"I do like this style of drop holster, however there are some issues with it, but first the good; this holster can accommodate a variety of side arms, has slots for two extra mags, has MOLLE to add riggings to the holster, and the fabric components seem well made. My problems with this holster are that though it is low profile against your thigh it's wide design can still get in the way when you're moving around, with a heavy setup the height adjustment straps slip bit by bit as you move until you're pistol is holstered around your' knee, the single strap around the thigh design isn't great for keeping it in place, and I cracked the buckle on the thigh strap just from crawling over some rough terrain. (though that can be replaced it's annoying for it to break within 3 months) Either way it's not perfect for me but maybe for someone else it's ideal, I do like all the color options but function is more important to me than looks.

"Good holster overall. I'm tall (around 6'2) and I have long arms, so drop legs work best for me. with this one the straps were already in the right spot, and the leg strap fits snugly, but not too tight. I'm also left handed, but the way the holster is designed it was extremely simple to adapt for my left side. The only complaint I have is that the snap that holds the gun in broke very easily, but there is Velcro on the clip strap, so it still stays closed, and it keeps my pistol locked in while I run. All in all, good product I would buy another one if I start carrying another pistol, or want one in a different color.

"Pro:
Can hold basically most of the medium~large pistol with lights attached, I can fit my TM Hi-Capa 5.1 with X300 and it can go in without the magazine fall out during actions.
2 extra mag pouches can be seen as backup pouches, so that you can exchange the used magazine with the mags in pouches between games and leaving the mags in primary pouches ready to be used in games.
The leg strap is great
Con:
The hostler is very soft, and can be easily deformed, making your guns hard to be inserted back in if the holster is strapped to your leg tight, so you have to leave enough space by losing up the leg strap.
The hanging slings' elastic containing ring is kinda lose, so the holster is still going down during the action after you adjusted your sling to a proper length or height because the ring can't hold the end of the hanging sling. I punched a hole on both hanging slings after I adjusted them and used zip ties to make sure my holster doesn't go down.
The belt ring's metal button was teared from the nylon ring

"I purchased this because I needed a holster that would accept different handgun models (92F/M9, G17/18C, 1911, M&P, P226, SP2022) with or without a light, and not too cumbersome. When I initially placed the order, I had some doubts but decided for the cost it was worth the risk. When it arrived, I was happy to find that the fuax-Multicam pattern was fairly accurate. It doesn't have that muted pink tint commonly found with Chinese made faux-Multicam products. It easily accepted the Elite Force 1911 Tactical and the CYMA G18C, both with the Matrix Replica M3 Light and is ambidextrous. There are two grommets on the the front and back of the holster at the bottom; I ran some Tan 499 shock cord through them which snugged the weapon even tighter. There is a thumb break snap strap with a secondary Velcro safety strap. The secondary strap makes for easy and quick retention after re-holstering the weapon, allowing much faster transition back to the rifle than the primary strap. The magazine pouches are fairly forth right and do what they're designed to do.
The backing is not neoprene but feels like some sort of low-grade rubber (if there is such a thing) and surely will allow the holster to sway when running. The hanging straps are the biggest downside to the holster. They are made of cheap nylon webbing with cheap knock-off Fastex style buckles. Additionally, if worn as it's built, the holster will be somewhere near your knee. My fix was to throw away the buckles and belt loop pieces and add a tri-glide to each one. That reduced the length of drop (I prefer a mid-ride holster, just enough to clear a jacket hem, and have modded my 6004s and Serpas to get the same effect.) The thigh strap is fairly standard but will need a buckle upgrade. Re-holstering can be difficult as the holster collapses when the weapon is drawn.
These are initial impressions only, I haven't put it through any actual use yet. Based on my experience, I wouldn't use it for anything more than airsoft without doing some serious modifications (straps, retention) but what you get is worth the price.

"Honestly, in my experience with crappy holsters, this holster comes out like a god!! This holster has shown me that just because it has a small price tag, it doesn't mean that its a terrible product. Through my review, I hope you can be convinced into using this, bc it is Easily a 5-starproduct (if only they made a left leg holster, also)
Pros:
-2 straps that connect to belt and one around leg for a very secure and even fit
-2 magazine pouches are big enough to hold large magazines
-many buckles don't get loose over time as the straps are rubberized
-has a leathery feel on the outside facing towards your leg that makes it comfortable
-VERY easy to adjust
-holds large and heavy pistols with ease, and CAN hold lasers/taclights (ill go more on that)
-and lastly, the holster itself is not molle so your heavy pistol is secured firmly against your thigh
Now for the cons:
-I like how another review said your not the fastest quick drawer, cause that is certainly true
- the strap that keeps the pistol in the holster is very hard to open, making hard to retrieve your pistol, especially when under pressure (somewhat like number 1)
-The other thing is going back to the laser... I own a 1911 with a somewhat bulky laser that hangs from the rail. Every time I try to pull out my pistol, my laser snags on the inside, making it difficult to pull out the pistol entirely
I know this is somewhat long, but I hope you find this review helpful, overall I would give it an 8/10 just bc I am forced to buy a new laser since the one I have makes pulling the pistol out impractical. Other than that, it is beautifully made, and it might seem a bit bulky at first but the more you use it the more you feel like such a cool guy!!! Thanks Evike for being awesome and selling this product!!

"The drop leg works just fine, and these drop legs have seem to work best for me as I tend to run a lot on the field. No problems with straps coming loose. The only downside is the color of the marpat is not exact as shown in the picture.

"I think this is one innovative product, very novel idea addressing the flaw in most molle dropleg platforms. Here are a few considerations when purchasing this:
The Good:
* I like how it was design to sit close to the leg. It does avoid flopping around when you run and gun.
* Pistol mag slips in front and behind the pistol. Retention straps for the are adjustable.
* Pistol retention is fully adjustable. The strap closer to the leg has a stiff pad that allows the snaps to disengage as you draw.
* One leg strap attachment. This makes it easier to mount higher up the thigh, where droplegs should be.
* The pistol holster can accommodate any full-size pistols. Echo1 Timberwolf and KWA M226 fits just fine, with and without a weapon light mind you, so that counts for points for the rig. I can imagine a pistol with a mock suppressor should fit nicely.
* Worksmanship and product quality is top notch: material is high-quality, hardware are of good quality that it won't break on you, bar-tacked on the stress points.
Now here are some improvement points:
* Yes it's designed to sit close to the leg. To avoid the right from flopping, you have to secure snug. However, the more the secure the fit, the tighter the holster tends to be. Add a pistol and mags, it pulls the straps tighter.
* The pistol straps can only be adjusted forward or backward. The straps are secured within on molle slot. This lands the retention between the slide and the pistol frame, It would have been good to have the pistol retention strap to be able to move back (or forward) so it lands on the grip.
* If you're used to Blawkhawks and 5.11's, you can't draw the pistol with a proper grip. The rig gets in it's own way. The retention strap gets in the way of your thumb, you can't choke the pistol properly, and your thumb has only enough grip to get the pistol out. As you present the pistol, you have to adjust your grip.
* Reholstering is almost a two-hand affair. Because it fits to your leg, the holster has a tendency to close tight. You need one hand to pry it open, and the second to bring the pistol in. I can imagine the extra liner where the trigger guard hits the holster will fray first.
Adding a replaceable kydex insert should fix all this, this should maintain it's universal appeal.
Three stars for a quality product but two off for functionality loss. Try it and if it works for you great, but this isn't the right rig for me.

"While the holster is very sturdy and doesn't feel like it's going anywhere when I run (even with a large WE-Hi Capa) I dislike it for the fact that it's hard to re-holster the weapon, hits my mag release, and hard to undo the hammer strap. I'd have to recommend a hard shell holster over a plain fabric holster.
