Don Hume H721 O.T.?

I was looking at this holster and I believe a few members own it. I was wondering about how well a OWB holster, specifically this one, retains the firearm? Is the fact that it is missing the thumb break a non-issue?

hopefully i'll know tomorrow. mine shipped yesterday so with a little luck it'll be in the mailbox tomorrow.

yeah it works fine for my 27

I use it out in the woods and the few days its actually cold down here and I can use a cover garment.

Otherwise its IWB in MTAC

I have 1 for my XD service and Taurus 85 and 1911 full size all have excellent retention unless your doing cartwheels etc I can put the pistols in the holster and then turn them upside down and they dont fall out good enough for me.

For me, its my every day carry for a G-19 under a suit, got another one for a Commander for weekends at the ranch. Haven't had retention problems with either one. This holster (like most) does need a good belt, especially with the Colt.

Works great on my G23.

Thank you everyone for the feedback. I also now see that they do not make one with a thumb break for the P-11 anyhow. At least now I know it would not be an issue for walking and hiking. And I cannot remember the last time I did a cartwheel.

I had one for my G26 and my G19...they are a great holster. it conceals very well and the retention is very good as well.

It's my EDC for a Glock 27. Holds the gun very close and is concealable under an un-tucked shirt.

One bit of advice is to use it with a sturdy gun belt. I wear mine with a 5.11 1 1/2" reinforced leather belt that makes it rock solid stable.

Oh, forgot to add...the holster is very tight when you 1st get it. I wrapped my gun in a couple of layers of Saran wrap and forced it down in the holster as far as I could and left it there for a couple of days. It eventually breaks in with just the right amount of retension.

Just to expand upon his question a little more. How does this holster compare to say a custom made one from High Noon, UBG, K&D, etc. ?
