Fierce Defender IWB Kydex Holster Compatible with Glock 19 23 32 -The Paladin Series -Made in USA- GEN 5 Compatible

This is a great holster for the price. I carry appendix and it conceals very well for me. I'm 5'11" at 180lbs, athletic built. The claw is effective once placed on the reverse side of the holster, as others have stated. It pulls the grip snug to the body, while still allowing a great and consistent draw (with practice). The only reason I gave it 4 stars was due to the point/sharp cut of the holster near the muzzle. As I wore it through out the day, I found it becoming uncomfortable to sit as that portion of the holster would dig into my pelvic area. So my solution to end the discomfort was to sand it down to a curve (like all the other great holsters I own). Amazing what shaving off a couple centimeters can do! NOW I have a 5 star holster!! You can see the difference before and after in the pics I've provided. Overall, I like the holster a lot. It's more than what I was expecting it to be, but for the $40.00 I paid, the 3 mins it took me to make it comfortable wasn't too bad. This is just my take on this holster.....

I ordered this holster thinking that I was going to have to fix the issues others had reported. Like sanding the pointy part on the bottom and moving the claw to the other side. I am happy to announce that both of those issues had been corrected. As far as fit is concerned it hugs my Glock 19x as expected. Overall very happy with my purchase.

This is a super holster. Has a feel of quality and that you got your money’s worth. Appears very well made, looks great, holds Glock 19 Gen 5 securely - and good retention. All edges smoothed and or blended, clip side upper is slightly flared for easier insertion. Body side of holster extends exactly to rear end of slide. Wears great too, the holstered weapon just seems to melt away under your waistband down to the pistol grip and rides there fine without needing to over-tighten the belt. The claw seems to pivot the pistol butt inward slightly, helping to blend it in and reduce printing. Cool feature. No problem when sitting and driving either. Belt clip is aggressive but easy to manipulate. Easy to draw. There appears to be room for a higher profile front sight and the muzzle end is completely open. This will be my go-to holster for when OWB isn’t appropriate. I also like the FDE - while it is buried and out of sight when being worn, it is still nice to have a color other than black. Very happy with this holster, I am going to see what other pistols this holster will fit and may get another. Thanks!!

I’ve spent hundreds of dollars in holsters from well known companies and tried many different styles of carrying from appendix to side to back carry. I have three custom made kydex holsters that took 4 months to be made and ship, all costing well over 100 bucks. TAKE MY ADVICE... if you buy a holster that accommodates an extra magazine and a large light you will look cool on social media but you will not carry your gun long term. This is a fantastic and minimalistic option for people who are serious about carrying a gun every day, not just a poser on Instagram. That being said there are a few things I would change. The claw is great for concealability, but it’s not practical or ergonomic. The rough texture on it also tore up the inside of my jeans and my belt. It also made it more difficult to take the gun in and out of my waistband which is a minor inconvenience. When I opted to take off the claw and use the holster by itself I had to switch out the hardware with one of my other holsters because it would not get the proper retention I wanted without the claw. Lastly, instead of using 4 different holes to adjust the cant of the weapon, they need to make a cut in the holster and use different adjustable hardware so that this holster can be quickly changed for different carrying positions. There are so many other options that could be used nowadays but no kydex holster manufacturers take advantage of them. Other than that I love it and will be carrying/testing this holster for the next few months.

So I had high hopes on this due to someone stating it was a perfect fit for the P80 glock 19. It was so tight that I couldn't get it out of the holster once I managed to get it in. I disassembled it to get it out and then tried heating it up to form it around my P80 but then screwed it up. It's a durable, useful product and would've been great, but not for P80 frames.

I was very surprised of the quality of this holster based off of the pricepoint. This is by far the best ~$50 IWB holster I have seen.My 19 fits perfect and the trigger is entirely covered. Unless I am wearing a smaller shirt I rarely print standing or sitting.I have not had to adjust anything out of the box but appreciate the options there. I havnt put lock tight on yet (havnt needed to) but could see some loosening over time if drawn frequently.Hardware (clip, arm, screws, and housing) are great quality and I have not seen any loss in function or appearance.

The claw makes it a really good value. I wish they would've included or pre locktited the screws. The fitment is really good. I've had it for a few months and the hardware is starting to rust. Should've used stainless hardware, but for the price what do you expect. Nothing a little oil can't fix. The clip works well and I haven't had any issues. Retention is adjustable and works great. Trigger is well protected and there is no gap for clothing to get into.

After many more expensive holsters from companies like Vedder, RCS, and Bravo (All quality as well, just not perfect concealment for my body type), I finally found a holster that lets me carry IWB at 3 O Clock without too much bulk on the belt with the grip tucked against my body. The full claw bows your belt out too much but if you simply remove the claw itself but leave the claw arm, it’s the perfect amount of “push” to keep the Glock grip in tight without a bulge on your belt. Wasn’t expecting the perfect holster but that’s what I got (for my body type).
