To be honest, when it comes to holsters I have two go-to options.
Rigid Kydex for OWB, and a combination of leather and Kydex for IWB.
However, once I gave it a try, I must say I was pleasantly surprised.
So, what say we jump into this to find out why?
How I Carry
When I carry a firearm, Im always holstered at the 4 o-clock position.
Its where Im the most comfortable.
I never carry appendix because, well, Im an old and slightly chubby guy.
So, I removed my everyday holster and put the Remora 2-in-1 Holster in its place.
It actually felt very comfortable.
So, I moved it about and to my surprise, the appendix position also felt comfortable.
Obviously, in pocket carry mode it would need to be selected for smaller firearms.
One thing that jumped out at me was the belt clip.
Its held in place by a snap.
My concern was the unused snap was going to rub and irritate me.
That wasnt the case.
Your Way
What about options?
After youve chosen your brand and model, you have options for lights, lasers and even an RMR.
Also, there is sweat shield option, something I do recommend to help keep sweat off your firearm.
Finally, you have an option of liners, such as black, blue, pink or camo.
Some of the holsters on the site do have an option for exterior color as well.
Also included with this combo package was an extra magazine pouch.
It holds the magazine very firmly and sits down low on the beltline, making it comfortable.
The pouchs belt clip locks onto a standard inch and a half belt, holding it securely in place.
This allows for the spare magazine to be removed with little effort.
Hands-On
Overall, I would give this holster a high rating.
My only wish was if the firearm would sit a little deeper in the waistband.
Also, the quality of the manufacturing is higher than other holsters in this price range.
One option I wish Remora holsters offered would be active retention to make it a level II holster.
This really only comes into play if youre not actively concealing your firearm under clothing.
A simple strap over the firearm with a snap would be a great future addition.
Being a soft material along with the liner, drawing the firearm is also very quiet.
Finally, returning the firearm to the holster is nearly effortless and silent.
Other holsters Ive used can be a struggle getting the firearm in place.
Even with the few issues I had with it, the positives far outweigh the small negatives.
Because of this, I do recommend giving Remora Holsters a close look.
