Pros & Cons
Pros
The ruger lc9 rides nice at the 4 o'clock position. Super comfortable, very concealable. Very nice holster but just a little harder to conceal.
Adjustable tension screw below the trigger guard makes the release customizable. Back of snap rubs slide and snap latch stays in the way when trying to remove firearm. Thumb break is stiff and has never presented any issues with drawing.
This is my second desantis pancake holster (had another for a sig 290) and both have been extremely high quality. Great fit and finish. This is the nicest holster i've ever owned.
Cons
Perhaps mine is defective, but i am not able to get the thumb break strap to snap. The strap is a fraction of an inch too short and it will not reach the snap. Very disappointing from desantis.
Highlights
Quality
I am very impressed with the quality of this holster
This is the 4th desantis holster i purchased and the quality has been great on all of them
This is my first purchase of a desantis holster so not sure of the quality
I like the holster but had a problem with the strap inside snap scratching the gun
Packaging/appearance
I put a felt pad on the inside of the snap to prevent scratches on the gun
What i liked was i removed one of the rows of the stitches and the crimson fit inside the holster
Competitiveness
Over the course of about a week i applied neatsfoot oil to the strap only 5 or 6 times with a qtip it softened and now works great
Fits my lc9s without thumb safety quite well

Awesome holster perfect fit my only complaint is the snap is over the external safety so if you press the snap too hard to secure your firearm you can take the safety off
