Kev Reeves : Slide Guard Review


	CZ Forum Nov 2007 http://www.angelfire.com/amiga/hakan/CZRAMISlideGuard.html

		For those of us in the gun community, High Noon Holsters has become well known for providing a quality product at a good price and without a long waiting period as usually found with custom leather goods. Nowdays, the brand has become even more popular for shooters who want excellent gear, so they are staying quite busy down in Florida. My last review of a holster from HIGH NOON was last year when I obtained the UNDER ARMOR shoulder rig. This was made out of the synthetic laminate material High Noon uses in their new line of (In Stock) OWB belt holsters and IWB holsters and Second Skin belts. The shoulder rig is both economical and durable. A real bargain for the price! A short while ago I requested a 2075 RAMI Slide Guard OWB holster . The resulting product arrived after a short wait, and I soon set forth to put the holster to a two week test. A quick note: With over 8 years of ownership of CZF www.czforum.com and being able to see the trends of the CZ buying public thru the past years and different seasons, 2007 has been the most active for CZ pistol. The P-01 and RAMI models being very popular in the spring and summer months, with no end in sight as winter approaches in most parts of the country. Interest/sales also remain high with the new RAMI P (polymer frame ) model as well. The good folks at High Noon offer holsters for the CZ models as mentioned, along with the complete line of CZ pistols.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: The Holster arrived in a small cardboard box and clear plastic envelope marked STYLE-SLIDE GUARD, FITS- CZ 2075 RAMI. Upon my first look at the holster I could see that it was the color of the Harvest Moons that we have been experiencing of late. A cheerful tan-orange color with a deep color yellow thread. A color that matched the cowboy belt that I was wearing at the time. I normally wear a 1 3/4 inch belt in the cooler months and the Slide Guard fit very nicely. Looking closer, I noticed the piece of leather that rises fully up the rear of the holster. This seems to act as a protective panel that shields your gun from your body. I like this feature as the safety lever or sharp slide isn't digging into my clothing.The tension screw adjusts to your desired level. The "Guard" doesn't slow your draw if you need the gun fast and does a great job of protecting you from the gun slide and hammer. Like other High Noon Holsters that I've reviewed in the past, this holster looks good and is made out of quality cowhide and strong stitching. Also, I must mention that the hand molding is excellent with this holster. The usual leather "Squeak" of a new holster on a belt was persistent for the first day, noticeable on the second, but seemed to be barely there on the third. This is quite normal as some amount of " break in" period can be expected from leather holsters. In keeping with the tradition of great products at a reasonable cost, and a crew that works hard to expedite your order, High Noon Holsters (www.HighNoonHolsters.com) continues to provide fantastic holsters and customer service for those of us in the CZ community, along with other shooters.

I can find no fault with this holster. I can recommend it to RAMI owners or to others that have an interest in obtaining a quality holster for other CZ models. Or any pistol or revolver, for that matter! After nearly 2 weeks on my side, my fears of the gun falling out of the holster in the middle of Wal-Mart or otherwise, seem unfounded. The holster does everything I need a holster to do and looks nice also. The fact that I don't have to worry about a thumbreak stretching or wearing out is also good. I'm ready to say goodbye to thumbreaks! The RAMI Slide Guard appears to be a real winner. So, be sure that you take a look at the updated HIGH NOON web site or my H.N. reviews at the CZ-ZONE.
