1) I was wrong to recommend the velcro hooks go on the opposite side- that would cause it to catch on clothes- but i was still right to call it an issue.
2) i didn't put it in the video, but if you like the video, please subscribe. i don't make that many videos but i do aspire to one day getting enough traffic to monetize my posts- to do that i need 1000 subscribers.
ORIGINAL POST:
When I was reviewing this holster, I couldn't find any independent 3rd party reviews on the VNSH holster. However, with a money back guarantee (even return shipping), I decided it was a zero risk decision. This video is my raw unbiased review of the product I received. I'm making the video to help others that might be considering it.
SPOILER WARNING: After receiving the holster, it took less than 15 minutes for me to decide to return it. To be fair, they got pretty close... close enough I would be willing to give them a second try if they address my design concerns. Absent that, I'll remain on the hunt for a holster I am look forward to wearing.
2 things:
1) VNSH has seen this and replied. Kudos to them! Check out their response at th-cam.com/video/sOOq_m8FyeE/w-d-xo.html
2) I was wrong to recommend the velcro hooks go on the opposite side- that would cause it to catch on clothes
great review. you brought up a lot of valid points in the video concerning areas needed for improvement. i'm going to head over to the link above that you posted to hear their response. as for #2 above, with their statement that the velcro has to be on the side that they originally placed it, i think the best option is to create multiple lengths (ex, maybe a small-medium and a large-extra large belt so that the velcro doesn't get put in a position that touches your skin) or have an add-in piece (like you mentioned) that can cover the velcro in the event that someone is on the larger end like yourself.
Honestly, they'd be better off with reverse bra hooks. or at least an option for that.
Great review! Almost wasted $80 on a sub par belt when I can pay half for a better one. Thanks!
@@trainertricks5376 same here, which one ??
@@trainertricks5376 yea me too almost wasted money on this
This was such a great review. Honest, reasonable, rational. If the company had guys like you during development, they'd have an even better product. Some of these issues are literally the result of a 50-50 coin flip decision. Hooks on the outside belt and loops on the inside. Folding the snap webbing tail under instead of sewing the tail further along the strap. Only two options and they picked the worse one. Hopefully they see this and can make quite reasonable changes.
Saw it and responded! We're going to make it even better.
@@vnshholsters respect for listening to this feedback. Will be ordering one once the issues are resolved based on that alone.
@@vnshholsters when will the retainer "flaw" be fixed? Thank you
@@vnshholsters?????? still waiting on an answer. Debit card in hand.
someone rightly pointed out they can't flip the velcro lest it hook on clothes.... and I understand an extender would have made it better... but the thumb break problem remains. I hope they fix it.
Man they really needed someone like you on their R&D team. Thank you for sharing your insights. It's so great to see a reasonable person share sound opinions.
Ha! I do wish them every success. I earnestly believe the world is a safer place when responsible gun owners carry every day. I wasn't trying to talk anyone out of the holster, just share my own experience and opinions. Now on the other hand, if VNSH wanted to say "thank you" and send me a free holster as a review, I'd be ecstatic and do a follow-up video highlighting the improvements but I can only wish. 🙂
@@anthonym8807 Here it is....I had that feeling you were in it for a free holster. Unbelievable!!!
So many "new start-ups" scarmble to get a product to market, rather than work out the kinks... -Good prodcuts, at resonable price points, sell themselves!
Anthony, wanted you to know that new viewers are still seeing your review for the very first time. It still just as important now as it was when you made it. Thanks for your excellent work. Very fair and balanced.
As soon as you pulled the trigger on your M&P while it was still inside and the holster, I yelled “No!”.
If there is even a 10% chance of that happening, it is too dangerous.
Thanks for having the courage to be honest and truthful. You may have saved someone’s life or a criminal charge from a ND.
You, sir, are a hero!
Need more Anthonys in the world. Thanks much.
One of the best reviews I have ever seen. Thank you for your honest review, they should hire you to be part of the redesign team.
I just got mine and I love it. Ordered it skeptical. Very pleased.
Thanks for taking the time to do this review! I absolutely agree that the catch release is a critical design flaw and have no idea how that got through any basic testing. Glad to see the company seems to have noticed, so I'll wait to see if they do anything about it.
Thinking bandaid until redesign is for purchaser to use electrical tape or duct tape to secure the flap down. Perhaps even try to sew it??
Well you just saved me a headache 😂 I was considering purchasing one now I’m back to searching great points in your review these points they really should have checked out.. before and after it’s called QC known as Quality Control have to check your product
They did see and respond- and will be addressing. Respect to VNSH! See th-cam.com/video/sOOq_m8FyeE/w-d-xo.html
I got one a month ago. I, too, saw the stitching was sub-par, especially at that price point. I got use to flipping the snap, but I see your point. I e-mailed them pics of stitching and they sent me another with no questions asked. Now I have two for the price of 79$. All in all, it's not my favorite, but I would wear one if I was in shorts or sweats, and for that reason I'm keeping mine. Great review, much-needed for this holster.
Thank you SO much for making this video. You just saved me a lot of money, hassle and disappointment. I very much appreciate it. This current model has WAY too many design flaws and serious safety issues. And at $130, the build quality issues are also unacceptable, to me anyway. Like you said, that's what you'd expect from "Walmart quality". However, $130 is NOT a Walmart price point. So, they should be doing better than they are for that kind of money. Anyway, thanks again. :) Hopefully someday they'll come out with something better.
VNSH saw my review and responded. I give them respect for their reply. ref: th-cam.com/video/sOOq_m8FyeE/w-d-xo.html
@@anthonym8807 great video
great unbiased review bud, I was debating on getting this holster, thank you for showing me these features and drawbacks. This will be a no go. thank you again.
Thank you for this review. I was just getting ready to purchase this item online. But now I'm aware of the safety hazard of being able to shoot while inside the holster. I'll wait for the updated version if they decide to fix these flaws.
There are aware and responded. Look for a V2 to come out in the future. (Their response @ th-cam.com/video/sOOq_m8FyeE/w-d-xo.html )
Anthony, thank you so much for this review. I literally had my credit card out. I’m a 34 waist so the Velcro situation would not be an issue for me. The trigger guard? Maybe. But it looks like you really had to dig in there with your finger hard to pull the trigger. But the issue with the strap that holds the gun in place…total deal breaker. You’re right. In a panic situation, you’d never free your own gun from the holster. I’ll wait for the improved model, or find a better option in the meantime. Great review. Really appreciated.
They saw the review and responded- I totally respect the leadership i see. ref: th-cam.com/video/sOOq_m8FyeE/w-d-xo.html
Easily tweaked to work perfectly, literally took me about 10 minutes with a needle and thread.
Supposed to move the retention strap over to cover the trigger group.
Huge help. Thank you for your time. I got an ad and it was an ad i actually watched, i went to the website and just about ordered it and decided i should find a review for it. Almost all videos about this holster are by the company itself. I found yours, and man am i glad i did. My waist isnt as big, so the velcro wouldnt have been an issue, the other non issue for me would be the trigger guard, i carry a compact 1911 so you can pull the trigger all day and it isnt going off until you drop the safety and engage the grip safety, but the fact that that strap is sewn the wrong way so it creates a barrier to my thumb is a deal breaker. Again, thank you. 🤘
Saw the commercial, came straight to YT for an independent search, yours was the first video to pop up. Watched, agreed, won’t be buying. Thanks for the info bud.
I just ordered one,and wish I saw your review before I did .
Awesome,and honest review,and after watching the companies response I truly believe they thank you for it,because it will help them to make a better product,the "American way", and help their business grow! God Bless!
Thank you so much for taking the time to do a review. I was going to buy this holster but wanted a third party review. I appreciate how through you were and how you pointed out various problems.
Great review. I came here looking for an honest review on this holster before I purchased it.
My main concern would be it falling out when I'm running or exercising. I absolutely agree that the little notch would be a huge issue when needing to present your firearm in an emergency. The search continues for a decent holster that I can wear while running.
Thank you. Was teetering on buying it but your video changed my mind.
Thank you for the thoughtful review! I've loved the Raven holsters for about 20+ years, but I'm always keeping my eyes open for the next great holster. If VNSH makes a 2.0 version, correcting the issues, I think I'd be willing to try one.
This review provides valuable insights. Thank you for your candid feedback. It has greatly assisted me in selecting the right holster.
In my opinion, you did a great job with your review. Thank you for taking your time. It was very thorough.
Great, honest, straightforward review. Thank you.
One of the best reviews I've ever seen for a product. Thank you!!!!
That’s people it’s one of the most comprensible and honest review I’m see in long time.
Thaks Sr..👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
And that’s the difference wen companies make their own reviews and real weapons users make real life situations….
Anthony, thank you for that review as it was very helpful and I see it has prompted the company to improve on their design. I do appreciate your input.
So glad you did this review. Thank you for saving me time and money. Dude keep up the awesome reviews.
Thank you for your honest review I use alot of work out shorts and its a holster i was looking at. thank you again.
Thank you for your honest & reasonable review… I wasn’t sure if I wanted to take a chance on it or not. Now I will look around for other styles… you definitely helped me. Thanks Again
This is GREAT! very helpful information you gave. Thank you so much!!!

Thanks Anthony, appreciate you taking the time to do an informative review.

Thanks for taking the time to do a review. If they take what you said to heart, correct these issues, and I'd hope they'd send you a free demo to review for us again, I'd consider buying one that passes on these points you brought up.

Great honest review! 👍🏾
Thank you for the review. Honest and to the point. I may get one, and I will make sure they made modifications before I do. I see your point. Those were all valid issues. Being able to pull the trigger and the unsnapping issue are very valid.
First, your honesty on not being a weapons specialist is refreshing.
Your breakdown of this product is outstanding. Covering issues most would not think about before purchase. I've been looking into this type of holster for my wife. I appreciate your honesty and breakdown after giving the setup a try.
Excellent review. Needed to see this before making a decision. I'm still looking for the right holster.
Hello from north Texas! Thanks for the review Anthony

I just saw your review
It was an excellent review. I just purchased my very 1stv handgun. I ordered this holster 2 days ago, and it should be arriving any day now. I wish I had seen your review before I ordered it. I appreciate your insight l, because I've never had a holster and don't know what to look for in a holster. Thanks again.
Thank you sir, you just saved me some money.
Excellent video, just what I was looking for!
Thank you for this review. Fantastic work, very detailed and informative.
