Remora - Page 2

newglockguy · March 2, 2013, 01:17 AM

I tried carry one with my friends .380. Personally I wasn't a fan, I felt like I'd have to constantly check to make sure it was secure. He likes it, I don't. I feel like that's going to be the case, love them or hate them

I got one as a short term solution while waiting for a quality leather IWB.
I love it, canceled my leather IWB order. It took a couple weeks of constant checking to trust it, though. I'm a fanof quality leather, so this is kind of a sea change for me.
I can set it at my preferred cant and position. It just plain stays, there. I have to readjust my leather IWB's every time I climb out of the truck. The Remora doesn't shift at all.
Does it "not shift all day?" I don't know? I pee every three or four hours.
I drive truck and the extra padding, in conjunction with attaining MY perfect carry position. Makes even 12,14 hour shifts, no problem at all. I've loaded and unloaded, climbed around, helped friends move, etc...it works.
Not so great for pocket carry, for me. The holster always comes out with the gun.
I use it on a sub compact nine (Sig P290RS). I don't know how it would work on something bigger?

I will add, though. I've heard so much about the great CS, including custom orders.
I tried for two months to get them to make me a shorter mag pouch, to fit my P290RS. Never could get more than promises, vague replies and excuses. Finally gave up and got one from Elite Survival.

I have started using the Remora for all of my IWB carry. I had a Crossbreed and gave it away. No need to stuff your pants full of leather, kydex, and metal hooks to carry your gun. The Remora works best when worn against my skin and is very comfortable.

Have several, and have used one w/a Kahr CW45 a fair amount as a grab and go backup - it works fine. I can't jump up and down more than once, and can't run much any more so that's not a consideration.

Just don't forget you are wearing it when you drop your pants to use the can. Your roscoe might take a dunking. Don't ask me how I know (actually it was only a mag carrier w/mag).

I think these have a place. Running to the gas station for a pack of smokes in shorts or sweatpants, or pocket carry.

Every day all day carry? Get something with belt attachments.

How do these compare to Sticky Holsters? I've been looking at one of these, but haven't decided between the two.

Same concept but they don't compare, IMO. The Remora has much more tackiness to the rubber. I wouldn't trust a Sticky holster to IWB nearly as well a Remora.
