    Well made but tight retention

    I'm going to have to play around with some more but right out of the box my biggest issue is once you cinch down your belt to a comfortable position the retention is very tight and cannot be adjusted.
    This makes drawing the gun difficult as sticks and does not come out quickly

    Thanks for the honest feedback—we really appreciate you sharing your first impressions. All of our holsters are designed with adjustable retention, so you can fine-tune the draw to exactly how you like it—no break-in period required. If you're having trouble getting it just right, our team is here to help. Shoot us a message at sales@blackarchholsters.com and we’ll make sure everything is dialed in perfectly.
