My motivation for the Gladiator was the easy on-off with the snap attachments since I need to take my holster off several times each day. It has worked perfectly in that regard so far.SoloXCRacer wrote:I use the Comptac Gladiator for my full sized M&P, and the Stealth Gear OWB for my Glock 19. Both products are high quality and have decided both will probably be by go-to holsters for OWB in future purchases. The Stealth Gear is lighter, but both ride close to the body and conceal well. But I think the Gladiator has a "classier" look, if that makes any sense. It's a great product and good to hear they have great customer service!

Comp-Tac
I need to give a shout out for this company. I use their products for IDPA, but had not considered them for EDC since I am a bit of a holster snob and prefer all leather products.
I recently acquired a CZ Shadow Tactical model (no rail) and was having a really hard time finding a good holster. I specifically wanted a model that is easy to take on and off without removing my belt. I looked at Comp-Tac's web site, and found the Gladiator model which seemed perfect. While there I also picked up a couple of these mag carriers that have a similar ease of use.

I found the package in my mailbox last night and was pleased to see that everything seems to be of high quality and the hybrid holster holds my gun right where I like it, nice and tight to my body, while still being very easy to get on and off.
But that's not what inspired this post. A retention / adjustment screw on one of the mag carriers was too loose and it actually fell off when I opened the package. Try as I might, I could not get the thing back in. You need a vise, or 3 hands. I dreaded making the call to Comp-Tac fearing that they would accuse me of causing the issue by loosening the screw too much, etc. But when I called, they just verified the model and upon hearing the issue immediately shipped out a replacement along with a pre-paid shipping label for the original.
This company isn't the cheapest option out there, but they have good products, great customer service, and they support IDPA. I would encourage y'all to give them a look the next time you are in the market for anything holster related.
