Superior Quality with Consistent Presentation
The Papillon's design and superior construction insure a consistent weapon presentation for a range of carry positions between 10- 12- 2 o'clock. Moreover, this Butterfly style offers GREATER COMFORT during activities (or when transitioning between standing and sitting) WITHOUT READJUSTING. Just like other T5 products, the superior craftsmanship of the Papillon enables it to fit my weapon with its attachments like a glove.
Excellent product
The best holster that I have owned! I was skeptical of the quality would be at first because I was ordering a very uncommon configuration of the papillon but my skepticism quickly turned to admiration after it arrived. The retention out of box was perfect and I did not have to mess around with the mag retention like I normally would with other brands. The fit itself was excellent and beyond comfortable during everyday activities and driving. I usually have issues with printing because I don’t typically wear heavy clothing but so far I have not had any noticeable printing with this setup! The papillon is a great product that I will absolutely come back for!
T5 Papillon
First impression is the outstanding quality in material and construction. The attention to detail makes the holster visually appealing; the craftsmanship is first rate. The fit and finish shows commitment to producing the finest product. The hinged design allows for a close, comfortable feel with the dual hooks distributing the weight evenly; the TacWare clips provide flexible positioning. The rention for gun and magazine is excellent. Without a doubt this is the finest holster I have owned; well worth the wait.
Quality product!
Received my papillon yesterday. Looks great and feels awesome. Picked mine up for my summer carry, a fnx-45 tactical with olight mini and rmr cut out. Yes it's a big gun but I'm a decent size at 6'2. Holster feels very natural on the body. Great finish on the holster. Gun fits like a glove. Great customer service from T5!! Pick one up if you're on the fence, you won't regret it.
T5 Flex!
If you're looking for a company that offers a flexible holster for just about any pistol that you can think of, T5 is where you want to go. My pistol isn't too common in the holster industry but Jerry came in clutch, and the holster is way better than I could have imagined. Fit and finish is great, it feels solid, sturdy yet not harsh. Huge shout-out to T5 Custom Kydex!
As expected, very comfortable!
I happened to noticed an instagram post with this papillon holster, and was immediately interested in the rubber connection between the magazine carrier and the holster. I had been wearing a kydex appendix holster for about 4 years now, without any issue or complaints, but the holster I had was a single piece of kydex. I figured this papillon model with the flexible connection would be, and should be, just that much more comfortable since it was obviously designed to form and shape to your body that much more.
It was well worth the 6 week wait! I absolutely love this holster, the positioning of the belt clips and the claw, helping the holster shape and form to my body. Another aspect of this holster I love is that the gun rides a bit higher than my last holster, allowing me to get a solid grip quicker and more smoothly. In fact, coincidently, I was about to head out the door to the range with my church security team when this holster arrived and I was able to take it to the range to start working it and "breaking it in!" Very smooth draw, solid lock when the gun goes back in, no issues when drawing the magazine during rapid tactical reloads, I love it!
Because it sits a bit higher, I have had to make minor adjustments to how I sit, stand and move, and currently I am aware of my shirts, but I am extremely confident that just like anything else in life and like when I first started using appendix holsters, once I get use to it and confident with it, I will stop "worrying" about my shirts and so on!
If you wear, like or are interested in an appendix IWB holster, I highly and strongly recommend this Papillon holster!
Amazing Holster! So good I had to make a Youtube Review video on it!
First off let me start by saying T5 you guys rock! Such an amazing product with such phenomenal craftsmanship! You guys delivered everything I wanted and more. My papillon is now my daily runner and the thing is just so flipping comfortable! Hahaha, literally this holster was so good I had to come out of youtube retirement to do it! Needless to say, It was a shinning review but man I'm so happy with this purchase! Thank you guys again! I WILL DEFINITELY! be ordering more!
Comfortable and practical
This holster is the most comfortable way I have found to carry a pistol and spare mag together. I have worn it when hiking and traversing through the woods and basically forgot I had it on. It also gets compliments whenever I take it off to transition to a belt rig, etc. T5 products are second to none.
