(Note to gubmint busybodies, I bought this for myself out of my own pocket.)
My new Tucker Gunleather Silent Thunder Champion holster.
Not sure why it says Garrett Industries though ... anyway, as you can see it's a Kydex holster with a nicely boned cowhide lining.
I haven't had a chance to use this in a match yet, but I've probably already done 500 draws with it, and I really like it. For a holster that has enough tension to hold the gun in place upside down, the draw is unbelievably good. (I still might loosen it up for matches though.)

I swear I'm not pinching it. Honest.
I got the extra tall sight channel so as to eliminate any chance of
snagging with my target sights (on another of my guns, not the RIA
shown).

I can't say there's anything I dislike about it.
The draw is smooth, and fast.
The retention/tension is great, and adjustable.
It's quiet (thus the name), although I don't really care how loud my holster is.
The cant is adjustable and with just a hint of forward cant, it rides great and I can get a firing grip extremely fast.
I plan on using this for concealed carry as well, but some people would be better served with different mounting options so the bottom of the holster won't be visible. I dress pretty slovenly most of the time, and wear long shirts so it works for me. I know some people might see the exposed ejection port and think it can't be used on the street, but as you can see in the pics the retention is very good. I don't see an issue, and there's less to snag on if you need it.
