I should add for a heavier pistol and even some smaller ones there is a night and day difference between the ace case and "real" holsters. But the ace case models are minimalist when that is what you are looking for.

I'll say it depends on the gun. If you are going to cheaper than dirt to buy have the gun with you to test fit it. I found that the one recommended for about a "makarov sized" pistol didn't fit as well as another model. The one that fit well does exceptionally well considering it is very cheap. Not as good as a "real" holster but fine for sometimes carry. I have a good holster for the pistol but have used the ace case often as it is less bulky. As mentioned the grip does sit lower then normal for some pistols but in my case it actually is a more comfortable carry with shorts and less obvious under a t-shirt.

I'll say they are okay for some uses but not all. For another pistol of mine there was no model that would work or I would trust so it comes down to fit. You are definitely getting what you pay for considering the price if the fit and support for a smaller framed gun work for you. And they are heads and shoulders above uncle mikes. They are definitely a trade-off is some areas such as quality but who can argue for under $10 if it fits just right.

So my overall grade: Maybe/It depends


sorry that isn't more specific.
