Excellent strap for the money. I shoot A LOT and use this with a good pair of sturdy pants and I can pull the holster out very quickly and smoothly. I like using this better than the bottom and top strap combo as it's lighter and requires less work to put on and take off. It's just wide enough NOT to fit through the belt loops of many of your casual pants and jeans, but fits like a dream for a pair of premium "tactical/long range" pants.
