The yankee marshal is the poorest reviewer on the net in my opinion.

He is the old "Playboy Penguin" from the Seecamp Forum years ago.  He quit posting on there and that did not hurt anyone's feelings.

Agreed. I thought that it was so poorly done that it is humorous.

Two observations:

1. That is not a "wallet holster," as the reviewer described the leather for his Seecamp. It is a full-counter-print panel holster of the type first designed by the late and legendary R. J. Hedley, and thereafter copied by many other holster makers. (R. J. called the design a "Back Pocket Holster," but it works well in any pocket. A rose by any other name . . . , etc.)

2. The reviewer's problem with alleged "visibility" of the R9 through the pocket opening when carried in a front-side pants pocket can easily be remedied by having a skilled seamstress or tailor  add an inch or two of depth to the pocket. I have that done for any pants I purchase with shallow side pockets. With the BDU trousers (Propper or True Spec) I usually wear, now that I am retired from the legal "rat race," there is no problem whatsoever.

Yes!  Don't blame the gun if your pockets are too shallow!   ;)

He needs one of my NY concealment caps on his holster.    But Richards deeper pockets are a much better idea.

Very poorly conducted "review/comparison"

I use a Recluse holster quite a bit, the R9 simply disappears
