Wanting to look at other IWB options and have read a lot on this one.

Seems interesting,  just curious if anyone is using one and their thoughts. On my phone now but will link to it when I get home if needed.  But it's the stealthgear onyx.

Screw it. They're having a little sale for Memorial day so I ordered their custom patriot kydex iwb.  

Will post a review once I get it.

I have an onyx. I love it. I forget it is there even in the hot AZ summer. It rides really well and disappears on my body. If you happen to not like it they do have a 30 day guarantee.

I debated the original onyx vs the new reduced size, but went with the original.

I'm pretty good sized with a bit of a beer gut, hopefully it's the right choice.  We'll see when it gets here. Could be up to 45 days. ...

I've tried many of the major brands out there over the years, SG is the best IMO.  

You'll love it.

Good to hear. Hopefully my experience is similar.

I have a Crossbreed for my 19 and like it,  but I'd like to carry the Shield more.  Will compare the 2.

Anyone have any idea of their current lead time?

I don't recall the model name, I have the appendix rig for my Shield, and it is pretty comfortable for what it is. Price is in the higher end of what I'd want to pay for a holster such as this, as well as the shipping timeframes. I was told when I ordered it would take 45 days, and I'd get an email with shipping info, the holster was about a week earlier than quoted, but no email arrived, so it was a pleasant surprise in the mail, but the CS did state when I asked that shipping quotes are not exaggerated on their end of things, so expect to wait the full quoted amount of time.

I have no issue finding pictures of their standard holsters,  but when I ordered this special edition patriot kydex I couldn't find a picture.

Lol I still haven't. Not that it really matters, it's concealed.

I have one for my glock 19.
I love it, more expensive than crossbreed and aliengear but way better in many ways.
Smaller, hides better and is cooler.
The crossbreed is hot and the aliengear feels and concels like 2x6 plank

I carry a G23 in a Stealthgear Onyx.  It's simply the best holster I've ever used, bar none.    It's not hot at all,  it's extremely comfortable,  it holds the G23 very well, with no digging.  I don't notice any hot spot on my hip or anything.  


I'll be getting another one for my 1911 for the few times a year i carry it.  Great holsters.  If you're in Utah,  call Jim Barker at Inner10sports.com, he got mine fast and for a good price.

Very nice.  Have any of you had to adjust the cant, or ride height?  That is important to me,  or at least has been with other holsters.

Yea, I moved one of the clips one notch. My favorite holster by far and I've tried all the major ones.

I received an Onyx a couple weeks for my 938 and it was plug & play,no adjustments necessary. I'll be ordering another shortly for my 320.
There's a couple of Ebay sellers that have a few available for certain gun models,but looks like they're selling out so pickings are pretty slim. I got the last 938 holster they had.

Ill be "that" guy.  I ordered one.  It took a hell of a lot longer than I expected, based on their guidance.  Supposed to be 2 weeks, it was close to 2 months.



Once it arrived it just wasn't comfortable.  CZ P-07.  Granted, I have not carried enough to be broken in.  But compared to my Crossbreeds, I am meh.  Might change as I carry more.

Everyone is different,  can't be perfect for everyone you know?

The site shows a generic 45 day lead time. I can wait, it'll be here when it gets here.

I carry my 19 in a Crossbreed and like it. But I do notice the hot spot.  Plus, while it's more comfortable than other IWB's I've carried,  it could be more comfortable.

That was my problem with them, website showed something like 2 week ship time.  When I emailed after the first month I was told it would ship that week and it didn't.  If you look around it isn't all that uncommon with them.



Neat design idea though, I hope I end up liking it.

I like their holsters, not real impressed with their customer service.  

Received a holster with quality issues and was told I'd have a replacement in about a week, took almost a month.

Left them an honest, less than favorable quality review, they didn't post it.

Nice. All the research I did seemed to show about 9-1 love it vs hate it.  Hopefully I'll be in the former camp.

I assume they'll send me an email tomorrow,  hopefully won't have to wait too long...

I carry a XD-S 9mm in an Onyx every day. I love it. I managed to bend one of the belt clips badly though, so I just replaced them both with the plastic ones from my old Alien Gear holster.

Metal clips? Think polymer is standard? Maybe I'm confused.

Researched the crap out of this one.  Hickock45 mentioned liking it in one of his vids and that convinced me to order their new mini-IWB model for my recently acquired Walther PPS M2.  Figure it will be much nicer down here in South Florida during swamp ass season compared to the crossbreed I was originally considering.

Ordered just last week so can't give an honest review just yet.

What was the sale?  Is it still going on?

ETA: is it just me or does the cant on their IWB holster look like a lot more than 15 degrees?  I know it's adjustable, but if you move one of the clips for less cant it probably goes to near vertical instead of 10-15 degrees.  Or are the pictures just fooling me; they are on an angle afterall which is kind of dumb...

Yeah site is poorly designed.  You have to first choose a gun and then get to see what holsters are available for that gun.  They should just have a link right on the home page to pictures and descriptions of all their products...

But it's iwb lol.  Free shipping helps though.
