,22 Compact
I've got about 1,500 rounds down the pipe with mine, no issues whatsoever. Picked it up months ago from PSA for $250, at that price it was a no brainer. It's a keeper.

My N82 is the most comfortable single retention metal clip tuckable I have but the draw stroke does take some getting used to. It's not just a straight pull up but a twist to the body with the butt to get it to release. It certainly is not going to get out unless you want it to.
Thanks for posting this, I just checked my PAS purchased 22c. The pin is in place where it should be. BTW, I have fed it Federal, CCI, Hanson, Remington, ARMSCOR, WW all without any ftf. It has run like a champ so far. For $250 I'm a happy camper.
I tried Crossbreed, Alien Gear, Old Faithfull with mixed success. None were bad, just not exactly right. A buddy lent me his N82 IWB for my 9mm Shield and the search was over. It's shirt tuckable, very comfortable, secure, has one belt clip and did I mention comfortable?
