How does the holster keep from sliding out from in-between the mattress? Any issues with drawing the weapon from the holster?

Hi James, Well I stopped using it a while back. It's now in my drawer of old holsters and such. On the photo you see 2 stripes. Those stripes are a cross between velcro and sticky rubber and that is what holds it between the mattress and box springs. Drawing, yep, that's why it's in the drawer. I don't think it was necessarily the fault of the holster. My mattress would move relative to the box springs resulting in the grip being forced against the mattress making it difficult to draw. The quality of the holster is fine. It's the function that fails me. Dale

It stays in there because the platform material is rough and does not slide easily, and the pressure of the mattress stabilizes it as well. No issue with drawing- you can turn the weapon either way. Bought this for my husband and he loves it. Gives it high marks!

I have never had mine slide out. The part that goes into the mattress is pretty long. It also is roughed up some so it stays put. I have a Springfield XDM 9mm 3.8 with a full 19 round clip in mine. Has never fell out... I have seen it pulled out slightly and put it back in but that was probably from mattress shift. Don't be afraid!!!

The holster stays in place and does not slide around. The material between the mattress and boxspring will determine whether it stays in place or not. There are no issues holstering or withdrawing the firearm from the holster. I have used it for over a year with no issues. Great Product and I recommend it highly to anyone wishing to keep their firearm close at hand during the sleeping hours.

The weight of the mattress on top of the holster flap keeps it in place. (Note: it does slide out after about a week of not touching the holster). I have had no problems drawing from the holster, Only in practice have I drawn the pistol. It works and is nicely hidden when the bed is made. I would recommend the holster.

There is a non-slip surface that you place in between the mattress and the mattress pad. The weight of the mattress on the non-slip pad keeps it in place.There is no problem drawing from the holster as long as it is not covered by a sheet or blanket, etc.

It stays fast. The only issue is when you're changing the sheets. If you pull the corner up on the fitted sheet the weight of the gun can make the whole thing fall on the ground. Take the gun out prior to fitting the sheet and then put it right back. Isn't an issue, just FYI. Drawing the weapon is easy and seamless, but I use a Glock 23 so there's nothing for it to catch on. Still, I don't foresee any issues with a different gun.

With the gun inserted all the way into the holster, the Nemisis makes it sit in your pocket much like a wallet. With the barrel pointing down and your fingers on the grip, the Nemisis clings to the inside of your pocket as you draw the weapon. It takes a little practice to get used to. It helps the use your thumb to push down on the back of the holster as you draw in order to keep the holster from coming out with the gun. Like all holsters it is helpful to break it in and practice drawing as often as possible to perfect the technique, your comfort with handling it and ensure consistency. Best of luck.

I have the 2 gun model and it works great and my weapons do not slide around at all. I keep 9mm and a 38 special in it.

It actually takes a bit of effort to slide it out, especially since I have to push it up from the bottom. I guess this could be a good thing, too, in the sense that it's very secure in the holster!

No not really when your whereing it it's hard to holster the gun because the leather it kinda flimsy. I'm about to get new holster. I forget the name of the material but is plastic like so it keeps it's shape ans make drawing and holstering a breez!! It's a lil more money but worth it. I can send u the link just send me your email

It actually holds tightly in the holster, and to remove it, it just slides from the top Hope that helps

It's just a slip on, it has a notch on the back to allow it to grab onto the belt but you don't feed your belt through it. I love this holster, once it's on I forget it's there and it holds firmly in place, it doesn't slide around at all.

Neither.....the retention feature is a "squeeze" function on the front, inner portion of the trigger guard. Simple friction holds the gun in the holster. It is adjustable.

It is made for pocket carry. I did try the IWB approach and it works. With no way to attach to either belt or pants, I'm not sure how secure it would be. Around the house it felt good. Drawing the 238 was not a problem but reholstering could be if the holster were to shift after removing the firearm. I use IWB all the time and feel better having my holster securely attached to my belt.

Never had any issues with my pistol coming out. Also never had any issues with the sights or round in chamber indicator when holster or drawing pistol.

There is a tiny bit of reinforcement, but it's just an extra strip of leather. If you are looking for a holster that holds itself open then this is not the one you want. As soon as you draw your firearm, if you do not pull the holster out with the firearm then it will close.

Its a paddle type holster, it just slides over the belt and pants. When the gun is pressed all the way in the holster its hard to remove, it takes both hands. When its at the first stop its much easier to draw with one hand. Overall a good holster for the money.

I just bought a $20 nylon ambidextrous holster at gander mountain. The key is to make sure, like with all holsters, that it covers your trigger. I believe it was a gun mate.

I'm not familiar with the holster, but this trigger stay goes in snugly and would not fall out unless pushed with some force applied to its center.

No there something wrong with holster. I have never had that problem. The are different size holsters

The way the gun sits in it. I would not recommend as gun is way to tight. When you get the gun in it you have to use 2 hands to get it out. You could never draw. The gun sticks in it.

I have not had any issues with that. I read that from some of the other reviews but I've not experienced any issue what so ever. It's a great holster, you won't be disappointed. I have a Crossbreed IWB for my XD .40's and it's nice but I like the SHTF one better. It has a bit less extra leather above the waist and makes it easier to maneuver.
