I've been experimenting with the RFT and micro the last couple months and I like them a lot, not perfect, but definitely owning a niche. The hybrid might be the best of all.

Sounds good................let me know how you like it, might be a step up from the regular version.

I've more or less made Remora my EDC holster for quite a while..........works well, cheap & multiple guns can use the same holster.

The Remora Mini Carbon showed up...meh. It's probably destined for the holster bin, but I'll give it a few days just in case.

For those that don't know, Remora makes the IWB 'sticky holsters' which have a place in the world. They're sticky on both sides which sorta splits the weight between the waistband and the shirt, unlike a regular IWB that tugs solely on the belt. The pistol just carries lighter. The Mini Carbon is an IWB hybrid that has a kydex half shell with a clip and the sticky material on the back of the leather portion. It sounds good - the weight is split between the clip and the sticky material, but also offering the advantage of kydex.

To be blunt, the holster is poorly executed. I can only complain $42.50 worth, but I would have happily paid more for the idea plus some craftsmanship. As you can see in the photo below the muzzle protrudes from holster, and since hybrids don't retain very well, a bump on the muzzle will tend to unseat the pistol. Also, too much of the trigger guard is exposed. The leather is cheap, the clip is cheap, and the kydex is cheap, so it's good the boogered clip screw was included for free. It's possible the kydex is cut better for other pistols, but the cheap remains.

The P365 is a very easy pistol to carry. In contrast to the Mini Carbon, Desantis shows how tidy things can be for about the same money.

Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.
