DeSantis Pocket-Tuk

[sparksjr]

Just picked up a Ruger LCR to replace my M&P9c as my concealed carry firearm and immediately ordered a [url="http://www.desantisholster.com/store/SEARCH-BY-GUN-MANUFACTURER/RUGER/LCR-1-78/POCKET-HOLSTERS/LCR-sp101"]DeSantis Pocket-Tuk[/url] on eBay for $20 shipped. Anyone have experience with this combo or just the DeSantis Pocket-Tuk itself? Reviews around the web seem mostly positive with the main complaints being unstable during IWB use and some saying it doesn't hold the gun as securely over time. Most of those guys are carrying the LCP so I am thinking the slightly larger girth of the LCR will help with the second issue but am afraid the extra weight will magnify the first issue. The item number on DeSantis' website also differs slightly for the holster recommended for each gun.

Hell, maybe I am just trying to justify my purchase? Looking for anyone with experience that can throw their two cents in. If not, I guess I will find out by Friday when it gets here (hopefully).

I purchase one a few weeks ago for my Pf9. I ended up cutting the big wing off of it intended for pocket carry since I already have a pocket holster for it. I haven't used it alot but the times I did it carried just fine. I could imagine it being a little uncomfortable with a revolver but who knows. With the leather being thinner it might not shield your body as well from the cylinder of the gun. You may not even notice this though.

To address your questions: The clip is very solid and is actually hard to get off of the belt so I wouldn't worry about it failing. With a proper gun belt it seems very solid and stays in place. I am used to kydex type retention so it is definately a step down in that area. It has held the weapon in fine so far but I could see it stretching after some use. I wouldn't do cartwheels with it on but it will hold the gun in normal situations. I think they are worth the money.
