2 things: 1) VNSH has seen this and replied. Kudos to them! Check out their response at ruclips.net/video/sOOq_m8FyeE/видео.html 2) I was wrong to recommend the velcro hooks go on the opposite side- that would cause it to catch on clothes
great review. you brought up a lot of valid points in the video concerning areas needed for improvement. i'm going to head over to the link above that you posted to hear their response. as for #2 above, with their statement that the velcro has to be on the side that they originally placed it, i think the best option is to create multiple lengths (ex, maybe a small-medium and a large-extra large belt so that the velcro doesn't get put in a position that touches your skin) or have an add-in piece (like you mentioned) that can cover the velcro in the event that someone is on the larger end like yourself.
This was such a great review. Honest, reasonable, rational. If the company had guys like you during development, they'd have an even better product. Some of these issues are literally the result of a 50-50 coin flip decision. Hooks on the outside belt and loops on the inside. Folding the snap webbing tail under instead of sewing the tail further along the strap. Only two options and they picked the worse one. Hopefully they see this and can make quite reasonable changes.
someone rightly pointed out they can't flip the velcro lest it hook on clothes.... and I understand an extender would have made it better... but the thumb break problem remains. I hope they fix it.
Anthony, wanted you to know that new viewers are still seeing your review for the very first time. It still just as important now as it was when you made it. Thanks for your excellent work. Very fair and balanced. As soon as you pulled the trigger on your M&P while it was still inside and the holster, I yelled “No!”. If there is even a 10% chance of that happening, it is too dangerous. Thanks for having the courage to be honest and truthful. You may have saved someone’s life or a criminal charge from a ND. You, sir, are a hero! Need more Anthonys in the world. Thanks much.
great unbiased review bud, I was debating on getting this holster, thank you for showing me these features and drawbacks. This will be a no go. thank you again.
Man they really needed someone like you on their R&D team. Thank you for sharing your insights. It's so great to see a reasonable person share sound opinions.
Ha! I do wish them every success. I earnestly believe the world is a safer place when responsible gun owners carry every day. I wasn't trying to talk anyone out of the holster, just share my own experience and opinions. Now on the other hand, if VNSH wanted to say "thank you" and send me a free holster as a review, I'd be ecstatic and do a follow-up video highlighting the improvements but I can only wish. 🙂
So many "new start-ups" scarmble to get a product to market, rather than work out the kinks... -Good prodcuts, at resonable price points, sell themselves!
Thank you SO much for making this video. You just saved me a lot of money, hassle and disappointment. I very much appreciate it. This current model has WAY too many design flaws and serious safety issues. And at $130, the build quality issues are also unacceptable, to me anyway. Like you said, that's what you'd expect from "Walmart quality". However, $130 is NOT a Walmart price point. So, they should be doing better than they are for that kind of money. Anyway, thanks again. :) Hopefully someday they'll come out with something better.
Thanks for taking the time to do this review! I absolutely agree that the catch release is a critical design flaw and have no idea how that got through any basic testing. Glad to see the company seems to have noticed, so I'll wait to see if they do anything about it.
Well you just saved me a headache 😂 I was considering purchasing one now I’m back to searching great points in your review these points they really should have checked out.. before and after it’s called QC known as Quality Control have to check your product
I got one a month ago. I, too, saw the stitching was sub-par, especially at that price point. I got use to flipping the snap, but I see your point. I e-mailed them pics of stitching and they sent me another with no questions asked. Now I have two for the price of 79$. All in all, it's not my favorite, but I would wear one if I was in shorts or sweats, and for that reason I'm keeping mine. Great review, much-needed for this holster.
Huge help. Thank you for your time. I got an ad and it was an ad i actually watched, i went to the website and just about ordered it and decided i should find a review for it. Almost all videos about this holster are by the company itself. I found yours, and man am i glad i did. My waist isnt as big, so the velcro wouldnt have been an issue, the other non issue for me would be the trigger guard, i carry a compact 1911 so you can pull the trigger all day and it isnt going off until you drop the safety and engage the grip safety, but the fact that that strap is sewn the wrong way so it creates a barrier to my thumb is a deal breaker. Again, thank you. 🤘
Anthony, thank you so much for this review. I literally had my credit card out. I’m a 34 waist so the Velcro situation would not be an issue for me. The trigger guard? Maybe. But it looks like you really had to dig in there with your finger hard to pull the trigger. But the issue with the strap that holds the gun in place…total deal breaker. You’re right. In a panic situation, you’d never free your own gun from the holster. I’ll wait for the improved model, or find a better option in the meantime. Great review. Really appreciated.
That’s people it’s one of the most comprensible and honest review I’m see in long time. Thaks Sr..👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 And that’s the difference wen companies make their own reviews and real weapons users make real life situations….
I just ordered one,and wish I saw your review before I did . Awesome,and honest review,and after watching the companies response I truly believe they thank you for it,because it will help them to make a better product,the "American way", and help their business grow! God Bless!
Thank you for this review. I was just getting ready to purchase this item online. But now I'm aware of the safety hazard of being able to shoot while inside the holster. I'll wait for the updated version if they decide to fix these flaws.
1. Belt extender 2. A lighter will fix the stray threads, very common on nylon and Velcro 3. Trigger - Safety issue with the draw for ANY holster! Keep your finger out of the trigger guard until ready to fire. I love my VNSH holster for its versatility and comfort. I’ve used them all, OWB, IWB, shoulder, and another brand of belly band and this one may not be perfect for every concealed carry situation but from my many years of experience, it is by far the best yet. I strongly disagree with the Walmart quality comment, mine is holding up quite well with months and months of every day wear. The manufacturers response gives credence to their commitment to customer satisfaction and feedback.
Great review, thank you. I watched VNSH's response also. They seem like they are a good company. I'm going to purchase one and give it a shot. No pun intended! 😂👍
Great review. I came here looking for an honest review on this holster before I purchased it. My main concern would be it falling out when I'm running or exercising. I absolutely agree that the little notch would be a huge issue when needing to present your firearm in an emergency. The search continues for a decent holster that I can wear while running.
Anthony, thank you for that review as it was very helpful and I see it has prompted the company to improve on their design. I do appreciate your input.
Thank you so much for taking the time to do a review. I was going to buy this holster but wanted a third party review. I appreciate how through you were and how you pointed out various problems.
Thank you. I came to watch reviews for this holster. So, there were plenty of them. Problem is, the first half dozen or so you come across were made by the same people that make the holster. They try to make it appear to be independent review. Shady Bidness. To me that says a whole lot. I had to scroll down quite a bit to find an honest review. I thank you for taking the time to do this. You saved me a lot of time. I never forget a face, and I owe ya one. If we ever meet up out in the world, I got your back.
Man I was about to click order now just as I was clicking on this review... thank you so much! Saved me so much time and frustration. Appreciate it brother! Also, Texas all the way!
Bro, you nailed it. VNSH has a great response to this. Kudos to both parties here. Respect to Anthony and VNSH! Example to all of how to deal with disagreements.
Outstanding review, I'm glad I saw this. I was considering this holster the trigger guard was my biggest concern, and you hit points I didn't even consider thanks man.
Thanks for taking the time to review this holster , It looks like you are going help make this a better product in the future . I hope the company sends you a free one when they are done making the improvements because you helped them as well as the rest of us with making the right choice . Good job !
Thanks for taking the time to do a review. If they take what you said to heart, correct these issues, and I'd hope they'd send you a free demo to review for us again, I'd consider buying one that passes on these points you brought up.
What a great review, Anthony. Really appreciate your honesty, fairness, and how thorough you were. I also watched Adam's reply as well, and it's very helpful to know that some of your concerns are being addressed. Thank you so much!
Saw the commercial, came straight to YT for an independent search, yours was the first video to pop up. Watched, agreed, won’t be buying. Thanks for the info bud.
I just saw your review It was an excellent review. I just purchased my very 1stv handgun. I ordered this holster 2 days ago, and it should be arriving any day now. I wish I had seen your review before I ordered it. I appreciate your insight l, because I've never had a holster and don't know what to look for in a holster. Thanks again.
Thank you for your honest & reasonable review… I wasn’t sure if I wanted to take a chance on it or not. Now I will look around for other styles… you definitely helped me. Thanks Again
Thank you brother. I was tempted by their BOGO deal they're incessantly advertising right now. I carry the shield and the possibility of an ND due to inadequate trigger protection is an absolute deal breaker for me. That snap release issue is also wuite the problem too. I appreciate you taking the time to help the rest of us out!
Respect for this review and for VNSH reply. I'm a bigger guy too so the extension for the belt helped me out greatly with that issue. One of the other problems I had with the belt was the fact the extra pockets for your clips were on the gun side of the holster, clips should be carried on your support side. VNSH also fixed that by adding their duel mag pouch that can be placed anywhere on the belt so now on this one holster I carry my pistol, flashlight and a knife on my strong side and two clips on the support side. I wish other companies would listen to their customers with an open perception. This is how positive changes are made and it works out great for everyone.
Thanks so much for this independent review.The ad has been popping up daily recently, and I fwd it to some Family members.I just sent the ad, VNSH YT page, and this review to follow up and give them complete info. I will wait for the upgraded version as well. $130 is a lot to spend on a product that could use some tweaking.
Thank you for the thoughtful review! I've loved the Raven holsters for about 20+ years, but I'm always keeping my eyes open for the next great holster. If VNSH makes a 2.0 version, correcting the issues, I think I'd be willing to try one.
Hey Anthony, I also bought the holster and found the same issues. I am also a big guy and I did get the extender piece and that made ALL the difference fitting comfortable. Practicing with it a little bit and I found reaching for the gun, using my trigger finger to pull the front strap pops the buttons apart pretty easy. I had a few strings on mine also, I used a lighter and singed each one down. But yes I agree with you on ALL POINTS, they could have done a better job. I was going to return mine also but I am willing to bet you they made you offers to keep it like they did me. I got the $20 extender piece free, and ended up with 2 discounts on my holster that ended up only costing me $20 for everything. They gave me some really good discounts due to wanting a refund on it. So, I still have it and I am learning it a lot now and to be honest, I love it now and the extender piece was the game changer for me from hate to love. P.S. I carry a full size 1911 in mine and as hard as you have to dig in to get the tigger while inside the holster, that didn't bother me.
@@andygosche1839 in rapid prototyping now. We hope to have something in 6-8 weeks. Hardest part is offering a rock-solid trigger guard in a fabric-based product. But we'll get it!
@@vnshholsters Please let me know when the new version is available. Frankly, I had my CC info alrready entered but then looked harder for an independent review and found this one. FYI, The biggest issue for me was the tab on the retention strap.......
Great review. I was looking for a holster like this, myself, and was blasted by the ad. It looked real tantalizing, but I figured I'd check out a review before I bought it. Appreciate the honesty, and your concerns are absolutely valid.
Thank you Sir ! Well done review. I saw the VNSH ad and from the ad I was sold on the product. Of course I started looking for review videos first - which are difficult to find. If VNSH fixes the two main issues - including one huge deal breaker - trigger cover still allowing a trigger pull - that is unacceptable - I will reconsider purchasing one. Not happy with the hold-in strap but I can look past that. Looks very comfortable for wear with beach clothes, etc. I am not truly happy with the magazine pouches being on the same side as my firing hand (I would have to reach across my body to grab the spare mag) but I can accept that. Stick a tourniquet in there instead. Thanks again for the review !!!!
Anthony, great review on VNSH. I know that the company has responded to the concerns and the corrections appear to work. Anthony, thank you for being a great American. Blessings always.
This is exactly what I was looking for. I also tried to find real reviews but had no luck. It's near impossible to get a good idea of how good a product is when companies post ficticious reviews.
Thanks for the great review! Saved me some money, also saw where one guy posted that on a full size pistol the rront sight catches on the bottom of the holster..
Extremely grateful for your very very honest review.. I was going to buy my stepfather this holster because he's been wanting one since he's seen it.. he carries everyday, but I know how he is.. he's very meticulous. Not so much petty, but just meticulous on things like comfort and mobility.. I am no longer even thinking about purchasing this item anymore. And I was literally just moments away from purchasing one for him, and I decided let me go to RUclips, let me look at some reviews from honest people who have BOUGHT the item and USED IT vrs just the standard commercial saying "HEY THIS THING FITS PERFECT , IT'S VERY COMFORTABLE AND IT CARRIES EVERYTHING".. I think a script that every company that's ever tried to sell anything goes by!! Thank you again for your very very honest review you saved me some money! Stay safe✌️
Thank you so much for the review. I was considering this holster, but the points you bring up have me waiting to see if a VNSH Holster 2.0 surfaces. Thanks, again.
Thank you for reviewing this holster! Im looking to purchase a few for myself & family members. It seems these issues are super easy to fix and I hope the makers do address them. Thanks again as I know it's not easy to make quality videos like this and we've all seen the bad ones.😵💫.
Excellent work and review. You said at the beginning that you may be called "Knit picky" about some of the issues that you raise, but seeing as this is a concealed carry holster, and could end up in a life or death scenario, I applaud you for the deep dive into the many small issues that this very expensive holster/belt has. I was going to purchase two of these for myself and my wife, who are both left-handed, and they list the thing as being truly ambidextrous, however, there were no photos on the site demonstrating how it is, which led me down the rabbit hole that is RUclips, and I am glad I did. Cudos to you sir... and good luck in your search...
First, your honesty on not being a weapons specialist is refreshing. Your breakdown of this product is outstanding. Covering issues most would not think about before purchase. I've been looking into this type of holster for my wife. I appreciate your honesty and breakdown after giving the setup a try.
Dude, thank you for this review. The two dead stop reasons you gave about this holster is important to me as well, trigger safety holstered and ease of draw. I hope VNSH will consider these.
Thanks Anthony. I watched Adam's response to your review and was pleasantly surprised that he acknowledged your concerns. I believe that he will make the suggested improvements and then I'm buying.
I was looking for a good holster for my Glock 26 and I saw his ads a few times. I always passed by when he brought up that cumbersome holster. Today I saw it again and decided to find a review and see how other people like it. So, in short…your review giving me no doubt. Thanks
You have some good points, however I purchased mine two weeks ago with no stitch issue. I used all four of my glocks from compact to full size with no trigger issue and no belly issue. I used the holster at the range and didnt have any issue with quick release of guard strap. Also went jogging and the batting cage for three rounds of 18 pitchs at 65 mph with no issue with holster. With that said as a retire cop I'm ordering one for my Marine son for his birthday who did a combat tour.
Just got online to order this holster but wanted to find a review first . I think I will also wait to see if the fix the trigger issue and the snap issue . Thank you for the great review , it was honest and fair.
Thanks for the honest review. there's not very many good things to say about this holster I was going to buy it but after watching this I realize it's a waste of money. Thank you.
Excellent review! These issues are real simple for the VNSH team to fix! Expand the trigger guard a bit, ship a microfiber flap for the Velcro hooks for us 40” + guys and clean up the snap release. I have 2 other belts, this one is far better thought out than the comfortac and the other. You gave very fair review! Fyi, I wear my existing belts over a tshirt, not against skin. Not easy in summer.
I appreciate you review, I have held off buying one because the price vs the material just doesn't seem to match up to me. But it's nice to see it real review. Thank you Anthony.
Wow! Thank you brother I was literally getting ready to purchase this but was hesitant because their video claimed there's all these reviews, however none could be found. Until I saw your independent review which for me was way better than any company review or review shown on their website. I noticed things that would have affected me with my athletic build. All of the things you mentioned were very concerning and ultimately you saved me my money. Furthermore, your selfless service inspired me to do the same thing in the future for others when it comes to any other product like this. I'm especially cautious with anything trying to be sold in a RUclips commercial as they are often not what they claim, and this certainly was one of them. Again thank you very much for taking the time out to educate us all and save us the headache. Be safe out there brother.
2 things:
1) VNSH has seen this and replied. Kudos to them! Check out their response at ruclips.net/video/sOOq_m8FyeE/видео.html

Honestly, they'd be better off with reverse bra hooks. or at least an option for that.
Great review! Almost wasted $80 on a sub par belt when I can pay half for a better one. Thanks!

That's good to hear because I have one coming pretty soon,how has it been holding up???

Great review. Thank you for posting this since there aren't many independent videos on the VNSH holster.
Thank you for your honest & reasonable review… I wasn’t sure if I wanted to take a chance on it or not. Now I will look around for other styles… you definitely helped me. Thanks Again
Thank you brother. I was tempted by their BOGO deal they're incessantly advertising right now. I carry the shield and the possibility of an ND due to inadequate trigger protection is an absolute deal breaker for me. That snap release issue is also wuite the problem too. I appreciate you taking the time to help the rest of us out!
Respect for this review and for VNSH reply. I'm a bigger guy too so the extension for the belt helped me out greatly with that issue. One of the other problems I had with the belt was the fact the extra pockets for your clips were on the gun side of the holster, clips should be carried on your support side. VNSH also fixed that by adding their duel mag pouch that can be placed anywhere on the belt so now on this one holster I carry my pistol, flashlight and a knife on my strong side and two clips on the support side. I wish other companies would listen to their customers with an open perception. This is how positive changes are made and it works out great for everyone.
Thank you for the honest review! It would be great to see more holster reviews form you
Thanks so much for this independent review.The ad has been popping up daily recently, and I fwd it to some Family members.I just sent the ad, VNSH YT page, and this review to follow up and give them complete info. I will wait for the upgraded version as well. $130 is a lot to spend on a product that could use some tweaking.
VNSH saw my review and responded. I give them respect for their reply. ref: ruclips.net/video/sOOq_m8FyeE/видео.html
Really appreciated the review. I agree with all of your concerns, and you saved me a lot of grief and $90. Thank you .
Thank you for the thoughtful review! I've loved the Raven holsters for about 20+ years, but I'm always keeping my eyes open for the next great holster. If VNSH makes a 2.0 version, correcting the issues, I think I'd be willing to try one.
Great job, saved me some money.
Thank you. I was set on ordering, I am happy to see your review. I may buy someday if those issues gets corrected. Not until then.
Thank you for your honest review. Wish there were more honest reviews on YT. Cheers!
Hey Anthony, I also bought the holster and found the same issues. I am also a big guy and I did get the extender piece and that made ALL the difference fitting comfortable. Practicing with it a little bit and I found reaching for the gun, using my trigger finger to pull the front strap pops the buttons apart pretty easy. I had a few strings on mine also, I used a lighter and singed each one down. But yes I agree with you on ALL POINTS, they could have done a better job. I was going to return mine also but I am willing to bet you they made you offers to keep it like they did me. I got the $20 extender piece free, and ended up with 2 discounts on my holster that ended up only costing me $20 for everything. They gave me some really good discounts due to wanting a refund on it. So, I still have it and I am learning it a lot now and to be honest, I love it now and the extender piece was the game changer for me from hate to love. P.S. I carry a full size 1911 in mine and as hard as you have to dig in to get the tigger while inside the holster, that didn't bother me.
We hear happy to hear the extender worked for you and we're working to fix all these issues and tighten up quality control
@@vnshholsters any idea when the revised version will be sold?
@@andygosche1839 in rapid prototyping now. We hope to have something in 6-8 weeks. Hardest part is offering a rock-solid trigger guard in a fabric-based product. But we'll get it!
@@vnshholsters Please let me know when the new version is available. Frankly, I had my CC info alrready entered but then looked harder for an independent review and found this one. FYI, The biggest issue for me was the tab on the retention strap.......
You saved me from spending more money on yet another. To add to the drawer. Thanks I really appreciate the video.
Great review. I was looking for a holster like this, myself, and was blasted by the ad. It looked real tantalizing, but I figured I'd check out a review before I bought it. Appreciate the honesty, and your concerns are absolutely valid.
Thanks Anthony, appreciate you taking the time to do an informative review.
Man, I super appreciate you making this review. That design flaw with the snap on the strap is a killer for me.
One of the best reviews I've ever seen for a product. Thank you!!!!
Thank you Sir ! Well done review. I saw the VNSH ad and from the ad I was sold on the product. Of course I started looking for review videos first - which are difficult to find. If VNSH fixes the two main issues - including one huge deal breaker - trigger cover still allowing a trigger pull - that is unacceptable - I will reconsider purchasing one. Not happy with the hold-in strap but I can look past that. Looks very comfortable for wear with beach clothes, etc. I am not truly happy with the magazine pouches being on the same side as my firing hand (I would have to reach across my body to grab the spare mag) but I can accept that. Stick a tourniquet in there instead. Thanks again for the review !!!!
Anthony, great review on VNSH. I know that the company has responded to the concerns and the corrections appear to work. Anthony, thank you for being a great American. Blessings always.
Thanks for doing this review. After watching Adam's reply video I'm probably going to try one once the changes are made.
Thanks for reviewing this. I was always curious about these. Honest reviews like this are what we yhe people really need.
Thanks for taking the time to share this feedback with the company & the broader 2A world!
Thank you sir - I was just about to pull the trigger on this holster. You just saved me $80!!!!
This is exactly what I was looking for. I also tried to find real reviews but had no luck. It's near impossible to get a good idea of how good a product is when companies post ficticious reviews.
Thanks for the great review! Saved me some money, also saw where one guy posted that on a full size pistol the rront sight catches on the bottom of the holster..
Extremely grateful for your very very honest review.. I was going to buy my stepfather this holster because he's been wanting one since he's seen it.. he carries everyday, but I know how he is.. he's very meticulous. Not so much petty, but just meticulous on things like comfort and mobility.. I am no longer even thinking about purchasing this item anymore. And I was literally just moments away from purchasing one for him, and I decided let me go to RUclips, let me look at some reviews from honest people who have BOUGHT the item and USED IT vrs just the standard commercial saying "HEY THIS THING FITS PERFECT , IT'S VERY COMFORTABLE AND IT CARRIES EVERYTHING".. I think a script that every company that's ever tried to sell anything goes by!! Thank you again for your very very honest review you saved me some money! Stay safe✌️
Thank you so much for the review. I was considering this holster, but the points you bring up have me waiting to see if a VNSH Holster 2.0 surfaces. Thanks, again.
Great review Anthony. This type of review helps the whole community.
Good review. Thanks , I've been looking at the VNSH. Like you, I'll wait for the improved version.
Thank you for reviewing this holster!
Im looking to purchase a few for myself & family members. It seems these issues are super easy to fix and I hope the makers do address them.
Thanks again as I know it's not easy to make quality videos like this and we've all seen the bad ones.😵💫.

Thank you for your thorough review, it answered many questions I had and I also couldn't find any reviews.
Thanks for the honest review, I was about ready to order and the add disappeared on me so I decided to look on you tube for reviews. Thanks Again
I was curious about this holster and this just answered my questions. Thank you brother, great review!
Excellent work and review. You said at the beginning that you may be called "Knit picky" about some of the issues that you raise, but seeing as this is a concealed carry holster, and could end up in a life or death scenario, I applaud you for the deep dive into the many small issues that this very expensive holster/belt has. I was going to purchase two of these for myself and my wife, who are both left-handed, and they list the thing as being truly ambidextrous, however, there were no photos on the site demonstrating how it is, which led me down the rabbit hole that is RUclips, and I am glad I did. Cudos to you sir... and good luck in your search...
Thank you for such a thorough review!
I hope the maker of the holster sees this video and makes the suggested changes.
Thank you for saving me $85!

Thanks for the review Anthony. I considered buying one for a friend for Christmas. I’ll keep looking.
Thank you for this review and saving me the trouble of having to return this holster.
First, your honesty on not being a weapons specialist is refreshing.
Your breakdown of this product is outstanding. Covering issues most would not think about before purchase. I've been looking into this type of holster for my wife. I appreciate your honesty and breakdown after giving the setup a try.
Thank U for that! I was going to purchase one for my son. Thanks to U i will not be wasting my $ on it. Great review man!
Dude, thank you for this review. The two dead stop reasons you gave about this holster is important to me as well, trigger safety holstered and ease of draw. I hope VNSH will consider these.
Appreciate the review. You saved me the aggravation of finding out myself. I’ll wait for for revisions.
Man I have been on the fence about buying one, thank you very much for this video. I hope they take this into consideration and change it.
Thanks Anthony. I watched Adam's response to your review and was pleasantly surprised that he acknowledged your concerns. I believe that he will make the suggested improvements and then I'm buying.
I was looking for a good holster for my Glock 26 and I saw his ads a few times. I always passed by when he brought up that cumbersome holster. Today I saw it again and decided to find a review and see how other people like it. So, in short…your review giving me no doubt. Thanks
You have some good points, however I purchased mine two weeks ago with no stitch issue. I used all four of my glocks from compact to full size with no trigger issue and no belly issue. I used the holster at the range and didnt have any issue with quick release of guard strap. Also went jogging and the batting cage for three rounds of 18 pitchs at 65 mph with no issue with holster. With that said as a retire cop I'm ordering one for my Marine son for his birthday who did a combat tour.
Just got online to order this holster but wanted to find a review first . I think I will also wait to see if the fix the trigger issue and the snap issue . Thank you for the great review , it was honest and fair.

I was super close to buying one but then I saw this video. level 2 security design is a breaker for me too. Thanks for the review
Excellent review. Needed to see this before making a decision. I'm still looking for the right holster.
Thanks for the honest review. there's not very many good things to say about this holster I was going to buy it but after watching this I realize it's a waste of money. Thank you.
Thank you for providing this content. This company put so much money into advertising when they should of used it on R&D for a quality product
Great video! Honest presentation and your video just made my decision for me. If they fix these issues I will definitely buy one..
Excellent review! These issues are real simple for the VNSH team to fix! Expand the trigger guard a bit, ship a microfiber flap for the Velcro hooks for us 40” + guys and clean up the snap release. I have 2 other belts, this one is far better thought out than the comfortac and the other. You gave very fair review! Fyi, I wear my existing belts over a tshirt, not against skin. Not easy in summer.
Raymon, glad to hear you like it more than the Comfortac! And your suggestions are great ideas.
THANKS. Your info on the trigger guard is valuable.
I appreciate you review, I have held off buying one because the price vs the material just doesn't seem to match up to me. But it's nice to see it real review. Thank you Anthony.
Thanks for the review Anthony. This did help me. I was on the fence about this holster for my M&P Shield plus, but I think I'll look elsewhere.
Smart review, brother!!! Just what I needed! Almost "pulled the trigger" on it. Pun intended! Please, be well!
Great review. Thoughtful and comprehensive. Thank you for making it!
Wow! Thank you brother I was literally getting ready to purchase this but was hesitant because their video claimed there's all these reviews, however none could be found. Until I saw your independent review which for me was way better than any company review or review shown on their website. I noticed things that would have affected me with my athletic build. All of the things you mentioned were very concerning and ultimately you saved me my money. Furthermore, your selfless service inspired me to do the same thing in the future for others when it comes to any other product like this. I'm especially cautious with anything trying to be sold in a RUclips commercial as they are often not what they claim, and this certainly was one of them. Again thank you very much for taking the time out to educate us all and save us the headache. Be safe out there brother.
Wonderful well thought out review thank you so much. I hope the manufacturer is tuned in.
Thank you for your honest review I use alot of work out shorts and its a holster i was looking at. thank you again.
