This is my 3rd purchase of a yaqui slide holster. One for my sub compacts, one for my compacts and full sizes and one for my compacts and full sizes with large trigger guards. They are all paddles. I like the minimalist size.They are easy on and off and very comfortable to wear with any of my pistols.The so called problem with the front sight getting caught on the lower lip while drawing has not been an issue for me.I am not saying it has not been an issue for other people, only me.Two of my slides are Galcos and one is a Desantis.The Quality of the materials and the construction are both excellent on all of them. The paddle will hold the firearm very close to you body but you will have to wear a proper gun belt.With the proper gun belt the retention of the holster on your body is very good.The only modification I made on each of them was on the Paddles. I found that the plastic part of the paddle that rests on your skin was a little irritating sometimes. I contact cemented a 3mm thick piece of good quality leather to the paddle, smooth side to the skin.A real easy job if you take your time and trim it flush to the edge of the paddle.This made the holster perfect for me.

It's really a pleasure to buy a product that does exactly what it was advertised to do.The Magazines from my Beretta 92FS compact (Double stack 9mm)fit perfectly in either direction.The belt snaps are slightly tough to engage when putting the pouch on when you are wearing your belt but better a little tight than to loose.
The leather is nicely finished and personally I like the leather look better than the hunk of plastic look but I'm getting to be an old curmudgeon so please excuse me.
