I finally got it!
Some of you may recall that I had some issues with the first one (mold gun didn't have enough height for the sight). Garrett got another one sent out and I got it today. I haven't really worn it around but I will say fit wise that they nailed it! This one fits perfectly. The sight channel/track is maxed out but that's not a bad thing, the sight itself isn't rubbing the liner. Initially I thought it would be inconvenient to adjust retention since the top screw is slightly behind the clip. That wouldn't have been a huge deal since you really only need to adjust it once. Turns out thought that with this particular gun the bottom screw really does most of the adjustment.
Time will tell if this is better than the regular IWB. The Revolver IWB moves the clip from the middle of the body to the trigger guard. The reasoning is that the cylinder is the fat part of the gun so moving the clip prevents it riding on the widest part. In actual practice though the LCRx has a pretty thin cylinder as revolvers go since it's just a 5-shot. Moving the clip over requires a wider body; this makes a somewhat large holster for a pretty small gun. I think it will work great but I'm not sure if I'll like it was well as the regular IWB. But I wanted to try it, so if in not that's on me.
Here are a few pics from different angles to show the holster & gun.
These last two show the IWB for my old 2" version next to the new Revolver IWB for the 3" version. Note the stamping on the back. Garrett was kind enough to stamp the name of the gun on my last few purchases. I have so many of their holsters (maybe 11 now) that it was getting hard to keep them all straight and tell them apart without trying each one.
All in all I'm quite happy with how this one turned out! Kudos to Garrett for making another great product. I'll update this thread when I have the chance to wear it for awhile.
