Reviews on a Desantis Cozy Partner

[chaseman31]

I am leaning toward the desantis cozy partner for my iwb holster, of all the reviews, trying many, and overall construction I am pretty set on this holster. I wanted to get
opinions, either good or bad from someone who uses this holster daily. If anyone has first hand experience with this holster, either bad or good, please share.

DeSantis

DeSantis is one of many holster makers. As such I don't think their products are any better or worse than anyone else's. If the Cozy Partner is indeed the style of IWB holster you're looking for, I'm sure you'll be happy with it. You'll appreciate that this holster has a guard to shield the gun from your body. This is especially important for those of us who have let good living sneak up on us.

My personal preference for IWB holsters are the ones made of ballistic nylon.

Not to ask a stupid question, but since I am new to iwb holsters, what type of holsters are made up of ballistic nylon???

I use the Pocket Tuc and it works really well for me. The Cozy Partner looks like a great upgrade and looks better. Ballistic Nylon is just a super tough nylon.

Nice holster

I have one for my Bodyguard 380 and like it a lot. Well-made, comfortable, is holding up well with moderate summer IWB wear (sometimes I carry in a pocket holster). My BG is the older model with the Insight laser, and I like the fact the holster accommodates the (notorious) laser pushbuttons, but doesn't activate them. The reinforced leather is a bit thick, but the BG itself is so slim I don't really care. If you plan to use one for a thicker gun, it could be more of a factor. See the 2nd photo—I tried to measure the total thickness of the package that rides inside the waistband—it's around 1.36 inches. YMMV.

I found it too thick for my liking.
