Tucker Silent Thunder Champion

I just received my new range holster it's a Tucker Silent Thunder Champion. Let me tell you what a nice piece of work this thing is. Perfect fit from the factory. My pistol slides out like it is on rails, super fast draw. It is made of kydex with a leather lining. The tension is adjustable as is the cant. They make an assortment of different mounts, depending on how low or high that you want it to ride. I have never been happier with a holster and it only took about 5 weeks to get it.

Very nice pics! Glad you like your Silent Thunder.
Lead time is shrinking now due to added capacity.
2-3 weeks for Glocks, 1911's, M&P's, XD's, other common pistols.

I like the leather lining aspect. While it isn't in the "pretty" class (and I like Kydex holsters) it looks highly functional and well made.

Does that friction fit on the rotation adjustment hold up well? It looks like you have to make sure the bolts are tight, or it might slide around a bit.

Haven't had a report of any rotational slippage since introduction over a year ago.

Looks like it could be a good CC holster during colder months, under a jacket.
