REVIEW:

I’ve always wanted to get an IWB, inside the waistband, holster for my self-defense pistols, but with so many options out there it was hard to decide on the one I should buy.  I saw this brand out there, We The People, and thought I like what they stand for so I should give them a try.

If you go look at their sight you’ll notice a ton of other options, such as colors, adjustments, and many others.  I stuck to my guns and went with the US Constitution style print “We The People” color.  Yes, I know the thing will be hidden, but I had the option…so I bought it.  My specific holster was for my FN 5.7, which isn’t a small handgun to conceal.  I wanted to see how it felt, sitting, driving, working on the ranch, or doing basically anything to tell me this was or wasn’t a “Top Shelf” item.  Well, I’m hear to tell you even with a couple cons on the list the final conclusion on this holster was that it was a  “Top Shelf” item.

The next bid deal for me was it needed to securely hold the pistol when doing an activities, like trail jogging or riding a bike.  The We Thebest holster People holsters do have a solid retention screw, so you can tighten it down to secure your firearm in the holster.  I know someone who lost their handgun in the mountains using a kydex holster, and as I suspected they didn’t tighten the screw down securing their pistols…that’s not good.   So, lesson learned from a friend, make sure you adjust your holster to secure your handgun.

The FN 5.7 IWB Holster comes with a great warranty, if not purchased through a third party.  I’m not certain it’s lifetime, but they say they’ll stand behind the product. Yes, that is “Top Shelf!”

COST:   $41.00
