has multiple hidden compartments for extra magazines and wallet. I really like how it's well built. If there was maybe a Velcro strap to hold down the firearm it would probably be better but then again it's easy to access and draw if needed to. I CCW the same firearm in the picture, a Ruger LC9s. Anything bigger than that may not hold as well, feels like anything within that size range is ideal for this holster! I love having multiple alternatives to CCW so this is a must, specially for sweats and shorts!!!

I have used this system when running in gym shorts and in everyday use with Jeans. It definitely cuts down on the bulk of having multiple holsters for your firearm and mags. The best part is that you can fit a variety of different firearms in the cut-outs. This system holds my firearm much better than I had originally anticipated. The value is great when you consider how much you would spend to carry 1 firearm and 2 mags in another configuration. You can even fit in a flashlight, keys, pocket knife or anything else you don't have pockets for if need be. It never hurts to have multiple carry options for your preferred firearm.

This works great under 90% of situations. I had hoped it would take a small pistol with a light attached, but it doesn’t like attachments.

And I wouldn’t suggest using a large frame with this for sure. The grip protrudes quite a bit.

Otherwise, it’s a useful little tool.

A little hot but beats an iwb holster or carrying in my purse. Summer is challenging as a female with a ccw. I am small framed so it is hard enough to not print in the winter in Cali, let lone Summer. This works...if I wear a looser fitting top, there's no distinct print.

I don’t have to worry about wearing jeans and a belt with my other concealment holsters. I can go out in shorts or sweats and still safely and securely carry without brandishing or worrying that I’m not concealed properly.

Was worried a small was not the correct size for 32" waist but low and behold.....it fits fine!! Much more concealed then my in-the-pants holster for my bodyguard.

Just wasn’t a good fit feel-wise for me. Not necessarily a bad product it may be perfect for some people, just not for me. It’s worth a shot for the price though.

This holds my glock 26 and 2 extra clips perfectly. I carry concealed under a tshirt while doing my evening run, and my pistol is more secure than I expected.

This system is great, I wear a lot of shorts and it conceals very well without the need for a belt.
