I have no problems with it. Feels very secure
Overall - I LOVE this holster. The fit is great for my Glock 17 with extended, ported barrel, Holosun 509T and Streamlight TLR-HL. The draw is smooth with a natural thumb release. You do need to give a full press down to ensure the optic hood fully opens to clear the RDS.
The one issue I had was the extended magazine release on my Glock. The extended mag release would hit the edge of the holster if you applied any inward pressure to the butt of the grip (such as getting in and out of a patrol vehicle). Inward pressure on the butt would push the mag release into the holster and release the magazine. It fell out twice while I was getting out of my vehicle. I tried 3 different Glocks with 3 different extended magazine releases and they all hit the edge of the holster. I had to notch the holster to ensure the release no longer would touch the holster. No problems since notching.
Great fit, comfortable and excellent quality. I highly recommend this holster.
Best holster on the market. No need to second guess. This thing puts my Safari land holsters to shame.
Quality is amazing, best duty holster made
