Dean Safe Stealth XL Velcro Pistol Holster **Disappointment**

Recommended Posts

So June of '15 I ordered a 10 pack of these on a recommendation from someone...excellent product...well it WAS an excellent product...fast forward to this Christmas the Mrs got me another 10 pack(gave her the same exact link that was in my order email) and something just didn't seem right...sure enough its a different product. What was once a nice made in the USA is now a meh made in China product...pretty disappointed in this...sure its serving the purpose but its not not the same...the shape is different and even the material is a more firmer coarse material that stays creased...Just a heads up for anyone who has ordered these in the past and are looking for more...they won't be the same...I've sent Dean Safe an email, just waiting to hear back.

Thanks alot brother.... I had bought a bunch of the old ones over a year ago and just ordered more only to find out after weeks that they were on backorder. Thanks to your info I just cancelled and ordered a different brand. It's a shame because the old USA ones were a great product.

Which ones did you order? And I agree, the USA made ones were/are perfect and they had to go and mess with it.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
