Most Helpful Positive Review Top Quality Holster for Shield
Perfect Fit for the SW Shield. Thumb break qualifies as being encased for storage in most states. Very high quality workmanship and materials. Fits very nicely for concealed carry with untucked shirt. Rides fairly high above belt and stays close to body. Very comfortable. I own four DeSantis ho...

Most Helpful Negative Review Uncomfortable Fit
The holster tends not to wrap the body close, and it positions the firearm way too high on the hip. I have a Shelby holster that I struck luck with a year ago, and as simple as it is for an outside holster; the thing leaves no print even in Tshirts, and its a very comfortable fit and position.

DeSantis is excellent overall, and this model is perfect

by Todd Beck, Verified Owner from ID, United States Written on October 30, 2020
I buy these holsters as gifts for people because they're so well-constructed and comfortable. I think I've given away 5 of them now. The thumb break is easy to use. The leather wears-in quickly just by leaving a gun inside for a few days. And for an OWB holster it's very comfortable. Best of all it's discreet. It hugs up tight and doesn't print. If you buy one for yourself you'll become a brand champion for DeSantis.
Pros:
  • Price
  • Comfort
  • Concealabiltiy and retention
Cons:
  • Availability (right now, as with all gun accessories)
Would recommend: Yes

I like the brown verse black, but that's a personal choose.

S&W Model 60 HIVIZ 3"

by atomicsmurf, from FL, United States Written on July 12, 2018
After contacting Desantis I bought this holster for the S&W Model 63 22lr 3inch barrel and it fits perfectly.
Top notch leather and stitching. It's a tight fit, but if you warp your pistol in a zip loc and leave in overnight or a few days the leather starts to form to the gun. Also the retention strap was really hard to over the hammer. After working with it, it is starting to stretch and make the snap easier to engage. I put a piece of webbing between the retention strap and the hammer just to give it a little more stretch and it seems to be working.
Holster hugs the body nice. Doesn't print much under a shirt.
Overall excellent product. USA made. Two thumbs up!

Nice Leather

by John, from MS, United States Written on February 21, 2018
Excellent holster. If it were lined I would give 5 stars. This holster rides close to the body. I like the thumb break release for the added security that it provides the wearer. I much prefer a leather holster as the new polymer types just don't feel like I think they should.
Pros:
  • cost
Cons:
  • Unlined
Best Used for:
  • Concealment

Works like a charm

by Bird watcher, from CA, United States Written on January 24, 2018
Well made adjustable holds well. Bought for a 9 mm shield and could not be happier. Fit and finish are superb leather stiff but breaks in easy. Really liked the tension screw. Nice to have upright or canted option gives you choices depending how you want to carry. Very versatile
Pros:
  • Well made versatile
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • concealed carry
  • Conceal Carry

holster review

by eaglefromny, from AL, United States Written on December 13, 2017
This is exactly what I was looking for. It's somewhat difficult to find a holster for a 3" N-Frame S and W This fits perfectly and is exceptionally well made Highly recommended! I wear this when I'm out driving or in the woods The N-Frame is hefty, but this holster rides high and the weight is extremely manageable.

Pros:
  • Price, Contruction, Appearance, Function
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • Concealed Carry
