IWB Appendix Carry Kydex Right/Left Hand Gun Holster Compatible with Springfield Armory Hellcat with Magazine Holder, Open Bottom, Optic Cut, Adjustable Retention

The good: Inexpensive by comparison to some other AIWB holsters. Clips don't have conspicuous tacti-cool branding. The leather bit helps the holster move comfortably.The bad: Magazine holster has ZERO retention. If you bend over, the mag falls out. Faff with your cover-garment, the mag falls out. Lie down on the ground- believe it or not- the mag falls out. This can be remedied by adding a few strips of electrical tap, but that's pretty janky. The mag for a springfield hellcat also sits super low, leaving only the base plate or extensions available to grab. This makes indexing the mag a little less intuitive.The holster for the firearm itself has *slightly* more retention, once you really crank down on the screws and tighten them as much as the rubber bushings allow- it'll retain the gun so it won't fall out when running, doing burpees or other mild movement, but it's not exactly confidence inspiring.Bottom line- if you're a cheapska-I mean "frugal" guy, this will do. It's safe once you tighten down the firearm side of the holster and if you cared about being comfortable, you wouldn't carry appendix anyways.

The holster is very comfortable and my hellcat fits in it well. I would give it 5 stars but the mag holster has no retention at all. I’ve tightened every screw on it and nothing improved it. Once it’s tucked, my stomach puts enough pressure on it to hold it in place so I’m not letting that ruin my entire opinion of it because it is much cheaper than most of the alternatives. The connector for the sidecar is leather so if this is your EDC holster, it wouldn’t hurt to get some leather treatment to waterproof it from sweat and make it last longer

Beware after just under two weeks this failed. Bolts and clips broke.

Overall the holster is great. I was able to tighten the parts needed to keep the gun in the holster. However, I was not able to keep the extra mag from falling out when turned upside down. I did tighten the screws as much as I was able to. This does concern me some. This only means I have to be extra cautious when using public facilities.

Worked great. Use everyday. Took the extra mag off. Kept poking my belly. Once the summer body happens I might put the mag back on
