GunfightersINC Holsters?

[two70]

Anyone have any experience with GunfightersINC holsters?

They are one of the few companies currently making holsters to fit PSD pistols and the custom Kenai rig looks like a perfect fit for my needs but having no personal experience with them, I thought I'd check to see if anyone else does before shelling out the cash.

I have several versions of their Ronin holster and one of their Baba Yaga holsters. I like them a lot, but will admit that they sometimes seem to cut corners. I've had to send a holster back because it was terrible (sharp edges, didn't fit the gun well, had issues with the belt loops), but the return/repair process was painless and they have a lifetime warranty. The only ready to ship holster that I purchased was problematic, but I've had better luck with the custom holsters. They do take quite a while to ship. Overall I'd buy from them again, but I know going in that I might have to return the holster if something isn't right. I don't have any experience with the Kenai rig.

Thanks, that is helpful!

You're welcome. I really like the holsters and think they're great quality, but you may have to use the lifetime warranty. If you know that ahead of time I think it's all good...

I used the Kenai rig to carry a glock 20 for a couple years as my hunting backup. I really liked the holster a lot. Easy to adjust, easy to put on and take off, held the pistol really secure. It did take a bit of practice on the draw stroke to get the pistol out cleanly since it held it so tight.
I sold it with my glock. That was a regrettable decision.

Selling the Holster or the …..? Non retention holster, just really tight?

Selling the Holster or the …..? Non retention holster, just really tight?

My experience with some of the GFI holsters is that they are extremely tight. One holster I have is so tight it's very difficult to get the gun out of the holster. They recommended leaving the gun in and using a hair dryer to loosen it up a bit. Haven't tried it yet as I'm lazy, it's for a gun I've decided not to carry and they have a lifetime warranty...

I have one for my S&W 329PD and an AR dual mag pouch. They are not my favorites, but in my experience they are quality items.

Selling both was regrettable. It was just flat tight. Held the pistol very well, no worries about it falling out. The draw stroke is just something to work on. If you're not snappy with it you're just going to pull the whole rig across your chest.

Extremely helpful feedback on the issues from holster experience. I've long been on the fence over one of these holsters given how special purpose it is and my infrequent use, but thought it would be a faster draw than the current Hill People Gear chest pouch discussed in other threads.

At their price point I would expect solid quality out of the box, so I can't tell you how much I appreciate you saving me from having the company waste my time. I can't afford the lost time (with family medical and other issues) to do things twice, and I can never get the time back a company robs me of if I have to invest additional time trying to get the job completed that they should have finished before the item was first shipped.

I have two Kenai holsters, one for my 3” Ruger GP100 and one for My Gen 5 Glock 17 with TLR8 light. Both are secure and of solid construction.
