Fobus Holsters
« on: July 30, 2009, 05:08:35 AM »
Does anybody have any experience with these?  I'm looking for information regarding gun retention, concealability, comfort, etc.

Your better off to get a Blackhawk Serpa holster.  Nether are the easiest to conceal but the Fobus holsters have no retention ability, but make a good range holster

I have a couple of the paddle type for my guns. Simple, light weight and they do have a built in retention to keep the gun in place. Price is right. My primary holster is the Crossbreed Super Tuck though.

I have a Fobus paddle holster for my J-frame I love it. The holster is molded so that only on the proper draw angle can the gun be removed from the holster. Pulling it at any other angle will result in trying to remove the holster from your waist band. The retention is very good. And the price is very good.

The ones I know of have rivets.  A nice snappy jerk and the bad guy has your weapon....not that you are going to let him get that close, of course.  Something to consider when looking at various models if you have open carry or are an LEO.

Blackhawk Serpa holster
Guess it was already mentioned. And it comes with the paddle and the belt attachment so you have a choice.

In their category (moderate to low price and no retention other than fit/friction), they are good holsters, but they are not exceptional in any way except maybe "value".  When you look at the price difference between a "decent" holster and a "good" holster, I don't think Value is the right factor to base your carry holster selection on.

I have Fobus Revolution paddle. Comfortable to wear. Retention of the full size MP9 is good. Don't expect to win quick draw contest, though. Don't worry about durability, any holster could be destroyed if you put your mind to it. ;)

Another vote for the Blackhawk Sepra. It's a Fobus + with the release button and choice of belt or paddle.
