Purchased this holster for my P99cQA 9mm and it works great even though my barrel is 3.5 inches. When I first received it, I placed my gun in the holster as soon as I pulled it out of the box. I couldn''t separate the gun from the holster unless I pulled way too hard for any human to have to! The holster is designed to pulled up at an angle that is perfect and natural while WEARING the holster keeping others from snatching it away. Once I put the holster on, the pistol came right out with an appropriate amount of resistence. Excellent! Thanks, Peter

Works as one would expect. Locks positively to my belt and allows for a smooth draw on the firearm.
