I like the fact that the gun rides low, it has a solid belt clip, rough side out leather, and a tension screw. It looks quite durable also.

Does anyone have experience with this combo, or this brand of holsters. Is there something else I should be looking at closely that meets my requirements? Thoughts?

Thanks for your inputs.
I own this holster... it is excellent, but like all single clip holsters, it has a "sweet spot" where it works, and everywhere else it moves around as the day goes on. You'll need to wear it between your front hip bone and your buttocks... a natural soft spot on all but the most obese that will firmly plant the gun in one spot. On me, this is about 3:30 and works great. The 15 degree cant is more than enough, and the workmanship from highnoon is outstanding.

You are going to find everyone has different preferences. I own some galcos, some highnoons, and a blackhawk cqc. They are all good holsters... it boils down to personal preference, body shape and attire. There's a good chance you will buy several holsters before finding one you wear a lot, but if you are lucky, you will use all of them some of the time.
