MArooned Gear Review: The Nemesis

I mentioned picking up a pair of "The Nemesis" pocket holsters by DeSantis at the gun show this past weekend:

J-frame (L), P3AT (R)

While I've only had the holsters a short while, I've had a pretty good chance to try them both out. They're identical in function, featuring a sticky exterior that remains firmly anchored in your pocket even under, well, less-than-optimal draws (I purposely try extracting the pistol by grabbing at the grip, tugging with two fingers, etc. to try to cover a variety of possible ways I might have to access my carry gun). The interior is non-marring and allows for a rapid draw from the holster. Material is firm and offers some shape-blending (i.e. for the J-frame there's not as distinct of a cylinder bulge).

I'll post a long-term update down the road apace, but as of right now I am very pleased with this purchase. I'd been using an $8 Uncle Mike's pocket holster for both guns, which worked, kinda, but was in need of upgrade. Time will ultimately tell, of course, but so far it looks like "The Nemesis" is a functional, reasonable choice of pocket holster. It won't break the bank, yet offers a lot more than just a way to keep lint out of the lockwork.

MArooned Seal of Approval is earned for this product.

That is all.

Hi Jay,
I picked up a Nemesis holster when I purchased my Ruger LCP. Since then that combo have been my constant companions when venturing out into the cold cruel world. Holster and pistol have served me well. I think you will find the same.

I've been using Nemisis holsters for a long time. Can't beat em, just buy a new one every two years and throw the old one away!

Another to look at would be the Mika pocket holster. I've had Mika, Nemesis and Uncle Mikes for my P3AT--The Mika is ugly but works quite well, the Nemesis looks better, works almost as well. The Uncle Mike's is better than bare pocket carry, but nowhere near as good as a Nemesis or Mika.
