I recently purchased afew holsters from Aegis Armory. I wanted to give a short review of my experience with them. I was told about Aegis through a coworker of mine, and after doing some research on them I had to give them a shot. There not only made in the USA, but here in Flowery Branch, GA. There prices are fantastic, and they offer a holster for just about any need. There customer service was fantastic as well. Quick response, and quick shipping! I had both holsters within 7 days of ordering!

Made for both IWB and OWB carry. I personally have never carried OWB nor have I used this holster for that purpose. As far as IWB carry goes Iv been very pleased. Iv been carrying it everyday for 2-3 weeks now and it is crazy how comfortable it is. There are no sharp or harsh edges on the leather so theres no roughness against the skin. It has adjustable clips for different depth and angle adjustment. The best part was there was no break in period! From day one its been nothing but comfort. After wearing it afew weeks I dont even notice it anymore. This holster also comes from Aegis with a combat cut free of charge. This is something most other companies charge extra for.

This one is made of just kydex. Designed to be worn around the neck or carried in a bag/purse. I carry a backpack to work everyday so I figured it would come in handy. Its got a piece of removable 550 cord so it can be attached or worn around the neck. I always attach it to my backpack and slide it in my camel-back bladder. Its protects the gun nice, holds very secure, but at the same time easily removable in case you need your firearm. My only complaint with this holster is the 550 cord. Iv tried to use this holster under my shirt/jacket when jogging or walking the dog, and the 550 cord gets uncomfortable. Im sure it all depends on what gun your carrying, but I didnt care for it. That being said I did attach a thicker lanyard made of 550 cord and it worked great.
If your looking for something new I would suggest giving them a look. Supporting a local company, and getting a awesome product in return. What more can you ask for.
