Frequently Asked Questions
What is an IWB holster?
An Inside the Waistband (IWB) holster sits inside your waistband, between your body and your pants. IWB holsters offer superior concealment compared to outside-the-waistband options, making them ideal for everyday concealed carry.
What is KYDEX and why is it used for holsters?
KYDEX is a thermoplastic material that offers excellent rigidity, durability, and moisture resistance. Unlike leather, KYDEX does not deform over time, maintains consistent retention, and is completely sweat-proof.
Will my holster fit with an optic or suppressor-height sights?
Yes. All ANR Design IWB holsters accommodate optics and suppressor-height sights up to 0.450" tall. Every holster ships optic-ready as standard.
What is a concealment claw?
A concealment claw is an injection-molded accessory that tucks behind your belt line and pushes the grip inward, reducing printing. Especially effective for appendix carry (AIWB) positions. Available in Black, OD Green, and Coyote.
What is holster cant?
Holster cant is the angle at which the holster sits on your belt. ANR Design offers an optional 10° forward cant, which angles the grip slightly rearward — advantageous for carrying near the 4 o'clock position.
How long does it take to receive my holster?
Many popular models qualify for Quick Ship with 9-12 business day lead times. Custom mold configurations ship in 3-5 weeks. The configurator displays your estimated lead time and ship date based on your selections.
What warranty is included?
Every ANR Design holster includes a free Lifetime Warranty on the KYDEX® shell — automatically, on every order. No registration, no added cost. If your shell ever cracks or breaks under normal, intended use, ANR Design will replace it. The warranty covers the original purchaser only and is non-transferable. Hardware, cosmetic wear, and damage from misuse or modification are not covered. Customers are responsible for shipping on warranty replacements.
Do you offer lightbearing holsters?
Yes. Most firearm models support lightbearing configurations with lights from Streamlight, Surefire, Inforce, OLight, Sig Sauer, and Modlite. Lightbearing holsters include a $9.99 upcharge. The configurator shows which lights are compatible with your selected firearm.

This is by far my favorite holster I have in the collection… like this holster so much that this will be my 3rd order and I’m going to be getting another one in the next couple weeks for my new pistol. Keep it up guys!! Love the design please don’t change! 🤙🤙

I love Berettas; however, the downside is that it is really hard to find good accessories/holsters for it. ANR have a ridiculously amazing holster! I had one for my full size and recently just purchased another one for my other gun! Very reliable retention, and belt clip!

Thank you Victor!!!
greystreak88 (verified owner) –
Fit, retention, concealment. ANR Designs nailed all of it. Better than the three other holsters I’ve tried, and it’s not even close. The customization and style options are just the cherry on top. Wish I’d found them sooner, but now I know what I’ve been missing.
Alex Costa –
Thank you so much!!!!
J. Kay (verified owner) –
Nobody makes an appropriate sized Kydex holster for a SIG 229 chambered in 40S&W. The slide is too thick to fit in a common 9mm sized holster. By dumb luck, I found it does fit perfectly in an ANR holster fitted for a SIG 320 Compact with a TLR-7. Go figure.
Alex Costa –
That’s rad! Thanks!
Rich (verified owner) –
Amazing holster for my Glock 48 with optic and TLR7 sub. Great retention super comfortable belt clip is flexible yet super sturdy. Absolutely going to get another one for my 19. Excellent craftsmanship with a lifetime warranty and support. I would not go anywhere else for a holster. The additional bonus is giving business to a fantastic company in my home state!

Joshua (verified owner) –
Seems well made but longer than it should be and disappointed I wasn’t told before purchase. The S&W bodyguard 2.0 holster is longer than it needs to be to also fit the carry comp. What’s the point of a small gun if the holster is unnecessary long.
Alex Costa –
Joshua, you would be most unhappy if we cut it to length. Holsters with guns are like sailboats, they need a keel. A full sized grip with a tiny muzzle below the belt causes the gun to tip away from the body and conceal horribly. We made a one-holster-fits both models because it’s the smarter, more comfortable, and concealable way to do it. We have TONS on literature on our site about this. Search pelvic contact and our article we wrote for TFB years back on the need for micro guns to have longer muzzled holsters.

Great product and customer service. Jonny was always on the chat to answer my questions. Fit and finish of my IWB holster for my Sig P320c w/WILD 1 is really, really nice. After searching high and low for a kydex holster for my particular firearm, I found ANR and am very pleased.

I have bought three holsters from ANR now. 2 AIWB (CZ P10C/XD Mod2) and one drop leg nidhogg. They are all superior quality and fit. This last one was for my XD Mod2 .45. No other holster fits this pistol as well as this one does. I can finally carry this small but heavy pistol AIWB comfortably even with my gut in the way. Thanks again!

Great retention for P365 XL. Comfy to wear. You can’t go wrong with this holster. This is my second holster from ANR.
Brad (verified owner) –
So first of all this holster is incredibly well made. The attention to detail is amazing. By far the cleanest looking kydex holster I’ve seen. Second and the reason I’m only giving this two stars is the belt clip. My belt measures 1.75 inches exactly. So i ordered the 1.75 belt clip and its incredibly sloppy on my belt. I ordered my holster with the 10 degree cant and i have at least twice that in slop with the clip. I tried a friends 1.5 clip and it fits my 1.75 belt perfect. I reached out to ANR and was told they wouldn’t exchange it because it was an ordering mistake.

Purchased this holster on a recommendation of a friend who swears by ANR design holsters. Glad I did.
I ordered a light bearing IWB for my M&P 2.0 W/ TLR7A.
Could not be happier with fit, finish and quality. Holds tight, positive click when inserting. Smooth draw. Will use ANR in the future for all holster needs.

Got this holster for my CZ P 07 with stream light TLR 7. Fit is perfect and the craftsmanship is exceptional. ANR offers outstanding products.
Raymond Andrews (verified owner) –
I am very pleased with my outcome. I was so excited to see the finished product once it arrived and I was not let down by the looks and feel. I chose the hex cam 13 option for my black FN 509 compact and I think it looks pretty sharp if I were going to judge a person by how their gun matches their holster lol. The fit was a little right at first around the TLR 7 light and I backed off retention until the screws had little threads left to grab, which led to using a thread lock component (not an issue). After getting a good feel of the draw and how it reacts to my build, it took only a few dozen draws to wear it in perfectly. I now hear the positive “CLICK” and smooth draw with a stable holster in the waist. I only wish now that I would have payed more attention to my order and added the claw, but I’m relatively new to handguns and EDC so not too bad for my first ANR Design holster. Now all I have to do is wait for my LTC permit to arrive in the mail so I can legally use the dam thing I’m so proud of.

Zack Beebe (verified owner) –
I have tried aliengear, muddy river tactical, black hawk, and mckinatec holsters with various guns. Not here to trash on them, but there isn’t a single holster that comes near to anr designs quality, retention, fitment, appearance, and over all design. The placement of the belt clip is the best by far. Are the other companies cheaper, yup. Is Taurus cheaper than Sig, yup. The lead times these guys have is emaculate. Customer service is always on point. For me there is now no reason to try other holsters. This is the one that fits me exactly how I want it to fit paired with a neomag, no complaints about anything.

James (verified owner) –
Purchased for a shield/tlr-6 and it is my new favorite holster. I have the usual box of old holsters from various brands and handgun models. I’ve never had a holster that conceals this well while still being comfortable. I’ve checked out a lot of other kydex brands and have no plans on using anything else in the future.
Tom (verified owner) –
I was recommended this holster from a buddy at work……being a stocky guy i love this holster wish i knew about it years ago!
Eric (verified owner) –
Awesome fit and finish. Adjustable rents room works exactly as it should. The claw sits perfectly in-line with the belt and is very effective. Over all has a minimalist profile but still big enough to get good pressure from belt and pants in order to conceal. I own 5 of these holsters and will continue to get more with new guns.
James (verified owner) –
I’ve tried a couple of my friends holsters with their respective handguns and nothing really felt perfect. Everything was either too high up or felt too pressed into my body. As a big guy I thought i was doomed to carry uncomfortably forever. Someone recommended an ANR to me so i figured i’d give them a shot. I will never shop any other holster brand again. This holster is just the right fit for me. It’s lightweight but durable and secure. i even tested to see if my handgun would fall out if i shook the holster upside down, as I do have a light attached to my weapon. It stayed in the holster like a glove. I would urge anyone considering switching brands, upgrading, or buying their first holster to go with ANR. Carrying a full size has never felt this good.
-Sincerely a very happy customer.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
Thanks James!
Brett Potter (verified owner) –
In my opinion ANR is currently setting the standard for the holster market. This will be my 6th holster from them and definitely won’t be my last. They also have some of the best customer service people around. My only issue with my 6 holster purchases was this most recent one was missing a monobloc that was in my order. I emailed customer service and I had a response in less than a half hour and a tracking number in under an hour. Great Product. Great Company. Buy with the confidence that you are getting one of the best holsters out there.

I purchased this to carry CZ P01 with TLR7. I have owned many different holsters since I started carrying almost 10 years ago. This is by far the most comfortable holster I have found to date. My only regret is not hearing about ANR sooner. Definitely will be recommending this company to anyone looking for a holster. I will definitely be picking up an open carry model in the future!

Mike Skinner (verified owner) –
Yeah so my non-light hearing holster for my P229 turned out EPIC. Retention is spot on, and the DCC mono block is no joke – I prefer it over all other options (except for my P238 I have holster with a spring clip for attaching to gym shorts etc). The Hexcam Spectre 13 is very cool and I have a deep concealment mag carrier to match.

Amazing holster. Quality craftsmanship. Super comfortable. Don’t currently own it anymore due to the fact that I sold the gun with the holster, but it performed terrifically. Will definitely own more for future guns!
Tom Valdespino (verified owner) –
I’ve owned quite a few guns over the years and many, many holsters. But I have to say that this one from ANR Design is by far my favorite. My purchase was for my new P365 X-Macro and needless to say, I love my new holster. The fit is perfect and it is very comfortable. It has a very low profile with no unnecessary bulk anywhere making it great for concealment. The claw works amazing and everything is adjustable. I even bought an extra belt clip that I can tuck my shirt into and it is so easily converted. I love the color choices that ANR offers and they were quick to get holsters out for this new model of the Sig P365. Much thanks to your team for the outstanding quality and awesome product!

Bought the light bearing quick ship iwb holster to replace my original t rex sidecar and will only be using this holster from now on. Can wear it all day standing or sitting with minimal discomfort.
Eric (verified owner) –
The holster I received is decent. It looks good on the outside, but looks a little sloppy on the inside. I won’t judge it for that though.
I have a couple issues with the holster, however. The first is that the groove for the iron sights is off center. Also, the holster rubs excessively on my slide. Both issues occur no matter how tight or loose the screws are set. And both issues cause kydex shavings to build up on my pistol.
The second issue I have is that the plastic clip has unclipped itself from my belt several times. That would be a huge issue in a self defense scenario. I hope the metal clip is better.
Overall, the holster is good enough. And I’m glad they make one for the P2000. But you may want to consider upgrading the clip.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
We use molds and real guns for this model specifically. We make so few P2000 holsters so there are handmade nuances and a break-in period for the gun. Add some gun oil to the points of contact in the holster causing wear. Unclipping from the belt is indicative of a poor belt design for carrying a gun. The upgraded clip is great for NON gun-belts. What kind of belt are you running? Have you gotten the gun hot and run it from your holster in training?
Nick (verified owner) –
Just received this holster about a week ago or so now and I absolutely love it. Can definitely tell this holster was made with some quality parts and lots of thorough detail. Fits my gun and light combo perfectly and is the only company I’ve found that makes a holster for my gun and light combo. Love the holster guys keep up the great work.
Matt (verified owner) –
It was very hard trying to locate a company that had the ability to produce a holster for my FN. When I ran across ANR Design I did notice that they were the highest priced in the market, but it was well worth the cost. The grip highly aggressive and the IWB holster hides the full size weapon and keeps the handguard off my bare skin. Will be buying from this company again.

After some hesitation, I finally ordered a holster for my G19 w/x300. I doubted how comfortable carrying with a big clunky light would be but ANR has surprised and impressed me every time I’m carrying it (every single day). Build quality is phenomenal, lots of adjustment option, and good solid clip retention. Also, when I ordered their lead times were 3-5 weeks. ANR had my holster in my mail box 6 days after I ordered it…now that’s service. Couldn’t be happier with it and my only problem is that now I need to order another holster from them for very handgun I own. Huge thanks to this great company for a great product

Awesome company and great holsters. Very comfortable and high quality. I have 4 of these and don’t plan on stopping there.

Needed an IWB carry holster for my SIG P229 Legion RX. ANR came highly recommended from friends of mine at a well-known training facility. I was not disappointed. Excellent carry holster and I’m 100% glad I got one.
Dan (verified owner) –
I don’t know what witchcraft ANR is using to make these holsters but I can now easily and comfortable AIWB carry my M9A3 with X300U light. I was carrying a Glock 36 with an APLC Glock light on it and that was (for some reason) uncomfortable as all get out. I should mention that I’m not as in shape as I used to be (but round is a shape?) and I can still easily carry my Beretta. Totally blown away by this holster and am considering getting one made for all of my guns. Conceal carry 500 magnum anyone?

Bought it for my M&P .40, the tailoring is amazing, and fit my M&P perfectly right out of the package. Can’t wait to buy more from ANR!
Brandon (verified owner) –
It’s good. It seems well built and the ANR customer service was great. As a holster, the retention seems solid, this being my first holster, it seems comfortable so far, but what I’m not too keen on is how it feels kind of flimsy. I hope I’m wrong but that’s what I noticed, it’s comfortable though

0.080 thick kydex is the standard for IWB for long lasting rigidity and comfort. 0.093thick & 0.125 thick are for OWB and Duty use.

I am use to carrying appendix but this my first attempt with a WML and was a little bit hesitant In trying it being a big guy at 285 pounds and 6 feet tall. I end up going with a Tlr7A on a M&P 2.0 and I was surprise how comfortable and how well it concealed you can just tell the thought and engineering went in to the holster from the smooth edges to way the holster is cut out and Minimalistic approach. All I can say not all holster are the same AnR design is on another level when it comes to holster..
AnR design knows how to take care of their customers in ways I have never seen any other holster company do..
Anthony (verified owner) –
Perfect fit, excellent quality. Asked to have the holster made open bottomed to accommodate a compensator and my request was easily done. Much better, more rigid, and more functional than my previous leather holster, especially with my TLR-7 side buttons that aren’t accidentally actuated with the kydex versus the leather.

Old guy with his first pistol; H&K VP9SK, factory installed Holosun red dot. Figured if I bought a carry gun I should carry. To take classes and learn how to carry responsibly I needed a holster. I read tons of stuff and ran cross ANR in some obscure blog. Must have put this AIWB holster in a cart and got cold feet a dozen times. Finally just bought it with the mag holder to boot. It took a long time to get it, but I wasn’t in a hurry as I’d not even signed up for classes yet. Got it two days ago; first day I hooked it to the casual belt I’d worn to work and it was uncomfortable. Second day I hooked it to a proper EDC belt (had just arrived in the mail) and just hung around the house. Unloaded, just getting used to it. Thoughts on it before locking up the tool for the night. I like it, it’s my first so I don’t have any holster experience to compare to but it looks nice, it fits nice, the hardware, fit, and finish all look to be top notch, and just like the ANR YouTube vid said; get a real belt. A proper EDC belt made all the difference in comfort and the rig feels right on my waist. I look forward to taking some classes and getting comfortable with my new stuff. I have zero buyers remorse and will purchase from ANR again without question.

This is my third Holster from AnR design and I wished I would of bought all my holsters from AnR. I am a big guy 6’ feet 300 pounds and appendix carry all day everyday and finding a good holster is hard. I am the type of guy that changes the ride hight and has to add a wedge right out of the box. I don’t want to name other big holster companies but they have never lived up to the hype for me. Just too bulky and ride too high. AnR holster always hits that sweet spot for me rides and conceals perfect. The best set up for me is a AnR holster with a DCC mono block clip and a diy wedge . I hope if you are reading this it has help you out.

Got this for my Arex Delta M gen 2. Very happy with this product. This gun/holster combination actually allows me to AIWB moderately comfortable for the first time. Shipping was a bit slow because ANR was setting up a new shop, but this was communicated to me and they gave me free expedited shipping on my order when it was ready. Excellent product.

My ANR collection includes two of these IWB beauties…one for a Glock 17 and one for a Sig P226. Meticulous detail to construction coupled with prompt and precise customer service keeps me coming back for more.
Do yourself a favor and invest in the best.

2nd holster I got from ANR. Great quality and secures well. I purchased the IWB holster with light for my Sig p365 X-macro Tac-Ops. TO NOTE! I added an extended manual safety to it. Choosing the holster option for my specific gun, the mold was not made to full except the manual safety version. The gun will slide in easy with the safety down but hits the holster when the safety is on. (This doesn’t matter if it’s extended or stock since the length of the safety is the same). This wasn’t a major issue as I just used a heat gun to reshape the sweat guard a little to fit it. With all that in mind, I would still recommend the holster for a p365 x-macro tac ops.
Zack Adams (verified owner) –
Have bought holsters from about 5 different companies. All of them have been serviceable and done the job, but none quite as good as this one. This holster conceal my weapons better than any other holster and does so while being extremely comfortable. Plus the team at ANR is always phenomenal and responsive. They have a repeat customer in me.

Thank you Zack!
Cody B (verified owner) –
This was my second holster from anrdesigns. Best appendix holsters out there! Quality and comfort in both my 43x and 19 w/ tlr7a holster. They conceal very well and don’t even realize you are carrying appendix. Use both the polymer and metal clip and either way you go these are my go to holsters for any day of the week 365. Would recommend to anyone looking to get one.
Nathan (verified owner) –
Love the holster retention is good and the fit for my MP 2.0c with CMR 208 is great. However, the plastic on the inside rubs off on my light and muzzle leaving marks on them when I draw and holster repeatedly it can be excessive. Other than that it’s a great holster.
James Preiss (verified owner) –
This is the best holster I’ve ever bought. I have the physique of a hungry skeleton and I can conceal a full sized Glock with this holster with no problems. I highly recommend these holsters to anyone in the market for one.
Allen S. (verified owner) –
My first ANR holster and I’m impressed. I will definitely buy more from this company in the future. Honestly never heard of ANR until I purchased my CZ Shadow 2 Compact and googled where to find a holster for it and ANR popped up.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
We appreciate your business and taking the time to review!
Kobe (verified owner) –
Fairly disappointed with this holster for my CZ-P10S expecially considering how long it takes to ship. There is a long skinny piece on the back that is incredibly uncomfortable and jabs into my torso anytime I try to sit or bend over. The retention of the holster is good, and light option fits well.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
Are you carrying in the Appendix or on the 12 O’clock? Is there a gun in the holster? The sweat guard shouldn’t poke you when the gun is holstered. Personal question is, is your belly folding over the gun and rubbing the rear sights? because the sweat guard is ALWAYS shorter than the slide.
p.whitten (verified owner) –
Excellent holster company! The customer service department is awesome and the fact that they offer a lifetime warranty is dope.
René Marro (verified owner) –
Full disclosure, I’ll not a fan of strictly Kydex holsters as they aren’t very comfortable to start with. A holster like such as a Stealth Gear, Foxx of Crossbreed are way more comfortable however, holsters for a Sig P365X with an Icarus grip module are difficult to find. I selected a quick ship holster but quick ship it was not. Took weeks before it even shipped. I sent an email after seeing new sales offers for holsters even though they said that they are running behind schedule. Why would you push sales if you are so far behind? Slow down your sales and catch up before offering new sales. Customer satisfaction is way more important!!! Won’t order again.

Bought this for my Sig AXG Pro and its fantastic. I could instantly tell it was a quality holster the moment I took it out of the packaging. It somehow makes a full size weapon comfortable. Would not hesitate to recommend ANR to anyone who conceal carry’s.

First was AIWB with claw and Alias for P365 and Icarus Precision that I liked so much I ordered 4 more all with Alias 3 light bearing. 226, P-01, SP-01. Excellent fit and finish. Quality products worth the wait.

Does not look like the photos, loose fit.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
Have you contacted customer service through the contact page with your order number as the subject? Have you tightened the retention screws on your claw to increase retention? A XC1 is a smooth body light and has very poor retention capabilities.
Colton Riley (verified owner) –
Got my ANR Design holster in today for the P10c with a TLR7A. Fit and finish is perfect. Absolutely love that it fits perfectly flush with the muzzle and a very slight wrap around the light lense.
Retention is fantastic. With a WML, you generally will not get that satisfactory “click” when reholstering, but there is a slight “click”.
The appendix wing can rotate I’m assuming 15 degrees or so,which is VERY cool and I’ve never seen that before. It also came with 2 different sizes for wing depth. Also a nice touch.
I did switch out the fold over clip that it comes with with a Discreet Carry Concepts monoblock, which is in my humble opinion, the best IWB carry clip out there.
All in all, very happy with it. Received in roughly 4 weeks or so, a week of which was USPS dickin around per usual.
9/10. Lost a point for not offering the DCC Monoblock with the build.

It was difficult to find a holster that fit my gun and light. This one fits great and is working out well for me thus far.

Absolutely the best holsters I’ve purchased. I have four, one for an SP-01, Glock 20, P10c lightbearing, and most recently a Glock 48. Super comfortable, great concealability, super high perceived quality (feels really durable but I don’t bash things) and of course they look super cool.

Initially I bought this because ANR was the only company I could find that offered an AIWB for my M&P 2.0 with 5 inch barrel and a TLR-1 HL. I’m blown away by how perfect this holster is; the quality of materials, the overall dimensions, the way the gun fits, the attention to every single detail… Nothing was overlooked. Retention is firm, yet drawing is smooth and there isn’t the slightest hint of rattle. The claw does its job remarkably well. I’m 5’9” 200lb with a bit of a beer gut. I have absolutely no printing through a T-shirt and no major issues sitting. I’m beyond satisfied with my purchase.
Dylan Phillips (verified owner) –
I currently have 5 holsters from ANR and they are all great. The fit and finish of each holster is top notch while still maintaining a minimalist profile. Im 5′ 10″ 170lbs and I conceal a full size P320 and P10F on my appendix with just a t shirt. The gun disappears, these holsters are that good.
Paul 49 (verified owner) –
This was my third AIWB holster from ANR Design who have become my go to supplier not only because of the quality of the holsters, but the strong customer service. They worked with me to get a holster for my Frankenstein gun, an Sig Fuse upper on an Icarus Precision grip frame. It fits perfectly, draws readily and snaps confidently in when reholsterd.
Jacob Lane (verified owner) –
I own different holsters for my different handguns, but I think ANR just found themselves a lifelong customer after my recent purchase for my FN 509c. It’s easily the best concealment and most comfort I get out of any of my holsters. The retention is a little (VERY minimal) to tight for my preference, but I’m going to let it break in a little bit before I contact their customer service regarding retention adjustment.
Side Note: Not sure why it happened, but ANR also added free “rush” shipping to my order. I’m not complaining!

I’ve only had the holster for 2 weeks, so far best hiding holster I’ve ever used. I carry a sig 1911 full size with a tlr 1 and 10 round chip mckormic mags. It’s huge and I’m a skinny guy. I was never an appendix Carry guy till I started running this gun and realized how hard it was to hide this on my hip. I’ve used several holsters and so far this is the best option I’ve found.
Isaac Valladares (verified owner) –
Honestly was not impressed got one for my fnx 9 with an apl light and aside from how high it rides there is absolutely zero retention so I’m constantly worried about my gun falling out, then it also rides really loosely even after fully tightening the retention screws all the way so it kinda wiggles around in the holster which ends up disengaging the safety so all in all for something that ended up costing me just a little under $80 would not really recommend to anyone

Don’t let the 4-star throw you, these are the best IWB holsters, and I’ve wasted a sizeable amount of money trying other brands. This is my second ANR, because the first (for my FN503) was absolutely perfect for appendix carry. The second, for my Springfield XDS, also fits beautifully, and doesn’t print. My ONLY issue, is with this second holster, where it leave over an inch of my slide exposed to my abdomen. Not that this is a fatal flaw, but it won’t be good for the finish over the long run, hence the 4-star rating. I hope ANR will fix this in the future. All in all, there are no better products available for your IWB holster needs. I have 2 more handguns I’ll be ordering for this Fall. Oh, did I mention how damned comfortable they are??

My name is Jose. I purchased the Beretta inside waistband CNC appendix with claw the color that I choose was the Neptune. This is an amazing host if fits perfectly nice and tight I will recommend this holster to anybody. I purchased the same holster from another company when Iclaw the color that I choose was the Neptune. This is a amazing host if fits perfectly nice and tight I will recommend this holster to anybody.

Giving my (2nd) purchase a three because I want ANR to change the design for the smaller holsters if you don’t order the claw. Purchased for Sig P365. The quality is great and my 1st holster from 4 yrs ago fits fine and looks great. New holsters have a claw which I didn’t want but the holster cut is the same claw or not regardless. Old one has a bevel cut from the barrel to the finger guard and new one is squared at the bottom. The Square digs into my leg when sitting. I believe it’s specific to this small gun and like this company as their support team has been very responsive (old holster is great). The 3 star rate again is because online pictures show a beveled cut from barrel to finger guard and for this specific model (p365) I got a squared cut that digs.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
Thanks for your feedback, instead of giving here. You could have always reached out to Customer Service through the contact page and asked for help (prolly could have shaped it for you). You can round it with green scotchbrite pad.

I’ve had holsters from just about every major manufacturer for a verity of different firearms and none of them fit and ride as good as the ANR does. In the past with some single clip holsters I’ve had they ride to high in the belt and move around to much, not this one. It stays put and sits at the perfect height in your belt line, easy to get to your gun fast but still conceals great. 100% would recommend to anyone looking to conceal their firearm safely and comfortably daily.
J T (verified owner) –
Holster is fantastic, the kickout a bit uncomfortable so I removed it.
My only critique is for a “quick ship” was not what I expected. Took 18 days to receive. Not what I expected for a pistol I carry daily, but I guess everyone’s definition of quick is subjective
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
We had some material delays and are all caught up now, sorry for the inconvenience and your patience.

What’s there to say, ANR Design is the way to go! From comfort, look, quality, fitment and most importantly the customer service, they definitely know what they’re doing over there. I have different holsters from other top companies and this one became my favorite from day one! Ask questions they’ll take care of you no problem. Make sure to check out their YouTube channel most questions that you can have you’ll find answered on there. Also check out the IG page he’s always asking us for questions and he responds no hesitation (trust me, I’ve asked a bunch). Don’t think about getting one, just do it. There’s no going wrong with this company! Many thanks to the team at ANR Design for always taking care of me!

Patrick B (verified owner) –
Love the IWB with claw. It is flawless and the fit it spot on. I’m a lefty and the fit on my anatomy is such that the best location 6-12, is about a 7. It centers over my left back pocket and it’s great. Unfortunately there is no way that I can carry at the 10, 11, 12 positions and 9 is hard to conceal. 7 an 8 work, with 7 being the best for me. No rubbing problem sitting or standing and it’s remarkably comfortable. Thanks for a great product.
Kevin (verified owner) –
I am extremely satisfied with this holster! I had what I thought was a strange combo, (xd with tlr1hl) and was shocked to see the amount of combinations they have. I got the holster extremely fast too! I’m 135 pounds so carrying a full size frame with a light can be hard, but its perfectly comfortable with this holster and conceals fine. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely purchase another for a few other firearms!

I purchased one of these for a Glock 19 with a streamlight TLR-1. This should have been my first purchase but unfortunately was my 5th. After four other holster companies let me down all with similar retention and fit issues, I reached out to ANR on IG expressing my concerns. He responded in a timely manner and took the time to address my concerns and troubles with other holsters. Also advised me on waiting till the cnc drop became available for this gun/light combo. Let me tell you it was worth the wait! They hit it out of the park with this one. Buy one you will not be disappointed if you are running this combo! There customer service and products are top notch! This holster makes the others I bought seem like you are putting your gun in a bucket. Thanks again for a great product and great service !

I have several of the IWB mini olight bearing holsters that work great. The quality of kydex and construction is top-notch. Retention and draw are superb.

Benjamin King (verified owner) –
If I’m being honest, I’m not super impressed. The kydex is a bit thin and cheap feeling. The screws on my claw were loose which isn’t a big deal, I just tightened them but it speaks to workmanship. The tightness of the “fit” on the pistol is weird. It rattles when I’m moving and isn’t as tight as I expected. I ordered it over the holidays so I kind of expected it to take a bit but it ended up being over 3 weeks to delivery. I am in the middle of nowhere Texas so a bit of that is just to be expected. Just seems longer than I expected. I have a Muddy River Tactical holster for my sig 365 AXG. This is just me but I like my 365 with the Icarus grip more than the AXG but I’m carrying the AXG more just because of the holster. Still nice but not my favorite.

I bought my IWB for my FN 503, through the FN website, because I couldn’t find a rig I liked anywhere. Got this and was instantly in love with it. Top quality construction, and with the claw, there is zero imprinting, and its’ very comfortable. Now that I’ve found the manufacturer, I’m about to order 2 more for my other carry guns.

I recently purchased the ANR Design Appendix Lightbearing IWB with Claw from Renaissance Firearms and it immediately became my EDC. I almost forget I’m wearing a Glock 19 with Streamlight TLR7A. The clip retains very well over a 1.5″ belt and the claw makes printing a non-issue. I also purchased a Deep Concealment Pistol Magazine Carrier and together these two items are a huge improvement in comfort and mobility over the sidecar style holster I was previously wearing. That I get to support an awesome local New Hampshire company is just the icing on the cake.

After getting a optic on my G48, my holster wouldn’t work. I’ve had ANR recommended by several friends but hadn’t had the need to try them out. So I gave them a shot. Glad I did, and I’ll be coming back for more.
Damian (verified owner) –
My first Kydex AIWB holster and couldn’t be happier. I’d been following ANR on Instagram for some time and decided to go with them when looking for a holster for my Sig P320 XCompact running with a TLR7. All in all, impressed with how quick I received it from the time of order considering these are all custom made, and also beyond impressed with the quality and comfort. I opted for the monoblock clip and taking it on and off is a breeze but also feels super secure. Retention is just right (but can be tightened up or loosened if needed which is nice) and the hook works well even if I’m not wearing a thick leather belt. Couldn’t be happier and I will definitely be getting all of my holsters from ANR from now on. I honestly forget I’m wearing it sometimes that’s how comfortable this thing is.

I’ve tried a couple of my friends holsters with their respective handguns and nothing really felt perfect. Everything was either too high up or felt too pressed into my body. As a big guy I thought i was doomed to carry uncomfortably forever. Someone recommended an ANR to me so i figured i’d give them a shot. I will never shop any other holster brand again. This holster is just the right fit for me. It’s lightweight but durable and secure. i even tested to see if my handgun would fall out if i shook the holster upside down, as I do have a light attached to my weapon. It stayed in the holster like a glove. I would urge anyone considering switching brands, upgrading, or buying their first holster to go with ANR. Carrying a full size has never felt this good.
-Sincerely a very happy customer.

G21 holster, mag carrier and accessories are all top notch, as usual! The G30 will also fit in the G21 holster (perhaps not the G30S).
Always remember to threadlock the hardware once you have the tension adjusted to your preference.
ANRDesign is my go-to kydex holster maker.

I bought this for my CZ 75C PCR. Holsters for this pistol are scarce, and I was very happy to find ANR. The price was very reasonable and the turnover time was excellent. The holster arrived in good time and in perfect condition.
Carrying has been easy and comfortable with this holster. The draw is clean and it has great retention. I am completely satisfied with this holster and will gladly purchase more ANR products in the future.
Cruz Rios (verified owner) –
excellent fit and finish. Already purchased more holsters for my other guns.

Picked up my first ANR holster and all I can say is WOW! If you are wanting to switch to AIWB, or are already carrying that way but want a super solid rig, look no further. I’ve been carrying for nearly 2 decades and AIWB was never an option due to holsters that were uncomfortable. I figured if I wanted to make the change, I should buy a rig designed from the ground up for the purpose. I am sure glad I did. My P365XL has never carried more comfortably. Any new holster I buy will be from ANR! Yours should be too!
Jonathan Kerekach (verified owner) –
Definitely a great holster. I run a Agency Comp on my 19 and I got lucky and it fits perfectly. Also being a bigger guy, this holster is perfect for appendix. Absolutely love the quality, will definitely buy another

I bought IWB Holsters:
AIWB light bearing with claw:
Carbon Fiber Foliage
Carbon Fiber Blood (x2)
Crye Multicam Alpine
Carbon Fiber FDE
Mas Grey
If you’re just starting your journey finding the right holster, you know there’s a lot of choices out there that kind of leave a lot to be desired. I won’t name names but there are a few companies that absolutely rock and this one is my number 1 choice. I have 7 different holsters from ANR Design for various different platforms including various different magazine holsters and it really doesn’t get any better than this. Perfect retention, they sit right where you want them and they look incredible with a clean fit and finish. These days, everyone seems to want a micro compact and tells you that fullsize can’t be carried but they are wrong. ANR’s holsters make it so that even a fullsize feels comfortable to carry without printing. I always spring for the DCC monoblock as it locks in easily and remains secure all day. The finishes are outstanding even on the plain single color options. Carbon Fiber Foliage and Mas Grey are my favorite patterns unless I want to be tacticool with the Crye Multicam Alpine but you literally can’t go wrong with any color. Even the plain black looks great. Additionally their service is like no other in the industry and they make sure they deliver the best products around. Even manufacturers have entrusted them to build holsters for new launches so you know they’re held in high regard as the best in the business.

thank you so much for this in-depth review Agustin
Justin Martinez (verified owner) –
I’ve bought several of these holsters for my different pistols over the years and they are outstanding! I had one crack after years of use and it was likely because I changed to solid bushings to use a neomag T post instead of using the rubber ones the holster comes with. Great product, the fit and finish is always been great. Ive got another in the mail as I type this.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
Justin! Thanks so much for the review!
Kyle Spitzer (verified owner) –
Bought one for my CZ P10C. Fit and finish is second to none, extremely comfortable IWB Appendix even seared with my gut in the way. I will definitely be buying more for my other pistols as well as OWB holsters. You won’t be disappointed.

Excellent IWB holster. Fits my SCCY CPX-2 with red dot optics to a T. Conceals well. Retention is excellent and adjustable. Well made holster. I would recommend this holster.
David (verified owner) –
Got the ANR P80 Compact IWB light bearing with RMR cut and suppressor height sights in standard black kydex. Been test driving it a week. I have 4 other pistols, each with 2 or 3 holsters. This is one of the best fitting kydex jobs I’ve seen, arguably the best. And that says a lot considering the weapon light makes the job all the more difficult.
The little details in the fit are all spot on. For instance, with the P80 holstered, the cut out at the bottom where the light and barrel crown end is perfectly symmetrical, where both sides of kydex hug the weapon light ring and barrel tip evenly. I’ve seen subtle fit issues with other brands where one side of the kydex sandwich is closer than the other. Quality press job. The holster locks perfectly with no jiggle and a crisp click into place, yet the weapon is easily extracted without feeling like I’m going to take my pants with it. If I had to find something to even mention as a negative, and this is me really poking around for something to say just so sound impartial, I’d mention the kydex cuts could use a slightly more uniform polishing. Maybe a hint of a rough spot around aggressive corners. Ultra nit pick though and not really a valid complaint, as it doesn’t affect functionality at all. This is a solid holster for a reasonable price. Very happy.
Dp (verified owner) –
Rather nice small design, but in the pants it’s a no go for me. Chafing, rubbing, irritation mean that this ANR design holster is useless and I am going back to a black rhino concealment holster for a p30sk with a tlr7
Overall extremely disappointed.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
Sorry that you’re disappointed. Carrying a gun is not easy feat. Proper garments, placement on the body, and knowing the fragility of your own skin is important. Wear undershirts, apply moleskin to the holster if you need to; heck, reach out to customer service and maybe the offset for the safety can be removed so it may be more comfortable for you.
Kevin Soria (verified owner) –

My first order from ANR. I ordered the Quick Ship Inside The Waistband Holster for my Kahr TP-9-2 and it’s a great fit! Excellent quality and very functional. I had to order the CT-9 model since the TP version wasn’t listed; but it fit just right. Thank you ANR
Christian Macbeath (verified owner) –
So I totally goofed it and ordered a left handed holster when I needed a right handed holster. ANR customer service was awesome! They refunded my original order and sent me back the holster I needed in a timely manner. Great company with great products I’m very happy with my purchase.

Will (verified owner) –
I ordered an ANR IWB holster for my SIG P229 Legion SAO, and it immediately became my new standard. I’ve carried SIGs for a long time and have been loyal to another holster company for years — but after running this ANR setup, there’s no going back. The difference in fit, retention, and comfort is obvious the moment the gun clicks in.
The molding is precise and the P229 Legion SAO locks in with a solid, confident retention snap. There’s no wiggle, no rattle, and the draw is smooth and clean every time. The retention screw actually does something, so dialing it in to your preference takes seconds instead of trial and error.
Comfort-wise, this holster is in a different class. The profile sits tight to the body without creating hot spots, and it stays stable throughout the day — whether moving, driving, or seated at a desk. This is a metal-framed compact SIG we’re talking about, and it still carries comfortably. That alone says everything.
The build quality is top tier: clean edges, correct Kydex thickness, and hardware that feels sturdy rather than “parts-bin.” It’s a purpose-built holster made by people who clearly carry daily and understand what actually matters.
After this purchase, ANR is the brand I’m sticking with. I spent years with other holster makers, thinking that was as good as it gets — but this holster made it clear I was settling.

FN 509 Compact MRD Awesome holster! I’ve had many other high end brands and ANR without a doubt forms the best fit hands down. Their retention is tight and audible, perfect under the stress of quick movement and bouncing, falling etc. your weapon will not fall free unless intentionally pulled from the the grip of their kydex. High quality and highly recommended. Semper FI!

Great holster, the claw helps hide my P80 from printing. ANR will definitely be my go to holster company from now on. I recommend ANR to all of my friends looking for a new holster!

I am a new gun owner. I bought a holster from here and from Tier 1 for my P-07 to compare. I have to say I like my ANR holster much more. The comfort is outstanding. Also, the customer service has been top notch! I will definitely be buying from you guys again in the future.

Based on my prior experience with the quality, durability and comfort of my Kydex holster for my Ruger SR9c, ANR was my go-to for my S&W M&P 45c. Added the 10 degree kant (depends on the firearm and I’m happy with the decision) and Carbon Fiber. Retention is great. Won’t fall out and easy draw. What more could I ask?
brett3124 (verified owner) –
Ordered for the CC9. Ive owned allot of holsters including the ridiculously priced ones. This by far has my favorite concealment claw design.
For the price the holster is built like one of the 100+ dollar ones you see people glazing all the time. Only thing I recommend is grabbing a wedge for the smaller holsters.
Waylon GD Jennings (verified owner) –
Mine is still pretty new but it fits my Rex Delta perfectly!
It makes it disappear!
Great retention, and comfortable to wear when sitting and driving.
I drove 4 hours 1 way with it over Labor Day weekend.

I’m in love with my holster. I got one for my fn 9c and it’s amazing They even polish the edges of the holster so it doesnt rub you. I’m ordering more for all of my carrying pistols. 11/10 reccomend. Also great customer service.
cvelme1999 (verified owner) –
Great high quality holster. It was my first time buying an ANR product and i was not disappointed. One thing that drew me to try ANR holsters besides a friends recommendations was the wide selection of left handed holsters with quick ship options.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
thank you!
Isaac (verified owner) –
I’ve always carried a revolver at the appendix or a subcompact at the 4:00 and never really found something that worked for a Compact or duty size handgun. I’m a bigger guy so appendix can be tough. That being said this holster is one of the most comfortable I’ve ever carried. I can carry my Arex Delta with the extended 17 rounder and the plight pl mini with no more effort than any other of my carry systems. The claw really pushes the grip back towards your waistband but with enough room to still be able to get a good grip. The retention is perfect and the edges of the kydex have been smoothed out so there’s no sharp bits digging into your soft bits if you catch my drift. Wish I had been less of a cheap skate earlier in my carry journey and just bought one good holster for all of my guns instead of 5 or 6 crappy ones. Maybe now I won’t feel so bad about throwing away the cardboard box full of unusable holsters that’s been sitting in my closet for years. To AnR Design, you have a customer for life!
Thanks

Justin Rackow (verified owner) –
It’s a good holster. I have one for my Glock 21 with a stream light TLR-1. However. I paid half the price for basically the exact same holster from another company, and I like the other one better for a couple reasons. The holster I purchased from ANR does not have an audible “click” when secured, and it did not come with any options for Clip style, for example, IWB belt loops, or a tuckable clip. Again, this is a very good holster, but you can get a better one for half the price elsewhere.
Nick (verified owner) –
This holster is QUALITY! The adjustable claw attachment is so helpful for concealability. I only bought this holster because my Glock 30S does not have many light-bearing holster options on the market. In fact, this was the only online option that I could find. But my low expectations were blown away. I would buy this product again based on its own merits. Just buy it; you will love it.
Justin (verified owner) –
Very comfortable for appendix carry with good concealment for X-compact. My favorite AIWB to date. Nice work, guys.
Chandler Hejda (verified owner) –
Have many holsters from many companies including IWB Kydex from very known companies. This minimalistic approach is perfect. It’s not bulky. It’s comfortable for a 120 pound boney guy with a 19x. Will for sure send all my buddies this route.

For my first holster I really had no reference but upon first impressions I really like it! Retention is good, the screws were easily adustable. No sharp edges or plastic burs, everything seems to be well made. One thing I wasn’t expecting (my own fault) was the concealment claw needing to be tucked into the wasteband and manually untucked when taking the holster off. Not an issue, just an unforeseen thing to deal with. I’m carrying around 1:00 appendix and that seems to be the most comfortable but I worry about long term comfort. Though I was going into this knowing appendix carry is very hit or miss depending on your body type, I’m fairly broad shouldered and around 6′ tall on a good day, I’m not obese by any means but I have a little bit of a gut going on which could be easily dealt with, I honestly thought my stomach would be more of an issue. The only time it’s noticeable is when I sit and have the gun resting on my stomach and it pushes further forward when you sit in a chair. With the right size pants and a good belt I can sit fairly comfortably, though the muzzle end of the holster can dig at the inner thigh area a little (Glock 19 Gen 5 for reference). Though I suspect this would be less of an issue for thinner people since I have pretty sizeable legs due to working out. One thing I was not expecting was the coloring, which again was my own fault but I’m not disappointed. I ordered the “OG Woodland” or M81 Woodland camo patter to match my USGI M81 boonie that I like to wear. having them side by side the black and brown are almost dead nuts on, but the green is a but brighter and the tan is almost a sand tone. Nothing big to worry about since it’s concealed 100% of the time you are wearing it anyways. I understand that they use a base color kydex sheet and then print the other colors on top, so the base for this hoslter is the sandy tan color, if you don’t like that, then I would suggest a different pattern if you are anal about color accuracy. I however am not so it’s not a big deal. With my holster I ordered the steel clip and as long as you do your part and use a proper belt (I use Nexbelt) then this ting isn’t going anywhere, the steel tabs have pretty good grip on the belt but are springy enough tomove them out of the way and adjust as needed fairly effortlessly. The gun with a flush fit mag conceals easily though tight shirts may be an issue if you wear solid colors like I do a lot. Overall I would give this like a 4.8/5, very good holster!

I am no stranger to ANR’s quality when it comes to holsters. I ordered this one for my Sig P365X Macro w/ TLR7 sub. Fits PERFECTLY and looks amazing. Great retention with extreme attention to detail. Beautifully trimmed and assembled. The belt clip UPGRADE is a must. It retains better with any kind of belt, easier to put in and take off, and very comfortable. 10 out of 10!

eodbrady (verified owner) –
Absolutely outstanding. This was a custom job for a Steyr C9A2 w/TLR-8 and it was definitely worth the wait. Customer service was great, answering all my questions about a custom job. The holster fits the pistol perfectly and I have had zero issues with drawing and re-holstering when I do my CCW drills at the range.
John (verified owner) –
Great holster. I’ve used T.Rex arms and Stealthgearusa both in appendix carry with success, but I’ll only use ANR design from now on. They offer boltaron for a small price increase, which not many others have and it is a superior material in my opinion. Also, they have more gun/light combinations than most others do. I’ve been carrying with mine for more than a month without issue, the fit was and still is perfect, and the price was comparable to others. No reason to go anywhere else until someone reinvents the wheel.
Tim K (verified owner) –
I have two so far, m&p 2.0 with a TLR1 and a shield plus with a tlr6. Retention on both were spot on right out of the box. Ordered claws separate because I over looked some details, that’s on me. I like them so much I sent my shitty knife in for a custom sheath.

Caleb (verified owner) –
People say that you will try many holsters before you find one that fits just right. Well I was fortunate enough to have found ANR design as my first holster and I will never buy another brand as long as they are around. Since then I have purchased 5 of their holsters in various configurations and I have convinced many of my friends to get them as well, and they feel the same way about them. There are constant updates and innovations with their products so your not getting an outdated stagnant product. If it is a proven enhancement and not a gimmick then it’s probably on an anr holster. Your not only getting an holster though with a purchase. You are also getting supported by one of the best customer support teams that I have ever dealt with. I have had questions answered by the owner (Alex) on weekends which I was not expecting to hear anything back until the next business day or 2. Also if you follow their Instagram page Alex does regular Q&A sessions about anything and everything industry related and often unrelated. These Q&A sessions have been very influential in a lot of my Major purchases because he has an opinion that I trust since I know he is not pushing someone’s product. To sum it up. If you are looking at a holster and have the money to spend on something quality. Then Look no further and you will never look back.
Nathan Crocker (verified owner) –
First off I love the holster. It will take some getting used to since I am new to appendix carry. My first impression was the high quality. ANR does not have an option for my Springfield XD Mod2 4″ Service Model in 9mm. However, it is the same size as the XDM. My light bearing holster fits my Mod2 like a glove. It is bulky, but that could be due to the size of the firearm I’m and carrying AIWB. For me, it’s perfect if I will be walking or on my feet for a while. Bending over or squatting down with it is not comfortable. I will continue to wear it and hopefully get used to it. Thanks ANR for the top notch holster.
James (verified owner) –
Been using this holster for about 2 weeks now for my CZ 75 PCR and it is by far the belt holster I own. Saw Tim from military arms channel on YouTube recommend this company for his cz 75 and will be ordering holsters for my other carry guns in the near future.

Tim Grueschow (verified owner) –
I said it on social media. I’m not sure how kydex can feel better from one vendor to another, but this holster feels really nice. Everything is snug, and in a vast world of kydex holsters, it just feels … better. Maybe it’s me, just because I have a new holster, but maybe there’s just that ‘something’ in the way they do it. *I’m possibly just brown-nosing a little*. Anyway, I love the holster, and it these guys were the first… that I found, anyway… to offer a holster for my pistol / light setup. Other companies have been slow to updated the light-bearing holsters, and these guys were on it.

With this holster and the S&W Bodyguard 2.0 you no longer have an excuse to not conceal carry!
Pro Tip: If right handed, order this holster in left handed configuration, and carry in the small of your back.

I have a couple ANR holsters already and went with Alex and the team again when going to a smaller pistol for easier concealment. I bought the light bearing IWB for a P365XL and it is extremely comfortable, fits the gun and light very well, and was received quickly. I upgraded to the DCC Monoblock clips this time and actually like them more than the regular clip. I drive long distances every week and the key for me is comfort. The holster melts right in so I don’t have the grip or Kydex poking my side the whole ride. Would highly recommend.

This was my 3rd holster from ANR, all IWB w/claw. Two CNC and one hand made. The quality of each is the same, I will not (and have not) hesitate to send people looking for a solid holster to ANR.
The addition of the Monoblock belt clip has taken it to another level, one I didn’t think was possible.
As I gather more gear and assemble a belt, I look forward to getting a holster from ANR for that as well.

First I’d like to compliment one of your customer service agents, Dre (I think I got the spelling correct, if not I apologize). She was superb and went out of her way to get this shipped super fast. I needed it for a night match and she promised it by Thursday or Friday and she got it to me on Monday or Tuesday of that week. That’s just outstanding customer support and she deserves to be recognized.
The holster was exactly as expected…I’m a return customer and ANR Design holsters are excellent in all respects. never been disappointed. Thank you again for a super product that is tough, durable, well designed, and fit the gun and light perfectly. And thank you again for a customer support that should be the industry standard.

AIWB for P10c with Inforce APLc. Fit and finish are excellent. Love the metal belt clips. Wish cant had options or was adjustable. Also wish they offered a wedge option to help tuck grip and add comfort.
I solve the above by:
– Oblonging one of the belt clip holes to adjust cant.
– Making a wedge with 1″ yoga mat, cut to fit, then glue on with 3m 77 Adhesive or contact cement.
I’ve bought 6-8 ANR holsters for various firearms. I’ve had 2 holsters crack along a fold after a couple years. They’ve honored the warrantee without fail.
Highly recommend.
Agustin Jimenez (verified owner) –
Got this Quick Ship holster for my P365 and it fits great. All their holsters come with a very nice cut that allows for optics mounting. The retention click is unreal and feels so perfect. This P365 specific holster is compatible with manual safety and non safety models as well as XL-sized slides in case you want to swap to a longer slide or comped slide. Absolutely clean fit and finish and I would highly recommend opting for the DCC Monoblock option. The Claw depends on your needs and clothes but better to have it than not. On smaller platforms, I wouldn’t say it’s necessary but on fullsize and compact platforms it makes it sit tighter to your body without printing. The extra barrel length keeps it tighter to your body and won’t allow the grip to move away from your body as you go about your business throughout the day. You really can’t go wrong with one of these and for the price, it’s a killer deal. They even have a lifetime warranty available for just a few bucks more.

Had high expectations, sadly was disappointed.
-The holster wast nearly a month late.
-Edges of the holster are rough.
-No height, angle, or tension adjustment.
-Way too much excess material, causing the holster to be bulky and uncomfortable, I can’t even carry it without excessive pain.
Wish I never bought it. Went with a popular holster brand that I’ve heard good things about, it’s not perfect but I’m much happier with it over the ANR.

2. Edges are brushed to deburr, we do not polish. Brushing is industry standard for high volume holster companies.
3. Retention CAN be adjusted, there are 2 screws that hold your claw, tighten those to tighten the holster. You are correct, there is not ride height adjustment because your belt needs to be in-line with the claw to have adequate concealment.
4. Our holsters are cut to the most minimalistic in the industry. You have a Chicom Micro light with a GIANT QD latch that needs to be tooled for, and because of the large amount of adjustment of that light, we have a general fit tool for production. Buy a better light and there will be far less issues.
5. You never reached out to customer service with grievances or support, and they would have been happy to accommodate any issues you may have had, instead you complained here.

So glad to get a quality holster for my new Shadow 2 Carry that accommodates both the green dot optic and the TLR-7A light. Carries well and comfortable – pretty good for a pistol with substantial weight. I commend ANR Design for being fast to get new holsters out. First I purchased the AIWB for the HK CC9 when nobody else was making anything yet, and not the S2 Carry. Well done.

This was my 12th dofferent holster company I tried. I haven’t tried anything else yet I’ve wanted to just to prove out anr but haven’t wanted to spend money on something when anr checks off all my boxes. Comfort level is superior, fit and finish is superior, looks are superior. The monoblock is great, the alias system is better. I switched all my iwbs over to the alias.

Awesome holster! Solid and smooth construction with excellent retention. Sits at the perfect height for minimal printing yet accessibility, and adding the claw results in a holster that conceals my G19 better than my other holster hides my Shield9, while being more comfortable. It’s witchcraft and I love it.
afbrosnan (verified owner) –
The best holster!! I’ve tried many holsters and as a result wasted a lot of money. Since trying this one out, I’ll be switching all my holsters over!

So i’ve owned one of these for about 8-9 different handguns and every single one was a perfect fit. Finish is phenomenal and worth every penny. No matter what sized handgun you carry, from full sized duty guns to subcompact carry guns, the claw in this makes it disappear. It’s extremely comfortable too. If you have questions, the customer service is by far some of the best i’ve ever come across. If you carry, carry ANR Design!

I have purchased two holsters the last couple of months, and the customer service I received from “Dre” was OUTSTANDING! Her caring and attention to my particular needs regarding the holsters were truly noticeable. She walked me through the purchasing process for both holsters over the phone with the utmost professionalism as she went the extra mile for me. Her personality is beautiful as well.
Dre is a tremendous asset to your organization. And she will be the reason for me to buy from ANR in the future!

I started following ANR on social media for the relentless CZ content, shameless promotion of the pro-2A cause, and the awesome personalities behind this company. After a while, I finally decided to try an AIWB kydex holster, so I ordered one for my P01 with TLR7, and oh man, it was love at first click. I have a lot of holsters (as my wife often reminds me) but this is something special. You can feel the craftsmanship in this holster. The pistol goes in and out smoothly, yet sits securely. Carry went from constant anxiety about printing and retention to absolutely no worries. After celebrating Glocktober, I had to ring ANR again, this time for a lightbearing + optic holster. Same story: perfect fit, superb craftsmanship, and a happy repeat customer.

ANR is still my go to holster recommendation for concealment, however this last quick ship/CNC version left much to be desired. Holster came deformed possibly from heat during shipping. I didn’t want to hassle with returns or customer service though I knew I would be taken care of. I ended up carefully using a heat gun and forming the holster to my pistol. It’s functional but lacks the typical “click” you get with ANR’s non-CNC holsters. Beside fitment, quality and design are outstanding. I wouldn’t hesitate to order another.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
Thanks Maxwell, but always left CS make it right, we design CNC to have the click, so if it doesn’t; it falls under warranty and they will make it right.

Will be switching over from the Incog that i have been using for years. These are great. Very comfortable, even with a full sized handgun. No opinion on the mag carrier yet as i have not used it but the holster has great retention out of the box with no adjustment, its very comfortable and the belt clips are great.

Lots of kydex holsters out there but these guys are the real deal, great customer service and even better product. Don’t waste your time or money with those cheap ass “we the people holsters” or that shit on amazon, support a new hampshire business and get a quality product from ANR.

This will be at least my 10th holster from anr in my opinion they produce a far superior product in an already saturated market.

Alex Costa (verified owner) –
Caleb!!! Thanks so much for the review and the kind words!
chris maga (verified owner) –
Excellent holster! Only reason for not being 5 stars is there isn’t an option to select external safety/no external thumb safety. So for my S&W M&P with no safety, the holster still has the outward formed section in the top to accommodate one. Not a big deal, but it does make the very top of the holster facing the body a little less flat and streamlined than it could be. Retention is at a good level and the holster fits the pistol with the RDS well. I appreciate it coming with a second smaller interchangeable claw for adjustment in carry preference-
baptzmoffire (verified owner) –
Fantastic! Just as described. Heavy-duty, perfect fit for the gun, excellent adjustable retention. The “claw” really does a great job tucking the grip of my gun into my body, behind my right hip. With this holster, my FN 509 Compact MRD with RMR Type 2 mounted is way more concealable than even my tiny Ruger LC9s with no optic. I will be buying more of these for my “gym gun,” which is an LCP II, and any others I might be carrying. Can’t say enough about it. Just buy one.

I have 4 ANR design holsters and they are all great. I ordered a AIWB for a Glock 19 and TLR7A. When the order showed up it was the wrong color but correct with pistol and light combo. I contacted ANR and Jake was a huge help in getting me a return shipment and getting the issue resolved. The new holster showed up and I could not be happier. ANR is my go to holster company.

Outstanding holster. Shopped around for quite some time before going with A&R and I made the correct choice. If you’re on the fence, buy with confidence – they are worth every cent.

Got this holster for my G30 gen 4 and it’s great. Very comfortable, and with the dcc monoblock clip it stays exactly where I want it, and with the size of the G30 it’s very small. I like the retention, and wide selection of Glock models (one of the few that offers this style of holster for the G30 that I have found), for a decent price compared to other high-end holster companies

Easily the most comfortable and effective holster I own. Clean draw and you can wear it for hours

ANR Designs is and has been my go-to maker of AIWB holsters for years. Alex and team simply make the best one on the market. I knew when I recently acquired two Sig P365 X-Macro pistols that are too wide to fit in my “regular” P365 holsters from ANR Designs, that the “Easy Button” option would be to have Alex make two bespoke holsters for me to use with the new pistols. I use Wilson Combat grip modules, and the new holsters fit perfectly as I expected. I’ve moved from basic black to a light colored kydex for my AIWB holsters because it makes a reholster clearing check quicker and more efficient. That’s certainly a personal choice, but again, ANR Designs quickly delivers a high quality holster at a fair price. If you’re on the fence as to which AIWB holster to get, hit the easy button and get ANR Designs.

One of the few manufacturers that had a holster available for my FN 509c, let alone having the option for optics and my light. Great fit, good retention. It could use a soft back, but I knew what I was ordering. Overall great holster!
Jerry Wardrop (verified owner) –
My first holster from ANR Design. I am very happy with the purchase. Not many companies offer a holster for an FN509 MRD w/Olight Mini, and I ran across ANR while searching for it. They promptly answered my pre-sale questions via email, which is ultimately why I purchased a holster from ANR. Side note, another company that was suggested, did not reply. I received my holster within the promised shipping time. I carry between 3 and 4 o’clock position and this holster fits well, conceals well, and it is comfortable, even with the extra bulk of the light and red dot sight. Before I mounted my light on my pistol, I check to see how it fit in the holster. Most holsters have no retention without the light. This holster could hold the pistol without the light. While I don’t plan to carry it that way and possibly not as secure, it is nice to know that it is able to it I was in a pinch. I assume it is an attribute to the craftsmanship and/or good design. I selected the “blood red” and was happy the appearance as well – but as my son pointed out, it is inside my belt line and not seen — looks good anyways. When I need an OWB, ANR will be at the top of the list of possibilities. I would recommend ANR to anyone looking for a good Kydex holster.
Jamey Handorf (verified owner) –
Ordered this holster for my Shield 9. I have this holster for 3 other glock 19 sized pistols, and love all 3. The one for the shield though was a let down. The gun sits much higher above the belt line than my other holsters, causing the grip to print quite a bit. The holster needs to be about 1″-2″ longer to allow the pistol to sit lower on the belt. ANR makes great holsters in my experience, but this was a swing and a miss.

Just received another excellent holster from ANR Designs for my Sig P365X with a Radian Ramjet. True be told, I already had an AIWB holster for the said. However, after comparing that holster with my ANR holsters, I had to replace it with what I believe to be a superior holster . . . and this newest ANR holster is outstanding.

This is the best IWB holster I have ever used. I learned about it during a class at Critical Defense Institute, and now this is the only IWB holster I use. It is comfortable and holds my pistol securely in place, no matter what I’m doing. I recently went for a hike with this holster on and had no issues. As a bigger guy, my abdomen tends to press the pistol grip outwards and cause printing. The claw design on this holster is perfect for that issue and keeps even full-sized pistols well concealed on my frame. I highly recommend this holster for IWB carry.

Great holster for my M9a3! I highly recommend this!

This holster is awesome! I purchased one for my Canik TP-9 SF Elite Combat with an Inforce 3.0 light. The holster came and my gun didn’t fit properly because of the threaded barrell cap which didn’t allow the gun to seat completely in the holster. I emailed customer support and they immediately sent me a label to ship the holster back for a fix. They quickly fixed it and now the holster fits my gun like a dream! Super product and even better customer support!

I heard about this holster in the YouTube video featuring the FN Reflex, which is what I am carrying. The holster quality is top notch, the best kydex holster I own out of many. It is easy to take on and off, which I appreciate. The ride height of the gun is perfect. I was skeptical that the longer holster (The holster is longer than the slide) would work for me: I do not have a ‘tactical muffintop’ (LOL, as the YouTube video states) and was not sure I would need this feature, but it works and is not uncomfortable. It has a nice click and is not too tight either. There are not many kydex holsters out there for the Reflex yet, but it doesn’t matter because this one is fantastic and will be all you need. It is very comfortable in use, and is a minimal design. 5 stars in every way. I went with the standard 1.5 clip, and it is indeed larger than the narrow or tuckable clip options out there, and it can print, but it also functions extremely well and it is exactly what I wanted. If you want to avoid a little potential printing, you can choose a different clip option.

This is my first IWB holster, a left hand model for a CZ 85. Fit and finish are beautiful. The claw is ingenious and works very well to hide the butt. Will definitely look to ANR for additional holsters.
Sean Dougherty (verified owner) –
I like this holster a lot. Small, comfortable, secure, and the claw pulls the butt of my P365XL in nice and tight. The tension was spot on out of the package. I don’t carry AIWB but at 5 o’clock, and this fits nicely, and hides well for my frame. I’m not skinny but am 160# and 5′-9″ so not bony but also with nothing extra to help me conceal. This configuration works very well for me. I only run iron sights.

First holster I’ve purchased for a seemingly uncommon firearm (HK P30) with a now discontinued light (APLc), but ANR has a very comprehensive option selection so I gave it a shot. Received it quickly, fits the gun like a glove, couldn’t be happier. Thanks guys.
Cam (verified owner) –
I purchased the quick-ship holster with the arm and upgraded belt clips for the S&W Bodyguard 2.0. Overall, it’s functional, but it falls short of expectations.
The main issue is that when worn, the belt clip forces the kydex apart, creating a noticeable gap at the trigger guard. The opening is wide enough to fit a nickel, which feels unsafe and also reduces retention slightly. Adjustments don’t seem to resolve the problem. *Note: I added a medium foam wedge, which probably contributes to this issue, but a wedge should be an expected accessory.*
Other holster makers avoid this flaw by mounting belt clips at the bottom, preventing leverage from prying the holster open. I wish this design had followed that approach.
Other than that, it’s a well finished holster. I like how ANR is a local New Hampshire based company.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
We always suggest the DCC or NeoMag Alias over the factory OEM injection belt clip. The DCC isn’t opening a flare to your trigger guard, you may have the retention bushings compressed more than the thickness of the trigger guard. I think you have overtightened the retention, which has a negative effect on safety and retention. Please keep in mind, holster retention in your hand is different than holster retention when it is in the waistband, compressed by your belt. The wedge is 100% opening the trigger guard when worn. We do not design our with wedges as an “expected accessory.” We purposefully designed that holster to have 0.75 more inches in length to aid in comfort and concealment, purposedly so that wedges are not necessary with our shorter muzzled holsters. Thanks for taking the time to write a review. If you believe there is a manufacturing defect issue, please contact our customer service team through the contact page with your order number as the subject.

Great holster. Bought for a CZ P-01 with light and RMR. Overall construction is great, and the raptor claw is in a great position and love that it comes with two depths.
The upgraded discreet metal clip is worth the upgrade and super nice to have. A good holster makes all the difference.

My favorite holsters, bar none. I don’t always carry with a SureFire X300, but when I do, I carry in an ANRDesign Kydex lightbearing AIWB holster
I’ve got one for both my Glock 19 MOS and my P-01 with a SureFire X300 A or B, respectively. Absolutely no complaints about the holsters. Fit and finish are superb. Great retention and belt clip. Printing is minimal with the claw attachment.
You can’t go wrong with a holster from ANR Design. I already have six and I’m planning on many more in the future.

I’m wearing the IWB Claw holster for my sig 365xl with a tlr7 sub, on the very same day i received it i put it on and helped a friend move houses.

I’ve been wearing it everywhere since and it has remained comfortable and concealed.

I purchased one for my CZ P-01 after getting multiple recommendations from the CZ USA Facebook group. Fit and finish are great, and I love that the claw attachment has different sized “heads” to help dial in the rotation of the grip towards the body. I put the large head on and this thing conceals far better than expected for a gun of this size (I’ve been daily carrying a P365XL for the past few years). 10/10, would recommend to others and would buy again!

Deion Valdes (verified owner) –
I’ve had my holster since November of 2020 and I wanted to give it some time so I can really test it out. I’m gonna start with the pros then the cons. The holster certainly feels like it’s well put together. It’s very elegant, it’s not floppy and there aren’t sharp corners that I’ve seen in less expensive Kydex holsters. It holds my weapon well and does not feel loose. The cons. Now I did say it is a tight fitting holster and that it correct, almost too tight. I’ve come to realize certain areas on the holster were tighter than others. In my particular example, the holster was extremely tight around the area of my weapon light and the the front portion of the slide to the point were drawing the pistol from concealment would sometimes cause it to yank my belt more than should be needed and peel material out from the inside of the holster. Not a smooth draw, the draw , nor a smooth re entry in the holster as sometimes the holster would fight my pistol and would require me to readjust my position to get it in the holster instead of simply indexing and sliding the holster into place like the rest of mine without looking. I tried many different things to loosen the screws on the holster however I could not find a happy medium between extremely loose or extremely tight. In order to fix these issues I removed the claw attachment, inserted two rubber stubs from a spare alien gear holster to provide for some modifications on the ANR and to be honest, the mix of green rubber stubs and my purple ANR holster give me Hulk vibes but anyway, I also took a dremel and sand paper to various sections inside the holster. Now the draw is more consistent and I am able to index properly. Lastly for a holster of this price I would have expected a metal belt clip with adjustable can’t. While I may be just splitting hairs with this last one, and each person has their own taste but Vedder holsters for example offers a cheaper holster with adjustable and a metal belt clip. Overall I am satisfied with the holster even though it gave me some trouble.

Picked up my first ANR holster and all I can say is WOW! If you are wanting to switch to AIWB, or are already carrying that way but want a super solid rig, look no further. I’ve been carrying for nearly 2 decades and AIWB was never an option due to holsters that were uncomfortable. I figured if I wanted to make the change, I should buy a rig designed from the ground up for the purpose. I am sure glad I did. My P365XL has never carried more comfortably. Any new holster I buy will be from ANR! Yours should be too!

Every morning I wake up, get ready for my day and put on my holster with my firearm, I know what its like to have a father thanks to this holster. I start to have memories of events that never happened. Things like going camping and being taught how to start a fire and hunt for my own food; or getting yelled at for holding the flashlight wrong while working under the hood of our car. And finally being told that they’re going to the gas station to get some cigarettes and milk only to grow old with the person they always called a “cheating whore”. So thank you guys for this.

It’s a great holster besides the fact there is little retention when the gun is in the holster. I’m afraid if I have to run with my 320 in the holster it’s going to come flying out. For normal day to day activities not including running. It’s a good holster

This is my 3rd appendix from Alex. As usual the fit, form, function are all superior to the other Kydex holster companies. The claw is way more nicer, works better, and you can swap out for different sizes. Really nice click into the holster with adjustable retention. I prefer mine a little more loose though.

Extremely well made and sturdy. Fits my FN509 Full Size perfectly. The audible ‘click’ is quite useful when determining that I have the snug fit necessary in a holster

Great holster, fit and finish is perfect, and good quality Kydex. Retention is spot-on. My First AIWB holster from ANR and I’m not dissapointed just like my OWBs I’ve purchased. I’ve used AIWB holsters from several other brands and this is by far the most comfortable. Note: I go the Dessert Sand and it was considerably lighter than what I expected. Matches nicely my pasty white belly skin. LOL You won’t go wrong with this holster. P365 Macro Comp

Excellent fit and finish for my LTT USP compact. I did have to make a few minor adjustments but those were due to modifications I made to the pistol (extended magazine release and ambidextrous safety/decocker. Highly recommend

My third IWB from ANR, simply awesome! I just love the minimalist design, fits my XL 365 and totally vanishes it.
Not too bad of a turnaround time as well especially during this crazy time we live in.

Bought the non-light bearing IWB for my Arex delta. Very, very comfortable even wearing 8+ hours on a 90 degree day.

I am very pleased with my AIWB holster. I ordered it to fit a Dan Wesson DWX. There are very few companies making holsters to fit this gun. It is a perfect fit. It manages to conceal the gun quite well considering it is a 5″ barrel. I am very glad to see such a good fit as ordering holsters on-line can sometimes be disappointing.

I recently purchased my fourth holster from ANR, and I couldn’t be happier. What do you look for in the buying process?…ease of use website, customizable options, clear explanation of product, fair prices based on your own perceived value. What do you look for in a holster? … secure, comfortable, safe, concealable (all of mine are AIWB) and well constructed. ANR hits the mark on all requirements, and even has value added services. How many production companies have their owner answering questions directly? Giving advice directly? ANR. support small New Hampshire businesses and they will support you.

Was referred to ANR via a friend of mine whom I went to the academy with. Trusted his reference as he was former navy and would not skimp on products for firearms. Thus, I have ordered 2 holsters from ANR and have not been dissapointed. This most recent one though is beyond pefect. Specifically the Sig P365XL with Romeozero RMR + TLR 6 Laser/Light combo. Holster checked off all the boxes and its a beautiful holster but also comfortable. I have always been iffy when it comes to Appendix carry but between the size of the Sig and now the quality of the holster… I am extremely happy. Kudos to the team at ANR!

ANR Design knocked it out of the park with the AIWB claw holster for the Dan Wesson dwx compact. I don’t think people understand how good ANR holsters actually are. You’ll have to buy multiple holsters from all the names that pop up when you google search “best holster for xxx xxx”. You go down the list and and read all these good reviews and you buy 1 here and another over there. You try different belts, different guns. Different gimmicks. Then you settle and think every company makes different holsters for different guns. Some are better for this gun and some are better for that gun.
You can skip all that shit and save yourself a lot of money by getting an ANR holster. Put it next to your other holsters. You can literally see and feel the difference in quality. Fit, finish, durability, quality. It’s all there and for less money than a lot of other holsters. I own Glocks, fn’s, sigs, hk’s, high end 1911/2011’s and I’ve spent 200-300 on holsters quite a few times. My favorite carry guns and most expensive ones all wear ANR Design holsters.
The only negative thing I have to say, and it breaks my heart, is they don’t make a holster for a nighthawk/Korth Skyhawk.

Does not matter how horrible of an experience you might have. Just contact Jake/ Justin through customer service. They will take care of you every time, and if they can not, they will explain why. The CNC holster is one of the best fitting Kydex holsters I have experienced in my wide range of manufactures and handgun manufactures. It is very smooth, typically ” clicks ” into retention unless you adjust it. I would like to see these maybe someday just ship with the mono block clip but I know not everyone will want to pay extra. I am on holster #9 or 10 I believe? Still no major issues other than USPS loosing one. Don’t believe what you might read on Facebook or the web. I guarantee they’ve never tried one of the holsters. Makes my T1 staccato holster feel like an overpriced pocket that tries to be a holster. Eventually I would love to see the list expand more even to staccato/ 2011 frames. Maybe some old school Walthers like PPK- PPK/s, P99.
And for everyone’s sanity. Read the FAQ down at the bottom of the page under about us.

As I’ve been picking up pistols of various sizes to cover my bases I’ve also been picking holsters from different manufacturers. So far each one has had flaws with some being easier to fix than others. This one from ANR has been the most confusing of the bunch with the problem being mostly related to the ability to adjust retention, and a marginal gripe about the belt clip. So the belt clip fought with me for a second but I found if I made sure the belt was even with the top of the pants it clips on, although it does look like it’s struggling a bit. As for the retention, I’ve always found it pretty easy to make a few turns of each screw and get retention where I wanted it, but with this holster I’m either so loose the gun is falling out or the claw is wiggling or so tight that I can’t fit the gun in the holster…I’ve been a fan of ANR’s instagram posts for some time after I believe MAC suggested them, and I was hoping that this holster would live up to my expectations. I want to add a caveat and say that this is the first time I’ve had a pistol/light combo so maybe that’s where the problem is. If ANR has any advice I’d appreciate it, but right now I’m actually using lubricant to help with how much of a death grip this holster seems to have on my pistol if I try to get any more retention out of it.

Thanks for your review. If you are having issues with ANYTHING. Please contact customer service on the contact page with order number as the subject line. It is a much more effective way to seek help than writing a review.

I would definitely recommend this holster. I dont have experience with many appendix holsters but I can definitely vouch for the comfort of this one and the fitment on my m&p 2.0 optics ready compact with a tlr7a.it stays tucked and as tight to the body as that size of a pistol can. I have the floyds magwell and +6 mag extension and I dont worry about it printing at all. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another one for other guns. Price is reasonable and lead times aren’t bad.
Connor O’Brien (verified owner) –
Third holster from ANR. I come back bc quality product snd because their old location was near a suspicious “nightclub” where I met my wife and a slew of more questionable women.
Anyway, the holster – it’s good. I ordered for P365 w TLR6 light (gun is actually the P365X, this is what fits). Cut/finish is well done. OD Green color comes in as shown. Retention is really good on this one, even better than the last two. It “pulls” the gun in for the last 1/4” and has a nice positive click. Belt clip and claw are set at the right heights as is the ride of the gun.
Feedback:
1. I think having smaller diameter screw holes hole in the arm of the claw could possibly be an improvement. Not sure if making them flush to the screw and without slop would create too much pressure on that little plastic part? Personally I’d just like a little less play in the claw.
2. There’s a little mounting point that’s built off the body of the holster for the claw to screw onto. It’s cut into sort of a hexagonal shape. If it’s possible to make those edges rounded instead of angled, it might make for a more comfortable holster.

Bought one for a CZ P01 with a TLR-7A. I am very pleased with the quality and fitment of the holster. It conceals and minimizes printing quite a lot. I did not feel like I needed to look for extra baggy shirts for concealment. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Received my Mas Grey Quickship light bearing holster with dcc monoblocks, and once again ANR has knocked it out of the park. They are my first stop for holsters for anything. I tried a few other brands while waiting for my VP9SK model and returned all of them. I love my VP9SK again because I can finally conceal it easily and not print.

I came up on a great deal for an Arex Delta L and decided to get the M grip and make myself a long slide compact. Then Streamlight released the TLR7-HL and I thought ok that’s a weird combo but those are the specs I want in a light. By some odd enchantment of gun slut magic, ANR has the left handed Arex for the 7-HL, because of course they do, they have everything. Fit and finish great as ever, and they even slightly roll the sweat guard edge so it sits nicely right by the plate and optic. Perfect. Like they had my actual gun in the shop to make it against. I like the new belt clip and wing shoe too.

I have had this holster for nearly 3 years and carry it all day, everyday. It is comfortable, secure and give me the perfect purchase when drawing my weapon. Would not choose any other holster.Seeing that I do wear it everyday, after 3 years, the belt clip did break. This doesn’t mean it’s a bad product, just that I am hard on equipment. However, when I called ANR to submit a warranty claim I was on the phone for a total of 6 minutes and they had a replacement on the way. Can you believe I was on the phone for 6 whole minutes! That kind of customer service is totally uncalled for! Lol And to top it off, the very polite young lady upgraded the thickness of the new holster for no charge. HOW DARE SHE? What an amazing experience with the folks at ANR! Don’t second guess buying from this company for they are top notch!!!! Thanks ANR

The quality, fit and finish of this holster is by far the absolute BEST I have experienced. I’ve used many different brand holsters and these not only fit the firearm the best, they also are the most comfortable. I only wish they supported more firearms with optics and light/laser combos (e.g., Streamlight TLR8AG). But, I can completely understand the demand must drive what is produced to manage costs and maintain the quality that ANR seeks which consistently exceeds all other brands.

I got it for my Sig P-365XL and it fits great, I can also use it for my Sig P-365 (not the XL). The retention clip is great for any pants with a belt but also works well with basketball shorts. 10/10 would recommend.
jvillaverde1106 (verified owner) –
This is hands down the most comfortable, concealable, and well built holster on the market. This is also the first kydex holster I’ve owned where it doesn’t feel like it’s cutting through my skin. It fit’s snug against my body and for once there is no printing. The kydex is thicker than my other holsters and the retention is excellent. If you’re looking for an IWB holster I would highly recommend the Appendix w/ Claw. Stop looking and buy this one. You won’t regret it.
Just a side note, do yourself a favor and watch the video before ordering. Alex answers a lot of common questions.

The entire buying experience is great. The website is easy to navigate with tons of different options for a holster. The processing and shipping times have always been crazy fast. I have 5 anr holsters now and have never had an issue. I currently work undercover narcotics and have carried my p365 xl everyday for over a year at work. The holster conceals amazing with the claw and is super comfortable even for long hours in a vehicle. The quality and customer service from anr is second to none in my opinion. I will keep coming back to this company for my holster needs.

Phenomenal holster with great retention. I’ve now grabbed quite a few ANR holsters, both left and right handed, and couldn’t be more pleased with the quality or design. Even if your gun isn’t on the quick ship list I highly recommend getting one made. It’s well worth the wait.

Just got my holster a few days ago and I’m truly impressed. I have a cz p07 with streamlight tlr 7 holster. It’s very well made and very comfortable to carry plus easy to conceal.

Chris (verified owner) –
Perfect IWB holster for my LCP. I’ve been carrying my LCP in a pocket holster for a few years, and although it’s a great option, I needed something for IWB and I couldn’t be happier. Beleive it or not, the tiny LCP takes full advantage of IWB carry. It’s not just for the big guns! The CF OD “Boltaron” is very sturdy and looks great against the black gun and clip. I haven’t needed to loctite the retention screw, but I may just for peice of mind. It’s been a couple weeks and it hasn’t loosened.
My only gripe is I wanted to order a matching holster for my USPc 45, but the fitment wasn’t supported. Let me know if that becomes an option as it’s my “fullsize” carry option, and has been my Ole faithful for years. Thanks guys, see you soon!
Malachy (verified owner) –
Take this review with a grain of salt because I have only ordered ANR holster. Although on the flip side of that note it’s because I haven’t felt the need to try different holsters. The fit and finish on these are superb. I’ve ordered both the blood red and coyote tan colors; both look great in person. With the claw I am able to carry a CZ P10C with a magazine extension with minimal to no printing…. oh and I’m 160lbs with a 29″ waist so I print REAL easy.
Andy C (verified owner) –
One of the if not these best holster for a nice minimalit slick carry. Have a few now, most recent in Coyote Tan which is just a fantastic look. Also have purchased a few premium patterns and wthout fail they are on point every time. The lone time I had a slight fittment issue, the customer service team was ready to help me out within minutes and had everything fixed up immediately. Awesome product, great team and amazing customer engagement on IG which is huge. Will continue to add to the collection of ANR holsters.

Got my holster today after drooling over these products for almost a year on instagram. I’m super happy with it. it’s light yet solid. My pistol goes in tight and comes out smooth. Drawing is easy to get used to. The belt clip fits my belts with solid retention that grips well without being a paint to get on and off. The color (coyote tan) is great and not too peanut buttery. I could go on but I think I’ll save some words for the next purchase. Oh, also couldn’t wait to go out and put my sticker on my truck window after I got home. Gotta represent. Thanks again Alex and ANR for fast shipping and a great holster.

I discovered anr bc I needed an iwb for the new fn high power. Anr was one of my only choices. That pistol is big, and heavy. The anr iwb did its job well. The holster was so well designed, I purchased a second for a beretta p4 compact. On my first day carrying it i took a nasty fall from a height and landed directly on the gun and holster. I was F’d up, the holster was perfect. I love this holster. I was a fan of blade tech, but their service was horrible and i didnt know better. Now, I went with anr I know the difference! Believe me, all kydex is NOT the same. Go anr everyday, evertime.

I have 5 or 6 of these holsters, my most recent order was for my Glock 19, and it is awesome. Great fit, and the new ANR claw is a step up from the older models, which is saying a lot. The crew at ANR is great, absolutely recommend this, and any product from them.

I couldn’t be happier with my ANR holster. The quality is outstanding, with an excellent fit and finish that exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail is evident, from the smooth edges to the solid retention. It feels incredibly secure, while still allowing for a quick and smooth draw. The material is both durable and lightweight, making it comfortable for all-day carry. Whether I’m at the range or just out and about, it performs perfectly every time.
The fit is absolutely perfect for my firearm, and it provides a snug hold without any unnecessary bulk. I also love how it rides close to my body, making it both concealable and comfortable. ANR really nailed the balance between function and aesthetics here. If you’re looking for a holster that combines high-quality craftsmanship with reliable performance, I highly recommend giving this one a try.

AIWB for P20c with Inforce APLc. Fit and finish are excellent. Love the metal belt clips. Wish cant had options or was adjustable. Also wish they offered a wedge option to help tuck grip and add comfort.
I solve the above by:
– Oblonging one of the belt clip holes to adjust cant.
– Making a wedge with 1″ yoga mat, cut to fit, then glue on with 3m 77 Adhesive or contact cement.
I’ve bought 6-8 ANR holsters for various firearms. I’ve had 2 holsters crack along a fold after a couple years. They’ve honored the warrantee without fail.

This is the 2nd holster we have bought from ANR. I bought one for my wife and her CZ-P07 earlier in the year. She loves it which is why I bought one for my Glock 48 MOS. I would strongly suggest the upgraded metal clips for IWB carry. The metal clips are strong and aren’t as bulky as the traditional single plastic clip. This is a quality EDC holster and will not end up in my grave yard of holsters bucket that I have collected over the years.

I have ordered three holsters from ANR Design and I was very pleased with the first two. However, on the third holster shipment, not so much. The holster arrived with scuff marks and some scratches on the outside unlike previous examples. I believe perhaps the marring occurred from shipping with the mag carriers in the same envelope without any wrapping to separate the two products. The shipping department needs to simply wrap items in paper to prevent the rubbing together in the mailing envelope.
I was going to recommend your products to friends in need of holsters but am now hesitant. I would be embarrassed to make that recommendation and have them receive a blemished product. I believe I am going to pass on future orders and recommendations. While ANR makes excellent products, they need to take the necessary steps to get them safely to the customer.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
Sorry you are dissatisfied with the product received. If you had a blem or manufacturing defect, did you escalate with customer service, rather than writing a review? Part of our service to a happy customer is interfacing with customer service when there is an issue.

I would like to preface my review by articulating that I had worked for a holster company for a couple of years.
I was skeptical at first as to whether or not I was a fan of not having the means to adjust the cant or ride height however, I will say that the ride height on my Cz 75 PCR is perfect. I thought it would be much more difficult to conceal the pistol without the aforementioned means and I was entirely mistaken. I would say this holster, with the claw, allows me to conceal the CZ to the same degree that my holster for G43 (no extensions/flushfit mag) with no claw; further, I would have to carry my G48 (with a comp/also flushfit mags) on the lowest ride height with any of my other holsters with a claw and it still would not conceal as nicely as the ANR holster that I purchased. I am now a huge fan and plan to order holsters from them for all of my other needs/wants. Whenever asked for a recommendation, I will point this way.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –

I bought this for my FN Reflex. I own a lot of pistols and a ton of holsters from Tier 1 Concealed, Black Point Tactical, T-Rex Arms. Love them all. But this one seems to be my most comfortable. I think it’s the claw that gives some separation for the pistol grip. But, I can wear it all day…and comfortable. And, even with a bit of a dad bod, can drive with it, too. I wouldn’t mind them offering different sweat guard options (like the other manufacturers do). No, low, medium or high guard options would be good.
Thoroughly satisfied. Will be buying this for other smaller pistols I own.

Needed an appendix holster for a Browning Hi Power, and ANR is about the only game in town, so tried this product for the first time. Holster itself is great. Plenty of room for extended/wide thumb safeties like Novak’s. Is quite comfortable and conceals very well, with one caveat. The top/front corner of the clip stands very proud and prints a fair bit in lighter shirts. It’s not a huge deal and can be mitigated, but I intend to try the DCC mono clip as a fix. I bought a second ANR holster for a Glock since this one works so well with the Hi Power.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
Body type and clothing choice can change appearance of printing. I carry and Browning Hi Power and it doesn’t print at all. Thanks for the review.

Bought for my sig p365 fuse. Absolutely the best holster when it comes to the fit and finish.
I own a number of other brand guns Glock, sig, M&P, even my hi-power.all of them, tight clean grip.
Lots of great holster companies out there but I like the idea of the owner having a Mechanical engineering background designing these holsters.. it helps knowing every holster will be made precise.

Tim (verified owner) –
The holster is great. Perfect retention, feels solid and feels well made. My only negative (which is mostly me being picky) the holster rotates while I’m walking around and tends to dip the grip of my gun closer to my belt, which makes draws a lot more difficult. I’ve tried a few different belts with it, but it still does it. Not a huge deal by any means, I would purchase another one, just something to consider.

Fantastic AIWB holster. For my Glock 17 and TLR1, which I thought would be impossible to appendix carry comfortably, this holster proved me wrong. It is very comfortable appendix and draw is smooth with perfect retention out of the box. Note: for this reviews complaint about claw interfering with carrying in 4 o’clock position etc…this holster is specifically designed for appendix and says so in description…if you want you could remove claw and carry strong side. Can’t fix stupid I guess. Anyway don’t think any longer and just click buy now! You won’t regret it!

I have bought more holsters than I can count. Yet this ANR holster had been my absolute most comfortable holster I have purchased. As a bigger guy that carries appendix I don’t think you can get a better holster.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
Victor, you’re amazing. Thank you!

Got one of these for my Polymer 80 G19 build. It’s the most comfortable and concealable AIWB holster I’ve ever owned. I’m gonna be buying a lot more holsters from ANR Design in the future for sure. However, I would’ve given it five stars were it not for one small issue. The Brownell’s RMR-cut slide I’m running has some sharp edges where an OEM Glock slide is rounded, those sharp edges dig into the inside of the holster. When I draw my gun, the slide comes out covered in fine kydex dust. Not a big deal, I’m sure it wouldn’t be a problem if you had an OEM Glock slide and I’m sure it won’t happen after the holster is well-broken in.

Got an AIWB for my M&P9 and a deep mag carrier. It’s my first holster but it feels really good.
Somebody once told me: Carrying a gun is supposed to be comforting, not comfortable. ANR busted that myth.
I’ve spent my life around tools, machines, equipment, gear, etc. I know quality from junk. ANR makes a tier one high quality holster.
And for the Instagram crew:
FUCK YOU, CHAD!

Ordered this for the P365 X Macro with TLR-7 Sub. The retention is fantastic and the trigger is very well guarded. The holster is minimal and comfortable.
The IWB magazine carrier does not have nearly as snug retention, but I think it holds the mag well enough. I’ll try adjusting it to get it a little tighter. Definitely not a big concern, but I thought I’d mention it.
I threw a DCC Monoblock clip with no laser into my cart and asked them to install it for me. They not only attached DCC clips to the holster, but to the magazine carrier I ordered as well. The DCC clips are an inexpensive way to make this high quality holster even better.
Lastly, I wanted to mention the waiting period. Compared to most high quality kydex holsters on the market, the lead time was nothing. My holster shipped quick, as promised. Including the time it took to ship to my home, I waited exactly 7 days for this holster. Most lead times + shipping and handling result in 4, 5, even 6 week waiting periods before you can get a proper holster in the mail. I was really impressed by how quickly they got everything out.
The X Macro doesn’t have as many good options as more vetted products on the market like the Glock 19 or 43X, but there’s a handful of companies making high quality appendix carry holsters for it now, and I would absolutely rank ANR among those companies. If you’re considering this option for your X Macro, don’t hesitate. You won’t regret your order.

I’m 5’10”. 175lb and of average build. I have this for my G19 and I absolutely love it. I’m still waiting on my background check for my conceal carry permit, but I have been wearing it around the house as often as possible and I find that I can sit, stand, bend, lean, and pretty much everything a person would need to do while out and about and it’s very comfortable. Here in Colorado, the automobile is considered an extension of your home so I’ve also been able to drive while wearing this in the appendix position and for some reason, it’s more far more comfortable than the other holster I own from another manufacturer, even though they are of similar size and shape. ANR knocked it out of the park with this one. I just purchased a G43 and while I was waiting on my background check, I was on my phone ordering this, right in the gun shop. I can not wait till my paperwork goes through so I’ll be able to use this in a place other than just the home and in the car.

Excellent product. Perfectly fit for my p320 x carry. Excellent adjustable retention with an audible and tactile click letting you know your firearm is secure. Claw placement is perfect and conceals the firearm perfectly even with full size magazines under even a thin T shirt. Happy to support a company right here in the live free or die state. Phenomenal product.

Anr does it again! This is the third holster I’ve received from them and first light bearing. For a G-19 and Stream Light TLR 7a. As expected the fit is amazing! The holster also distributes the weight wonderfully and the comfort of carrying appendix all day is perfect! Folks they do great work so if you are on the fence it is money well spent!

This is an update from a 2-star review made earlier concerning a holster purchase that arrived with scratches. The review was made one week after notifying ANR sales that I have received a blemished product and not receiving a response from them. The review mainly reflected a deficiency in the shipping of the holster unwrapped with mag carriers in the same envelope causing the scratches.
Finally the sales people contacted me and offered to remake the holster and sent an RMA to return the blemished product. So I am completely satisfied with their customer service.
I have purchased 3 holsters and 4 mag carriers from ANR Design. The products are excellent quality, my issue was with the lax shipping. The company informed me that the carbon fiber material I selected for the holsters is more easily scratched and cannot be heat repaired as other kydex materials. So consider that in your material selection if you desire more product durability. I still am impressed with the carbon fiber look. I have recommended ANR to other friends in need of holsters.

Awesome holster, right out of the package it needed no adjustments at all. Holds the gun and light perfectly, and the upgraded monoblock clip was well worth the extra cost. No issues with printing, or any signs of discomfort while wearing it.

This is my second holster that I’ve tried for appendix carry and it is my go to holster. It is more comfortable and I feel does a much better job of concealing a larger pistol than my other holster. I highly recommend ANR and their holsers.

This is a great company that stands behind their work. I have this holster for both the Sig P320-X5 with the Streamlight TLR-1 HL and for the Walther PDP 5″ with the Streamlight TLR-1 HL. It is my go-to carry holster.

Been holding off on reviewing this until I get could more time with it. Like most, dry fire training has now become the forefront with live-fire training just behind it (used to be the other way ’round when ammo was easier to come by and less expensive). Not a bad thing–requires more fine-tuning and attention rather than just zinging rounds downrange.
After reading Stephen’s review (THANKS A TON Stephen!!!!), I reached out by e-mail to see if this would also fit my Beretta 96A1 but with a SureFire X300-UA. Received an answer the next day and decided to purchase. Arrived pretty quickly.
Out of the box, the fit was pretty tight. Ended up placing extra spacers and a little longer screws to give enough room to adjust retention. Since then, haven’t had an issue with it at all and have been carrying every day. Beretta aren’t small by any means and this holster gives enough grip to keep it where I want it but not so restrictive as to delay drawing when I need it. The belt clip stays where I need it but isn’t a pain in the ass to get off which makes it nice when visiting places like courthouses or the like. I can leave my weapon holstered and just provide the whole unit and not have to worry about anyone discharging.
Comfortable to leave on all day–only really notice it’s there when I feel the need to adjust holster location. EDC isn’t a fashion statement–it’s a way of life. Get the benefit of being armed with all the responsibility that entails, including wardrobe.
This thing’s been in rainy weather, sun (had some good days with 100+ heat, which is f-ing rare in the PNW), dust, been rolled on, bumped against doors and walls, and have had zero issues with retention, form, shape, or function. For those of you looking to get an affordable, reliable, and quality made holster for your Beretta pistols, I highly recommend ANR Design. Great customer service by Jake in answering all of my questions. Again, huge shout-out to Stephen for sharing your experience.
I can’t recommend enough. 🙂

Still waiting for my slide to come back from being milled for red dot sight. The holster is just what I wanted and I was also impressed with the customer service as I had a question about the fit of my fire arm as the rear sight will be infront of my optic. I was assured that it should fit but that if it didn’t I could send the holster back and have it modified. I will definitely update you when I have my slideback.

Lightweight and sturdy with great retention. I finally found a holster I can wear comfortably all day long!
Zander Gordon (verified owner) –
I initially bought one for my glock 19 and loved it so much I bought 2 more. One for a P365 and one for a VP9. All three holsters fit the firearms perfectly and have great retention. They are light and sleek making it easy to conceal even larger framed pistols such as the VP9. I have used my glock 19 holster almost every single day now for 2 years and have not had anything break or even loosen slightly. Have never been happier with a holster, highly recommend for daily use. I would also recommend getting the adjustable retention since it is nice to adjust based on needs. While hiking or boating I like to have firmer retention than I would during a casual day walking around town.

This holster makes it easy to conceal my q5 match. Hugs nice to the body with minimal printing. I’ve tried leather iwb holsters from various brands. Nothing beats this thing though. Will definitely buy the rest of my holsters from ANR.

I have 3 ANR Designs holsters for 3 different pistols now. Very happy. I’m wanting for them to cant or angle in a flexible way on the two that are IWB carry holsters. So, I just unscrewed one of the screws on the belt clip and it swivels any which way while remaining secure tight inside my waist belt. Would like it if a flexible angle swivel were a deliberate part of the design. Love the claw and the exact fit and finish. Also love that I can get an ANR holster for so many different weapons.

Found out about ANR through Military Arms Channel and this is definitely a step forward for any serious person looking for the best in conceal carry when it comes to concealment and most importantly when it comes to comfort! I drive a lot so having a comfortable set up is a must and I would like to add that I’m also a drummer who practices SEVERAL hours a week without having to take my gun out of my pants which says a lot for the COMFORT! All this while carrying a PPQ which is not the biggest firearm but it does have a threaded barrel. JUST DO IT AND GET THE BEST HOLSTER AVAILABLE! (ANR of course!)

Bought one a few years back for my Kahr CM9. It came with all the edges smoothed, nice hardware and fit the CM9 like a glove. Being my primary carry I wear this a lot and the holster has held up great. The clip, screws and finish all look and fit like it was when I got it. I’m back here looking for a revolver holster and thought I’d leave a review about how it’s lasted and held up, happy with the purchase.

My 3rd AnR holster (plus some mag carriers). Quality and gun fit is excellent. I love that there are so many kydex colors/patterns to chose from.

Lyle Scrogins (verified owner) –
I Love my ANR. From the Kryptek pattern to the polished edges this thing is sweet. Fit and feel is superb and there is zero play when firearm is seated and comes free and clear when you need it to. Details like cutting the notch for the MRD low so that you can see on to of the chamber to visually verify if there is one in the pipe without drawing your weapon. I upgraded to the metal double dnc clip and I am glad I did as it holds great to thin clothing and belts much better. Im glad I purchased an ANR, it was worth the standard wait time to have a custom holster. Thanks ANR, a cut above.

I’m only one my third holster from ANR, very surprised it’s taking me this long to review. Everything in this holster is superb. I’ve been carrying a Staccato P all winter, now moving into warm weather carry I’ll have a Walther PDP, and carrying all day has been a breeze, even with the heavier Staccato. Do yourself a favor and buy this (with the deep carry mag holster) and put it all together with a quality belt. You’ll never go back. Long Live ANR
Gil (verified owner) –
I got my holster, the fit is the best around! There is no rattling, my pistol is secure and holds perfectly. The claw makes sure the pistol grip is tucked in tight against your body, no matter where you carry, appendix, 3 o’clock, 4 o’clock. I’ll be buying many more Including the NIDHOGG holsters!
John Sue (verified owner) –
I, like many of you who carry on a daily basis, have boxes of holsters. something was just not right with most of them, too bulky not enough retention or unstable on my belt. I can Honestly say that none of those attributes apply to any A&R holster i have and i now have a few of them. they are all comfortable, stable with good retention, not to mention that they look great. I am a convert, and it doesn’t hurt that they are made right here in New Hampshire (Live Free or Die). The service department is also top notch. keep up the great work folks!! Thank you for a great product.

I bought this for my CZ P-10S, RMR and TLR-7 combo. The holster is clearly well made with good forming and finishing. Retention is spot on and the claw / clip height prevent printing way better than others I have used. I have been wearing it a week or so and cant fault it. Three weeks to the day from order to receipt.
Very happy – thanks!

Finally got my holster for my gen5 G26 in and it fits perfectly. It was very comfortable once i finally realized i was a fatass and had my pants too tight. Like Alex said for the g26 in another review the gcode strut clips will be my next purchase to have the gun sit a bit lower to keep my gut off it. I have also learned that having the mag release on the right side even though im right handed my pants can and will press it enough to drop the mag so pro tip dont do that. 10/10 will get me in trouble when i least expect it.

So I found ANR Design because I was looking for a holster for my Arex Zero 1 Tactical Pistol. As soon as i saw all the available options I knew I would be buying it here. Item was advertised as potentially taking 4-6 weeks IIRC, I think it was delivered just under 4 weeks. One note for others, I went with the 1.75 Belt clip, probably should have gone with the 1.5 clip as the 1.75 is a little bit loose on my belt.
Solid Company, Great Product, will definately buy from again and will recommend to friends for an IWB holster

Jay (verified owner) –
This is my sixth ANR holster, this IWB for my Shield Plus and I couldn’t be happier. The craftsmanship and the milling are perfect, which goes without saying on ANR products. The design is just what I need, with the claw pressing the grip to my torso and making it non-printing even with a standard T shirt or buttoned shirt. I’ve tried other IWB’s for this gun, and despite looking the same, all the others placed it too deep or something like that. It was difficult to get a good grip on the pistol on drawing; something was always in the way. I returned them.
But not with this one. I can’t figure out why exactly, but even with the claw, the grip is quickly accessible.
The customer service is excellent, “three Michelin stars” as the French might put it. I have NEVER had an issue with a minor problem, which was always handled with a pre-paid label sent immediately by email, and the refit holster sent back in 10 working days.
And if it’s alright with Adam Painchaud, it’s OK with me.
BTW, one of the reviewers above is right, I, too, can’t find a High Power holster other than at ANR. It will be my next order.

Best retention on the market. Picked one up for my macro with tlr7 and the retention is friggin perfect, as is the profile. Only thing that puts it at 4 stars is I wish I could use utliclips with the holster, but where the stock mounts are they interfere with how the clip sits.

I recently purchased an ANR AIWB holster for an aftermarket Glock. I was a little apprehensive about the purchase since I typically carry OWB. I’ve been wanting to try this option and I’m glad that I did, and more so that I chose ANR Design for the holster. The holster itself is top notch with great retention without impeding the draw. The kydex and hardware are very sturdy giving me utmost confidence while carrying. I wasn’t sure how I would feel about the clip being plastic versus metal but it hasn’t been an issue thus far. When carrying, there is little to no printing even with my less than stellar physique. All in all, I’m very pleased about trying AIWB, and even more pleased I chose ANR Design for this holster option.

You selected the base model clip. We sell other clips that are upgrades and sit tighter to thinner belts. Claw is perfect and conceals great, hence it’s size. We recommend upgrading your clip and you should have no issues.

So far so good! This is my 2nd IWB light bearing holster for my G30, and 1st one from ANR.

Customer service is attentive, and it ships fairly quickly. Overall very happy with my purchase.

Picked up my first ANR holster and all I can say is WOW! If you are wanting to switch to AIWB, or are already carrying that way but want a super solid rig, look no further. I’ve been carrying for nearly 2 decades and AIWB was never an option due to holsters that were uncomfortable. I figured if I wanted to make the change, I should buy a rig designed from the ground up for the purpose. I am sure glad I did. My P365XL has never carried more comfortably. Any new holster I buy will be from ANR! Yours should be too!
Mike Warren (verified owner) –
Love this holster. I added a light to my P365 and planned to get the XL slide, so I took a gamble and got the new holster for the XL. It fit with no issues carrying the light. Secure fit and comfortable. I’ll definitely be coming back for future holster needs.

ROBERT (verified owner) –
The only holster I could find specifically made for the Arex Zero2, it fits perfectly with just right retention. Mold detail is good but not so highly defined and tight as to hinder holstering and drawing or provide wear points. The edges are smooth but not polished. It conceals well and comfortably. It’s not perfect, though. The picture shows vertical mounting points for a tuckable clip – mine came without. The full sweatguard is actually only about a 3/4 sweatguard. More importantly, the sweatguard will not let you holster with the thumb safety engaged. Most will simply carry the gun decocked but some do like cocked and locked. Overall, a good holster, well made, for a very reasonable price.

This holster is my go to carry. I had been searching for a holster to carry my H&K P30 with a tlr-1HL1 and would not find one. I could find ones for just the pistol or with a smaller light, but not the combo I wanted. I saw Garand Thumb’s video on his ltt beretta and in it he recommended ANR Design. I went ahead and asked Alex directly on Instagram for a holster that would fit my HK P30 with a streamlight. This is what he recommended, and it is spot on. I carry only at 3 o’clock iwb and this works perfectly. Ordering was easy and customer service is top notch. Definitely have acquired a customer for life.

Received holster well within quoted time frame. The holster is very comfortable in the 4 o’clock position. This says a lot for a kydex holster with light and a RMR on gun. Much like another reviewer I had to remove the claw and place a C-clip from another holster manufacturer to get the exact cant and stability I was wanting. I blame this solely on myself as it is designed for appendix carry and I was unable to get adjusted to it being there for comfort reasons. I will try again in future and hopefully I can get comfortable with it there as it prints very little and would speed up my presentation of the firearm.
Very well built holster. Will definitely recommend it to everyone.

I just wanted to let you guys know that you do in fact make an absolute phenomenal product. The CZ p01 doesn’t have alot of proper holster options out there and you guys hit the design on the button head. I’m small dude at 5’5″ and 140 after a burger and before my mid-day shit and your holster conceals my compact pistol better then other options I’ve tried.
After dry fire practice I’m able to get a proper comfortable repeatable purchase on the grip every single time. In fact my draws have improved since acquiring this holster.
I work in the construction industry building fences- up and down ladders and bending over all day. I also carry work belt bags often and they rest directly over my holster. After a full day at work in the real world I can say that the holster is also comfortable and maneuverable as I could ever possibly ask for out of a compact size pistol. I do think the tier 1 “side car” style holsters are awesome and have their place but for my life I believe your holster and mag carrier set up has more advantages that better suit my life style. Thanks for a great product you guys!

I bought a holster for my P365 X macro with a TLR 7A. It shipped pretty quickly, it’s really comfy, it’s incredibly sturdy and high quality. The claw on it is the best so far out of the many other holsters I’ve purchased too. I’m extremely happy with it. I switch back and forth between this one and my TRex arms sidecar depending on the situation. As a little side note I installed the neomag T post and alias on the ANR and it’s quickly become the go to almost full time now. The set up is elite in my opinion. Great job guys, I hope I can get a few more people to come your way. I’ve been highly recommending ANR to whoever I can.

Fantastic holster. Awesome retention. Smooth draw. Excellent quality. Love that claw. The tip about using loctite on the screws was appreciated as I had noticed that they were loosening up from all my practice draw’s. Thanks ANR !

Review for IWB Appendix Holster w/ Polymer Claw
Just recently bought my first pistol, a Taurus G2C. ANR came highly recommend by several friends of mine. It’s very well-made, very durable, extremely comfortable, and it doesn’t print at all with the claw. I’ve worn it all day, every day for the past 2 weeks and I’ve had zero discomfort. I will absolutely buy here again.

Quality holster , a bit bulky for conceal carry with the light option , knowing what I know now I should have purchased the OWB option.
Mike Dobel (verified owner) –
The best holster maker out there. ANR are wizards with Kydex. I can carry my P-10C with Inforce light mounted in my new appendix rig with ease. Do yourself a favor and order already.
John Kronuch (verified owner) –
I just received my holster for my p10-c and I couldn’t be happier. I got the first one and immediately ordered a second one for my wife’s sig. The quality is top notch. The hoster fits really well and wears great, very comfortable and unobtrusive. Would highly recommend this holster to anyone. Very high quality product from a very high quality company.

P365xl with tlr 7 sub. I own multiple holsters for this pistol as it’s my daily driver. 3 out of the 5 I have leave a massive gap between the trigger and holster. This holster is one of two that keeps it very tight.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
Thanks Deric!!
Caleb (verified owner) –
Beyond impressed with this holster! I can’t say anything that hasn’t been said already, but I strongly recommend ANR. It makes carrying a pistol with a weapon light comfortable.
Chris Torrez (verified owner) –
So I just received my IWB light bearing with claw holster for my HK VP9 and I have to say I’m highly impressed and pleased with the work you guys do this is more comfortable than some of my other holsters. They got the placement of my old light mini too perfectly the only thing that I would suggest is may be a little bit longer sweat guard to cover the whole slide other than that this thing is absolutely amazing great job and I will definitely be recommending to friends and anyone who asks thanks again for your quality work in a reasonable timeframe if you guys haven’t checked out their products do it

I review for one star, seen they won’t let me post with one to four star. So I review for 5 star. Really ONE STAR FOR THIS!
Holster is perfect I love but wrong side and inside. I request is open carry. They Refused to solved this issue and keep telling me it my fault for wrong order. They calling me annoying guy. This is disappointed/disrespectful me! I won’t do business with you again ever! They’re not professional business!
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
Sir, We tried fixing this with you. You ordered incorrectly. You had confirmation emails with your order summary, you had time to review shipping order summary and almost 2.5 weeks to verify if you made a mistake. You made a mistake when purchasing a custom, one-off, made to YOUR specifications order. We offered a refund with a restocking fee, and you told us to fuck off. You refused to take any responsibility for ordering incorrectly, telling us it was our fault. Human error is human error. We offered solutions, including a discount to a new purchase after the restocking fee. We were not disrespectful. You call us name, and profanities over the phone. That is disrespectful.

10/10 best holster I own. I definitely will be buying more.
Chas (verified owner) –
I’ve been carrying a gun for about 6 years now and the first holster that really fit me well was a tier one with a magazine caddy. I’m a thinner guy and the holster has just been uncomfortable for years but it positively retains the gun and allowed me to carry extra ammunition.
This holster is absolutely an improvement over my last rig. It’s really well made, it’s very low profile, it’s comfortable, and I love having a single clip. The injection molded one and a half inch clip is a huge improvement over two clips. For a couple reasons, one you can remove the gun with one hand, and two, the gun takes up less space on your waistband so you don’t have to worry about straddling a belt buckle with the clips.
Love the simplicity and positive retention! This is an excellent holster and I can’t recommend it enough.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
Thank you so much for taking the time to review Chas!

Recently ordered this holster for my CZ -10s. I have had quite a few holsters for this and other guns. I have to say this is my favorite. Certainly the highest quality, and most comfortable holster I’ve come across.
Also customer support is timely, polite and helpful.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
Thanks Thomas!

This is my 2nd holster from ANR. This one is for a P365XL. Fit and finish are great and retention is perfect. These holsters are my only IWB that see to sit right, meaning it conceals very well sitting and standing. I’ll be back again.

Great holster for everyday carry. Fits my G17 like a glove and superb retention adjustment. Claw is a must for larger pistols and really works for maximum concealment. Will be ordering again in the near future. Fast shipping to Europe and cost to ship is 100% worth it.

I have 2 IWB holsters from Alex and Ryan design and love them. Quality, retention and the comfort are top notch. Customer service is fantastic as well with fast response and attention to detail. Can not recommended highly enough.

Bought a holster for a Glock 19 with TLR-1HL. Works great, was shipped faster than expected as well. Will order again.

Great holster for the first year then it broke. Better spend the extra cash and get the warranty or it will break and you’ll have to buy another one. Like they say the make holsters not kydex. Lasting products don’t exist anymore. Best off spending more than you should to get a warranty.
Adam (verified owner) –
First impressions are very good! Conceals my 5in m&p with x300 and rmr better than my trex sidecar conceals a stock G19, which is nuts. Slightly less comfy but its a big ass gun, not the holsters fault.

Once again, Dre shined, as usual!! As I was attempting to order a holster for my new SA XDM Elite via the website, it would not allow me to add it to the cart. So I called sales and there was Dre, answering my call with that wonderful, helpful attitude, and OFFERED to put the order in for me while I stayed on the phone with her. If you could make a mold of Dre and sell it to all the companies in the world, you would be a Trillionaire. She is not only extremely service oriented, but she truly cares about the customer. She treats you as if you were one of her family members. That’s what a fantastic employee she is. Whatever ANR is paying her, it’s not enough, I’ll tell you that!!!
Alexander Miranda (verified owner) –
I’m like most of you, I have a whole drawer dedicated to holsters. This is my favorite holster of all time. First, this holster was a perfect fit on my FN510. It had the perfect retention and sits perfectly in the apendex position. No printing on a full size firearm while wearing just a tee. The quality was superb, and the matching holster is beyond sexy. I will never purchase another brand, I am completely satisfied with ANR and plan to cycle out every other holster I own. I highly recommend that everyone at least give them a try.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
Thank you so much Alexander!

I have 3 ANR holsters (2 quick ship AIWB) and absolutely think they are the best holster out there. I can carry a P229 more comfortably and concealed better than my P365 in a holster from a competitor. The turnaround was really quick too, I had my holster in 5 days.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
Thanks so much Ed!

The light bearing IWB custom built by ANR is excellent in fit and finish. Where else can you buy a custom built quality kydex holster at the value in which it is priced? I would wager, not to many places.
Sean (verified owner) –
Fits my p229 perfectly and makes appendix carry easy
Matthew Ashworth (verified owner) –
I needed a holster for my P-10c with Olight PL mini 2. Found a few that provided this option. Someone recommended ANR. I had been watching they’re YouTube channel for a while and had no clue. Though not the cheapest they are definitely worth the price. Extremely comfortable, audible click when the light is mounted, and still holds fairly firm without it. I’ve done suggested to quite a few of my friends to check them out. It also takes up less real estate than my crossbreed. Thank you guys for a great product and a quick shipping time. Less than two weeks. I didn’t expect hat right before Christmas.
sweinsto (verified owner) –
This came fast and perfect. The neomag system works flawlessly even with a full size. They have the print of my Glock 34 with light down perfectly. I wouldn’t choose anyone else to put together a holster and have been made a believer over all other duty holsters I’ve run previously. I have no doubt this thing will out perform me, and it’s purple. What’s not to love. Great job y’all, you e got a customer for life.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –

Brandon Manies (verified owner) –
Hands down best purchase I’ve made in a while. I tried one of the cool guy mag caddy type holsters and it just wasn’t for me, and probably the most uncomfortable, unrealistic setup for me personally. Followed them for a while and always loved the simplicity of their holsters and heard nothing but good things so I figured now was the time for change, and I couldn’t be happier. I run mine with the smaller claw option so having a spare sent with the holster to fit your needs was a plus. I’ve literally forgotten I’m even carrying at time it’s so comfortable. Also had a 2 week lead time and I got my holster from time of purchase, to my door in 6 days, and customer service has been great as far as answering quick questions on Instagram, so I’m sure more serious product inquiries will be the same. I’ll be purchasing a light bearing AIWB in the future as well. Can’t recommend this product enough.
lylep (verified owner) –
I own 9 ANR holsters and they are the best in the industry. There are some others that come close but I trust my life with these holsters and that’s the bottom line for me.

Justin Senf (verified owner) –
Love it! I’ve only had a couple kydex holsters so I’m no expert but I do love this one. Fits my 365X with upgraded Icarus grip module perfectly. Went with upgraded metal belt clips which I do like more than the wide plastic one on a previous holster. Attention to detail is second to none. Overall very pleased and intend to purchase more from ANR.

Brought one for my glock 43x and loved it now im buying another for my FN 509C tactical. The first holster got lost with USPS. I had to call customer service a couple of times because they would not answer but they sent me another one since USPS lost the original one.
Logan (verified owner) –
I just want to say that I’ve been carrying a PPQ appendix for a few years now and hating every second of it. I was convinced I needed to scale down to a subcompact gun to keep carrying, and often found myself leaving the house without my gun due to discomfort. I have been tempted to buy one of these holsters and have often settled for cheaper alternatives to no avail. I took advantage of the Black Friday sale and it was the best decision ever. Thanks to this holster I am now appendix carrying a SP-01 Tactical WITH a weapon light and I absolutely love it. Thanks for creating an awesome product. I am now a customer for life and will recommend these holsters to everyone.

ANR makes the best holsters around for any application, this IWB holster has a been a real pleasure to use and I highly suggest you grab one if you are in the market for a holster. Even if you don’t need anything holster you need one of these.
Drew (verified owner) –
How in the hell have I missed this company? (only one state away) I have been rocking this with my P365 for 2 weeks straight and I love the damn thing. Range drills have been excellent! Extremely comfortable, very functional, very solid platform. I see more orders for other weapon systems in my immediate future.
Andres pico (verified owner) –
I have the Icarus Precision grip module on my p365. The fit is perfect. I also have the NeoMag hardware on the holster, which was a good desicion. Very well made.
It took a little long for a “quick ship” order, but it sure was worth the wait.
I’ll definitely order more from these guys.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –

So I was skeptical to try a new holster. I enjoyed my gcode, and didn’t wanna change from what I knew. But boy am I glad I did. I put a pmm comp as well on the 43x, and it had no fitment issues with the holster. Flawless kydex work. Superb CS. I am now a lifelong customer
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
Thanks a lot for the feedback Jacob!
TD (verified owner) –
Very well made and comfortable. Wasn’t sure about the claw, but it makes a huge difference. Love the way it keeps the holster from moving.
John (verified owner) –
The holster fit my pistol perfectly out of the box. It has been surprisingly comfortable as an appendix carry while conducting longer drives (3-5 hours), and of course during normal daily activities. The claw does it’s job admirably and keeps me from printing, even in some of my more shmedium sized t-shirts. Highly recommended, I will be buying more in the near future.
David Taylor (verified owner) –
Continues to hold the balance of retention and comfort. The retention is perfect and does not matter if you’re wearing a regular belt or ratchet/canvas appendix belt- the draw is quick and doesn’t require me to tighten my belt to discomfort. Trigger is always covered and the claw is the right amount of distance from the holster to allow for comfort and decreases printing allowing for t-shirt or button up.
For Reference:
Size 34 pant, 190lb, appendix carry with G19G5mos, EPS, TLR7A. No issues, concerns. Have the G17 quick ship as well for a G19Gen5mos with TLR7A And radian ramjet- covers ramjet. The G19 will fit with ramjet exposed a little bit, but get the G17 if you’re concerned about metal on skin.
Steven Good (verified owner) –
I’m a long time T.Rex arms user (2013-2020) not bashing their product, but they did not offer a holster with the OLight’s I recently switched to. After receiving the ANR holster, the quality is just as good if not better, and the extra cost to get your holster quick shipped is well worth it (holster received in 4 days from order date) also, the concealment claw on the ANR holsters seems to be more effective than previous holsters I’ve had. Super impressed with the product and plan on replacing my other 2 concealment holsters with their product as well!
TYLER (verified owner) –
Quit reading reviews and buy the D*** Holster already! 😀 cant say enough great things about this product! Hands down the most comfortable AIWB holster i own. (Glock 19, surefire x300, RMR, Threaded Barrel) the retention adjustments are great, even to the point that I can dang near lock it inside the holster. The claw is fantastic, and allows me to wear this with a snugger fitting shirt. Does a GREAT job at pushing the grip into the body.
Upon opening the package, I could tell and feel that this is a QUALITY piece of gear! Sweat guard isnt high at all, and the firearm actually sticks up higher than the guard, which i like because it doesnt pinch my stomach.
Absolutely outstanding product from ANR!
Michael Disher (verified owner) –

Holster is great. This is the 2nd anr designs holster I’ve purchased. I love that this kydex was actually built for the 43x mos and not oversized for a 48 like most holster companies. Thanks for the dope gear!
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
Thanks Mitchell
Jon C (verified owner) –
I never ordered from ANR Designs before, but after receiving my holsters I’m definitely a fan. If I need another holster, I will likely get it from here! Great adjustable retention and nice kydex quality.
One thing I will point out though is the claw accessory, strangely it was cheaper to buy the claw hardware separately rather than buy the Claw + IWB lightbearing holster. Huh? Basically an extra $5-10 to have someone screw the hardware together for you. ANR should look into this pricing difference..
Miran Mehic (verified owner) –
One of the first things that drew me to ANR Design was their awesome selection of left-handed holsters for brands I liked, like the CZ P10 and P01. Way back when, it was all custom made at time of order, with a lead time, but because ANR has been pushing themselves to do more, better, faster, and expanding their offerings, ta-da: the left handed AIWB lightbearing in quick-ship! This southpaw was elated. I snagged one for my Area Delta G2 with TLR7A immediately. Standard ANR high quality materials and attention to detail, as always, but now in CNC cut quick ship.
John (verified owner) –
I bought this one because it was the only Kydex holster that was made for the Icarus ACE 365. No one else makes one to fit their thumb ledge they have built in, without going for a model that was built for an attached light, which I did not want. This is a well built holster. No complaints there. My only wish, because I wear mine at 3:30 instead of appex, I wish it had a clip that gave some forward cant.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –

Richard Thomas (verified owner) –
I purchased this for a CZ sp-01 which is a heavy pistol and I was worried that I may not be able to carry it comfortably off duty. I definitely did not have to worry. I adjusted the tension properly and it has enabled me to not have to bring 2 pistols when I go to work. I can wear the sp-01 all day without worry or comfert issues. It even flexes as an appendix holster also. Easy on and off. Easy to adjust while I’m wearing it. I’ve already told friends and co-workers about this company.
Todd (verified owner) –
This was the first light bearing holster that I had purchased. This holster was highly recommended by a good friend and he suggested that I upgrade to the metal belt clips. This holster fits my firearm perfect and is comfortable to wear for 14 hrs a day. This is a great holster for the price
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
heck yeah, thanks Todd!!
Stanton (verified owner) –
Got this for a cz p07 with a tlr-1 HL now the holster its self is very good quality and has the best claw yet. Clip is great too needs a lot of adjusting but once you get it right it’s perfect.
Quality 10/10. Now… the tlr1 might not be the best light to appendix lol…. I’ve gotten use to it and can comfortably sit walk and stand with it all day. I dont regret picking such a big light but some of you might for appendix. I’m 5 ft 9 about 135 pounds. All in all no regrets.
M White (verified owner) –
I was looking for an appendix carry holster that was comfortable and fit my gun and light combo. I carry a FN 509 mid size with a olight pl-2 and so far no problems when carrying. I’m just glad I found a company that makes a holster that works for me.
Michael (verified owner) –
Good fitment and concealability. The claw was extremely loose. If I tightened the retention screw the claw was still moveable and then the gun took extreme force to pull out.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
Michael, if you’re having this issues, just reach out to customer service. We can send you a set of bushings to put between the claw and the holster, and it removes the claw wiggle. Try reaching out to customer service before writing poor reviews. We appreciate it. It is part of the whole experience.
Carlton E (verified owner) –
Second holster from ANR, but first light bearing. I chose ANR again because of the build quality, comfort, and extra mile ANR goes to engage with their customers. The black multi-cam looks great, too!
Kason W. (verified owner) –
I believe this is my 5th or 6th ANR holster, I have OWB lightbearing, IWB lightbearing, IWB non lightbearing… just about every option within the 5 or 6.
I have not had any problems carrying in any of them.
The fit is great on all of them and I know if I were to ever have any problems I can ask customer service and get a speedy response.
I would and do recommend these holsters to anyone.

Outstanding brother. Cream of the crop. Stop looking at it and just buy it. It’s tremendous.
Daniel Wirtley (verified owner) –
I bought one for my CZ P10-S with a TLR-7, and I have been very pleased by the fit and finish of the holster. I did notice a bit of the slide serrations shaving off bits of kydex on the inside of the holster, but I assume that is because I have my retention set a bit tight so I’m not worried about it. Also, very highly recommend to upgrade to the DCC monobloc clips as it is much lower profile than the plastic clips while holding onto my belt much more securely. Will definitely be buying other holsters from them in the future.
Nicholas Turano (verified owner) –
My first ANR Design holster and my first dedicated Appendix carry. I could not be happier with this product. The fit, finish, and attention to detail is amazing. My P30SK loves her new home. Will be ordering again without a doubt!
Isaac Wilcox (verified owner) –
I have been carrying this holster for a while now and I absolutely enjoy it! It’s comfortable and it keeps the frame of my 48 tight to my body. This is not a holster you will have to worry about printing with. I would recommend this to anybody looking for a quality holster.

This holster isn’t lacking in anything you need. The quality it top notch, the price is competitive to say the least and for the amount of options you have the shipping is very fast.

CWillis (verified owner) –
Perfect fit for my Steyr M9-A1 with TLR-7a light and a red dot, a combination that is nearly impossible to find!! Great retention (the light MUST be mounted to the pistol or it will slop) and concealability. Minor shavings on the inside of the kydex from drawing/holstering, but I am assuming that’s a normal part of the break-in process. It took a long time to ship, but my orders specifically were noted as having been lost in the shuffle.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
Thanks Carey!
Joe D (verified owner) –
Kydex quality, fantastic. Belt clip is robust. Claw looks solid, and made in the USA is stamped on it, so that is nice. Only thing that bothered me about it was the looseness of the claw side to side. I would think that would be pretty rigid, issue was resolved by wrapping electrical tape around the screws and trimming. This took up the slack within the screw cavities and made it more rigid. Other than that, it really conceals the firearm way more than non claw IWB’s.
Shannon Harty (verified owner) –
I have appendix carried everything from subcompact Glocks to full size Govt model 1911’s for many years. I have a drawer full of holsters that run the gambit from epic failure to pretty good. I decided to try an ANR holster for a full size Glock 17 with a TLR-1 attached. This is not a small package, especially with the weapon light. My new ANR holster conceals this combination nicely, even under just a t-shirt and does it comfortably all day long. I am sincerely impressed. Outstanding work, ANR.

I ordered the A&R AIWB light bearing for my FN 509 Midsize with a Holosun HS507c V2 red dot and an Olight PL mini 2 Valkyrie. It has a prefect fitment and a good retention. The holster is made very well and in a professional way with a neat and slim design. Not to many holster companies offer the 509 with olight PL mini 2 but A&R does and they did a great job. It only took them few days to shipped and it arrived a lot faster than I expected.

I am a very very very picky person. So when I come to review a product and don’t have any negatives to say, it’s surprising. ANR surprised me with their quality of holster. My holster arrived two weeks before expected. Some of the highlights of this holster:
1) Great Retention
2) Good hardware
3) auto off function with my TLR1HL
I recommend ANR for all your holster needs. I also purchased one for my P365 that I’ve yet to try. But am expecting similar results.

Thanks Joshua!

Excellent holster! Retention is very secure and adjustable to personal taste. Quality of materials is amazing. Fit and finish is on par with other high tier holsters. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a high end holster at a very reasonable price.

I found ANR while looking for a holster for my Arex Delta. This has quickly become my go to option anytime I need a holster. There are lots of good holsters out there but I know when I order from ANR I will get a quality product. There is obvious attention given to how the gun sits on the belt line and keeping the bulk down making ANR both comfortable and functional. I think I own 4 or 5 ANR holsters now and I will keep coming back.

I’ve owned this holster and the owb mag carrier for 11 months now and I have nothing but good things to say. Glock 17 IWB with TLR6 , I can actually conceal it if I dress rite, vanishes when I tie my flannel around my waist. (Must wear a belt).
Don’t hesitate to get this product and also with the life time warranty you are set !!!!

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.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
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.

Second holster I’ve ordered from ANR for my P365xl. It came out super clean, well manufactured, fit and finish is amazing, and that monoblock clip is perfect.
It fixed the issue I had with another brands light bearing holster (too open) and has been on my hip every day since. Allowing me to carry my gun with the light like I intended, just better than I thought possible.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
Thank you so much for the 2nd purchase and the review Will!

I have had several of these holsters for the past eight years. By far the best concealable holster I have ever had. The firearm feels secure and holds its place in my waistband. I appendix carry and have never worried about shooting myself. I usually carry my M&P 2.0 compact or full size with this holster. I recently purchased a P365 X Macro and the only company I thought of to purchase a concealable holster from was Alex and Ryan Design. Excellent work!
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
Thank you!!!!
Tim (verified owner) –
This thing is honestly a +10 reload speed. In all honesty, this is nice. I paired this with the ridgeline drop on a blade tech. Very nice set up. Enables a smooth draw while also holding the mag tight. I even took a fall on some rocks at the range and landed directly on this device without the mag inserted. Scuffed but 100% functional. Buy with confidence.

I have been running this holster for a few months carrying a SIG 229. Thus far it has lived up to my expectations.
I was apprehensive at first about the polymer claw with its added width since I carry at the 12 o’clock position. There has not been any difference in feel with this rig vs one with out the claw. The claw is a great added feature, especially when concealabity is a major factor.
Drawing and re-holstering the firearm is smooth which is a major advantage over a leather IWB holster.
Over all the holster is well built with quality and rugged hardware. Customer support was prompt and Professional.
Well done

4th holster. Continues to hold the balance of retention and comfort. The retention is perfect and does not matter if you’re wearing a regular belt or ratchet/canvas appendix belt- the draw is quick and doesn’t require me to tighten my belt to discomfort. Trigger is always covered and the claw is the right amount of distance from the holster to allow for comfort and decreases printing allowing for t-shirt or button up.
For Reference:
Size 34 pant, 190lb, appendix carry with G19G5mos, EPS, TLR7A. No issues, concerns. Have the G17 quick ship as well for a G19Gen5mos with TLR7A And radian ramjet- covers ramjet. The G19 will fit with ramjet exposed a little bit, but get the G17 if you’re concerned about metal on skin.

I’ve never been much of an IWB kinda guy, but after using the IWB w/ Claw I am shocked at how comfortable, and how well it conceals my CZ P-10 F. I tried appendix carry as well as behind my hip, and was not let down. If you’re looking for the perfect holster, look no further. And the cherry on top is it looks great! Awesome holsters. Awesome company. There isn’t enough stars to rate this holster.
Shawn (verified owner) –
its a really comfortable holster. I love everything about it other than the claw moves a lot. Maybe the holes for the claw could be smaller to give a tighter fit. Could also put a sleeve or bushing around the screw to make everything fit a little tighter?

First holster from ANR and it will not be my last. This holster fits my Arex Delta M Gen 2 like a glove. Quality is top notch! Overall a great all around holster.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –

Brandon (verified owner) –
Holster is so so. Especially based on the 7-8 week wait. Gun with light fits extremely tight, even with retention screws backed out. Speaking of retention, the screws has no threadlocker and not really long enough. When wearing the holster on my Kore Garrison belt and trying to pull my gun out, all I did was yank my pants up. Really have to try to get the gun out. The holster tend to rock forward and back a lot on my belt.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
I have forwarded this to customer service and they will reach out with an RMA. It shouldn’t have left tight, and we apologize for the inconvenience. As for the thread locker, we do not add it and it is in your email receipt to put loc-tite on your hardware when you receive it. We don’t do it because we’ve had customer hardware freeze (environment depending) in place and unable to adjust retention.
Philip coon (verified owner) –
Awesome! Been using my p229 with a tlr7a holster for about two months now. Solid construction awesome pattern. Very well molded and put together. I went with the regular plastic clip it works great!. Retention is top notch snaps right in and isn’t going anywhere. Highly recommended

* wish I could give this 4.5 stars *
I own both this (got it with the krypyek highlander camo) and an iwb from Alien Gear both for the IWI masada with a holosun red dot on it. There’s an option for an optics cut, and it conceals better than the Alien Gear that doesn’t currently offer an optics cut for the masada (it does for other platforms so I just cut the Alien Gear myself.) That said it is less comfortable than the Alien Gear. If it was as comfortable as the alean Gear I’d give it 5 stars and shop here exclusively for any iwb products in the future but as it stands I’ll likely shop both companies. Hope this helps someone.

I ordered a Glock 17 with TLR1 IWB holster. Let me just say, this thing is the tits!! Everything i was looking for. Minimal amount of kydex around the base of the holster, great retention. Sturdy clip makes every draw consistent, and yet easy to remove at the end of the day. I’m 5′ 6″ 170lbs. Conceals like a dream. I initially went into shopping for a holster i may have to modify to fit my needs and comfort. No mods necessary! Thanks!

Purchased the 43X/tlr6 AIWB holster. It’s been my daily driver ever since it arrived. Fit and finish is superb, and comfort is above that of all other holsters I’ve carried. Lead time was stated as 4-6 weeks, mine arrived within 3. Fast service, great product, you won’t regret it.

brady110 (verified owner) –
ANR has become my #1 holster supplier. The fit is perfect every time and the retention is great. I tried cheaping out on a few holsters on ebay with smaller companies, but ran into the holsters either being a little too thin, the design not allowing the DCC clips to clip over my belt, and the retention screws being poor quality. I always have peace of mind when I put on an ANR Design holster.
peter.ostrovsky (verified owner) –
Where have you been all of my shooting and concealed carry life? But seriously I’m super impressed with the design, fit and wear comfort of the IWB Holster. I’m so glad that I got this one for my G19 Gen 3. I’ve also purchased the HK CC9 one through HK.

I’m a big CYA Supply Co. fan literally every holster I purchased for many years has been by these guys. But then, I wanted to use a WML, and CYA unfortunately didn’t have any available, yet. I found ANR Design after searching on various forums and saw a consistent thread: quality, durability, reliability, and comfortable. The P10S/P10C holster was my first ANR Design holster, and I absolutely love it! It’s great to save money on purchasing another holster and having to manage it; I prefer to simplify whenever possible! The mod wing and DCC monoblock clips are excellent, although I wish they had adjustable ride and wing height like CYA’s! Perhaps in another model, but I just really like this style of holster for the price! Hand’s down great holsters. I have 2 on order now for a HK VP9SK and USPc next. I really appreciate their point system to save some bucks especially in times of inflation overall! Go with ANR Design, and you won’t be sad; or, as they say, buy once! cry once!
Robert (verified owner) –
Awesome holster, the fit and retention are great! I like the slim design of the holster and the Kydex at the bottom is rounded so it does not cur into my leg when wearing as an appendix carry! Super happy and I will be back for more!!

I received my holster for the Sig P365. This is an awesome holster, I love that there’s a cutout for an optic as well as an open end for a threaded barrel. I got the option with the claw.

I cannot express JUST HOW long it took me to finally find an appendix holster that could fit my combo of a Sig MK.25 w/ X-300-V. I’ve run quite a few different companies appendix holsters from both big and small companies. This is by far one of my favorite holsters for secureness, printability and ease of don/doff. Let alone their customer support being beyond fantastic answering my questions. If you are on the fence and you haven’t found your combo anywhere else, you need to pull the trigger on one of these bad bois. You will not be disappointed.

Just received my ANR kydex holster. I went with the lightbearing IWB appendix holster for my pistol (Arex Delta w/ Olight Valkryie PL-mini) and MAN…..IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT!! It really only took about 2 weeks from the day I ordered it to the day it arrived at my door. Generally, I do not carry appendix with my pistol & WML due to the bulk that is created by the weapon mounted light but this holster is perfect for that and it has some very smooth lines all across the holster. And the genius engineers who came up with carrying IWB with zero cant and with the claw attachment….DAMN GENIUS!!!! With other holster companies that don’t have the claw and attempt to have zero cant on the holster fail miserably as far as concealing your weapon close to your body. BUT NOT THESE GUYS!! They got it all figured out. Plus the fact that ANR has a multitude of design pattern for whatever pistol you carry, they have it. And I consider my pistol to not be all that common (I mean, a polymer pistol coming out of Slovenia…who has a holster designed for that!!??? ANSWER: ANR Design, that’s who!!!)
So design wise, excellent. Fit and Finish? Excellent (Smooth lines and smooth edges all around). Thickness of kydex holster: thin enough to where its still strong and flexible as well. Mounting hardware: Appears and feels to be of good quality and the belt clip and claw are plenty strong and well finished as well. Price: So yes, they are a bit more expensive than some other holster companies out there (i.e. Vedder, Clinger, Raven Concealment, G-Code, etc) but ANR makes up for it by having a large selection of different pistol models that they can mold for as well. Overall, 2-thumbs up and would definitely buy from them again.

Best AIWB holster I’ve ever owned. The claw helps keep the grip tight against my body, which means less printing. ANR also has the most extensive selection of custom holsters that I have found so far. Definitely will have to recommend to my friends and family.

Brandon (verified owner) –
Selected quick ship, holster was shipped after 2-3 days! Most holster makers have a ton of options and it gets convoluted and raises the price substantially, not ANR. The holster has everything you need and nothing you don’t. Good, thick kydex with round smooth edges. The claw is adjustable depending where your belt sits which I love. If you want to switch to a deep concealment clip you can. Sweat guard is neither high or low but right in that sweet spot. Holster opening is slightly flared so when reholstering, especially with a light you don’t accidentally hit it against the top of the holster. I recommend getting one of the CF colors since it’s smoother than standard kydex and only a few dollars more but that’s me. Overall you can tell they’ve streamlined the holster process to get people what they need and not a bunch of unnecessary stuff or 2 month wait times.

Great holster for glock 19. Retention seemed abysmal when I first got it in the mail, but just lock fighting the screws and 3 more turns in make this phenomenal. Only recommendation to you is to just order the appendix carry holster. The appendix holster can be used anywhere honestly. It comes with the claw which makes a substantial difference in prevention of printing at my 3 o clock carry. You want to avoid ordering to many things here. Although the holsters are awesome, the cost of shipping quickly adds up. Just a recommendation so you dont have to order the claw separately.
Miles Plannette (verified owner) –
I ordered a light bearing IWB for my Dan Wesson Specialist with a TLR-1. ANR is one of only a handful of companies that make an IWB for this combination. My order was placed November 26 and shipped November 27 which is incredibly impressive. The holster holds the handgun securely and the draw and reinsertion is just about perfect. The fit and finish is top notch and I’ll definitely be ordering other holsters from ANR in the future.
Corey (verified owner) –
I’ve had my iwb light bearing holster for a couple of months nearly now and I’m very pleased with it. I ordered it for a Glock 48 mos with the tlr-7sub. It’s a great fit, snug without being overly tight thanks to the adjustment screws. The gun and holster being slim sit against my hip inside my jeans waistband perfectly, and I don’t even notice either one much at all whether I’m sitting, standing or walking. The molded clip holster the assembly onto my belt fine and I haven’t had any issues with it slipping around or trying to slip off either. Very satisfied, will be shopping here again.

I just received my fourth holster, and that makes three in waistband and one outside waistband holster from ANR. I have some other Kydex holsters and a leather Falco, but I come back to ANR for quality, fitment, and flexibility. Definitely not the least expensive holster on the market, but it is the highest quality and best fitting holster I’ve had to date. I recently had my two year old in waistband holster break the kydex at the clips, and it was replaced under warranty in two weeks. I’m not sure if the kydex was thin at the clips or if it was me stressing the holster as I put it inside my belt empty. In any case I received a quick replacement AND I ordered a fourth configuration along with a very concealable spare magazine carrier. Most comfortable setup to date and I highly recommend ANR products to anyone looking for quality and comfort.

Great first experience
Thanva Girdpool (verified owner) –
The holster is really well made, except the retension is so so hard to be able to put the weapon in and out. I would say I have to use minimum of 3-5 lbs force to push the gun into the holster and taking it out !!

So I have ordered various holsters from these guys. 2 for shadow systems mr920s. One with x300 light and another with streamlight tlr7a. Both have been fantastic and comfortable. First I ordered with the basic clip and second with the metal clips. Metal clips work much better with shorts. My other holster through them was one for my p30L with an x300. Even though they do not list the p30L. With a phone call, customer service informed me to just make a note in my order that it was the Long slide version and they could leave the bottom open wide enough so it would work. When I received the holster, it was almost as if they had adjusted the retention before mailing it to me. Fit like a glove. 3 holsters and plan to start getting owb holsters from them next. On top of that, the post office screwed and customer service helped me in locating the package and I received it only a day late thanks to their help. Would recommend holsters from these guys!

I found AnR design by complete accident, but I am sure happy I did. The fit and finish was as expected from a top notch company, they said it would fit my Glock 45 MOS (RMR) with O-Light PL-mini2 which it did flawlessly. I have had nothing but trouble trying to find a IWB light bearing holster for my PL-mini2, but AnR squared me away, my only complaint is that the logo on the belt retention clip is barely visible. I would and will buy this product again, without hesitation. Hell I even sent them a thank you on Instagram I was so impressed!

ANR are my go to holsters and I have tried many. I currently have two and they both are Excellent. If I was able to recommend any improvements it would be to design the clip to allow for some degree of height adjustment. It would enable those with meatier claws more room for purchase on small firearms. Sometimes a quarter of an inch can make all the difference in the world.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
Thank you so much for the feedback John. We are working on our own claw to remedy ride height issues with the claw to belt clip interface

Most comfortable holster I’ve carried in! This is my second ANR holster and they are constantly improving the designs and execution of the products as this one is much cleaner and dialed in than the first one I bought in 2018! That is not to insinuate the 2018 holster was sub par in the least either, it’s been my absolute favorite holster for the two years I’ve had it!

Great holster! Versatile and comfortable. The claw really pulls the grip into you body, improving concealment.
Jim (verified owner) –
Talk about the best most comfortable holster on the market. And to boot it’s made in the great state of New Hampshire!!!! Definitely would recommend.. 1000 out of 5 stars in my book. !
Chris Fransen (verified owner) –
Claw mounting holes unnecessarily large for screw OD, causing excessive ‘swing’ in the claw arm. Tightening these mounting screws also affects the retention, so either I have a loose, swinging claw or excessively tight retention of the firearm. Also, this holster lacks any adjustment to firearm concealment depth. For my body type (6′, 175lbs) I wanted to adjust the depth to move the muzzle off the pubic bone, which was causing pretty severe discomfort, so my only option is to make adjustments to how high/low I wear my pants, which is normally at the hip.
Materials and craftsman ship seem fine, outside of the claw issue. Shipping was fast, price was discounted due to holiday sale, which is what prompted me to give ANR a try. For background, I have multiple holsters for this CZ P01, which I have carried for over 6 years at this point. Normally carried IWB @ 3:30-4 in a Stealthgear ventcore mini.
I didn’t outright give up on this holster and have worn it in public for several hours on multiple occasions and with trying different locations between 12 and 1:30 on body, but haven’t been able to find a comfortable way to work with this.
I did give ANR a call to discuss and see what advice or options they might be able to offer. The call went to VM and I left a message, which wasn’t returned. I recognize their policy of ‘all sales final’ so I’m not complaining about that. I just thought that others might benefit from my experience. There are better options available from other manufacturers, which include concealment depth adjustability, isolation of retention adjustment, ‘hybrid’ materials, etc.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
Our holsters are certainly geared more towards appendix. We try to get to the VM when we can. We have a chat service and you can send a ticket through CS using the contact page and will yield faster response times. We are a small shop and getting to the phone can be tough in a manufacturing facility.

i ordered an AIWB w/ the claw. the holster looks and feels great but i had an issue with the claw being slightly to low and it would slip off the belt line and go under the belt and get hooked. i messaged them, explained my issue and asked if they made a taller claw. they do not, but what they did for me was even better. i shipped the original back and they made me a brand new holster moving the claw up slightly fixing my issue. they didn’t have to do it, BUT THEY DID! great customer service, great holster.
good companies DO still exist! thank you anr for being one of those companies

Absolutely stoked on my new holster. I use several different holsters for different applications and the ANR allows me to carry my Glock 19 securely and discreetly.

Holster gets 3 stars. Ordered a custom lightbearing holster, which can be difficult. I’ve tried, so I reached out to what I THOUGHT were some better talent than myself. I got a pretty mediocre holster at best. Contacted customer service / management regarding my areas of concern, and got an insulting link to an Adam Schiff video as a response. ANR = “absolutely not respectable” by design. Hence the 1 star.

I bought this Light Bearing IWB holster for my CZP10C with a Streamlight TLR7 light and it fit perfectly. It is very comfortable to wear and has the perfect amount of retention. This same holster configuration will also fit my Glock 23 with a TLR7 light on it too. The only thing I wish it had was a couple lower mounting screw holes to allow the holster to be adjusted to ride a little higher. I recently had to take a class that wouldn’t allow for appendix carry so when I wore it on my strong side hip it was a little hard to re-holster because my pants waist band seemed to cover the opening just a bit. Other than that it worked flawlessly. I also bought a second one for my brother for Christmas for his carry gun with a TLR7 also.
Alex Costa (verified owner) –
Thanks Brandon!

MUST BUY! I have tried a few different appendix holsters and have always found that they are either uncomfortable after awile or they dig into my leg or stomach area because of sharp pointed ends during the day. Not this one! I carry an XD40 4″ service model 10+1 with a tlr7a light attachment. I’m a 6ft 200lbs man (tall and skinny) and i do lots of squating, bending, leaning, sitting, and even climbing during the day and it is completely comfortable. This is the most comfortable holster i have worn! No extra material like the other manufacturers kick out or substandard parts. Those issues i had with the other holsters i don’t have with this one. The claw is an added extra feature i appreciate since it gives me a more natural look. On my screws i did add a bit of blue loctite as an extra measure once i got my retention set. Now the retention will be different from when you wear it and not wearing it. Its not a smooth draw like when i wear it but not so much a difference that you can not draw your firearm. Just make sure you have ahold of the holster and your firearm. I have had this one for a little over a month and wanted to make sure it would fit my life style before i blindly made a review. Forget about the other ones your looking at this is the one for sure!

Aaron Holloway (verified owner) –
Joined the Multiple ANR holster club. I have one for my carry 19 and on a whim I bought one for my M9A1. ANR holsters are 100 percent worth the cost, which really isn’t high, and the lead time, which tends to be just quicker than they post. The claw works great for appendix and 3-6 (for righties). Fantastic retention. Get off the fence and order one for either all of your guns, or all the models they offer. Be sure to bug Alex on his IG Q&As so the rest of us get supplied with some comedic gold. Shut up Chad

Just received my IWB holster got my Glock 19. The very first thing i noticed was the build quality. Very durable and strong. Second thing i notice was the retention was damn near perfect out of the box. The next thing i noticed was the comfort while wearing it. Other holsters id have to fiddle with the clips, adjust the height or angel and play around with the location ( shift from 11:30 ro 12:30). Not this one. It sits perfect on me. Best holster i have used to date.

You won’t be disappointed with this product! I purchased one of these holsters for my Sig P238 last year. This holster is so comfortable, I now carry my weapon every time I leave the house. I also purchased an extra mag carrier – also very comfortable; and comforting knowing I have an extra 7 rounds. These holsters look great too!

Bought the IWB lightbearing holster for my Walther PDP 4″ full size with Streamlight TLR7X and Holosun EPS. Just like the ANR holster I bought for my Sig, the holster has excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail, a high quality kydex pattern, comfortable fit, and perfect retention straight from production. Very impressed with ANR products.

First, the holster is very well made, safe, fits the firearm well, and is offered for a pistol and light combination that is surprisingly hard to find (Glock 19 gen 5 and TLR-7).
I really only have two main gripes that prevent me from giving this holster a perfect 5 star review.
1. The holster lacks an audible click when the pistol is fully seated, which can be nice if you want to reholster your firearm while maintaining situational awareness. Bravo Concealment holsters are way cheaper and offer this feature, but I don’t fault ANR for not including it.
2. For my carry position, 4 o’clock IWB, claw holsters have a tendency to get bumped and cant in one way or another when I do things like sit down, and the blade offered does little to prevent that. I fixed this problem on my holster by replacing the blade with a Haley Strategic/G-Code clip. For this price range, I’d like to see some kind of second clip on the order page.
Those two gripes aside, I like this holster and use it daily, and would recommend it to my friends.

AnR designs are one of the best holster makers in the game. They have one of the best products And back with best customer service. Last year I ordered a holster during Black Friday sale AnR designs forgot to put a sticker in my order. This is how bad ass of a company they are I ordered a new holster for my cz p10 c I add a note on my order Reminding alex the owner about my missing sticker and AnR designs customer service hook it up with stickers and a patch. I didn’t right my review right away because on my second holster order my DCC – Monoblock clip were missing in my package. So I Sent AnR customer service a email on Saturday to see if could get my Monoblock clip. they got back to me on Monday morning Apologize for miss placing My Monoblock clip and ship out a set of Monoblock clip out that day with that daily mail. Amazing way of taking care of their customers. Last thing I have to say is that AnR design doesn’t copy what other holster makers are doing but the keep true to themselves and keep improving on their holster design.
David Rethoret (verified owner) –
Just ordered a light bearing IWB. they completed the order faster than expected even during these trying times. Holster is as comfortable as I can expect given the size of my carry and they’re one of the few companies that even offers a custom holster for my pistol. Will definitely be buying more holsters from these guys in the future
Tom McCabe (verified owner) –
Purchased two of these holsters! One for my CZ P-10S and one for my CZ 75B. All i can say is the quality is second to none. I’ve had a couple other holsters from other company’s for my Glock 30s and i noticed a huge difference in the quality, construction, and fit ANR provides. If you’re looking for a quality holster that sits perfectly inside your waistband than 100% order from ANR. Product is so good that i hid the first purchase from my wife and risked it all to order the second one! It’s worth the wrath of that titan if she ever discovers them.

5 stars for the Right Handed Appendix with Clay holster for the new H&K CC9. Very well built and the claw is just a little thicker than most making it more effective in my opinion – I highly recommend it. Very comfortable – small profile for a small pistol. I really disappears on me while keeping the pistol well secured and accessible – and I think that’s the point. Well done and recommended.

When I bought my P30SK I quickly found out not many kydex builders support the platform, But of course AnRD did. This was my first holster from them and wow did it set a standard not easily met. I carry it at work, 911 EMS 24hrs shifts, and it maintains comfort and concealability. I’ve slept in it, drove in it, and worked in it since ‘October-ish of ‘19’ and I’ve never ha a problem. Very, very, happy.

I’ve been patiently waiting for this holster and have been extremely satisfied with the product. The minimalist design for my g43x mos with tlr7 sub exceeds all my expectations. I previously used a werkz holster and was dissatisfied with it, because of the excess bulk due to it being a g43x/g48 holster. It had excess material on the end of the slide to accommodate both g43x/ g48 weapon systems. The ANR holster is customized SPECIFICALLY for the weapon system you purchase it for and eliminates the excess bulk/ material. Highly satisfied with my purchase and have recommended this brand to others. Ive gone far as wearing the ANR holster during my morning commute (45 minutes) to see how comfortable it is sitting appendix in prolonged periods. First day I’ve received the holster and I’m extremely happy with it. I’m 5’7” 190 lbs and found that comparing this holster to other big name brands such as t-Rex arms and tier 1 concealment, this is by far the most comfortable/ concealable iwb appendix holster ive used. Couldn’t be more happier to discover this brand.

Holster fits and feels fantastic! High quality and one of the best holsters I’ve had for any of my firearms, BUT, at the time of my purchase, the quick ship option was 5-7 days. It has now since been changed to 7-12, my issue with this is, my holster did not get shipped for a total of 17 business days, which is quite far off from what is advertised. I want to reiterate, that I DO love this holster, but this is something to look out for when purchasing a quick ship option.

Bought a AIWB Holster for my CZ SP-01. I’ve owned many firearms and many different holsters and this is by far the best holster I’ve owned. It’s also the best at concealing, even a full size gun. I will never buy another brand of holsters again.

Fantastic fit and comfort for p2000sk. My favorite IWB holster so far. Good quality, got the steel clip upgrade and it keeps holster in place perfectly.

Absolutely thrilled with product, the workmanship is flawless everything was on time and orderly. Its difficult to find holsters for a lefty especially one for a full size like the canik. It holds the gun so well I have confidence when I’m working with it on, even though I carry a full size I notice the gun way more than I notice the holster all in all I’m happy with my experience.

Due to Covid-19, there was a 3-5 week lead time. The holster arrived 2 weeks sooner than the latest anticipated date. I was hesitant to spend money on a custom holster. However, I would also rather not fiddle around with my rail light in the middle of the night if I happened to need it.
The process of specifying the make and model of your firearm, its barrel length, magazine modifications, sight modifications, and even the specific make and model of the light you have equipped was incredibly easy. I even contacted their support to confirm if the options they provided were true to the models of handgun and light I have. Jon Blevins was incredibly helpful in satisfying my questions. Absolutely wonderful holster.
TINY issues, though. 1, The holster is a bit tight and actually pushes the slide back about 1/8 inch. Though after some consistent use, the grip loosened up a bit. 2, the “arm” is a bit loose and wobbly and makes the holster slightly uncomfortable to wear, but after some adjustments of the screws, the comfort improved significantly.
Overall sturdy design. Compact. Fits my gun like a glove. 100% in love with with holster. I would certainly recommend ANR to friends and family.

Got this for the new Daniel H9 and fit is really good with solid retention on the trigger guard (which is adjustable).

My second holster from ANR and won’t be my last. Build quality is way above piece point compared to some other offerings on the market. Sits perfectly where I carry (cz p-07) with just the right amount of grip to get a positive purchase. Even without the wedges I use its very tolerable and caused a minimal hot spot (I’ve always struggled with carrying appendix due to that reason but this one just sits perfect for me) . Retention is spot on and draw is smooth. Added loctite to screws and good to go! The belt clip upgrade is great too and the laser etched logo looks rad. Claw does exactly what it should and keeps everything tight to the body. Thank you ANR!

I’m a big CYA Supply Co. fan literally every holster I purchased for many years has been by these guys. But then, I wanted to use a WML, and CYA unfortunately didn’t have any available, yet. I found ANR Design after searching on various forums and saw a consistent thread: quality, durability, reliability, and comfortable. The P10S/P10C holster was my first ANR Design holster, and I absolutely love it! It’s great to save money on purchasing another holster and having to manage it; I prefer to simplify whenever possible!
The mod wing and DCC monoblock clips are excellent, although I wish they had adjustable ride and wing height like CYA’s! Perhaps in another model, but I just really like this style of holster for the price! Hand’s down great holsters. I have 2 on order now for a HK VP9SK and USPc next. I really appreciate their point system to save some bucks especially in times of inflation overall!
Go with ANR Design, and you won’t be sad; or, as they say, buy once! cry once!

I bought a holster for my P365 X macro with a TLR 7A. It shipped pretty quickly, it’s really comfy, it’s incredibly sturdy and high quality. The claw on it is the best so far out of the many other holsters I’ve purchased too. I’m extremely happy with it. I switch back and forth between this one and my TRex arms sidecar depending on the situation. As a little side note I installed the neomag T post and alias on the ANR and it’s quickly become the go to almost full time now. The set up is elite in my opinion. Great job guys, I hope I can get a few more people to come your way. I’ve been highly recommending ANR to whoever I can.

First: I am not deserving of how this kick ass customer service I received when purchasing the Holster. Alex Costa was able to get me through the issue I initially had, and I’ll be singing ANR’s praises for life as a result.
This is my first proper holster, and I don’t think I’ll ever need another. It carries a P10S very comfortably. I was afraid i’d be constantly adjusting It through the day, but I just put it on and forget about it. It passed the “girlfriend hug test” with flying colors too.
