fobus roto-tilt

Does anyone has anything favorable to say about this adjustable holster? I know its very low cost but are there any problems with the design or functionality? Please tell me.

They are cheap but work fine. The only problem that I generally see is that they hold the gun too tight. I like Kydex type holsters myself, something with adjustment screws.

I like the Roto Tilt holsters a lot. These are inexpensive holsters but you would never know it from how well made they are. I will never understand the interest in these shapeless blobs that people call Kydex holsters. One of the reasons I so like my Fobus stuff is the fact that it mirrors the gun it is meant to hold. As for holding a gun too tight, after a short while it loosens up. You just have to use it a few times is all. Also there are a few new little attachments for the Roto Tilt that will be coming out soon, so keep your eyes open.

So new items from Fobus, there is now a universal mount for their Roto Tilt Holster design, it is a unit that can put anywhere you want, under a desk, in your car, under your bed on the space shuttle......... you get the point. As well they now have a shoulder rig that will accept any of the Roto Tilt holsters, and a drop thigh rig that also takes the Roto-tilt system.

I used a soldering iron to remove some of the bump that retains the pistol. It works fine for IPSC now, at least until I can afford a proper holster.

Just be careful you can still pass the retention test.

A heat gun did not work for me, it is hard to get down into the area with the bump without melting other parts of the holster.
