I have to use a "substantial" amount of force to remove my G2 Contender with synthetic fore-end from the holster. The snap on the retention strap is very loud when undone which may hamper stealthful removal during a hunting situation. I find that there is generally adequate gripping of the gun with out the strap in place. The case material of the holster itself is heavy duty protection for your pistol. I am satisfied with my purchase.
Pros: Great Protection
Cons: Extreme friction when using polymer/synthetic forend.
