I only have one of their holsters; the Insider for a second gen. S&W that I rarely carry. I also have a double pouch mag carrier that I like a lot, and a dress gunbelt that is good quality and has held up well.
DeSantis has been around for quite a while, they have good service, but my experience is they specialize more in the "price" area for holsters than custom/quality.

DeSantis has some good stuff, lightweight and fits what I bought it for. I have 4 pieces of their holstery. I also have Kramer, FIST, Strong, Don Hume and some Gould & Goodrich.
They are a mass producer but of a higher quality, in my opinion, than Uncle Mikes. You can get a cheapon nylon clip on IWB up to a nice, but not "custom" leather rig. They try to cater to the whole market. Look them up on the web, they have a site but I haven't been there for some time.
My duty equipment includes two DeSantis mag and a handcuffs pouches. I also have an open top holster for my SIGARMS sig pro SP2340. Very nice holster. All-in-all, their leather isn't bad at all. Very utilitarian...but it works well.
I met Gene DeSantis at SHOT Show....very personable gentleman.
DeSantis makes very high quality for mass produced to the point I put them on the same level as Galco with different styles. Very popular in the NY area and they hold several contracts with the govt for supplying agents holsters. I have several and have no issue with any of their products.
The only holster I have right now is a cheap desantis IWB ballistic nylon. Not bad at all, and I plan to carry in it until I can get something custom, or at least a good leather.
