I have purchased many of these holsters for myself and family members to be used for daily carry or for a holster to have for back up, car, and bug-out bag guns. The inexpensive cost makes it possible for me to have a good holster for every auto pistol I own.

The holster has a slight forward cant, and works very well in the 3 and 4 o'clock positions, as well as appendix. In a pinch I have used these with small pistols in the crossdraw position, although the cant is not ideal for that. The versatility of this holster makes it a very good choice if you have a pistol that the major holster manufacturers have ignored, and the cost is so low that it is a good option even if your sidearm is common as dirt. I have used these very happily with full-sized and compact 1911's, blocky Ruger .45 and 9mm pistols, the S&W Sigma in .40, the Steyr M40-A1, the Kahr PM45, and others.
