Second BERS I got. There seem to be some quality control issues, at least between the Black and Tan BERS. The tan one I first got was loose, but useable for my Canik TP9SF. But it was significantly longer than this Black BERS I got along with a new holster,. Black BERS was very, very tight on a G19 with its ANR holser (w/ QLS fork). It’s not super usable, in practice. You’d have to completely take apart the system to access your firearm, rather than be able to tuck it away. Still, it’s good construction. I’ll hold onto it in case it fits another holster for myself or someone else.

Lightweight and easy to install, though the lack of instructions required some zooming into product images to see the appropriate setup. Not as tight as shown on the Glock but fit my Canik TP9SF fine after I moved the inside loop to the furthest screw on my QLS fork. It’s not as secure as an ALS but it’s great to have something more than passive retention. Highly recommend if you can’t find an ALS holster for your pistol for whatever reason.
