## Description

After years of carrying concealed and never finding that perfect concealment holster, I finally decided that if you want something done right, you just have to do it yourself! As a competitive shooter and firearms instructor for the Department of Homeland Security, carrying concealed is not only a part of my job, it’s a way of life. That’s why I developed the Q-Series Stealth holster to meet the demands of those who expect more from their concealment system. During the design process I kept three guiding principles in mind; If a holster isn’t comfortable, no one will wear it. If it’s too expensive, no one will buy it, and if it doesn’t work, it’ll just get thrown into a box with all of your other lackluster gear. The Q-Series Stealth was built on these principles and I am sure you will be pleased with the result. The Stealth holster is an ambidextrous, tuckable, extreme low profile concealment holster that can be worn with or without a belt. It also offers one feature that most minimalist holsters do not, easy reholstering. I’ve worked hard to ensure that the Q-Series Stealth is reliable, comfortable and affordable. If you’re like me and depend on your holster to perform and function as well as the weapon you carry, then the Q-Series Stealth is made for you! — Gary Quesenberry

Review: Initially unsure about this holster, my concerns have been quelled. Now a lifelong customer. - TL;DR if you want a durable, comfortable, minimalist holster for AIWB or general IWB with excellent retention of the firearm and a design that prevents shifting of the holster on your waistband your money is well spent with the Q Series. The founder, Gary, demonstrated a great level of service to his customers and has crafted an excellent holster. 5/5 will be back. I bought this holster looking for a minimalist holster for my Glock 48. Although it's advertising and intended use is as an AIWB holster, I use it for strong side 3 o'clock carry. This holster is AWESOME. The polymer used in the holster is very tough and the clip's design, with a very small opening and generously sized loop, holds onto your pants like a vice while not tearing it to shreds. Initially I had reservations about this holster, after I received it I noted there was a fair amount of play; I could move the holster around the trigger guard. I was going to return it to desertcart but I thought I should reach out to Q Series CS first to see if we could come to a different solution. The President of the company, Gary, responded. He asked for video of the 'issue' which I provided, and after viewing it explained that the holster was designed with play as previous iterations had so much retention that they had made drawing your firearm next to impossible. He assured me it was secure. I told him I'd take it on a test, that being a 2 mile run. If my Glock 48 fell out I'd send the holster back and if it stayed put I'd keep evaluating it. After 6 total miles running with this holster I can attest that it is extremely comfortable and that the retention is perfect. My initial impressions, while not entirely unreasonable, were proven wrong as this holster has proven itself a reliable means of concealing my firearm even during high activity. Gary and CJ (the representative who first answered my claim), have been extremely patient and kind. I truly value their excellent service and they have created a loyal, lifetime customer.
Review: Just about perfect for the Glock 43 - I'm very happy with this holster so far. I wanted a simple holster that doesn't negate the reason I bought my Glock 43 in the first place - Concealability. This keeps the entire package very small while still having great retention and easy access. I'm finally able to sit down without poking myself or showing the world what's under my shirt! I wasn't sure this would be good for kidney carry, but I'm able to carry this at 5:00 without issue. It covers the necessary portions without protruding far past the frame and adding bulk. I've attached some photos to show how slim and form-fitted this thing is. Re-holstering in that position would be a pain, but get this: you can both rack the slide and insert the magazine while it's in the holster! If it's really a problem for you, just clear your gun and re-holster, then insert the magazine and rack it while holstered. It only takes me a moment to get it back in place though, so I don't see it as an issue. The only downside I've noticed thus far is the clip protruding a little further out than necessary. I'd say it's extended about 1/8th to 1/4th of an inch further than it needs to be - unless you're wearing ski pants or something. If it were closer to the frame, it'd make it a bit easier to draw from a kidney carry position too. All in all, I feel like this is just what I needed to compliment my small concealed Glock 43. Adding a larger holster would defeat the purpose of a small gun. And the way it covers such a small area allows me to reach the slide stop, the magazine release, and rack the slide - all while holstered. Pretty great design, if you ask me! EDIT: 6 months later and I'm still using this daily. I've loosened the clip screws and canted the clip a few degrees so my middle finger doesn't rub as I grasp the grip. I also sanded down the edges around the trigger guard a little to make it feel smoother. Two small modifications that I felt were necessary after 6 months. But I'm still a happy camper with this holster!

## Features

- COMPATIBLE MODELS - This holster is designed specifically for your Glock 42, 43, 43X, and 48. It does not fit 43X MOS or other models. Please make sure to purchase the right holster for your model as it won't fit other models.
- BREAK-IN PERIOD - These holsters are like a pair of new shoes. They are sturdy and fit well, but we suggest you use them for a couple of days so they can adjust to your gun. You will see that they start fitting great with time.
- INJECTION MOLDED VS KYDEX - Q-Series holsters are injection molded. They are both strong and durable, but Kydex tends to deform with heat, while injection-molded polymer construction is lightweight and guarantees a perfect fit every time.
- THE ONLY MINIMALIST HOLSTER WITH FULL-SIZE FEATURES - Snaps firmly over the trigger guard, providing positive retention while completely covering the trigger for a safe and reliable conceal carry
- LOW-PROFILE & TUCKABLE - Extremely low-profile tuckable design sits close to the body and virtually eliminates printing, the ultimate option for all IWB and appendix carry.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does anyone know if an ulticlip will work with this iwb holster?**
A: Short answer: Yes. However, the holster has subtle contours and the ulticlip is flat. But no biggie as far as functionality. When you put a ulticlip on the holster, it will no longer be tuckable.  If the purpose of attaching the ulticlip is to wear the holster without using a belt, you might  want to try the holster as is first. The spring clip already on the holster will securely attach to your waistband as is.

**Q: Will this fit the m&p compact?**
A: Yes, the version for the M&P will fit the Compact (4 inch barrel) and the Subcompact (3.5 inch barrel). Since the Q-Series does not cover the barrel, length is not an issue. The first answer may cause confusion. "M&P Compact" refers to either the M&P with 4 inch (Compact) or 3.5 inch ( Subcompact)  barrel, compared to the 4.5 inch barrel of the M&P. The M&P Shield is NOT the same gun. The Q-Series has a separate version for the M&P Shield.  The M&P Shield is a single-stack pistol, compared to the double-stack M&P, so it is narrower.

**Q: Will this fit a smith and Wesson compact m&p 40?**
A: Yes, I have one for my S&W compact m&p 45.

**Q: will this fit a gen5 G45 9mil?**
A: I think so.but You might want too send them a message reagarding on the fit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I think this is a great holster once it's on and you're sure you're holstered
*by B***R on 26 August 2016*

First Impressions: I think this is a great holster once it's on and you're sure you're holstered. It's light, it's comfortable in the waistband and it won't tip or slip around on you because the clip offsets the weight in a great way. All around sturdy. And I really mean that - I like it a lot. The biggest problem I had was getting the damn thing on. I fumbled with this far more than any standard sized IWB holster because of how difficult it is to get the clip to go over both your waistband and your belt. Furthermore, it's very uncomfortable (and by that I mean scary) trying to holster a pistol by the rails when you can't fully see where the thing is going and the trigger is disappearing into your pants, and it may or may not be going to the right place. That just seems like a recipe for disaster. That being said, I am not a big guy by any means. I'm 160 lbs with a very lanky frame and I worked up a sweat trying to put this thing in my pants with or without my carry weapon, and then holstering from there is a bitch. Updated: The clip becomes easier to work after a bit of use. I have utilized this holster practically for IWB at 4 o'clock and AIWB and it is fantastic. Re-holstering is possible after practice with an unloaded and checked firearm.
