Took delivery on the CYA on Friday. Here's the 72 hour review...
Took it out of the package andI gotta say it looked good, albeit with a somewhat clunky looking plastic belt clip. Overall it looks a fair bit thinner, with the LC9S in it, than the Sticky holster I've been using. The finish is slick as well and it is easy to insert it in my waistband behind the hip.
Upon opening I unloaded the Ruger and slid it into the holster. CLICK. Tried to pull it back out. Hmmm...
With my thumb wrapped around the belt clip I vigorously pulled and twisted until I struggled the pistol out of the holster. OK, it won't fall out. I put the pistol back in and put the holster in my belt, behind the hip bone. Tried to draw it out and there was just no way. Thought I'd stretch my belt first.
But the retention is screw adjustable, and with an allen wrench I turned the screw out first a half turn and then a full turn. The pistol still clicks audibly upon holstering, and retention is still good. Draw from ,my 4 oclock position is easy. Reholstering is easy despite my well fed midsection.
The clunky plastic belt clip?
Works great for getting a holstered pistol in place on your belt. Easily and securely grabs the belt it's stuck into.
It's also easy to get it out of your belt with a finger hooked below the bottom of the clip and slight pressure out and up.
Not an issue all weekend as I went back and forth doing my daily routines. But today I got into the dentist chair. I'm bigger than the average guy, and lots of chairs don't fit right. I was OK through the exam and cleaning, but when I tried to stand the belt clip was hung on the fold out armrest. A quick wiggle and I was free, but the hygienist commented that my phone must have been caught. My phone was in my tshirt pocket.
Overall, after 3 days I like it and glad I got it.
As to the dental chair, there was a slight issue, but then I wouldn't have even worn a pistol in a Sticky holster in that setting. They're sticky, but not THAT sticky.
