Blade-Tech Total Eclipse Holster - OWB Concealed Carry Holster

This a very excellent holster. Made from nice sturdy polymer. The ambidextrous sweat guard is thin which in my opinion it should be, seems flimsy but anything that is extremely firm would be overkill and poke into the side. This holster comes with 3 types of attachments the standard, FBI Cant, and the IWB attachments. I have yet to try the IWB but the FBI cant attachments I am not a fan of as they are not molded inward to make the holster hug the body like the standard attachemnts. That being said, with a good belt (I currently run this with the eclipse double stack single mag with a bullhide belt with polymer insert from The Beltman) and this will hug the body tightly, there is no wiggle and no movement in either the holster nor the mag pouch. I have worn this with the standard OWB attachment since purchase with my shirt tucked in and covering it and it is very comfortable and with my shirt over it you cannot even see it, it is as if I was running an IWB. With this holster I bought it for my Glock 19, but I can use it for my Glock 26 as well. This holster has a nice positive "click" when inserting your firearm and retention is great. I hope that Blade-Tech comes out with this same holster but with a nice thumb break. (1st pic is with my G26, the next 2 are of the G19)

Great holster! Bought one for my P320, and one for the wife’s Glock 19. Craftsmanship, retention, and adjustability are top notch. I love that I can convert from OWB to IWB.Comfort is just okay. It’s fine when standing, but can dig into my side while sitting or driving. This is going to be an issue with any Kydex holster, though, and is not a problem specific to Blade Tech.Since you must remove your belt to get this holster on or off, you do need to be ready for some discomfort.

The holster is intended for civilian concealed carry users. It has a modular design with a two piece kydex body and a kit containing two pairs of belt loops and a pair of belt hooks along with mounting hardware. You can configure it as straight OWB, FBI cant OWB, or straight IWB. It can be worn on the left and on the right.The construction quality is superb. Every part fits, hardware is high quality. The kydex is thin, but does the job well. It is light but solid.The retention is controlled by a screw next to the trigger guard. The gun locks in with a distinctive click - excellent.Concealment. I expect to be able to wear a good IWB under a thin t-shirt, 2 or 3 o'clock position works best for me. I don't like 4 and 5 because guns start to print as soon as you bend forward, also not good for driving. This holster is decent, but not as good as DeSantis leather IWB. The latter has very significant cant, which helps tuck in the bottom grip and mag's floorplate. Both keep the gun tight to your body. I like that Eclipse has the belt hooks away from the holster body, this minimizes the bulge on the belt and does not print. I would rate it 3 out of 5 for concealment. If I figure out how to set it up with a lot of cant in IWB mode, it will likely score 5 out of 5. Note, it is not tuckable, i.e. you will not be able to wear it with a dress shirt tucked in.In OWB mode you need a heavier covering garment to hide it, as expected, no complaints.Warnings:1. Tighten the screws really well and/or use some blue loctite. They can become loose.2. If you wear in IWB mode at 2-2:30 position the bottom of the front hook may dig into your leg when sitting.The Total Eclipse holster gives you versatility and options. It is an excellent OWB for EDC in winter and converts to a decent IWB for the summer. You can remove the belt loops from the body and mount it in your car or on your LBE. It is a good, quality product.

I think I've found my new favorite holster! With winter coming I've been looking for an OWB carry option that is compact and fairly comfortable. I've been hearing a lot of good comments about the Blade-Tech total eclipse so I decide to give it a try. The build quality is much better than expected and holds my 226 snug against my body allowing for easy concealment with no noticeable printing. The pistol does slightly dig into my side while driving around but not is not unbearable. If your going to carry, especially concealed, there will alway be a certain level of discomfort. After the short time of using the holster around the house and running errands I'm very impressed with the weight disbursement, feel of the holster while walking around and the ease of concealment.The retention seems more than adequate and is easily adjusted. I've tried several different holsters including BlackHawk and Safariland and none of them have been near as compact is this system and left an obvious bulge even when wearing a suit jacket.Time will tell overall, but so far its the best option I've tried and highly recommend it! I ordered the mag holders as well, can't wait to give them a try.

wow, this holster fits my full size m&p perfectly. good retention with the audible "click" upon reholstering. I thought that the two high sides would be a problem for getting the m&p back in, but it is a non-issue. I have mine set up as an iwb and it holds the full size pistol right up close and is the most concealable holster I own for this particular firearm. i have an asob holster for it that i really like, but if i need concealability, this holster wins hands down. i have not yet tried it owb. also, blue threadlocker is provided. i thought I'd forego that so that i could try out the iwb first, but after a half day of carry i almost lost 3 screws. i ended up using purple Loctite (which is the recommended version for anything smaller than 1/4") and it has held up well for a week. i like this one already enough to give it all 5 stars. and the icing on the cake? the price!
