LETTERS FROM CUSTOMERS

I purchased a Shortcut holster from your company a while back. I use it to
carry my duty Sig P-229 off-duty and when I work in plainclothes. I have
been extremely happy with that holster. The design and workmanship are
excellent. Based on that holster, I do plan to make more purchases from
your line of products.

I recently purchased one of your new combination holsters (*14) and a mag pouch (#30) and I am totally satisfied. I am able to wear them both comfortably all day and they are very concealable. Thank you for such a great product, I am recommending your products to all of my shooting friends!!

Sincerely,

LadyFist Holsters. A while back Jim Murnak of Fist Holsters posted here looking for ladies to test holsters for him. My wife was a volunteer. I am happy to say that she now has a COMFORTABLE concealment holster for a FULL SIZE Glock 17. Many ladies have a problem with the gun digging into their ribs. Jims ideas solve that problem. You can see her holster at www.fist-inc.com It is the black one at the lower right hand corner of the page. It also has the easy on/easy off option that is a LOT better than a paddle. BILL

Just sending a note thanking you for my new custom holster from Fist Inc. It's great, fits my S&W CS45 perfectly and rreally looks great. I'm impressed and plan on telling all my gun toting friends about you guys. I can show them the finished product and show them the cost as compared to other holster makers. Once again, thanks for a great fitting and great looking holster.

Thanks,

Subj: Testimonial

To: FIST98@AOL.COM

Like many consumers, I was quite leary of your ads in various magazines and
having seen no reviews by the gunwriting community at large, I was unsure

After receiving your #20 IWB for my H&K USP 40, I am absolutely astonished. I
have other holsters from very well known holster manufacturers and they do not
come close to what you have provided me. The fit, finish and accessories in
your #50 accessory pack strike me as in the top 5 in the industry. I expected
the accessory package to include just some flimsy velcro gadget that would allow
me to attach the holster to the belt and suffer due to the convenience. How
wrong I was: first, the package is comprehensive with not only velcro
attachments but accessories for snap straps aside from the fixed straps that
come with the holster. Second, using this same holster, with its varying
degrees of angle adjustability, the weapon and holster disappear under my
clothes. This is astonishing considering the weapon that I have chosen is
about as concealable as a box of cheerios!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Further, I ordered my holster via e-mail with a request for confirmation. To
my astonishment, your company called me personally to advise that the order was
received, when it would be completed and when it would be shipped. In a second
follow-up I asked if it had been shipped and received a confirmation back within
minutes via e-mail.

Yours is a progressive company that is extremely customer service oriented. As
a representative for an insurance company, and depending on the same level of
customer service to feed my family I am very appreciative when I receive the
same service that I try to give my customers. Whatever the president is paying
the people that there, it is NOT ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

whether to plop down my hard-earned money for a secure package for my weapon.
I am a large man. I am 6'4 and 230 pounds and I have the ability to hide almost
any sized weapon easily as long as the holster system I am using is well made
and well designed for the task.

Congratulations on a tailor made product, a keen sense of customer service, and
a commitment to the shooting community that more companies should adopt.

Regards,

I purchased an in the waist band adjustable a couple of months ago. I am very please with the holster. It is attractive, well made and comfortable. I have tried a Galco and one from Horseshoe Leather. The FIST is by far the most comfortable. I will certainly purchase a FIST when I need another holster.

Thank you.

You guys are great. My new holster for my Kimbers Pro Carry fits just the
way I like it. I have never bought a holster by mail before because I
didn't think it would turn out very good. I love it and I stay true to
those who do me right. You definitely do really good work and I will talk
you up to all of my gun carrying friends.

Thanks

I'm tall and slim, and can easily hide a full size HK USP40 and two spare mags under a suitcoat or untucked shirt with a Jim Murnak made FIST pancake holster. Its beautiful - the workmanship is immaculate, and I would highly recommend Jim's products.

Well, hello Jim,

Holster arrived last night.. My first impression is WOW, that really is neat!!!

Seems to work real well.. I have a crocodile skin belt with the 'bumbs' on it.. I can adjust the holster in or out, depending on which of the notches I put through the loop.. I had it on & wore it around for a couple of hours last night... No problem at all doing anything.. sit, stand, bend, tie my shoes, drive a car, pick up stuff from the floor..all that good stuff, no problem at all.. seems like you have struck on a good idea.. the gun didn't bother me at all..

(althought my belt does need an extra hole in it.. nothing to do with the holster.. I think it shrank during the winter.. tee hee..).. anyway, will fix the belt so I can wear it without the holster this morning & then wear the gun & holster today at the range.. I will be out there for some time.. I really conceals nicely too.. gun is good to get in & out of the holster.. I see no problems with it.. I am aware of the gun being there, but it in no way bothered me at all.. When I stand up straight, the gun barely touches me.. (only on the breast a little) but that is my problem..didn't bother me at all.. I will keep you informed after I wear it around for the next 4 days..

I had to beat Tom off with a stick, he wanted to keep it.. he tried it on his belt & wanted to know why he couldn't have it too.. he thought it was neat.

I will be in touch..

I received the holster for my Kel-tec P-11
yesterday. You really did a nice job on the fit
and finish. I like it. Thank you very much.

Received my Browning HP-40, style #9, and single mag. pouch in Mahogany
today. It was perfect! I must say that the color, hardmolding and the
modifications were great. I would also like to take this chance to
thank Mr. Murnak for taking the time to talk to me and answering my
questions. His advise of having a full reinforcement makes all the
difference also. I have already passed along your catalog to the rest
of the probation officers in my office.

PS...Next pay period, I am considering getting the same holster and mag
pouch for my SW-645. I know it is not among your list, but would the
similarities in the SW-4506 allow it to fit. Please let me know.

Thanks once again,

I recently purchased a #22 for my Glock 23. I am thoroughly impressed with your craftsmanship. This holster functions perfectly and the finish is gorgeous. If you can make one for the 8045 that is as beautiful as this one, I will definitely buy from you again. Great work!

Thank you,

Jim, I received my #1clip holster today for my Sig 239. "EXCELLENT", the best clip type holster I've ever owned.

Thanks.......

Jim, just a short note here. Got back from Chapman Academy Saturday. Your holster worked perfect. I had zero failures with my equipment. 2000 rounds and not a single failure to feed. Gun must have been in and out of the holster close to a 1,000 times.

My qualification of the course was "Expert", with a percentage of 84.7%. I figure your holster was a big part of my ability to get on target fast.

Thanks for the quality product and the quick service!

Joe Fortune

I received my Fist #19 Adjustable IWB holster yesterday and wanted to
drop you a note to say that I'm very pleased with it. Construction is
very solid, fit and gun retention is good, and the finish is very nice.
I also really appreciate having the ability to adjust the ride and cant
of the holster to fit my body and preferences. Makes it easy to get the
gun to ride right where I want it and prevent 'printing'. I can't
complain about the delivery time for a custom holster either, 17 days
from the time I ordered to delivery.

Thanks, I'll be sure to tell everyone about my experience. By the way,
I learned about you from 'The Firing Line' website.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Murnak,

Thank you so much for redesigning my #12 Basic holster for the Ruger P94. It is absolutely perfect and now very comfortable. My nightmare of trying to find a holster for this pistol is over after two years. Thank you once again for your time, efforts and courtesies on my behalf.

Sincerely,

I cant wait to get another pistol, so that I can order another holster from FIST.

I just received the holster I ordered from you last night. Fit,

I look forward to purchasing my next holster from you. Thanks again for a
great product!!

Jim Murnak- I received my B. T. W. Holster. It is a piece of art. Fit very good. It is exactly what I ordered. Well done. When I show it to the guys at my club you might be getting a few orders. It is a great concept. Is it possible to get a single mag pouch in the same B T W for a PPK/S magazine (380 Cal). If so what would it cost? Thanks from a very pleased customer.

I wanted to tell you how impressed I am with my new Drop Front Holster! I
have recently purchased holsters from two nationally recognized
manufacturers but was unhappy with the way they fit my body. That is the KEY
difference with your holster; it is clearly made be worn, comfortably, not
just to look good in an advertisement. Although, it looks great too! You can
be sure this will not be the last holster I purchase from Fist.

To everyone at FIST Inc. -

I just received a model 8SP holster for my Glock30, and all I can say is - thank you for a great product! The quality, the price(under 25 bucks?!?!?! - unbelievable!), the way it fits the gun(and me!) - this is unquestionably the finest holster that I've ever purchased. Keep up the good work - it's refreshing in this day and age to be able to get a quality product at a reasonable price. Once again, thank you!

Mr. Murnack,

A few weeks ago I recieved the mahogony holster you made for my Glock 23 along with the belt and magazine carrier. I didn't want to write too soon until after I had a chance to test it out, but my first impression was that it was beautiful.

After playing around with different places to secure it to my hip, I finally found a place that was comfortable, accessible, and concealable. My best friend, Leslie, carries a Glock 19 in a Blade Tech holster, and she was immediately envious of the rich, detailed leather.

The magazine carrier was the only problem - it was so tight I literally COULD NOT get the magazine out of it, and thought I was going to send it back and go for a kydex replacement. But then my husband treated its insides with some of Mitch Rosen's "Leather Lightening." Now the magazine stays secure, removes as easily as kydex, and looks a whole lot nicer.

Thanks for the wonderful guarantee of being able to send back the holster if I didn't like it, even though it was somewhat custom done. However, after carrying the gun for a week and a half in it, I won't be sending it back! It's the only thing that has ever fit me that I can wear under a loose shirt, and it's practically invisible.

Thanks for a great product, reasonable price, GREAT service.

Sincerely,

Donna K. Hammond


well, I've been using my new custom holster that you made just for my
gun. I love that there is not another like it anywhere! Only one
problem is that I'm always forgetting I am wearing it and when I undress
at night, ((( "Thunk" ))) it hits the floor. I am getting better at
remembering to take my Kahr9 out first, but I still forget now and then.
Thanks for making the MOST comfortable holster I have EVER worn. I'm
sure to wear this one every day (already have for the past month!)
I have been carrying for fifteen years or so, and have NEVER had a
better holster!

Your holsters were received on Friday and as usual, they look and
functioned great. Thanks one again for the heads up call. To you and
your staff, a very Merry Xmas and a great New Year. David Lam

I recently Purchased a #70 Vertical Shoulder Holster. Due to my lack of checks one of the long Chicago screws that hold the Holster to the Shoulder straps got loose and lost. How much for a replacement screw or two?

By the way the rig is perfect, I love it!!

Dear Everyone At FIST,

I used the # 8 for my Glock 27. When I purchased my Tauruses I was pleased
to see that you also made the # 8 for both my Taurus Model 617 (357mag) and
Model 731 (32 H&R mag). So I so I sent for two more right away, they are like
wearing no holster at all. Thank you.

Hi there, just wanted to thank you folks. I recieved my new holster for my
Ruger p-90 on x-mas eve. After many disappointments with other holster
"want a be's", it was refreshing to get a solid, no-nonsence, practical
holster for a reasonable price and with in three weeks no less! Nice work

It certainly was worth the wait, Jim. My Glock 26 fits it like a glove and, I don't ever recall wearing a more comfortable shoulder rig...I've been endorsing your products to all my friends... and bought one of your ISP Glock 27 holsters as a Christmas present for my brother-in-law...

You guys do wonderful work... thanks again... and, Happy New Year!

I just wanted to let you all know about an experience I just had with FIST,
Inc., Jim Murnak's holster company. I had ordered a holster from him which
I ended up not liking... turns out that it was defective, should never have
left his shop, and he was very sorry. So sorry in fact, that he is
replacing that holster with a different one of a different model, AND
sending me a non-defective one of the original model at no cost, AND sending
me a prototype he wants me to test. I'm not saying he makes a habit of
this, but I'm impressed. In 1999 I'm happy to get what I order, and don't
expect actual SERVICE! This guy is fantastic... The holsters themselves are
high quality and less than Rosen or Galco. If any of you are in the market,
check out his web site:

I got my FIST holster last week. It's for my revolver, not a Glock, but the
experience is probably generalizable.

As readers may recall, I bought a S&W 625 V-Comp, which differs from the
standard 625 in several ways. I learned the hard way that it wouldn't fit
holsters made for the much more common 625.

Actually, even finding holsters made for the standard 625 that would pass IDPA
standards (since I plan to use this gun for that competition) was hard enough.
FIST was one of the few companies that listed it as one of the models for which
they could make any of their holsters. Since they offer thousands of variations,
I e-mailed Jim Murnak to ask whether they could make a holster for the 625-VC.
It was either that or pay a premium price for a truly custom one, probably with
months of waiting.

He asked me how it differed from the regular 625. I pointed him to the S&W web
site with photos of it, but specifically mentioned that it has a shorter barrel
but with two different interchangeable muzzles; the sights appear taller; the
cynlinder is unfluted; the cross-sectional contour of the underlug is fuller.
These are enough differences that I assumed he would need to be sent the gun in
order to make a holster. To my surprise, he said, no problem, and they didn't
need the gun sent.

I ordered his #13 ("Sport"), with an optional tension screw, a radical forward
cant, a body protector flap, in dark brown.

Well, as far as I can tell, the thing is perfect. Maybe it's not as tricky as I
was thinking, but I'm astounded that they could get what seems to be a custom
fit for a gun they didn't have on hand. The sight channel is plenty deep for the
taller sights. The length matches the longer muzzle attachment. The holster is
shaped just right for the fuller underlug (which was what kept the gun from
fitting into the other one I tried first). I sprayed a little silicone inside as
the instruction sheet recommends. With that done, the depth to which the gun
naturally slips in allows a slick, rapid draw. Push it in just a tad harder, and
it sticks tight enough to turn the holster upside down without falling out. It's
as handsome and well-made as any leather holster I've ever seen. The Kramer I
had (which didn't fit) was hard as a rock. The FIST is much more like I
imagined, just pliable enough.

i just received my new holster for my taurus 445. it fits like a glove.
it is concealed perfectly. the color is just right. the workmanship and
price cannot be beat. i am a gun collector and carry concealed
everywhere i go. the FIST will be the only holster ibuy in the future.
great work.

Received your holster. It looks great and wears well. I am really pleased
by the way it hugs tight to the body. I had concerns that with a crossdraw
I would have a noticeable bulge on that side, but am pleasantly surprised by
the way it hugs the body without causing a noticeable bulge. Thanks again
for your quick response and for a beautifully designed holster. One look
tells you it is quality craftsmanship.

Hi Jim,

What a great start to my weekend. Rec'd the #18 for my Glock 26 this afternoon. Already have it broken in, using Leather Lighting product. The holster is great! Thanks & warm regards,

Hi Jim,

I belive you spoke with my dad today regarding the #2 holster with body

All I can say is WOW !! Excellent workmanship, high quality at a

It fits my .32 PPK like a fine leather glove...

Fine work you will be getting all my holster business from now on..

Just a note to let you know I received 2 of my 3 holsters and they are a perfect fit.
I can't believe you can make such excellent quality holsters for these prices.
I've had more complements on these two holsters than anything I've ever had.
I can't wait for the other one.

Hi Jim,

I spoke the truth, but I neglected to mentioned how much I liked the #1
clip holsters too. I have 3 of them...the first three I mentioned. They
put to shame other IWB holsters I've had. By the way, I prefer to wear
these between the belt and the pants...just loosen your belt a notch and
it's much more comfy than inside the pants. Seems many people don't
think of wearing this way and don't like IWB because you may need larger
pants.

Next time I need a holster I will call you, and I will recommend your
product any chance I get.

Ken

Thank you is really not enough. You did my Holster EXACTLY as I had hoped you would. Your workmanship is equal only to my own, but I am a builder of homes. I will keep your address and from time to time will refer you to other guides and hunters who will enjoy the quality you put forth in your craft. If you ever wish a fine timeout and a world class fishing experience keep Uncle Don (that's me) a call or e.mail me and we will take my thanks one step further. Thanks again Don McNeil of Alaska on the Kenai River.

Dear Jim,

I received the Kydex holster last week (#2 easy-on holster). I was eagerly awaiting its' arrival, and I am happy to say that it is even better than I was imagining it would be. I want to give it some wear time, but I want you to know my first impressions.

I was really taken by its low profile, by which I mean, that once my gun was in the holster, the thickness of the gun is increased so little that it is almost nonexistent. To be sure, I compared it to my leather holsters and without question, your holster has the lowest profile. The real test of course was putting it on. I can't tell you what it feels like when you know something great is happening. As soon as the snaps were done, I knew that this holster was going to be my "primary" holster. (I was amazed at how the "butt" of my gun was held in and not sort of flopping outward, as it does with many of my other holsters.)

But there was one more test. Drawing and holstering my gun. I know it sounds corny, but I really wanted this holster to work. Holstering and drawing my gun from your holster was a new experience. It flies out of the holster, and seems to "snap" into it. I am really amazed at your new holster, and I want to give it some wear time to give you feedback. I will be taking it to the range, and using it exclusively at work and off-duty. Please let me know if you have any specific instructions on what you would like me to test for. If not, I will be using at as much as possible and will look for anything that might be improved on, and I will let you know in about a month how my testing is going.

Please let me know if you have any questions at any time. I will make sure I am available to you to discuss your new holster.

Joseph T. McMahon

The #20 IWB holster I received from you has now replaced all my other holsters for my Kimber Compact Custom. Its adjustments enabled me to fit it perfectly to my body. Most of the time I don't even realize that I'm carrying. The dimple on the back of the trigger guard holds my pistol securely but doesn't interfere with presentation.

Thanks for doing such a great job.

Dear Fist:

I recently purchased a #42 "Driving Holster to Crossdraw" from you. To say I am pleased with the holster's performance would be an understatement. I have a disability caused from an assault on me in my home where I was shot and suffered a spinal cord injury. Consequently, during much of my time out in society I am riding my electric three-wheel scooter. The #42 holster works like a charm and is easily concealed under a light jacket or under my Hawaiian shirts. Thank you for making such a comfortable and practical holster. I have recommended the model to several of my wheelchair-bound friends.

I have just finished some extensive testing of the Kydex #11 combination holsters. These are fine pieces of work. One is designed to carry a 2.5" S&W Model 19 K frame and the other a Colt Government model. These are without a doubt the most comfortable IWB holsters I have ever worn. I wore the K-frame for a 300 mile drive across Texas and actually forgot I had a gun with me.

The holster for the Government Model came right before I attended a DTI Advanced Pistol class. The holster was presented from the holster and returned to the same many times during the two day course. The angle of carry allowed for both an easy draw and the gun to be comfortable while seated. I had planned to try the holster both inside and outside the waistband but since it was so comfortable and we did all work from concealment, I never did try the outside carry. Several people commented on the holster with approving comments. Several said they had seen the FIST ads but had not seen the final product.

Great holsters. Keep up the good work. The workmanship and design on these FIST holsters and the others I own have converted me to a FIST holster person.

Thanks,

Van A. Kent

I purchased a holster from you last year for my sp 101. I couldn't be more pleased with it. Thanks.

I note on your web site that you now have a retail store that offers returned merchandise as a discount. It makes sense that you would not make this available on the web. However, my question is this:

I would like to purchase a belt, mag holder and holster for my Glock 30

or my Para Ordnance P14 LDA. I wondered if you had a holster available

at a discount in your retail outlet that I could pair with a new belt and mag

holder and thereby reduce the price somewhat.

Please let me know if there is any possibility of this. I am looking for an outside the belt holster with a reenforced lip (the one you made me NEVER collapses and I have worn it very often). Thanks for your consideration in this matter.

Sincerely,

David BLoodgood

Thank you for your very prompt reply to my inquiry. In one of those weird
coincidences I received your reply and the holster within a few minutes of
one another. I am quite impressed with the quality and will undoubtedly
order other products from you. Thanks for the catalog, the fast reply, and
most of all, the excellent product. Best wishes for continued success.

Fist:

I recently purchased my 3rd, 4th and 5th holsters from Fist and, as
usual I am extremely happy with your product.
I had two #1 clip holsters for about a year, so when I purchased my new
HK USP Compact, naturally I came to Fist for my holster. I ordered a #1
clip and a #8 close cropped short cut for that gun and at the same time
I ordered a left hand #8 for my Colt snubby.
Beside the fact that the holsters were at my house in 2 weeks and 1 day,
they carry the guns so well hidden I couldn't believe it...that HK says
"compact" but it definitely isn't a small gun.
I purchased a Galco holster for my Colt when I bought it and spent 80
bucks for it and it is nowhere near the fit and quality of the shortcut
I just received. The leather is even much thinner and it's hard to
re-holster the gun without using two hands. I'll come to Fist first from
now on -- and tell all my friends the same. All they have to do is try
mine on and it will sell itself.

Thanks for a great product at such a reasonable price.

Re. My message on not receiving #41. It came today and is perfect! And thank you for the brochure. J Casabianca


Jim,
I received my #21 and #14 comb from the factory showroom. The golden #14 with the dark outline of the molding was exquisite. I showed it to my brother who was visiting and he called and ordered one the same day. I was pleased with the result of ordering from the showroom delivery time was two days and the price was awesome. I was wondering if you had anything for a 4 inch model 19 S&W in the showroom. Also, I was looking for a 3 inch model 13 and 2 and a half inch 686 revolver holster. You've got me covered on 19 auto pistols. I need some leather for my revolvers. Please email me as to what you have available for revolvers. I appreciate the service and the product as usual. You're the master.

Best Regards,

Collin Cherry



I just received my order, two holsters and belt and just wanted to say thanks the quality and workmanship are great

Its not often in today's world that you get what you pay for

your products have exceeded my expectations and im sure i will use them a long time

Just to say thanks-L S



Dear FIST/Jim

First, I'd like to say that your #18 is, in fact, the best paddle holster

I have ever owned or used. I'm very pleased with it.


Just received the #21 I ordered from you for my Taurus PT111. The workmanship is excellent! I was also impressed with the fast delivery and reasonable price. I will definitely order other holsters from you for my other guns.

THANKS A LOT!

S. R. Stuart


Jim --

Thanks. I got the holster last week. While I haven't had time to use it a

lot yet, it looks to be EXCELLENT!

Thanks for your attention to this.

Hello Jim Murnak at Fist,

I wanted to let you know that I received my order of (1) #K1 holster

with all adapters for .45 ACP Officer's Model and (2) a magazine pouch

for Keltec P-11 last Monday (8/14/00). Thank you so very much for the

holster--you're right--it is lightweight, thin, and easy to conceal. It

is comfortable to wear and really does give the impression of carrying

the gun without a holster. Searching the internet, I've seen nothing

else like it advertised. I'm glad I bought it.

Sincerely yours,

R G


Mr. Murnak,

I am truly impressed with my new Kydex 22K for my Glock 26. Perfection! So much so that I have emptied my box of holsters into the trashcan. It is the MOST comfortable and concealable holster I have ever worn, and I have worn quite a few over the last 25 years. I will be ordering more of your holsters for the rest of my weapons shortly.

My question is regarding the availability of magazine and flashlight carriers in Kydex and whether they might be available in a clip on/off configuration for ease of use. If these items are available in Kydex I would greatly appreciate a reply ASAP so that I may place an order for these items along with my holster order.

Thank you for your time and cooperation. Once again, great work!

Hi,

just letting you know, that I received my mag pouch yesterday. Thank you

for getting it to me that quickly. Craftmanship, finish and fit are

great. Guess I'll place some more orders with you.

Thank you,

Uli Gebhard


Mr. Murnak,

UPS came today with the #12 I ordered for a Kahr K9. I couldn't be happier. The holster is beautiful. This is the third holster I have from you. My wife has a Lady Fist, I have a Close Cropped Basic for a Glock.

Every time I get a holster from you, the workmanship gets better and better! The fit is superb. The gun is held snugly, and there is an enormous amount of room for the front sight. The finish is very good. The color is deep and rich (black), the stitching is straight and tight, and the edges are burnished so well that they are positively glassly, and look like a single piece of leather.

My praise is not from ignorance of holsters. I have carried a pistol almost every day for the last six years, am a certified handgun instructor, a multiple graduate of Practical Firearms Training, Inc., have won numerous tropies in IDPA competition, and work weekends in a gunshop.

I am a sort of a "holster snob," never finding anything from the holster mills that suites me. I have holsters from Blade-Tech, Kramer, Ken Null, Milt Sparks, and Mitch Rosen. Kydex is good for competition, but it shifts on the belt for carry. Kramer has the hardest molded leather, though not nicely colored or detailed. Rosen's holsters are exquisitly beautiful, but pricey. But in terms of fit, function, and VALUE for the money, FIST holsters are the best I've seen, and the quality just keeps getting better.

When I teach handgun classes for concealed carry, holster selection (of course) comes up. Kydex can have its advantages, but leather, though thicker, in my experience conceals better because it stays put on the belt. When people ask me "which leather holster?" I've been telling them FIST is the best choice. Functionally, it is the equal of the Rosen holsters, it's certainly no embarrassment on the belt (looks good), and for the price of one of Mitch's holsters you can buy TWO FIST holsters.

Sorry to ramble on, but I'm obviously VERY happy with your product. I liked my first Blade-tech rig, but once they got successful, their quality (in my experience) and definately their customer service, suffered. Your prices are good, and your products just keep getting better. PLEASE, DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING!

Thank you,

GC Hammond


I received my new holster from you a week or so ago. It is very fine work. Thanks so much. Nice craftsmanship. It is something you don't see much of any more. I will be ordering more from you.

Again, thanks very much for the great holster.

Sincerely, Elliott

In June of '99, I received a #12 basic for a Smith mod.66. It's seen almost a year and a half of daily use so far, and I must say, I'm as happy today as I was the first day I wore it.

Many holsters perform well when they're new, but very quickly, they wear and deteriorate. Not so with yours. While it did "break in", it retains it's usefullness to this day! Much like wine, it actually got BETTER with age!

The real proof that I'm satisfied? Since buying my holster, I've reccomended your line to countless dozens of people.

Keep up the good work!

Steven Martin, Charlotte, NC

A truely satisfied customer


First of all, thanks again for the great holster you made for me last year. I find myself needing another one of your fine holsters. The berretta 9000s is my new pistol and I was hoping you could make me a #6 in right hand for this new pistol.

Ramon Trujillo


Thanks for your patience. You now have another completely happy customer.

Phillip Jones

Triplette Competition Arms


I'm VERY happy with your product. As a matter of fact, I went to a gun show today, and had the chance to compare your (my) year-and-a-half old, worn daily, Model #12 basic to several "big name", brand new holsters.

Holding them back to back (sorta....mine was on my hip at the time), yours was made from thicker, higher quality leather. The inside of your holster is still soft and smooth, unlike the "sandpaper" feel of your competiters.

Would I buy your holster, as purchased, again? Well, not quite.... I would raid the options section of your catalouge and have the opening reinforced with extra material. Otherwise, my almost 2 year old holster is STILL the best damn holster I've ever owned. Rest assured, you will receive more of my buisness as I upgrade my collection of handguns. Steve in Charlotte, NC


Got my #42 via UPS today. It's just what I wanted. The new back piece

covers the mag ejector, the stitching's tight, and the holster has the

right amount of tension. Thanks for doing a great job.


10/31/00

Thank you. In this day and age of false advertising and cheap quality work I am pleased to recommend to my friends your products.Recently I received another one of your holsters. As with the others I have purchased I am extremely satisfied with the appearance and performance of the holster. Having visited many, many websites of many, many holster makers- both large companies, mid-size companies, and individuals- your workmanship continues to impress for both function and price. One of the pleasant aspects of dealing with Fist is the time gap between ordering and receiving the holster. There is no gap. You serve your customers promptly. As a teacher, I stress to my students that personal reputation is extremely important. Your reputation for quality is secure. Again, thank you for a holster I wear with trust.

I received my holster yestarday.I just wont to let you know how AGOOD JOB you did. It was # 20 adjustable IWB for my 239 SIG 40 . The quality is out standing. I will be ordering another one from you soon. thanks again

Hello Jim,

Just an update here-

-we are continuing to use the holsters that you sent. They are used in

literally every class that we have. In addition, when we teach the

segment on concealed carry holster selection, I specifically narrow down

the brand names to about 6 brands, and the holsters by Jim Murnak are in

that list. The fact that you have custom features

is a real plus.

-Many of your holster ideas are ingenious. I really like the adjustable

loops and the combination/convertible models.

-I have personally worn all of the holsters that you have sent. Some of

these have been for months at a time. In addition, I teach with them (but

I always let the students have first pick) SO, for my own personal defense

purposes and for teaching, I have worn them and they work.

-I without reservation recommend all of your products and have found them

to meet all of the criteria that we recommend in our courses. (if you need

any of this information I would be glad to send it to you as we get pretty

indepth in all of our courses on this)

Thanks

Dear Jim and Staff:

Just received my first Fist Holster, number 8 for the Glock 36. I must tell you it is the finest holster I have ever owned. I have been in law enforcement for over 30 years and have bought more holsters than I care to think about. Yours wins hands down. You have a customer for life. Your quality is excellent and your prices can't be beat. I just wanted to let you know how satisfied I am with your super product.

I ordered a holster from fist last October. An IWB for my G27. I ordered the

model 41. I thought I ordered a 41A. It took longer than expected to make my

holster, so they sent it out UPS blue label at no extra charge to me.

When I got it I was mad. I waited forever, and it was not what I ordered. I

wanted a holster with a thumb-break, and got one without a thumb-break. I

sent them a hot e-mail and demanded a refund.

The response I got was very polite. They agreed to a refund, no questions

asked. They did however indicate that I got what I ordered. I checked. And

they were right. I screwed up, and ordered the wrong thing. Further, they

had sent me an e-mail to confirm my order, and I confirmed the wrong thing.

Well, I assumed that I was stuck with a holster that I didn't really want.

But guess what? They let me keep the holster, and made me a new one, the way

I wanted, at no charge. They sent that one to me express shipping also. This

kind of customer service you don't see very often.

I screwed up. They made up for my mistake at their expense. Both holsters

are well made, and work great. I will do business with them again, and I

would recommend them to you as well.

Thanks Fist!


Back in August, 1998, I ordered a setup for a Kel-Tec P11 pistol that I intended to carry concealed, to include the holster, reinforced belt and clip/cuff holder.

I had you make it in a deep reddish-brown color (not sure which one, will have to find my receipt).

Anyways, I now have experienced wear on the leather and the rig is getting rather ratty looking and it needs to be touched up.

If I can locate the color, am I able to purchase some dye from you or can you recommend how I might touch it up with commercial products.

Thanks for your continued service.

P.S. - This holster is the most sturdy holster I have owned (since I purchased my first used one in 1976) and is holding up very well. The fit is great and the design perfect.

William


Thank you for your quick response to my inquiry. As it turns out UPS showed up last night with my holster. Just wanted to let you know after breaking it in and wearing it today I am more than 100% satisfied. You guys do a great job. I will be a repeat customer and will let my friends know what a quality product you make.

Thanks again, W.S.Jarc


I have been using your Driving to Cross Draw holster for a

couple of weeks now and I want to tell you it is the most

comfortable holster I own. I can wear it all day without any

discomfort. The workmanship is outstanding. It also works

well as a strongside holster. I would recommend this holster to any one who needs a concealment holster.

Thanks for a great holster.

Bob Carlton


Just received my new closed end 42P with the thumb break for my PT 111. It's super! Just exactly what I wanted. The fit is great and the crossdraw concealment is better than any strong side holster I have. Very clever kydex attachment system--secure but easy to take on and off. In fact, I can even wear it strong side if I want to, can't I? Very clever.

Regarding the break-in instructions, you said to just holster and draw over and over again. But with the closed end on my 42P, the fit was so tight that once I got it seated all the way in there I could not get it out without a big struggle.

The technique I used was to put the weapon inside of a "Baggie" freezer bag (which are heavier duty that the ordinary Baggie) then holster and draw. The Baggie is slippery and so it's easier to draw the gun and to holster it, plus the 3 mils of thickness of the plastic bag stretches out the leather just a tiny amount. It only took a few repetitions to get the stretch just right. You might want to give this a try and if you like it, pass on the tip to your customers.

Thanks again for a great holster--worth the wait!


I RECEIVED THE HOLSTER AND I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE PROMPT SERVICE AND THE HOLSTER THANK YOU VERY MUCH I WILL DEFINITLY BE DOING BUSINESS WITH YOU IN THE FUTURE THANKS AGAIN

To Jim and Co.

I recently ordered a Kydex IWB and after reading some info on one of the Bulletin boards I am party to came to realize my simple little holster may be a while coming to me. After waiting 3 1/2 weeks, I dropped a note to you and you said it may still be another 2 weeks or so. Well, I figured I had really blown it. I could have had a Blade-Tech out of stock in one week. I finally got the little holster and I am glad I waited. It weighs nothing and makes the G-27 disappear under a T-shirt. Well made and thin. Thank you

Hey Jim,

In the natural order of things, UPS was at my front door the day after my last e-mail.

I Love It!! I never thought of my leather holster as heavy, but the kydex is so light it does feel like you're wearing nothing but the gun. And so comfortable. I'm still playing with all of the adapters-it's great to have so many options with just one holster. I was curious as to how you would add the thumb break on the kydex(I actually forgot about the tension screws when I ordered), but the leather does the job. You do wonderful work and it is worth waiting for.

Thanks again,

Julia Parr


Dear Sirs,

The holster arrived on Wednesday the 17. I tried it on for a few hours and wore it most of the day on Saturday. You did an excellent job.

To: FIST98

Hi Jim,

I'd just like to let you know that I love the Ladyfist holster for my Glock 19 that I picked up from your showroom. It's the most comfortable holsters that I've worn thus far. I take every opportunity I can to let the other women in my command try it on so they know what they're missing. It conceals pretty well too.

Concealment brings me to my next question. I've been looking at some IWB holsters on the market. I was wondering if you have anything in your Ladyfist line. In one of the photos on your site, I thought I saw one that looked similar to your #2 in the mens' line, the easy-off/IWB. Is it available?

Thanks for your help and I hope to hear from you soon.

Hi,

I just received my first Fist holster for my new Kimber CDP. I have been a

customer of Greg Kramer and Mitch Rosen as well as all the other production

holster makers (Galco, Biannci, etc) in the past but I am now a Fist

convert. The holster I received is well made, handsome and appears to be

very durable AND it was just $44. Thanks for the great work.

Hello,

I was thinking of getting the HiViz sights for my H&K USP45. I have ordered holsters from you before and will never buy a different brand. I was wondering if I would have to send my gun in for the fitting or if the sights will fit in to the holsters made with the factory mold. I'd rather have one of your holsters than the sights, but if I can have it both ways, even better. Please let me know what you think. Thank You,

Mr. Murnak,

After using my new kydex belt-slide holster for my SW99 for a couple of weeks now, I

have got to say that I am thoroughly satisfied. This holster fits so well and carries so easily it

brings a smile to my face! Rest assured you will have my recommendations to all who inquire,

and my future business as well. Thank you for a solid product. - David D. Brown


Jim,I received my kydex holsters today.Great job,I'm very impressed.I've been using Blade Tech for awhile,but these have changed my options.

Thanks Again.

Harpin Myers


To Mr. Murnak and everyone else,

My Secret System 2 in Kydex arrived yesterday morning. I've

spent the last two days trying in with different clothes, belts,

and shirts.

In short, it works and I like it. It's about as close as you can

get to tucked-in-the-waistband carry while having the

retention and stability of a holster. As compact as it is, a

Glock 27 still has a thick triggerguard and the bulge is hard

to hide. I don't think anyone could do a better job handling

this than you have. This is the first tuckable I've tried where

my wife couldn't find the gun right away (we don't even want

to talk about my Galco Deep Cover -- "Honey, what's THAT?").


I just received my #14 combination holster today for my S&W99. I had inquired about the order status yesterday and received a prompt email back that it had been shipped. Let me start by saying, WOW! The mahogany finish is second to none. Inside the pants the holster is deliciously comfortable. You sent instructions on how to break the holster in. They weren't needed. Even on the belt the draw is perfect. I think next time I'll have you reinforce the mouth for extra support, but it works great as is. I have carried and own many custom holsters. I spend a fortune on leather. I feel like all of my new gun purchases should always have the best and most functional leather to carry them in. I am an executive with a 125 billion dollar company. I travel a great deal. I have carried a handgun daily for years, legally of course. I have my suits tailored around my holsters. Especially inside the pant holsters. I have Kramer, Sparks, Galco, Desantis, Bianchi, Wilson and others. My favorite up to this point has been the holsters of Tauris holsters. His work is excellent. But you design and execution of the design is second to none. It is no wonder your business has grown. You have an excellent product. I had trouble finding leather for the new S&W99. You made it and you made the best holster I could have purchased for it. Honestly, I don't how people like Rosen stay in business with you and your company producing better designs, better finishes, and more options at half the price. No wonder you've had 75,000+ inquiries over your website. Your design takes all of the weight off the belt. You know what I mean by that. Some designs make the weight of the gun very evident. Honestly, I can't feel any discomfort at all and I had spinal surgery six weeks ago. I'm back at work now and I'll be sporting my newest holster/gun combo. You made an excellent carry rig for an excellent gun. Thanks so much for taking my call yourself and giving me your opinion on which holster to order. Oh, I almost forgot. Congratulations on your success over the last few years.

Respectfully,

Very Satisfied Customer

I just thought I'd e-mail you to let you know how very happy I am with the Brenda Flowers holster I just received.

I am left-handed which is truly a handicap when it comes to finding holsters. Very few gun shops in the area in which I live even carry left-handed holsters. And when they do, they are the cheesy nylon or plastic variety. So, if I want quality, I must have it custom made.

My husband saw this holster while browsing your internet site. He called my attention to it. I was impressed and thought it might be just what I was looking for.

We had ordered custom holsters before and our experience was less than impressive. We ordered a holster from Mitch Rosen. First of all, they lost the order. Then, once that got cleared up, it took forever to get made and shipped. All tolled, it took over four months from date of order to date of receipt.

We received the holster from you within 3 weeks. Unfortunately, your website order form did not get all of the information to the production crew at your company. It was black and right-handed (we had ordered tan, left-handed).

I called your customer service center. They were just fantastic! They began producing the corrected holster even before they received the incorrect holster back from me. We had the corrected holster within about 10-12 days from the corrected order.

It is a beautiful, custom holster that I will proudly wear for years to come. You have a great team and a wonderful product.

Sincerely,

Pattie McMillan

The quality of the holster is outstanding! Your holsters' comfort level is profound.


I just wanted to drop you a note to say how pleased I am with my new clip holster for my Glock model 36. This is the first holster I have ordered from you but I promise it won't be the last. The quality of workmanship is outstanding, the delivery time was faster than expected, and it conceals my gun perfectly. I am bragging about your holsters every chance I get and I hope to place another order in the near future. Thank you again for making such a high quality product at a more than affordable price.

Just received my holster, model 42, driving/crossdraw. What a beauty! Fit and finish excellent; very discreet (concealable); perfect ergonomics; simple, efficient, only one moving part: the belt snap.
If I was gonna dream the ideal holster ... rides just so, attaches this way, have a tab here, a hook there ... well you guys did it and sent it to me. I wish I'da found ya sooner! I better not show it to my son-in-law, he'll liberate it for himself. Better he gets his own, which he will, soon's he susses mine out.
Thanks for a wonderful holster and good service.

Hi there

Just a note to let you know the holster of mine arrived safe and sound in
South Africa. I was a little worried as sometimes they have been known to go
missing due to some nimble fingers in the South African Postal Services.
There are occasions where parcels go missing after the decidedly corrupt
workers add them to their own personal belongings.

Needless to say, it arrived and I have to admit that I am more than happy
with my purchase. The quality is great and overly I would classify this as a
masterpiece. I can see why Jim Murnack is as highly regarding in the USA as
he is. His reputation is there for a reason.

If you ever need a reference in South Africa from anyone wishing to purchase
online, feel free to hand out my details. I would be more than happy to
recommend the holster to anyone.

I just wanted to drop you a line and say thanks. When I ordered my holster you said it would take 4-6 weeks for delivery. I explained that I wanted to use the holster at the upcoming Michigan State IDPA Match you said you would see what could be done. I received my holster in one week. Thanks. I have had a chance to run some drills with my new holster and it cut two seconds off my time. I will be recommending your holsters to all of the shooters at my club. Thanks again for getting it done on a rush basis. It is much appreciated. You guys make a great product.

I received the #40 today, and am presently wearing it. I am very pleased. Thanks for your promptness. I will tell my friends and fellow gun owners about your "swiftness and willingness to satify your customers".
Thanks again,


I just received my three #1K holsters that I ordered from you, and after
wearing a Glock 19 for 4 hours, can say that it is the most comfortable
IWB holster that I have ever worn. I've been wearing IWB holsters since
1980, and have seen the trend, going from the flimsy suede holsters
(that, although they were thin, offered no protection from sweat in hot
weather), to the very thick, ultra high ride holsters that seem to be
popular today (I've been wearing mostly Alessi Talon holsters for the
last 8 years).

I'm going to be ordering more of your #1K holsters very soon, but can
you please tell me if they cause more wear to a blued finish than a
comparable leather holster. I think that this holster is just the thing
for the many S&W K frame and Colt D frame revolvers that I own.

Thanks for offering such a great product.

Hi,
I just wanted to tell you guys that I couldn't be happier with my new
Kydex holster. When I ordered, I was told I would have to wait 6 to 8 weeks.
Rough, but reasonable, considering the quality of your products.
Imagine my surprise when my holster arrived 2 weeks from the day that I
ordered! I made the mistake of showing it to a friend of mine in the Mississippi Highway Patrol. I had to pry it out of his hands....he couldn't believe the light weight of your Kydex holster compared to the "Trucklike Kydex" that he was used to. I have a feeling he'll be giving you a call. Thanks again for the speedy delivery and quality of my latest FIST holster...it's an awesome example of what a holster should be.


I received the holster I ordered, ( superslide #15) and must tell you I am very pleased with it. Workmanship, stitching , molding, color, fit, and finish are all of excellent quality. Fist will be the only holster I buy from now on. It was at least what you represented it to be. Being custom made may take a little longer, but well worth the wait for a product like this. Any contact with Fist was professional and prompt.

I do have a question about normal care, cleaning, and maintenance. What products do you recommend? what should not be done? I wanted to spray a little more silicone inside to assist in break in, what kind should I use?

Again thanks for the great holster. Feel free to use this letter in any way you see fit. Word of mouth is the best advertisement you can get,and you have earned it.

Sincerely,
Lenny Hart


Dear Fist;
I recently called and ordered a #18 paddle holster for my brother.
He is Brig. General Gary Harrell, and the commander of the ground troops in Afghanistan. We both have several of your holsters, and when I told him about the comfort of your paddle holster, he said he could really use one. As you can imagine, in the hostile environment our troops are in, a comfortable, reliable holster is a must.
Your Folks actually shipped the holster the same day I called, My Brother has already received the holster, and was impressed with it as I had hoped. Thank you for the excellent service, and for the excellent products.

I'VE LIVED WITH THIS HOLSTER FOR MY CHIEFS SPECIAL EVERYDAY NOW FOR THE LAST MONTH AND IF IT DOESN'T BECOME THE BEST SELLING CONCEALMENT HOLSTER IN THE WORLD IT WILL NOT BE BECAUSE OF THE QUALITY, COMFORT, AND FUNCTIONALITY. IT IS SIMPLY THE BEST I'VE EVER USED. THANKS FOR MAKING A GREAT PRODUCT AT A FAIR PRICE.

Dear Jim:

I ordered a #20 with #50 accessory pack & a matching 1.5" belt last
month. The order arrived last Friday.

I have been wearing the holster for 2 & 1/2 days now, and I can honestly
say that it is the finest holster/belt rig I own!

Many thanks for a well made product delivered in a reasonable time at a
fair price.

Hello, I just want to say first off, that I've been carrying a pistol for 20 years uncomfortably! I am short, and short wasted. The butt is always in my rib cage. I usually experience low back pain after carrying a weapon all day. It is always a great relief to take it off at the end of the day. Then I ordered a fist women's holster. I love it. I am actually totally comfortable!! No pain! I searched high and low for someone who would let me order special order my holster with a straight cant. I needed a holster that would match the curve of the female hip, and I found your website. What a lucky day that was. The holster is very well made, looks great, and is comfortable and functional. It was more than I hoped for, after so many years of dealing with holsters made for men. I received it a week ago. I gave it one week of daily wear to evaluate it before e-mailing your company. I just want to thank you, for a hard to find, great product. P.S. I will be ordering another holster real soon, for my jealous husband! I will also be recommending your holsters to other women who carry weapons. Thank you, Trish Rehm


I received your package containing my new belt loop parts last week and wanted to say thank you very much! I received much more than I expected and am further glad of my choice in regards to purchasing my holster from your company. Thank you for the great work, products, and customer service!

Jim Murnak, I got back from a southern trip to find
the two #12 holsters I ordered had arrived. They are
even nicer than they appear on your web site! The only
holsters I ever owned before were bought "off the
shelf" so to speak and was certainly very surprized at
how your custom holsters hold my handguns so close and
snug to my hip. This really allieviates that
sensation of a "weight" hanging from the belt. While
down south I purchased a S&W heavy leather belt and it
works very well w/these holsters. Concealed carry
sure became easier. You guys make a great, high
quality product. Sincerely, James Constantine

Jim,

I’m writing to tell you how pleased I am with your work. Earlier this year I ordered a #32 Double Mag Pouch and a #14 Combination holster for my Browning Hi-Power. I followed that up with an order for a #12 Basic for the SIG 226 I recently purchased. The workmanship on both holsters and the mar pouch is first rate. I recently attend a tactical pistol class and put the Sig holster and mag pouch to work. After wearing them both all day long for several days, I can say they both felt great, provided excellent retention and quick access to both my Sig and the double stack magazines. Several other shooters in the class complemented me on the leatherwork. One of the instructors asked whether they were custom products of one of your higher priced competitors. Needless to say, I am very satisfied with my purchases and plan on placing another order with you in the near future.

Thanks,

Dave Horak


Dear Sirs,

I recently broke two of the front mounting "brackets" (where the leather belt loops attach) on my K1 holsters with inside/outside adapters. In both cases this bracket has broken in the center, where it has a reduced diameter. Both times I called and a replacement piece was sent to me within days. Thank you for such quick service. I have found the K1 with inside/outside adapters to be my absolute favorite IWB holster of the many I have tried and used over the past 20-plus years. I own 5 of them for various handguns, and have convinced two of my fellow officers to purchase K1s for their off duty weapons as well.

Keep up the good work, and I will continue using and promoting your excellent products.

Sincerely,

I received my new Kydex holster for my pistol today. It fits great !! I can't get over how thin it is . It's so thin I hardly know its there. But most importantly it stays tight on the belt and the gun doesn't fall out of the holster when I bend over.Thank you DAVID WONG


I recently ordered a K4 for a Kahr PM9. In speaking with you on the phone you had not made this holster as the gun is so new. I wanted to say that as usual your quality is excellent. The fit is just a bit loose, but not too much to be a problem since the pistol is very light, it is secure.
I will continue to order from you in the future.
Thanks

I purchased a FIST #K1 Kydex Universal Holster with Inside Outside Adapters
back in January of
this year for my Glock 30. This holster is unbelievably thin and
comfortable to wear. The ability to
wear IWB or OWB is a major plus. Not to mention the durability and the ease
with which the holster
can be removed with the snap straps. On top of all this the cant can be
adjusted, the straps can be
sized for different sized belt widths, and the tension screws come in handy.
All in all a great holster
and a great company with superb customer service.

Thanks for making a great product.

Sir,

I must commend you on the quality of your product. I was delighted to
find as nice a holster as one could possibly acquire elsewhere. No
gimmicks. A great design for a vertical shoulder rig. The quality of
construction is excellent and the finish is absolutely beautiful.

I just received my third Fist holster today. First of all, I got it in less than two weeks. That was terrific. Second of all, I can't believe the holster. It's great. I don't understand why anybody would want any other kydex from another company. This clip holster is absolutely the most comfortable, secure, and easy to draw from holster I have ever had. I know everyone has their personal preferences in regards to holsters, but I think if everyone who carries a weapon just tried a Fist, all the other guys would be out of business. Thanks again for making a superior product. I will continue to sing your praises here in Florida.

Good Morning,

Thank you very much! Just received my third holster from you. I had ardered wrong but you instantly sent the correct one after I talked to the patient and very cool lady on the phone. I often encourage people to do business with you and I'm not done either! Thanks again. Kent P. McKim


Hi, my name is David Walden, I recently became the proud owner of one of your Close Cropped Shortcut holsters for my S&W 625. You can't believe how happy I am about your product. Not only was the fit, finish and material top notch, it got here in record time. I cannot wait to hit the range with this holster on hip, and I intend on singng your praises to anyone that will listen.

Thanks very much for your quality product and service, I'm sure that I will be ordering from you again in the very near future


Just recieved my new holster (Kimber 3 inch) and
couldn't be happier!! I have spent a long time looking
for a holster that would work for me.

The adjustability of the holster is just great, it
fits me the way I want it to, not the way someone else
thinks it should...

I guess after I break this one in, I will need to
order one for my 5 inch Kimber. :-)

Thanks again,

Jay Zimmett


I've been packing for over 20 years and have bought numerous firearms over
the years. For every 1 gun, I've had to buy at least 3 or 4 holsters trying
to find one that "fits"
I now have 3 FIST holsters and will not bother trying anyone else's holsters
again. The "fit" is perfect, I love the thin Kydex 1AK!

Good morning Jim,

I just received the paddle holster for my Kahr PM40 and it was worth the wait. You really do nice work. You may recall that you built a paddle holster that I could use cross draw while driving then swivel it up to carry strong side once I'm out of the car.

The angle for cross draw configuration is "dead nuts right on". I do have one question. Is it possible for you to make the "slot" just a little longer so that when I rotate the paddle to strong side carry it would give me a full 15 degree FBI cant at the very end of the slot?

Thanks,

Lee Owen


Hi Jim,
I came across a recent thread in Glock Talk that found you defending yourself against an unsatisfied customer. I have ordered several holsters from you over the years, and recently added another of your outstanding ultra-thin Kydex holsters to my collection. Thank you for making an excellent product, and for the excellent service I have always received. I just wanted you to know this customer thinks highly of you and your products, and refers you to others often.

Keep up the great work,
and God bless,


Dear FIST Inc.

I received my "K2--High ride belt slide holster" the other day; it is an excellent holster, and I am satisfied with it in every respect. I will hopefully order another like it, for my duty weapon (GLOCK 23), since my off-duty pistol (Kimber Compact) rides so comfortably in it's new carrier. Thanks for a good product.

Sincerely,

Ptl. P. Tschetter, Euclid Police


JUST WANTED TO DROP YOU GUYS A LINE AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF WORK YOU'RE DOING. A FEW MONTHS AGO I PURCHASED A KYDEX HIGH RIDE FOR MY KAHR P9. FOR SOME REASON I HAD EXPECTED IT TO ARRIVE IN ABOUT 3-4 WEEKS. I HAD IT IN ABOUT 10 DAYS. AS SOON AS I REMOVED IT FROM ITS PACKAGING I KNEW I HAD A QUALITY PRODUCT. THE FIT AND FINISH WERE BEYOND ANY KYDEX HOLSTER OF ANY BRAND I HAVE EVER SEEN. IT FIT MY KAHR PERFECTLY. AS ONE OF THE FIREARMS INSTRUCTORS FOR MY POLICE DEPT (AND GUN GO-TO GUY), MANY OF MY FELLOW OFFICERS COME TO ME WITH QUESTIONS OR LOOKING FOR ADVICE ABOUT GUNS AND RELATED ITEMS.
SINCE I GOT MY KYDEX HIGH RIDE, JUST ABOUT EVERY QUESTION ABOUT HOLSTERS GETS THE SAME REPLY........CHECK OUT FIST-INC.COM.

MY KAHR RIDES IN ITS NEW HIGH RIDE VERY WELL. IN MY EXPERIENCE, IT SETS A NEW STANDARD FOR COMFORT AND CONCEALABILITY. I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER AND AS A MATTER OF FACT, AS SOON AS I FINISH THIS EMAIL I'LL BE ORDERING AN IWB FOR MY KAHR AND A POCKET HOLSTER FOR ANOTHER GUN.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR DEDICATION TO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND QUALITY WORKMANSHIP.

Hello.
I purchased a #11 model holster for my HK USP .40 and rec'd it today.
I have already fitted it up and am very pleased with the quality of the build.
Everything was as I ordered, including the custom extras.
I rec'd it quicker than promised and couldn't be happier.

You folks are doing a great job, and at a very reasonable price.

I had heard good things about your product from a trusted friend, and I am happy to report that I will be giving the same advice to whom ever asks me for a recommendation.


Thanks very much.

Jim and everyone at FIST;

I just received my K1 and immediately made a snap decision. This is now my OWB holster. I have an IWB that I really like from another manufacturer, but am considering seriously ordering the adapters for this holster. That way, I am carrying and holstering the same way, every time.

Thanks, and I will be recommending your products.

Bill Lance


Greetings from Houston. Last week I ordered an IWB kydex rig for my Kimber 1911. I received it today and it seems to be exactly what I was looking for. Thanks! Mike Perry Harris County Sheriff's Dept.


Hi Jim,

That's a very clever clip that you designed for the #42 holster. It's
rock-solid on a Wilderness 1 1/2" 5-stitch belt.
It's sad that the fine leather work must remain concealed.

Thanks Jim, you do great work!


Just wanted to let you know that I received my holster, as you said, on the
13th. Had a little troube in actually getting it, but you guys are a 'stand
up' company & made good. I've been using your holster for two days now and
really couldn't be more pleased. The quality is excellent, even for your
supposedly 'low end' holster. You've definitely acquired a loyal customer in
me...

Sincerly,

J Michael Martin


Hello Jim,

Just writing to tell you how thrilled I am with your ultra thin Kidex Holster. I have the #K3 right hand 1 1/2" belt, forward cant, in the pants holster for my Glock 20. I have been a firearms instructor for 15 years, and an instructor for those wishing to become firearms instructors. I also have served on my county gun board for the past 4 years and was just appointed for another four years. I have every holster you can think of, even a DeSantis, and a Galco for my Glock 20, but I only want to carry it in my Fist. Reason? It's so light I hardly know I am carrying a full size firearm. With other holsters, the gun feels heavy, the barrel is always in the way when I sit down, and the draw is more difficult. With your Ultra Thin Kidex, the draw is easy with perfect resisitance, the forward cant takes away the barrel issues, and the lightness of the holster makes it feel like its not even there.

Mine recently developed a small crack along the outside of the sewn edge. I called your company today, and a woman named Janet helped me, advising that if I return it you will replace it at half cost. I was delighted to hear this, as I thought I'd just have to order another one at full price which I was prepared to do, as I consider my gun useless for carry without it.

Thank you for your great product, great warranty, and coureous service provided by your staff. I am mailing my holster back today, and can't wait to get a replacement. I recommend your product to everyone I teach, several hundred people a year, and I wish you continued success with your company.

Sincerely,

Hi! I received my “all around holsters “for the HK P2000 and USPc45. What a great idea! They are really comfortable; I really like the ease in which the rake can be adjusted. I continue to be impressed with the innovative design of FIST holsters. After the first of the year I am going to order the “all around holster” for a Sig 239 and S & W 649.

I also wanted to tell you that I am using the kydex pocket holster you made for my Glock 27. Best designed pocket holster I have ever come across. Great work!

Hope you and your staff have a Great Holiday Season!

Thanks!

Bob Kwiatkowski


 

Hi Janet. I got back very late but was very happy to see that my holster arrived. It works perfectly. Thank Jim for doing the pattern for me. The way the holster is designed, I use it as a pocket holster and depending on the circumstance (in the car, late at night), I can use it as an IWB. Thank John for me also. If he hasn't gotten to my #6 for my S&W K frame yet, remind him to mould more detail into the holster if he can; some detailing around the cylinder/flute would be great. Thanks again. Check out packing.org Regards, Bennie.




To whom this may concern,

I just received the two holsters I ordered for my HK P2000SK.

These holsters are typical of your product, and that is to say that they are great! I have four other FIST holsters purchased from you and two others I purchased independently...They are all wonderful holsters.

The two holsters I ordered this time, a #6 with thumb-break and canteable clip, and a #21 are perfect and look great! I'm already looking at ordering a matching mag pouch, and belt, as well as more holsters for my other weapons.

Lastly, though I chose leather this time due to the great looks and molding, I must say that your Kydex holsters are the best IWB designs I've used...I constantly recommend them to people who don't like IWB's because the thin kydex really does make it feel like there is no holster at all! The comfort of Mexican carry without the guilt!

Anyway, thanks again for two more great holsters and I look forward to placing my next order!

Sincerely,

William Edwards




I ordered a #K7-thin holster about 4 weeks ago. I received the holster in less than three weeks. The holster is well made and fits my pistol quite well. I was especially impressed with this, since my pistol (a EAA Witness compact) does not seem very popular and is not usually listed as a weapon for which your competitors' holsters can be made. I also like that you did not ask for any information until I was on a secure web page. Several of your biggest competitors require mailing address and phone number before directing us to a secure page. In this day of identity theft, your adherance to simple security procedures is most comforting.

In short, everyone who cares to hear (and maybe even a few who don't) will know how highly I think of your product and, more importantly, of your way of doing business. When I need another concealment holster for a new weapon, I won't have to think twice about where I will get it: Fist, Inc.

Thank you,

Barre Sanderson






Dear Sir or Ma'am,

Today I received the ultra-thin, kydex, #1KB holster I ordered for my Glock 23 and I love it! What a brilliant idea... to have an adjustable clip on a holster that is held securely by velcro. I love it so much, that I ordered two more tonight for my G26 and G27. I just wanted to complement you on another great holster! I can't wait to receive my two new orders.

FIST,
I just received my new holster from you, for my Taurus PT945. It is the second holster I have bought from FIST, as I bought one for my Taurus 617 a couple of years ago. Now normally I am not someone who writes to companies, making comments about their products, and I would be especially reluctant to write to you, seeing how you'all are Yankees and such. But I have to tell you that you people make the best damn holsters money can buy. I am so impressed with them that I called my brother, who owns Dixie Gun and Pawn in Georgia, and told him that he needs to look into getting holsters from you for his guns. He asked where you were located. When I told him New York, he was kind of taken aback that I would recommend you, but I told him that your product was the most superior holsters on the market, north or South. Not only are they great holsters, but they are reasonably priced. Did I say great, hell, the damn things are perfect. I am planning on having you make holsters for my Sig and for my 1911. I just wanted you to know that I could not be more pleased with my new holster. Goddamn, you people make terrific holsters! I just can't say enough, you have restored my confidence in the look and feel of fine leather holsters.
Thanks again,

Jim,

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE my #20 in Ultra Thin Kydex. I've tried several holsters through the years, and I can confidently tell you that your product is hands-down the most functional and well-made that I have ever come across.

Additionally, I am thoroughly impressed with your customer service and fast turnaround from order to delivery. After initially purchasing a K8EX, you were gracious enough to accept its return and still had my #20 delivered within two weeks. Amazing!

As is the case with many CCW holders, I have several friends that share a passion for the Second Amendment and I will undoubtedly recommend your products unhesitatingly.

I will be placing another order soon!

Thanks again,

Dan Morrone


The holster arrived today and it looks very nice. I am looking forward to giving my Glock a new home tonight inside this wonderful piece of Kydex.

Just wanted to drop a note to say thank you for shipping the product so extremely fast and providing what appears to be a top quality piece!

Hi Jim,

Your package containing my #19 & magazine pouch was on my doorstep when I arrived home Friday night. I just wanted you to know that you still have the best products out there. Thanks for everything.

Yours,

Received it yesterday, it’s great, probably the most comfortable IWB I’ve ever owned.

Thanks,

I just wanted to pass on some comments.

I ordered your #2 holster several months ago for my XD9 subcompact, and I’ve been wearing it daily. I just attended my first tactical shooting course, three intensive days, and the holster performed flawlessly. Part of the training and most of the shooting drills involved drawing and reholstering, and I never had any trouble with the holster. Reholstering was effortless, even though I didn’t have reinforcement strips on the front or back (I’ve ordered front reinforcement in subsequent holsters). Although I am a woman and the #2 is a man’s holster, I could still use it very comfortably, and it’s a pleasure to wear all day long and conceals well; I expect that the LadyFist version that I’ve just ordered for a new 1911 will be even better.

You may be interested to know that the instructor, Steve Silverman, asked me who made the holster. He said he’s been trying to find one like it, with the snap loops, but the ones he’s bought don’t work. He described one that was fine off the belt, but when it was worn, the sides got pushed out so that you couldn’t draw the gun out of the holster, even with Leather Lightning. I don’t know if he’ll order one of yours, but I told him it was a number 2. I also showed another female student the standard LadyFist you made for my XD9 service model, and she found it very comfortable. She was having trouble with all the holsters she was given to try during the course.

Thanks again for making a great product at a great price.

Elizabeth McGillicuddy


Thank you for your fine product, I have been shooting & carrying pistols for 25 years. I do not carry daily, but have hunted with large revolvers & carry for defense when hiking & outdoors. I have owned probably 20 or more holsters, mostly inexpensive but have stepped up and spent a lot of money at times. I was very hesitant when I ordered a basic #12 for my G-17. You were highly recommended on a bulletin board I read. I have spent twice the money on holsters I did not like. Your workmanship is top of the line & I am anxiously awaiting my #1 clip holster for my new PPK. I can't say enough about the fit & finish of your product. If you like your gun, buy a Fist, you will like it twice as much. I do custom engines, I tell my customers it is worth the wait. So is your product!!!


John


I received my IWB Kydex for my NAA 32 Guardian today. It is exactly what I wanted. Thank you. I now own and use your Kydex ultra thin holster from by Kahr P-9 (belt slide and a J-hook) and a J-hook for my S&W mod 342. You guys seem to be one of the best kept secrets in the holster world. I am a retired Police Officer and I will be forwarding your website info the several departments in Westchster County.


Received my holster today. It’s great. Thanks for the fine workmanship.

Hi Jim,

Matt Heatherly from Indianapolis. I want to thank you for all the attention on my holster for my CZ Rami. It does hold the pistol in place now thanks to the tight trigger guard cover. The rest of the holster is just a tad on the loose side, but not enough that it’s a problem. I’m excited now to be able to carry this gun – I’ve waited quite a while because, frankly, I either carry in a FIST ultra-thin IWB or I don’t carry. How’s that for an endorsement?

Thanks again,

Matt Heatherly

To whom it may concern,
I recently recieved my #1 clip holster for my Glock 19, in exactly the stated turn around time of 3 weeks, and couldn't be happier with the workmanship. Fit and finish are both excellent, with overall quality so far above anything in a similar price range. As a misplaced Brooklynite, i will have no choice but to look to you for my holster needs over the upcoming years. Thanks again for the great work.

Hello guys,

I just bought a "P - Plain series" model 12 holster which was custom made to my gun. Couldn't be happier! The price was great; $50 for a custom holster is a steal. For $10 more I could have had it hand boned and so on but for my purposes of function over form I wasn't too concerned with that. At any rate, this thing is top notch! It is heavy leather, well sewn, with a detent behind the trigger guard for positive retention. The holsters are obviously custom made one at a time, as sewing notes are etched lightly into the leather on the back panel. It fits the gun great, even though this gun is a new model with the light rail that NO ONE is making a stock holster for yet. Turnaround time was less than three weeks, which is also great! This holster and fast service gets my highest recommendation. I've already e-mailed out a suggestion to my buddies with a link to the web site. I'll be ordering from Fist again!

Thanks,

Dear sir,
I recently recieved my new K2 Kydex Hi-Ride holster for my CZ-82 pistol and could not be happier with it. I own holsters from many of the big name companies and a couple of customs, too. I must say that this is one of the best I have ever worn. I was surprised by how this heavy little pistol disappears not only on my belt and under my concealing garment, but also from my memory in just a few moments of wear. As a former police officer with 15 years of almost daily carry, I can say without reservations that this is one of the best purchases I have ever made. I certainly plan on owning more of your fine work in the future and am looking forward to trying some of your leather too! Also, I appreciate the salesperson that assisted me on the phone both times I called. He was very patient and answered all of my questions fully and intelligently. As an added bonus, I was told that delivery would take around 3 weeks, yet my holster arrived 15 days after my order was placed! Keep up the good work!

As with my 2 previous Fist holsters, the #1KB Cantable Clip holster for my HK P2000 is a winner.  I really love the flexibility of the holster allowing many carry options.  Once again, very pleased.

Hello there,

I have just received the holsters and they are excellent.

Thank you for such good product and service, I will recommend you to my friends here.

Good Afternoon,

Just got the #8 for my S&W M&P 9 compact from UPS and I'm very 
pleased with it.   Just like in the instructions, it was very tight 
at first and started to loosen as I broke in the holster.  What also 
really pleased me was that it carries perfectly just at the front of 
my hip which is the most comfortable position for me.  Great quality 
and a great fit for the M&P.

A great birthday gift from my daughter.

Thanks FIST,

Jim Ouly

Hi FIST,
 
I picked up the package from customs today, and I was very pleased when I opened it.
Absolutely superb craftmanship! I can clearly see that you know what you´re doing, and you do it with care.
No other holster that I have owned (safarilands and so on) have not had such a fitting, it´s like hugging the gun & mags.
And all 3 different caliber guns fit in nicely, maybe the .45 ACP needs a bit more breaking-in.
 
So, very much thank you, now I'm waiting for the weekend to get to the range and test them.
 
Also, regards from my wife, she was very excited for the color & finish.
 
Best Regards,
 
Marko

Just had to email to let you know my 1A for my Glock26 showed up today,
in time for me to use it in my upcoming travels!  You really helped me
out as I didn't give you anywhere close to your published delivery time,
yet you still delivered.  Holster is great, fits my 26 like a glove and
practically disappears on me!  You will definitely be getting more
business from me in the future for my other guns.  In the meantime, I've
shared my experience with other members of sigforum to let them know how
great of an operation you guys are, I hope you don't mind.  Thanks again!

I received the holster you crafted for my Rossi 462, using the Taurus 617 as a pattern. I wanted to tell you that the fit is perfect and you can now add the Rossi 461 and 462 to your gun list. It really is a very nice holster and very comfortable to wear.  I plan to order more holsters from Fist in the future.
Thanks.

Hello - Today I received my #5 Pocket Holster w/ Cover Option. I just wanted to tell you that I could not be happier with the holster. It fits my Springfield XD40 perfectly, looks fantastic, and shows excellent quality & workmanship. I had heard & read great things about your holsters, but mine even exceeds my expectations. I've purchased other holsters that were more expensive, but they could not compare to your quality. I will be ordering again from you, and will definitely recommend your holsters to my friends.
Thanks for a great experience.

Janet/Jim,
 
I received both holsters today.  These were the #43's modified to have the entire muzzle covered, and with thumb breaks.  As Janet knows, I'm an impatient customer.  However, as always your products make the wait worthwhile. 
 
Both holsters fit the guns  (a Colt Officer's Model, and a Springfield XD-45 4") perfectly.  Many holsters supposedly designed for concealment look good in the pictures, but don't work in reality.  Your holsters truly get the butt of the gun in tight against the body, to minimize its profile.  I don't know how you do this so well, when other manufacturers can't figure it out.  Of course I don't need to know.  I can just call you and order a holster. 
 
Thanks very much.

Hello,
 
I just received my FIST holsters today and I'm happy to say they all fit perfectly.  The two IWB and the one pocket holster snap retain the gun by the trigger guard and hold it securely.
In life, you get what you pay for and those looking for cheap holsters should remember that buying products is like buying oats:  The oats that have been through the horse come cheaper.
I must admit though that your holsters are less expensive than most of the leather holsters on the market, but work much better.
Thanks again for a great product,

Alan Simon

I just wanted to thank you guys for making great leather holsters at a reasonable price. I have 3 Fist leather hoslters for my Glock 26 and one for my Sig p239 9mm. I couldn't be happier... they fit and function great and they look good too. Thanks for making a great product....I'll be ordering another as soon as my next purchase arrives...the Sprinfield Armory XD compact 45 ACP....I can't wait!!!
 
Thanks Again,

Wow.  I carry this gun every day.  The other 4 or 5 holsters I ordered from you are only carried on occassion.  Is 9 months the normal life expectancy of one of your holsters?  To say I am disappointed is an understatement.  I'll need to think about it for a second to see if I want to spend more money on another Fist holster.
Thanks,
Eric
