  • just received my 3slot pancake holster, lefty by the way, and very impressed with the quality, and goes well with the gun belt that was my last purchase . both my glock 30 and my 17 fit the same holster. I highly recommend not to shy away from the scratch and blemish deals, not a mark on the belt or holster and saved a bunch, thanks again Relentless

  • I just purchase this holster, "Relentless Tactical Ultimate Leather Holster 2 Slot OWB | Made in USA | Fits Most 1911 Style Handguns | Kimber – Colt – S & W – Sig Sauer – Remington-CZ75 SP01 Tactical . It was for my CZ75 SP01 Tactical. I love this gun and found the perfect holster for it. It is the best quality money can buy, best fit and really looks good. I am totally happy. Also happy that it was made in the USA! Big thumbs up!

  • I have a Relentless holster that carries my S&W 642 beautifully (IWB). I can also carry the newer Kimber K6s with a 3" barrel in it, but just barely; if I push just a little, the very end of the barrel protrudes through the bottom. Any suggestions about another Relentless IWB holster that might accommodate the longer barrel of this Kimber better?
