Buy the holster, add thread lock to all the screws
This holster is comfortable, and my weapon is secure. You can easily adjust the tension on your handgun, and the belt clip has 3 positions (high, low, cant) to customize your carry. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the screws keep falling out. The first time I figured it was a fluke, and I somehow stumbled upon the screw on my job site. After the second time (again stumbled upon the screw on another job site) I pulled the four screws off the main body and added thread lock to them, but I didn’t think about putting thread lock on the screw that holds the rubber piece on the end of the claw and now that’s gone.Edit: after 3 1/2 years of service the holster broke right next to the claw. The tension of my belt and the shape of the holster still hold the gun for now, but not as tight as I’d like it to be. I also had to replace the steel screws and post nuts about 6 months ago because they had become so corroded from 3 years of sweat. Find some stainless steel post nuts and screws if you can.

FD Holster Rock...but...
I have other FD holsters and they’re amazing! This one isn’t great. With some minor tweaking with a dremel it would be better. The holster rides up too far in some places to make getting a decent grip tough. The claw does get in the way, but is removable. Taking it off made me realize I like the claw more for concealment. So some compromise has to be made.Once the claw was off, no matter what I did, I couldn’t get retention tight enough to comfortably hold the gun in place.Overall though, this holster brand is some of the highest quality I’ve used. You might need to tweak this one out a bit.

Probably what you are looking for.
I got this for my p365 with thumb safety. This is meant for the regular p365. However, it fits the p365 with a safety like a glove. When the safety is off, it’s a perfect fit. When the safety lever is up/engaged, it barely touches the kydex (not even enough to scratch it). It draws perfectly. If you are really picky about this, you can simply Dremel down some of the kydex, but it’s not necessary.People complain about the space between the claw and the pistol grip being to short. Yes, it’s a tight fit, but it does not really interfere with the draw or grip. I have wide and large hands and I can get a great grip right from the draw. It’s a small gun, that fits in a small holster and really just disappears. That’s the point and purpose, and that mission has been completed by this holster. You won’t find a holster like this for under $60, so this holster is perfect for the price and overall performance.

Good Holster without a positive grip engagement
If you have adult male hands and are not of the type who would wear some skinny jeans, you will not be able to get a positive grip on drawing a weapon, in this case, the Sig P365 from the holster. It would force you to fingertip the grip of the pistol and then force a re-adjust of your grip after you clear the holster. Because this is a no go for many, should be all, armed persons Iw ould skip this until they look into the space between the top of the claw and the grip of the pistol they made this for. It is a good holster as far as retention goes, but the claw clearance to the grip is a no go for me.Update: 10/23/2019 Out of all the holsters, this one is the best for the price, if you see my second image attached for this holster, I have gone ahead and cut the claw just above the fastener to allow for my ring finger to get full purchase on the pistol while drawing. The company should have a look at this as it is required if you have a hand larger than a child's. Mod the claw location, please.

BAD FIT
I love FDO holsters typically. have them for 4 other firearms. The 365 holster is awful. You can't fit your finger in between the claw and pistol grip. This style claw works better for a larger gun. ended up returning it.

packaged nicely
Don't want to give a unhonest review, so all im going say is that this came nicely packaged. My firearm fits snug. Will do a review after one month

Holds pistol, difficult to grab
The holster works very well. It is comfortable to wear, holds the pistol very snugly, and is both simple and easy to take off and put on. My biggest complaint is that the plastic wing attached to the side tends to get in the way of actually grabbing onto the pistol when you want to draw. I always got holsters with wings on them whenever I would carry appendix, but they would never get in the way of grabbing onto the pistol like this one does. Other than that, I am very happy with it, though.
