Got this in the mail,
High Noon Holsters new hybrid holster, this one is the Close Encounter. Nice they included the sticker. The pattern is called Highlander, and the strap is embossed sharkskin. The molding on the back is very good - almost looks like one of thoe illusion pictures; "Is the gun in a holster, or is it painted brown laying on a flat sheet of leather?"
Rides quite well.
It's going to get field tested for the next couple of days. I've never had a Kydex holster, so this ought to be interesting. The Kydex itself is leather lined inside, also quite nice. BTW, this really was a gift, very cool.

I do too. I'm not much into holsters (In California, what's the point? :cuss:), but it looks nice!
That's a good point!

Which is (one of) the exact reason that I dislike hybrid holsters...with one side being flat and not molding to the gun, it is impossible to get proper retention on your pistol. Even in what I consider to be the best hybrid holster on the market, the Comp-Tac Minotaur, the retention (even with the retention screws fully tightened) absolutely sucks. Even though it's a very "comfortable" holster, it isn't very "comforting". As a result, it only gets worn when I have to have something that is tuckable.
This works better than pictures, I think.
Same as my knife sheath......I want a "f#(% you" level of retention. I want to be able to stick a fully loaded gun in the holster, turn it upside down, shake the piss out of it, and the gun (or knife) not come out of the holster.
Nice video - I liked the credits!
Looks like it works very well, which I would attribute to the leather being molded to the gun, rather than just smooth like most other hybrids on the market.
Agree. The one I have for my M&P, I had to relieve the kydex a bit, so I could draw with my belt tightened.
Me too!!!!!!!!!!!:agree:
That.......ain't comfort to me.
