I view DeSantis Holsters as sort of a value product. What I mean is that they are relatively low cost and for the money they charge you get a descent leather holster.

I still own a few but I discovered that there are way better holsters on the market - although they cost several times more than a DeSantis does. To me it's well worth the money and there is really no comparison other than the fact that they have a similar look.

For belt carry the best I know of and have used for over a decade now is the Kramer Leather Horsehide OWB Scabbard. No snaps, no velcro, no screws, no reinforcements needed, just a straight forward top quality concealed belt holster that works, lasts and was built right.

DeSantis is sort of the "popular priced starting point" for CCW guys (at least in my mind).
