The ASOB (Almost Small of the Back) holster was designed by military and law enforcement special operations veterans to suit our unique needs. We wanted a holster that would provide deeper concealment without the hazards of placing a gun over the spine. We wanted a belt holster that was comfortable, durable and would retain the gun no matter the conditions. We wanted a holster that rode close enough that concealment was easy, even in simple cover garments. We wanted a holster that was fast and suitable for everyday carry and training. Like everyone else we have boxes full of holsters that are great for one or two things but lacked in other areas. All Advanced Performance Shooting Holsters are individually engraved Make, Model, and date of manufacture, as well as the builder’s signature to ensure authenticity. If you are looking for the best, then look no further. At Advanced Performance Shooting, we are extremely proud to provide our customers with a truly superior product, backed up by our lifetime warranty. WARNING: Should NOT be worn directly over the spine. Images may not depict the particular firearm that is listed. Warranty does not cover other than intended use. Holsters are not designed to fit pistols with red dot optics. Please contact us to discuss options.

great fir for me and my glock 30S
bought a almost small of back holster for my glock 30S that I had just purchased as all the other style of holsters I had bought just didn't fit my love handles and were always digging me. I wanted to carry my pistol on the small of my back and could not find the type of holster I needed. I rerall wanted a holster to carry my side are at the 430 to 500 position and stumbled across this and had a $25 amazon gift card so what the hell I bought it. Well it came and fit the 30S just perfect like kydex and even better it fit me just perfect. Its just where I want it and I can sit and don't even feel it at all. Just love it!!! last night I ordered a holster for my glock 26 and S&W 9mm shield. If they are any thing like the holster for my 30S they will be great..I'll let you know next week when they come in. 10-02-15 my holsters came in for my S&W shield and glock 26.. both fit my pistols great and just like the holster I bought for my glock 30s 3 weeks ago they fit me great. The holster have great retention and the pistols snap right in. For me these 3 are great holsters. Eric Horn

Close up to my body with great gun retention
This is not a shorts and T-shirt type of holster. But that's ok, because I am NOT a shorts and T-shirt kinda guy. That being said....it puts my G19 exactly where I want it. Close up to my body with great gun retention. As has been said, you do need to wear a REAL belt to make this holster works as designed. As with any SOB holster, the draw angle is different, but nothing that can't be mastered with a few days of practice.I have a regime for every new piece of kit that I expect to carry. I will carry/wear it all day, every day, for as long as it takes to determine that it either will not perform as I wish or it becomes an extension of my body. This holster is the later......it has become my favorite EDC holster.

Great Holsters, Comfortable and Secure
I like having them offset from the small of my back. I have one for my G30 Gen4 and one for my Remington 1911 R1 Commander. Both are comfortable for all day, every day wear. The 1911's handle is longer than the G30, so I do feel the 1911 more because it is higher on the side of my back. The G30 fits its holster right out of the box like a well worn glove. It is easy to put in and pull out of the holster, but it stays in the holster regardless of what I'm doing. The 1911 is really tight and a little difficult to get in and out of the holster. There is no chance the 1911 is going to fall out of the holster. I am hoping it will loosen up a little with continuous use. It has been a few weeks and I can't tell if it has loosened up or I've gotten stronger pulling it out of the holster . With that said, both holsters are great for my purpose and I will keep purchasing them.

Faster than expected, great holster. Solid, with smooth draw. Sturdy build and holds securely.
(Glock 43) Great holster. Solidly built, and not too hard to draw. Those on here who had issues obviously don't carry or have other issues that are not "holster related". I am full time, career LE (18+ years) and this is not a shill review. Never dealt with the company before, but will again. Feels comfy at the right place to actually wear it. Glad to have a 9 on my hip rather than my .380 LCP in my pocket. Fast ship, about 100 days ahead of schedule and was just made (dated on the holster 1/4/16) Would definitely recommend and will buy a second for my M&P pro and Glock 19. I checked the hold with the "shake test" and it held solid, but still was easy to draw.

Extremely satisfied customer
I've never written a product review before but I can't get over how happy I am that I ordered this holster. First off, I ordered it shortly before thanksgiving and didn't expect to receive it for at least two to three weeks as it's made to order and with shipping delays over the holidays. I ordered it on the 11th and received it on the 19th so I was already pleasantly surprised. The quality of the holster is phenomenal. It fits like a glove, easy to draw but somehow has equally perfect retention. As the pictures show it conceals very well under a t-shirt I should have stopped wearing about fifteen pounds ago. If you're trying to choose between this holster and any other, just stop. This one's better. Now that I've seen the quality, comfort, overall fit, and exceptionally fast production/shipping, I would have happily paid twice as much if Advanced Performance Shooting had asked for it.

Very comfortable and out of the way.
I got this holster for my CZ 75 compact. The fit is perfect. It's a bit "difficult" to fully insert the gun into the holster. What I mean by "difficult" is that due to the cant, you will need to hold the holster with one hand and pretty much "shove" the gun into place with the other hand. Once you hear the gun "click" into place, you will know that the gun is now secure and won't go anywhere. The gun will not draw easily, which is a good thing. It is a very tight fit. YOU and ONLY YOU will want to be able to pull the gun out if/when you need it. You will need to draw the gun with authority. With practice, this will not be a problem at all. Be sure to have a good ccw belt that fits snug and proper. If not, the rig will tend to pull your pants down, especially with an all steel weapon. Although this is an OWB holster, concealment is not a problem at all. With an untucked shirt or jacket over the rig, you wouldn't ever know its there. Plus, you don't have that annoying feeling of something digging into your side. I HIGHLY recommend this holster, especially for the "bigger" guys like myself.

Best concealment holster I've found
This holster is what I've been looking for for a long time. Concealing a Glock 20 is a bit of a challenge, but this holster holds the firearm snug against your body significantly decreasing the ability to see the profile through even an untucked t-shirt. There are those that will criticize the position as not as expedient from which to draw, but I have found it to be very easy to access and draw from quickly. Come winter, this thing will be impossible to see. As a result of the position, the weight of the firearm is pretty evenly distributed across the front of your belt, and if you carry a full-sized handgun all day, this fact makes a significant difference. In short, I love it. Try it. You'll like it.
