I purchased a Ironside Holster for my Glock 45 Gen 6 COA . The holster shipped fast but I noticed that the screws seemed to be short and when adjecting retention the belt clip had lots of play. ( see photos ) TREX sent a holster parts kit but did not include any longer screws. The holster is a budget option so I guess it's t be expected and the Kydex is is already wearing on the slide on both my Gen6 G45 and Gen3 G19. You get what you pay for I guess.

Overview
The Ironside is an OWB (outside-the-waistband) concealment holster with adjustable passive retention, specifically designed to fit comfortably on your waist in the 3-5 o'clock position. The Ironside is ideal for people wanting to carry concealed under a jacket or button-up, or for people who don’t prefer carrying inside the waistband. It features 1.5" or 1.75" belt loops, which are adjustable so you can set the angle (cant) of your handgun, from -5 to +10 degrees, to ensure a solid, intuitive grip when drawing. It's made of durable, precision-formed .093" Kydex and comes in light-compatible and non-light-compatible models.

FAQ
Ironside or Sidecar or Ragnarok holster?
The Ironside is best utilized as a concealment holster, worn outside-the-waistband under a coat, jacket, or button-up shirt. It can double as a dedicated open carry holster, but we don't recommend open carry unless you're in an environment that also dictates wearing a plate carrier or kit. Then, it works well depending on the plate carrier you're using (see plate carrier FAQ below).
The Sidecar is a dedicated inside-the-waistband concealment holster, designed to be worn in the appendix or 3-5 o'clock position. If you're wearing a Sidecar at 3-5 o'clock, it generally won't be as easy or fast to draw from as the Ironside.
The Ragnarok is primarily designed for open carry with plate carriers and kit on. Because it sticks out further from the body, it's easier to draw from and clear your carrier. This means the Ragnarok is harder to conceal under a jacket, coat, or button-up shirt, which is where the Ironside shines.
What kind of belt should I put this on?
Other belts that we've tested and recommend are Kore Essentials and Ciguera.
The Ironside will not work well on over-the-pants style battle belts like our Orion. In some cases, the Ironside can work on thinner competition-style two-piece belts, but its not suited for that very well.

I have several of these OWB holsters utilized for some of my full size pistols and have been very happy with fit & finish of the holster for a reasonable price. Only 4 stars because i have broken 2 separate belt loops and have had to order a spare set with each holster order. Would like to have a more robust set of belt loops, especially for heavier full size pistols.

The finish on the outside is really nice. The camouflage looks great. The inside seems to me like they were working with a mold that has been beat to crap and time to retire. It was not smooth, rather lumpy, and the components of my Surefire X300U were rubbing the inside so bad that it was leaving kydex particles in places that were not formed correctly. Like I mentioned, the mold they used to make the holster may have been used 75 too many times. I adjusted the holster many times to try to make it fit. After all, this is probably my 20th kydex or Boltaron holster, so I'm experienced with how they are supposed to fit. After a little Dremeling, trimming, and filing, it works like it should have out of the box.

Fits like a glove. Great quality.

I like how easy I can still conceal carry with this holster it’ll be easier with a jacket or coat but here in South Fl I’d lean towards the raptor holster

The comfort and concealment of this holster are fantastic. The materials used are superior. I’d prefer the option for a more negative cant, but it works. Great holster for daily concealed carry. I don’t know why the g43xmos has to use the g48 cut. It’s a little long, but it functions.

Quality is top tier, perfect fit, and customer service is top notch.

The holster is okay. It doesn’t fit around the buckle of my tackle belt. It is super tight around my Sig. very hard to get out of holster.

I’ve gotten a few holsters over the years, always solid quality, and the little improvements that make a noticeable difference are very much appreciated. For example, changing some of nuts and bolts, literally, that makes it much easier to make adjustments to positioning. 10 out of 10 Would recommend 👍

I’m partial to OWB holsters. This one is the best I’ve used. Fits close to the body and is easily concealed under an untucked shirt. Draw is consistent and reholstering is quick. My weapon locks in with the audible and tactile snap. Best lured holster I’ve used. The polymer is strong. No flimsy over priced junk like offered from WTP holsters. I have three and have ordered a 4th for my 19X.
Steve Sanders
Easy to place order. Received it quickly. Fits great and comfortable to wear. I did adjust the cant to suit me better. I’m glad the option is available.
Matt
No complaints. Holster is 10-4.
