Made in USA - Suede Leather IWB Holster | Fits Glock 17 19 19X 22 26 43 43X 45 | Taurus GC3 | S&W M&P Shield | Canik TP9 Elite | Sig P229 | Plus Similar Sized Handguns | The Ultimate Suede IWB Holster

I was using this brand of holster in the leather version (I believe it's called the defender). I used it on my old Shield 9mm and recently purchased the shield plus. I appreciate the fact that the same holster works for both guns and started to carry my new shield plus on the older leather holster and purchased this suede version for my old shield to be used as a backup. The suede version does not disappoint. What I mostly like about the relentless tactical IWB holsters is the fact that it doesn't collapse on itself when there is no gun in it. The only other alternative to it (as far as I know) is the kydex holders (which I hate, cause it has absolutely no give). Anyway, I'm just as happy with the suede version as I was with the leather version and the suede is a lot cheaper, although it doesn't look quite as nice as the leather. So, if you're looking for a nicer look, pay the extra money and go with leather, but if you're looking for value and the best bang for your buck, get this suede holster. Either way, in my personal opinion, you can't beat the quality in IWB holsters that are either leather or suede than relentless tactical.

Well made and comfortable. Sueded leather sticks to your shirt and helps prevent pants slipping. Best of all: MADE IN THE USA!

By introduction, I'm an instructor and I wear a handgun regularly. But not always the same gun or holster because I test out a variety of rigs so I can relate my experiences to my concealed carry classes. Hence, I have the "Big Box of Holsters". Today I tested a new holster, from Hyperion Enterprises, for a Springfield XDS .45cal 3.3" barrel. This holster is an IWB holster in suede, which makes it somewhat unusual -- and the reason I decided to give it a try.I need to be honest and say that IWB holsters that do not completely cover all parts of the gun relative to my body are not my favorites, but holsters that do 100% coverage are hard to find and bulky when you do find them. So I'm often forced to use a holster that has some skin contact. I do not regularly wear both an undershirt and an outer shirt; if I did then skin contact would not be a problem. I also prefer tuckable holsters since I prefer to tuck in my shirt rather than leave it out. Now in the warmer months (I'm in the Midwest) then I am more likely to accept wearing a shirt untucked which gives me the opportunity to wear non-tuckable holsters like this one.Which brings me to the Relentless by Hyperion. In the process of looking for the Best Possible IWB Holster I discovered this product, one of the buttload of holsters out there that I have not yet tried. So far I have worn it about 4 hours, but I am pleased with the results. Not being a tuckable I wore this with shirt out, black, of course, to avoid printing, and went to dinner and shopping. Apart from the fact that I don't like any gun parts touching my skin (which is not the fault of this holster) I was very pleased with the results, and can honestly say this is now my #1 holster for XDS IWB carry. I like the suede, which is not as hard on the skin as a finished leather, and the fact that this holster is quite thin for leather. Of course, that may translate to a shorter lifespan -- that I don't know and won't know for a long time, but it seems very sturdy yet flexible. It conforms to the gun and my body very well, and was surprisingly COOL to the skin! I wore it in the 4:00 position with a medium tight polo shirt and there was very little printing at all. If you didn't know about printing you'd probably not spot it. (I'm 5' 10" 180 lbs to give you an idea of body type.) The butt of the gun laid nicely against my back no matter how I twisted and turned. That scores Big Points here in gun-friendly Illinois.Like all holsters of this design it is hard to re-holster because the opening is not reinforced. Again, not a fault of the manufacturer -- it is just how this design comes together. But fortunately re-holstering usually doesn't need to be done fast. At home I practiced a few draws and it was on a par with similar holsters. Not as fast as my OWB holsters of course, but IWB never is.To summarize, this is a very nice holster, worthy of the price, and I will recommend it to others. Pros: the suede is thin and conformal and comfortable, and actually feels cool on a warm day, which is a huge plus. Cons: none, really, that are not attributable to this type of design. Improvements: if this was a tuckable with some extra material as a skin guard it would be an unbeatable holster. Oh, and it also fits my Ruger SR40c, so it was like getting two holsters for the price of one. (I suspect it would fit other similar firearms.) A nice purchase, this one will be in my closet instead of relegated to the BBoH. Good job, Hyperion!Note: I was not supplied with this holster -- it is an outright purchase and neither Hyperion nor Amazon has rewarded me for this review.

I have had my concealed carry license for a few years now. For the longest time I carried it on my hip OWB but decided I wanted a more concealed carry so I decided to go with appendix since my shoulders are bad and I can't quickly reach the middle of my back. I tried several different holster options but when I got this one I stopped looking. It fits my G2 perfectly and the only way I know it's there is when I take it off for bed. Highly recommend.

I've had this holster for a few months now and I've worn it every time I've carried (pretty much everyday for several hours at a time). This was my first IWB holster as I've always thought they would be uncomfortable and impractical. I own several CQC holsters from BlackHawk and Safariland. I prefer holsters with some form of retention just as a precaution.With that said, I doubt I will be using any of my other holsters after using this one. It fits my HK VP9 as well as my SIG P220 very well and firmly. I primarily carry my VP9 and with this holster I barely notice it's on my hip. I have never felt any discomfort from wearing this holster with my VP9 even after having it on for several hours. I've worn it to the range and out to various events where I was walking/standing for hours. Driving or sitting for any amount of time has yielded no discomfort as well.The belt clip is solid. It wont fit battle belts (really no reason to have a IWB on one anyways) But fits my leather everyday belt and is tight on my 511 TDU belt. It would take a lot to bend or break the belt clip.The leather is comfortable and molds to my VP9 nicely. The only downside is it doesn't cover the entire slide so the barrel and front part of the slide gets scratched up a bit when I wear jeans. Not really a big deal though.I've read reviews about how the holster doesn't keep the weapon secure. First: there is clearly no retention on this holster. It does stay firmly in the holster when placed in the waistband with the clip over a belt. I haven't worn it without a belt so I can't assume it's as firmly fit in that case. I guess that would depend on how loosely an individual wears their pants. Second: I have only used it with My VP9 and SIG P220 (both full size weapons) and can say that the fit has always been firm and tight. I placed my wife's Ruger SR22 in the holster just to see how small I could go with it and it seemed to fit that gun nicely. I don't see this holster not fitting to many weapons.On the issue with re-holstering: any person who knows anything about self defense knows that if for any reason you have to draw your weapon, the amount of time it takes to re-holster it is irrelevant. I have absolutely no issue with re-holstering my VP9. Yes it may take 2 hands to do it but in my experience, after practicing (which is what you should do with any holster you use), with my VP9 it takes no longer to holster my weapon than it would with an OWB holster. Literally a second to two seconds. Again, this is my experience with my VP9 but I feel strongly that it would be the same with my SIG P220.All in all I really like this holster. I'm extremely pleased with it and feel that it was and still is a great investment.

Better than any IWB holster on the market. Exactly what I was looking for.

Excellent quality, well-made!
