I own several DeSantis leather holsters - all great quality. However, this holster is for a Walther PPQ 45cal with a 12 round mag - a tall, top-heavy gun. The holster design causes this gun to sit high above the belt which results in the grip tipping away from the body even in the canted position (worse in the level position) despite a wide, heavy duty, leather belt. I have the same issue with my DeSantis leather holster for a full size Beretta PX4 45 cal. The holster design needs to allow the gun to sit lower on the hip so that the gun stays firmly against the body. My solution is to use a nylon belt run inside-out so that it wraps on the outside of the holster, holding the body of the gun against my side, rather than relying on the narrow belt loops for tension. DeSantis is my go-to but I wish they put more time into considering balance as well as gun fit.

I purchased Talley scope bases and rings for a new X-Bolt 300 WM based on Browning's recommendation. The mounts seem to tighten up well to the gun but the rings can be moved left to right 1/8 inch when setting the scope. Unfortunately I did not realize how much these rings loosened after only a couple rounds so I assumed my mid-range quality scope was the problem. Hundreds of dollars and a new scope later, I realized the rings would move no matter how much you torque the SINGLE screws (maybe that is the problem). I have resorted to checking the screws after every shot or two. This product gets two stars only because the rings are steel - otherwise, the score would be even lower. Extremely disappointed given the cost of this setup.
