DeSantis Nemesis holster

Post by mattswabb »

Bought a Desantis Nemesis pocket holster for the Sig230. You stick this inside your wasteband and is stays in place. Just as they say it sticks. The inside is smooth, almost too smooth. I might be worried about it falling out, not a retention holster like the fobus, not tight as the Don Hume. Drawing the weapon is smooth and quite.

mattswabb,

I think the DeSantis Nemesis is designed as a pocket holster, I haven't tried it as a IWB, but it might work as a Mexican carry.

It may work if you are not running or fighting someone. I have ordered the clipdraw.....that way I have a forbus for one, a clipdraw for one and a Don Hume J.I.T. leather holster for the third. ;D

Papa Bear is correct, that holster is for carrying in your pocket, not inside the waistband. The exterior is designed to grip the inside of your pocket, but is not secure for waistband carry.

Correct. I bought it for both pocket carry and to slip inside my waistband.

So why wouldn't you use this as an IWB holster? So I slip it in my front or rear pocket or I tuck it into my waistband, same thing. Holster is just as secure. It's not like I'm some gang banger wanna be with way oversized baggy pants and the holster is always falling out.

And I'll also use my Don Hume JIT slide as a pocket holster even though it is a belt holster.

Just make sure you try out the different carry options.

I'm not sure the Don Hume JIT would work well as a pocket holster because it would be too tough to get the pistol out of the holster in a hurry (while in your pocket). It might take two hands. On your belt it is fine because you have the extra leverage - AND you want the pistol to "stick" in there good.

I have stuck the Nemesis behind my back ala "Mexican carry" for a short period of time. For a long period of time, I would be leery of the holster slipping around though and/or dumping the pistol out (because the inside is slick). If it had some sort of clip, it might be better (but then I guess it would really be IWB).

Mattswab, I think they are saying the gun may fall out of the holster, not that the holster will come out of your waistband.
(What model holster is that -- I'm looking for one for my pocket?)
