In the last thirty years I have owned numerous holsters. To be honest, when I first saw the DSG Arms pancake holster I was not impressed. It looked ugly. I finally broke down and purchased it. This holster is unlike any I’ve had. They are strong, hold my weapon securely, and do not leave an imprint. I liked it so much, I purchased the DSG ALPHA holster for my Glock 19X. Same good quality, but less material. Great for summer.
