This review is for the RT suede holster that fits Springfield Armory XD & XDS. I originally ordered the size for the S/A Hellcat & Sig Sauer P365, thinking it would fit my Hellcat Pro .. nope, just way too tight! So, that one got returned and I used the site, handgunhero (a great site, BTW!), to do a size comparison and decided to give the RT holster that fits the XD & XDS a try. For reference, the Hellcat Pro is virtually identical to the SS P365XL, in size. This holster fits my Hellcat Pro perfectly. This is my third RT holster, and their American-made quality is superb! The suede holster is a bit thinner than the regular leather holster, which makes for a more comfortable, and slightly more concealable, carry. The only suggestion is for RT to assign a model number to the various sizes, even something like #1, #2, etc.; that would make it easier for your customers. That from aside, Relentless Tactical is a great company making first-rate products .. thanks!

I have ordered all three sizes of this holster. Good tight fit, comfortable for CC. Since it's leather, it seems to mold over time to your particular carry so you don't need one made specifically for your model. Very basic in design, typically covers to just below the rear sight. It's a lot more comfortable to wear than Kydex or plastic. Can't beat the value.

This is a very nice holster, well made and is perfect for what I'm using it for. This fits two of mine one is a subcompact and the other is a compact. The sub compact easily can be used inside the waistband with this and my compact can be used both inside the waistband and in my front pocket as well.

By introduction, I'm an instructor and I wear a handgun regularly. But not always the same gun or holster because I test out a variety of rigs so I can relate my experiences to my concealed carry classes. Hence, I have the "Big Box of Holsters". Today I tested a new holster, from Hyperion Enterprises, for a Springfield XDS .45cal 3.3" barrel. This holster is an IWB holster in suede, which makes it somewhat unusual -- and the reason I decided to give it a try.I need to be honest and say that IWB holsters that do not completely cover all parts of the gun relative to my body are not my favorites, but holsters that do 100% coverage are hard to find and bulky when you do find them. So I'm often forced to use a holster that has some skin contact. I do not regularly wear both an undershirt and an outer shirt; if I did then skin contact would not be a problem. I also prefer tuckable holsters since I prefer to tuck in my shirt rather than leave it out. Now in the warmer months (I'm in the Midwest) then I am more likely to accept wearing a shirt untucked which gives me the opportunity to wear non-tuckable holsters like this one.Which brings me to the Relentless by Hyperion. In the process of looking for the Best Possible IWB Holster I discovered this product, one of the buttload of holsters out there that I have not yet tried. So far I have worn it about 4 hours, but I am pleased with the results. Not being a tuckable I wore this with shirt out, black, of course, to avoid printing, and went to dinner and shopping. Apart from the fact that I don't like any gun parts touching my skin (which is not the fault of this holster) I was very pleased with the results, and can honestly say this is now my #1 holster for XDS IWB carry. I like the suede, which is not as hard on the skin as a finished leather, and the fact that this holster is quite thin for leather. Of course, that may translate to a shorter lifespan -- that I don't know and won't know for a long time, but it seems very sturdy yet flexible. It conforms to the gun and my body very well, and was surprisingly COOL to the skin! I wore it in the 4:00 position with a medium tight polo shirt and there was very little printing at all. If you didn't know about printing you'd probably not spot it. (I'm 5' 10" 180 lbs to give you an idea of body type.) The butt of the gun laid nicely against my back no matter how I twisted and turned. That scores Big Points here in gun-friendly Illinois.Like all holsters of this design it is hard to re-holster because the opening is not reinforced. Again, not a fault of the manufacturer -- it is just how this design comes together. But fortunately re-holstering usually doesn't need to be done fast. At home I practiced a few draws and it was on a par with similar holsters. Not as fast as my OWB holsters of course, but IWB never is.To summarize, this is a very nice holster, worthy of the price, and I will recommend it to others. Pros: the suede is thin and conformal and comfortable, and actually feels cool on a warm day, which is a huge plus. Cons: none, really, that are not attributable to this type of design. Improvements: if this was a tuckable with some extra material as a skin guard it would be an unbeatable holster. Oh, and it also fits my Ruger SR40c, so it was like getting two holsters for the price of one. (I suspect it would fit other similar firearms.) A nice purchase, this one will be in my closet instead of relegated to the BBoH. Good job, Hyperion!Note: I was not supplied with this holster -- it is an outright purchase and neither Hyperion nor Amazon has rewarded me for this review.

Did exactly what I want. Sits lower in my waist band. Very comfortable. Well made.

I was using this brand of holster in the leather version (I believe it's called the defender). I used it on my old Shield 9mm and recently purchased the shield plus. I appreciate the fact that the same holster works for both guns and started to carry my new shield plus on the older leather holster and purchased this suede version for my old shield to be used as a backup. The suede version does not disappoint. What I mostly like about the relentless tactical IWB holsters is the fact that it doesn't collapse on itself when there is no gun in it. The only other alternative to it (as far as I know) is the kydex holders (which I hate, cause it has absolutely no give). Anyway, I'm just as happy with the suede version as I was with the leather version and the suede is a lot cheaper, although it doesn't look quite as nice as the leather. So, if you're looking for a nicer look, pay the extra money and go with leather, but if you're looking for value and the best bang for your buck, get this suede holster. Either way, in my personal opinion, you can't beat the quality in IWB holsters that are either leather or suede than relentless tactical.
