Opinions on the Bianchi CarryLok Holster

Do any of you have any experience with these? My local Sportsman's Warehouse has them on sale for a good price. I would love to hear your thoughts.

My buddy owns one. He seems to like the holster.

I have one for a 5 inch M1911, also works well for my Browning HP. I use it mostly for range use, but I have occasionally used it for CCW.

I have no problems with it.

Does it hold the firearm tight to the body? It looks like it is a bit bulkier than a regular holster and protrude from the body more.

I have one for a 1911 government. I like the holster. I like that my gun will only come out if I push the button during my draw. I find that it conceal like any other OWB holster.

The answer is no. It doesn't snug your gun up like a good pancake type leather holster. For this reason mine just sits in the holster box. Nevertheless, it's not a bad holster for the price.
