I wanted to do a short review of this holster made by Ebay user robbf213.I was searching for x300 lights and his holsters came up. I contacted him with questions and here we are. I know a lot of people make there own kydex stuff but im just not that creative. Ill start by saying that at the moment Rob is just making holsters for glocks with and without the x300. Let me say that his communication was excellent as i had some requests to customize the holster for my setup. Let me also state that im an avid civilian shooter make no claim to be an expert in any way. I only have experience with a few other holsters. First off as soon as i opened it i loved the shape and design. The attention to detail on all the curves leaves nothing to be desired.

The quality is superb as far as i can tell.

The edges are all smoothed out and clean.

I asked him to make it with 2" belt loops. Some companies dont offer this.

The hardware is all well place and seem to be of good quality. Once i found where i like it on my hip i loctited the screws as is the norm.

The fit of the weapon is awesome and of course the most important thing. It retains very well and draws very well. I was previously using and itac defense (no light) and have had experience with Blade tech. I do want to mention that my purpose for this holster is not to conceal but i believe it will do it very well.

It rides higher than the blade tech and i tac. The change is welcome and awesome. It fits snug to your body and feels very natural. Tomorrow ill put it into action but ive been drawing all day and night to wear it in and i can tell it will be my holster for a long time.

This shows the height difference against the blade tech.

Ignore my baby.
I wish i could compare this to a raven but i have no experience with them. I believe that these are made with the same intent. I cant attest to longevity as i just got it but it seems rugged and well made. All in all i think anyone looking for a kydex raven style holster will not be disappointed with this system. Did i mention i had this just a few short days after i bought it and it was $55.00 shipped. That was the whopper right there. Made in Texas by an American. Affordable good quality. That's something i can get behind. I wish i had some criticism but i cant find anything i would like different so far. I forgot to mention that re-holstering is very easy without having to look which is a big plus for me.
