Made by an outfit called Gunslinger. Any fans?

The best, as far as I can tell. They give good retention but are slick from any draw angle. I use them with a number of different guns.

Once I tried one, I ended up with a bunch of leather chest rigs gathering dust.

I like them, and have 2 of their holsters……unless I’m using my handgun for hunting! Very noisy removing the firearm from the holster. For hunting……I prefer leather! memtb

I've got a GS Holster that a guy out in the valley makes. Picked it up for like $75 from Alaska Ammo. Seems to look pretty much the same as a Kenai holster to me, but I've not messed with one.

Great for an automatic. I did not like the one I had for my L frame. Very comfortable for a glock or similar though.

Nope. Very disappointed in the product and customer service.

I've heard nothing but good things, so that's interesting Mike.
I don't use them as the hpg fits my usage better, but I like the idea. I have a razco that is supposed to run under the hpg, but I have never actually used it

I've been very happy with mine since I got it.

What specifically did you not like about it in respect to your L frame?

I got pretty much the same thing for $50 less from Hosking Holsters out of Montana. They do work okay, but I find the kydex too noisy for my hunting guns. For those I use the cordura rigs from Man Gear Alaska.


The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.

Do tell. If it's too saucy send me a PM.

Yeah that's part of the decision. I like the soft, quiet aspect of a cordura chest bag, but the idea of dealing with a zipper or clip in the heat of the moment gives pause. Kydex is easier to draw, but noisy and tough to use with binocs. I don't usually hike with binocs on my neck, but do glass that way.

Not saucy at all.

We had ordered a Kenai for a G19.

It did not have adjustable tension. It was incredibly tight to the point it took two hands and considerable effort to extract the gun. Emailed the company and they sent instructions on oven heating and basically reforming the kydex. My thought was that’s what was paid for.

Emailed again asking for return authorization. They said it was forthcoming. Never did.

What we did get was another Kenai rig in the mail. Now there were two to return.

Got that done and was told about a local recently-started biz making holsters. Great.

Perfect fit, adjustable tension. Have a total of 4 holsters and two msg pouches from them.

Went with them. The only drawback is that they are in high demand with 12ish week backlog, last I talked to them.

No sauce!

Thanks bud. I thought most kydex holsters had adjustable retention...

When I got one for a Sig P220 it was so tight it was a 2 man operation to pull it out. laugh

I got one for my g20 and wore in on a 7 day float down the Wulik. No complaints.
