I have two other ANR holsters that I love, so thought I’d try the IWB option. I want to love this holster. It’s very comfortable, but the kick out where the mono block mounts makes zero sense to me. It creates such a large gap between the holster and the monoblock, that it will not attached to any belt I have. I wish there was not such a large kick out at the top. It’s a fantastic holster, but unfortunately the attachment just doesn’t work for me.

We use the monoblock to accommodate a wide range of belts. If the clip is not making positive contact to the holster, please reach out to customer service and we can fix the issue. These belt clips are designed for gun belts.

I’m a confirmed leather holster fan. But when I started carrying AIWB, neither of my leather holsters fit comfortably (as they did when I carried at 5 o’clock). I saw a YouTube review of the ANR kydex holster for my Beretta 80X Cheetah and thought I’d give it a try. If only it smelled and sounded like leather when I holster why pistol (instead of the scraping sound of plastic), it would be perfect in every way. That notwithstanding, it holds my pistol with positive retention and is so slim that I wear it without the slightest discomfort. With the claw and a wedge I added, it fits so close to my body that it nearly disappears under my shirt. It has been a very pleasant surprise and made me a convert to the ANR brand. Thanks.

The best holster I’ve ever owned…and I own about 6 from all different brands. I ordered an IWB Holster with an optic cut and claw. I always thought the claw was some kinda marketing gimmick because I was ignorant to what it did. However after about 3 months of using it…the way the claw pushes the gun closer to my body makes it more comfortable to carry and it conceals better. I carry a P80 in the (G19) size. So my other holster would print a lot in certain times depending on what I wore. I had a “We The People” holster and the retention was laughably loose and the belt clip wasn’t the best. I couldn’t really carry it with basketball shorts or sweatpants. I say all of this to say: buy once, cry once. Cheap isn’t always good. You never know the difference in quality till you take a leap of faith and upgrade. My other holster wasn’t even Kydex as they advertised. The materials are so VASTLY different it kinda blew me away. Since I’m adding a light to my duty gun, I’ll be shopping and recommending A&R to everyone in my inner circle.

I’ve been carrying this for a few weeks (M9A3 w/ Streamlight TLR-1HL) & I’m thrilled with it. Quality construction & it actually makes that large pistol very concealable. It sits very low & the concealment wing does its job very well. 10/10

Great holster and quick shipping on the CNC models, I’ll be back for a Lightbearing OWB in the near future. I really like that they offer their holsters in Boltaron because it is a superior material, I fully recommend ANR Design.
