This holster and the Ruger LCP Max are like peas and carrots and meant to be with each other. I can’t imagine carrying any other way. This is my second Pocket Locker, my other one has the thumb tab. The curve and hook allow for a flawless draw every time so the thumb tab is really like extra insurance. The thumb tab is ideal for staging a draw which is a positive feature, but I wanted one without the thumb tab so it was perfectly form fitting to the gun and without the extra material. I now rotate between the two and like having the option. I also sent a request for some custom work, to smooth the edges around the mag release and they executed my request perfectly—by default on my first Pocket Locker, there were flared edges above the mag release that didn’t feel nice in my pocket and I ended up fixing myself. This time they did it for me and it’s perfect. They also mentioned to me that there’s a lifetime guarantee so if the retention or anything ever needs adjustment, you can send it in and they’ll make it right again. Overall, I’m super happy with this holster and feel this American company is trustworthy and excellent. I recommend them without hesitation.
