So much happier with this than the alien gear holster. Much smaller, simple, great retention.

Love this new AIWB holster. I did multiple internet searches and couldn't find a kydex holster for my Lionheart LH9C. Tried out Dara holsters and couldn't be happier. Solid design, high quality, works great and is one of the best holsters I own. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to deep conceal their handgun using appendix carry. You should easily find your handgun in the huge list they are able to build for you.

I ordered mine with... High Ride, Straight Draw with WEDGE and 1.5" Clip Over. I love this holster and found that it is MUCH more comfortable to wear with my stiffer belts. I have noticed that when I wear it with my worn out leather belt, it is far less comfy and jabs me often. I am 5' 9" tall 180 lbs and slight belly. I carry two ways (between the 12 and 1 o'clock or slightly between 1 and 2 o'clock position) depending on the pants or shorts I wear. I will be ordering another AIWB for my full size M&P but will change cant angle to either the 7.5 or 15 degree REV angle for additional comfort when sitting because I find myself shifting the holster that way when I sit down.

This holster is great, I've done my research and carried the name brands but this is great. I'm 6'4" 250lbs, my stomach is not flat like all those youtubers you see modeling the appendix holster. I enjoy appendix carry and this Dara holster makes it that much better. I carry at 12oclock and the holster moves with me. I don't worry about long car rides, sitting, or printing just dont count on tieing you shoe, but that's any appendix holster. Bottom line it's sturdy, slick, concealable, and retention is awesome. Let's also mention it's made in the United States and employees American citizens. Enough said for me. Thanks for the great holster.

Great holster. It is very comfortable and hugs the body concealing very well. Printing is none existent.

Best Holster I’ve ever owned. I have purchased multiple holsters for different firearms and they are top notch everytime. Dara aHolsters really caters to the consumer and provides hands down the best holsters of all on the market. Made in the USA! Keep up the great work Dara Holsters!

Outstanding holster for my Stoeger Couger which are hard to find and it fits like a glove. Not to mention Awesome quality and finish.

Fit, workmanship, attention to detail,..... PERFECT! This is my second purchase from DARA. Don't see myself going anywhere else. 100% satisfied.

I have carried for over 32 years and have never been happy with the many modes of carry I have done. IMB, Shoulder, pancake and strong side belt. I also carried in the pocket until Dara. To set the story line, I have worked the street, undercover capacity and always carried off duty. Now that I am retired, I still carry every day. I have always had truble finding a firearm that was "just right". Two firearms have completed my look. The Glock 43 and now the H&K VP9SK. I carried the Glock in a pocket holster which was mostly comfortable but the gun would swim in the pocket and was not really "now" accessible. I now carry the H&K VP9SH and am really happy with it. Again, what to carry it in. At 300 plus pounds and 6'2" it has been a problem. Along came DARA holsters. The inside the waist band to together with a gun version sturdy belt and the combination is a match made in heaven. I have no problem carrying at the appendix. It is comfortable, even when sitting. Amazing. The holster is well made and you would be hard pressed to find a value elsewhere. The holster was a 15 degree cant with a belt clip (1.5"). The cant is with the muzzle forward. Thanks DARA.

I'm a holster junkie and I'll tell you that this holster is perfection!! The goods- Well contorted trigger guard that snap and give a very positive feel when holstered and unholstered. Smooth rounded edges especially around the muzzle area that add to comfort. Very wide clip that hooks under belt-this is actually my favorite part of this holster-the firearm doesn't lean left or right and remain exactly where it's supposed to be. The sights are protected/excellent sweat guard protection. Mag released is covered while holstered!! People go back and forth with this but I prefer that my firearm cannot change its state from loaded to unloaded while holster, if I fall or take a shove I don't have to worry about if I dropped my mag. The Bad (nothing really but...) It took about 6 weeks to receive which IMO is a little too long for a kydex holster, I'm sure this varies based on work load.

I've tried many kinds of holsters, and this is the first one that didn't need work to fit comfortably while still offering quality and security. Can tell it's a high quality product right out of the box before use. Website recommendations were spot on and the "wedge" feature is great. From custom order to arrival was 18 days. Well designed and perfectly executed with the best materials.

I was more than pleased when my holster arrived. Very nice workmanship. All edges rounded smooth, excellent materials and the fit was perfect.

This is the second AIWB holster I have purchased from Dara. Excellent quality and craftsmanship. I continue to recommend Dara and their products my friends who are in the market for a clean, reliable and safe kydex holster. Keep up the great work Dara!

I received my AIWB holster for my new HK VP9sk and was immediately impressed with the fit and finish of the holster. The thickness of the material and attention to detail for little things like fit around the rear sights, trigger guard and muzzle was top-notch. I was so impressed, I immediately ordered a second holster for OWB use.

Great holster I can't wait to get comfortable wearing. Surprisingly smooth with a quality finish. Colors are great and craftsmanship is on point. Great holster

This is my first holster from this company and found it to be of great quality and set up. Fit and Finish are well done making for a comfortable carry.

Great fit Great holster. Already ordered another one.

This is by far the best Holster I have ever owned. The concealment ability, the comfort, and overall quality is top notch. I wish more companies put more time and effort into creating their products. Great Job to all involved!

My new AIWB Dara holster for my new Creed is perfect. The gun fits perfectly and the holster's workmanship is perfect. The black leather texture is beautiful.

I'be tried severalappendix holsters including those made by Crossbreed and Versa-carry. This holster is far more comfortable than the Crossbreed and much more stable than the Versa. Mine is for the PPS M2 with the seven round magazine and has the Wedge, it is easily concealable under a tshirt even though I am tall and thin. The Versa had a similar footprint but whenever I sat down it would shift and pinch where pinches are not ok. I would highly recommend this holster to anyone.

This is my 4th IWB holster as a new shooter. I wanted to do appendix carry. The first holster, designed for women, had the clip in a place that would give less bulge, but I would bang my middle finger. Raising or lower the clip would not seat the pistol well. The next holster was a soft paddle that had me release the mag every time. I was sold a holster for the wrong model gun by a company at a gun show who later said it was okay because they made their holsters larger. It wasn't built to the shape of my pistol. All the other holsters dug into my upper leg which required sitting funny. No, I don't have a gun! Not me! THIS holster is GREAT! Nice quality. Sturdy clip that keeps the holster in place even with a weak belt. And, the sit and feel is terrific. Nice retention. No problem wearing it for hours. Best of all, after being misinformed by somebody at the range, I had an excellent customer service experience. Prompt attention; courteous requests to look into the situation; and swift analysis and answer. Dara Holsters is a great company to work with all around!

I'll be very upfront, I have been carrying concealed for 14 years now and been through a couple Grand in assorted holster. over the last year I have had major lumbar spine problems that reaulted in surgery January 30th of 2017. I really couldnt wear anythimg but a shoulder holster and personally hated it! Never owning an apendix and only ever having done Mexi carry upfront for brief periods of time I was quite sceptical of comfort and mobility while carrying yet with my surgery started thinking it wouldn't pull on me in wierd ways. I hunted seeing kydex getting priced at what I could only call high end leather pricing. (Shark, horse, ray, ostrich ect) when I finally came upon Dara I thaught with thier pricing I can easily take a chance. The overall custom aspect of Dara was great down to being able to choose J clip versus full belt loops or other. Upon recieving the holster I just got plain old ecited! The quality is outstanding! I have been wearing my Kahr 9 and really loving the holseter. I can go from standing to seated without even feeling like I have to adjust and I also carry an extra mag and a krambit right up front.. As far as getting a Kydex Iwb I'm Team Dara for Life!!!

Love both of these holsters - they have everything you need and nothing you don't. The built in wedge feature is great - wouldn't order without it. The belt loop is just right in the width dept. as it keeps the holster secure and doesn't allow it to move around. Well done DARA!!!!!! Compared to other holsters, DARA goes a step beyond. The fit and finish is obvious and you can tell that the craftsman takes the time to do it right and with pride. I'm getting used to appendix carry, and both the holsters are as comfortable as this type of holster can be - no rough or sharp edges. To any haters out there that want to piss and moan about wait times, might I suggest you shut your cock washers and go shop somewhere else. I was quoted 5 - 6 week lead time and that is what it took. Now that I have them in hand it would have been worth waiting much longer. You can pay more, but you'll be hard pressed to find better!! DARA, when the time comes, I'll be shopping with you first.

Love this holster! Like most of the reviews state it does take awhile to receive (mine took almost 7weeks) but worth the wait. Smooth edges, solid build, great clip, and the wedge is perfect, doesn't add too much bulk but does its job very well. Will be ordering more holsters from Dara in the future!!

Very well made. Excellent workmanship, fit and finish. Holds securely and very comfortable. Great concealment too. Glad I found a quality local company to buy from and I be a repeat customer for sure.

I have them all! Seriously! Waited several weeks to get my Custom AIWB and thought, yup, here's another one. I was so wrong. The kydex is as expected as is the "glove-like" fit for my Glock 26. But the clip made the wait worth it. It has a larger surface area than my other clips which means it stays in place which is perfect for training and EDC. Kudos to the Dara company.

Fantastic fit and finish. Great options for the perfect setup. Website ordering walks you through all the options needed to find that ideal rig for your gun, from belt loop size, draw angle and location. The texture and finish is very comfortable for IWB carry as is the size and snug fit.

Great holster! The Dara construction and the ability to set the cant angle, makes the holster very comfortable and concealable

After ordering, it took a while to get. Once I used it, it works amazing. Quality is nice and so far its been a standard in my everyday carry. 5 stars if it didn't take forever to get.

Excellent product, no complaints. Got the coyote AIWB holster for my Walther CCP. Keep in mind, these holsters are made to order, so expect to wait a few weeks. Especially for the rarer handguns.

Great customer service at Dara! This is a great compact holster. The high ride height is just enough to get a full grip on the S&W Shield. The belt clip is very strong (tried it on several non-gun belts). Range report - functions great, easy to draw and reholster. Comfortable to wear when seated (and driving). Thanks DARA!

Very difficult to find holster for walther p99 Your iwb was perfect Great job!

Fits my sig p226 perfect the carbon fiber looks great. Pistol conceals very well for its size

Recently purchased a Custom Kydex AIWB holster with clip over attachment. After dozens of practice draws I had pulled the entire rig (gun and holster) off my belt multiple times.I ordered a J hook which arrived within days and find it to be a superior choice. It never came loose. Keep in mind that I am using a thinner nylon belt but the clip over did not have enough bite to give me a great deal of confidence. With a J hook it will NEVER come off. Holster was a great choice. I plan on buying a custom OWB soon.

I purchased an IWB holster with a stream light TLR-3 for my H&K P30SK. High quality holster, very comfortable and easy to carry. Highly recommended!!!

I recently received my Custom Kydex IWB holster from Dara Holsters and Gear for my Smith and Wesson Shield. Very impressed with the quality and look of my new holster. It fits my Shield perfectly. They have a great selection of colors that you can choose from. Mine was the Coyote Brown which I like very much. Customer service was excellent as well. I highly recommend Dara Holsters. Thanks!!!

I was looking for a small kydex holster for my Ruger LCr w/ LaserMax CF. I searched around and had a couple of recommendations online to contact Dana to see what my options were. They went above and beyond, they didn't have the molds for my laser so they contacted LaserMax and they obtained the entire line. A few weeks passed and I received my holster. I was really happy with the quality of the workmanship, but I felt the holster could use some changes. Specifically I wanted some kydex removed from some areas for my personal comfort. Dana was great, sent me a shipping label made a note of the changes I wanted and a week after I shipped to them I received my holster. I couldn't be happier with the holster, or the service.

5 Stars! Recommend your holsters to everyone I know. Excellent company who really cares about their customers! Top notch and quality holsters.

I have 'wasted' tons' of $$$ over my police career on leather holsters from the 'major' holster companies. Then I 'tripped over' DARA on the web. Dana in Customer Service filled my orders for 2 Holsters, both hand-made by her Husband, John. Unbelievable craftmanship, perfect fit, top-quality Kydex material, Super-smooth weapon draw from the holster, right out of the package with 'no' adjustmunt !, Very comfortable inside the waist band holsters, lightweight - there is absolutely nothing that could be done to make these holsters anymore 'PERFECT' !! So now, I have to call and see if holsters can be made for my remaining weapons since I will be selling or giving away all of my leather... Thank You Dara Company, Dana and John Ed Am I ever impressed with two PERFECT, IN EVERY WAY, holsters, for the first time in my life. Unbelievable - words simply cannot describe the craftmanship, fit, safety, retention, and ease of draw of these two holsters.

Pardon my language, but I've been in holster hell for a long time and haven't been able to find a comfortable AIWB holster. My holster drawer was starting to fill up, and my bank account starting to empty. This holster is it for me. Super comfortable and made like a tank so I don't have to worry about where the muzzle is pointed when holstered. I just forget it's there. That's about all you can ask. Great job.

Very comfortable holster with awesome retention capacity. Takes a little while to obtain the custom version, but definitely worth the wait.

I love the finish (I got carbon fiber). Small, functional, easy to hide. I love it

This is my 2nd Dara holster. My 1st order was for my S&W 9mm Shield which is my everyday carry gun. I love both holsters. Quality at its best!!

I have two IWB Dara holsters and they are by far the finest made holsters on the market, hands down. The attention to detail stands out from all other holsters, fit is perfect, edges are perfect, retention is right on. Absolutely nothing to improve upon. Perfect!!!

After spending a small fortune and never receiving exactly what I wanted from other kydex holster companies, I stumbled upon the Dara website. Impressed by the ordering process, I dove in and ordered a couple of appendix IWB holsters and a mag pouch. A few weeks later I received the perfect holsters. The holsters were made exactly how I wanted them. Perfect. No garage modifications necessary. I proudly showed them off to my buddies at the station and Dara will have a few more new customers in the coming days. As a matter of fact, I'll be ordering a few more holsters now that I know I'm getting exactly what I wanted. Keep up the great work and quality control Dara. You have a new life-long customer!

It took nearly 6 weeks for this holster to be delivered - I'm used to more instant gratification than that. BUT The holster is fantastic. Excellent materials, quality workmanship, very strong, just the right amount of tension (it's adjustable but I haven't needed to adjust it), good job on customizing for extended slide lock & mag release. I especially like the partial muzzle coverage which creates nice smooth curves down in an area where sharp corners do not belong (it's appendix-carry). Great job. I will definitely purchase my next holster from Dara. I'll also probably gripe about the wait again too but, in the end, it's worth the it.

This holster was my first purchase from Dara and I can confidently say it is the best AIWB holster I own (i own three total and even those were bought after a lot of research). The other holsters are also high quality but I found the fit/finish of the Dara to be very noticeably better. I wouldn't change a single thing about it and it's now my "go to" holster. Thanks for producing a quality product.

Everything about this holster is PERFECT! I looked everywhere for a holster that would fit my gun with laser, Dara made it and it fits like a glove! Thanks for a quality product-MADE IN THE USA!

When I received my Kydex holster, I was thrilled with the product. It fit my XDm 9mm perfectly. I was a little worried because that is a larger gun to conceal carry however, it was comfortable to wear and didn't ride up or press either. I can't wait to carry it out now. Definitely will order another one for the next gun I get. Highly recommended.

I bought one of these for my Ruger LCP and it is amazing. It's perfectly molded to the firearm with just enough retention to make it feel secure, while still being very easy to draw. I really like that they've removed almost all extra kydex to keep it super slim and easier to carry AIWB.

In the past, I've purchased Kydex holsters from others, that didn't fit the gun properly or cause the magazine to release when holstered, remove the finish on one spot of the slide or didn't fit around the sights. The IWB I purchased from Dara didn't have any of these problems, everything was perfect, including the finish on the edges. I highly recommend them and will continue to purchase from them in the future.

This thing fits my P30sk like a glove.Its built like a tank but is very comfortable.The price is amazing for what you get.If you have spent hours looking for the right holster for appendix carry,stop now and just order.You will not be disappointed.

very comfortable love this holster wear it all day no prob.

I recently made the switch from leather to kydex and I don't know why I waited so long. Dara holsters are definitely worth the wait if you want something that fits like a glove right out of the box. Extremely happy with their products.

The Dara holster for my Shield arrived long before two other brands ordered the same week. Fit and finish are superb. A big selling point in their design is the rounded contours around the muzzle and lack of unnecessary excess materials in key areas where the holster makes contact with your body. Very comfortable. The clip is wide and stable with very good retention qualities. Though they don't recommend the low ride height, it is my preferred configuration. The grip sits just barely above the beltline, just how I like it for deep concealment while still allowing a reasonably consistent grip on the draw. Retention was perfect right out of the box. I particularly like how Dara's design covers the mag release, making it impossible to accidentally unseat a magazine.

Great holster, high quality, excellent customer service

Good fit, outstanding material, and very comfortable to wear. Thanks for another great product, and excellent service.

Just got my New Dara holster today and find it to be of High Quality . Its made of extra strong Kydex Materials The clip is super strong which to me is very important as not to draw the weapon and holster come with it . The fit is perfect , snug firm hold but easy to draw (adjustable tension) . The muzzle ends are rolled under for protection of the weapon and also gives comfort when setting down or walking . Overall its the best holster i own and will be adding one for each handgun i own . Another thing is all Dara holsters are made in the USA by professinals . Customer service is awsome , very freindly , helpful and nice people . Thanks Dara for the great service and Quality Products

It's a secure holster, no complaints

Arrived two weeks ago, and have worn it almost every day. Very comfortable and functional for my Glock 19. Was highly recommended to me, and I would highly recommend to anyone else who wishes to carry.

The holster is exactly as advertised - GREAT.

I dont know that I have ever had a company address a concern so quickly. My previous review was a 4 due to a minor issue I had with this superior product. It was resolved quickly and above my expectations. You have my business in the future for sure. Thats how its Done Dara! Thanks!

Excellent quality and great retention! My only complaint is that my 1.75" belt clip measures 2" and the holster pulls up on draw and rides up in a seated position and needs readjustment (makes carrying obvious). A smaller clip will likley fix the problem. The retention screw also pokes at me and is quite annoying but can but grinded down.

From the information that I read on internet, I expected a good quality holster from DARA, but I was still very much surprised at the quality and workmanship. For my AIWB holster, I chose a mid ride height, straight draw cant angle with the 1.5" clip over. It is a very comfortable AIWB holster to wear with my S&W Shield 9mm and I am extremely happy with my purchase..

My initial review was 2 stars based on the standard clip not keeping the holster securely in the waistband when drawing my weapon. Dara resolved this on their own by sending me a J-hook type clip that hooks under my belt and secures the holster when the weapon is drawn. This is great customer service, folks. Dara was quick to jump on this. Great company.

The "one attachment" design is definitely my favorite type of IWB kydex holster. This design significantly reduces the overall size of the holster and allows a design that is much more comfortable in all positions and easily concealable. Once I bought my first I can see why these become the favs of most and explains why a custom order has a significant waiting time. I've bought 3 more since.

I've made leather holsters for about forty-five years. In some situations, Kydex is a far better material for a holster. An example is IWB holsters. Kydex is thinner and provides good retention and quick release. The Dara holster is well designed and well made. The holster was perfectly made to my exact requests. I'm very pleased with the holster and will order other holsters, from Dara, in the future.

So I purchased this holster and I am so glad that I did. I use it every single day and I don't feel like I am wearing anything. My gun (Walther PPQ M2) fits perfectly and the retention is outstanding. I love this holster and Dara is going to be my supplier from here on out.
