    I conceal carry a full size FN 5.7 with this holster, and it is great. I’m not a big guy, and I don’t wear any sort of baggy clothing, and this holster doesn’t print at all, walking around, even with the full size pistol. It’s extremely comfy, and that RCS claw makes a huge difference in the feel. I can ride around in my car or sit in the movies for hours and you’d never know you have a full size, 8″ overall length weapon. Not too mention, the customer service is awesome. They respond to my messages every time, and quickly.
    Clearwater Tactical definitely has my business in the future.

    Most comfortable holster I’ve ever owed, easily conceals my p320 rx with inforce apl

  3. Brad OGLESBY (verified owner)

    Customer service and holster is 5 star quality. I asked for 2 clips and i love how secure and comfortable it feels plus I can make adjustments. It makes my CZ P07 concealable. I highly recommend it!

  4. Brandon (verified owner)

    Love this IWB holster. First time i tried it on i knew clearwater tactical will have by business in the future. Great Product and excellent Customer Service

  5. John Johannesen (verified owner)

    Excellent product. I’ve had mine for a few weeks now. Very comfortable. The claw helps quite a bit with printing.
    I do a bit of teaching, and do a lot of holster presentations during the classes, and this holsters perfect for my style of draw.
    It’s become my recommended holster for my students as well.

    Everybseems make Kydex holsters Thea days but THESE GUYS ARE WAY DIFFERENT! There stuff is better molded, stronger, slight design differences make “Huge Differences” and ootions not available with this quality and at this price anywhere! Plus Models like “The Proteus” provides trusts like: Keeping your pistol closer to you, way less “printing” with finger on holster, stronger and thinner than most and the “Raven Clip” will Definitely keep you from drawing your firearm with the holster still attached or standing up
    Leaving your pistol on your seat behind you! Exceptionalism in design and quality! I would recommend to anyone from CCW holders to and level of Law Enforcement! Keep up the good work guys!

    I’ve had this holster for several months now, and have been carrying it quite often for my CZ P07 Duty. I have to say, this holster has made that gun a joy to carry vs the large clunky Foxx holster I was using for it previously. This holster is one of the slimmest I could find, and it conceals my P07 beautifully. I am more than happy with the fit and finish/retention of the holster, along with the slim profile along with the clip style and location. This is the 5th and last holster I’ll need to buy for my P07. Extremely pleased with how it wears and feels. If I had to quibble it would be that it took several weeks to get the holster, but I knew that before I bought it. All in all, great job CT, I have told everyone I know about your products.

    Received my Proteus holster today. Quality is top notch and the fit for my S&W M&P 2.0 is perfect with just the right amount of retention. I commend Clearwater Tactical for promptly replying to emails with questions before I placed my order. This is top notch customer service and it’s clear that these guys want to earn your business. I will be placing additional orders in the near future. I love being able to purchase American made products especially when our veterans are involved in the process.

  10. hobson151 (verified owner)

    I received my Proteus holster for my M&P 2.0 compact and did they do a great job. I wanted mine with the safety and they made it just like I wanted. They responded to my questions with quick detailed answers and shipped it within a few days. The holster fits well and from the little bit I have worn it, the concealment is great. I will be ordering more from them in the future. Great job!

  11. giovanni_nazario1995 (verified owner)

    This is an awesome holster! Looks and feels top notch! The claw gives the edge in concealment to those with a little bit of some extra weight. Only qualm I have about this product was that the retention was way too tight! When I first put in the pistol I was fighting with it to keep the slide from sliding back and was fighting with the holster to take the pistol back. Easy fix though! Just add two more rubber spacers and adjust the retention and you should be good to go!

  12. Kiel Bredeson

    I have one of these for my full size VP9. I honestly don’t even notice the gun with how comfortable this holster is. It also keeps the gun close to my side so it stays concealed like it should be.

  13. Sarah Wolff (verified owner)

    Consumer service truly amazing!
    I am a petite female (5’3″ and 110lbs) and this holster has made it possible for me to effectively conceal my Walther PPS M2 9MM with less imprinting than I had with my S&W Bodyguard .380. I no longer have to choose between being armed and dressing in women’s clothing. Thank you. Use as an everyday-wear , R appendix, and have only had one minor “issue.” Due to small stature and the weight of the pistol it would fall into FBI-cant. After a few days of fussing and trouble-shooting, I bunched up the top hem of pants to sit above the “claw” and I no longer have the cant issue. Will be purchasing a TAC clip to replace the Raven in hopes of fixing this.

  14. Jake (verified owner)

    NC made me one of these babies for my HK P30. I also had them fit it to accommodate a Surefire XC1 flashlight. It fits perfectly, and wears very comfortably, highly recommend!

  15. mca.darkwing (verified owner)

    I’ve been running this holster for about a month now. Its super comfortable and thin. Fits my pistol great – good retention and easy reholstering. The workmanship on it is fantastic. Highly recommended.

  16. Joe (verified owner)

    Excellent craftsmanship, exactly what I was looking for, asked for a proteus/triton hybrid. It’s Perfect. Most comfortable holster I have used. Thanks guys

  17. Tony Caruso (verified owner)

    Ordered two Proteus holsters. One for an XDS 45 Mod 2, the other for an M&P 22 Compact. I had to adjust the retention to my liking on the 45 but other than that they both fit like a glove. The raven clip and claw hold my 22 just fine wearing gym shorts but I haven’t run with it yet. For walking and biking it’s fine. The only thing I’d suggest it to specify if you have the threaded barrel or not. I didn’t specify non threaded so the holster has a little extra room for the threaded version. Had I specified the already small design could’ve been a little smaller.

    I own other brands of holsters who’s names I won’t mention. They’re very good holsters that do a great job at not printing. Neptune Concealment are just a good or better at not printing and are by far more comfortable. Will probably do a YouTube video review as well.

  18. Timothée Pouyt (verified owner)

    Really discreet and efficient. I recommend this holster. No complaints, it’s perfect.

  19. Jeff K (verified owner)

    This is the second Proteus I have bought. First one for my CZ P-07 and this one for my HK USP9 Compact. This is by far the BEST holster I have owned and I have owned a lot from different companies. Quality is top notch. Definitely a customer for life and my go to holster company.

  20. Darren (verified owner)

    Ordered my Proteus with laser addon for my Beretta PX4 Storm Compact. Love how little extra kydex there is in the design compared to some of the competition out there, it’s a great minimalist design is comfortable as well. Originally purchased for 4 to 5 o-clock position but due to the great design and comfort I’m going to try and run in appendix position.

  21. Jake (verified owner)

    I owe Neptune Concealment an apology, I completely forgot to leave reviews for my purchases. As you read this review, understand that I have purchased THREE of these holsters for three different guns, all of which were custom orders accommodating manual safeties, lights, optic cuts, etc. These holsters are fantastic. Very strong construction, adjustable tension, made in the the USA by some of our beloved Veterans.

    I like to pocket carry with mine. It clips nicely to the outside of my pocket, and looks subtle enough that people don’t seem to notice. The hooks on the holster do a great job of disguising the print of the pistol in my pocket.

    Stop searching and buy this holster. I will only use Neptune, and I’ve gotten my friends on board as well.

    Side note, the logo is bad*ss and I love the wristbands.

  22. Conley Hennigan (verified owner)

    Excellent holster! My only complaint is that the clip that comes on this holster is narrow and being the only clip on the holster it tended to have a bit of free play in the cant of the holster. I ordered a TAC clip as a replacement clip and it made a world of difference in how secure the holster feels on my belt. A TAC clip on this holster as standard would be a nice improvement.

  23. James Rice (verified owner)

    My proteus holster arrived yesterday, and I am very happy with it. I have a bit of an uncommon combo — 509 Tactical, Streamlight TLR-7, and Trijicon RMR. Not easy to find holsters for that configuration. Not only is the holster beautiful, it’s got great quality and craftsmanship. It’s fairly minimalist for a light-bearing holster, which is exactly what I was hoping for.

    Overall, couldn’t recommend more!

  24. Doug (verified owner)

    I purchased a Proteus holster for my Shield 45 some time ago. Great fit and finish and my shield rides IWB comfortably no matter how long I wear it or what I am doing. This year I bought the Shield Plus 9mm (slightly smaller than the .45 and double the capacity) and I’m back to Neptune for another Proteus. For me, there is no better holster. Thanks Neptune for a great product at a great price!
