G-Code Phenom Review

[@pjp7259]

This is exactly the information I needed, couldn’t find the difference between the stealth and commando to save my life until this video, thank you!!

Glad I could help. I was in the same boat lol

Love my G-Codes. Awesome review, I really wanted to know about the carry claw.

[@360TacticalSolutions]

GCode makes incredible products. I use all their mag pouches and attachment parts for my battle belt. I use a KORE belt but all GCode hardware

[@tombreit6482]

@360TacticalSolutions I have just starting using KORE belts for my everyday wear, casual & formal, and really like them. My range belt and battle belt are some Molle belts that I found on line and have done a nice job for me.

[@BanditApache-nd6lu]

This was a great review. I am definitely going to try this company. The one thing I hate is when grown men whine about ruining the finish in their carry gun! First of all, it is not a Corvette. Second of all, if your carry gun is between $400 and $1000 then it shouldn’t matter about the finish. It is a carry gun, a tool, that’s it! Battled scars are a part of concealed carry. The best you can do is, wipe it down before holstering and then once you are home and unholster it wipe it down again. Just carry what you want and if it gets that bad, have it cerakote did to look brand new again! Thanks for the comparisons.

[@360TacticalSolutions]

I totally agree. I beat the shit out of my carry guns but I also have safe queens that are in that $3k range...those ones im careful with lol.

The long attachment (I assume) is for an FBI cant. Try that & see. I carry canted & most aren’t long enough to reach my belt. Would be cool if you’d try it & see. BTW, I’m a HUGE fan. My Hellcat Pro is on the way & your discount promo-code still worked for my new trigger! Keep it up!

That would be interesting to test. I ended up giving away the holster that had the adjustable claw though. I had to thin the collection a little bit. You may be right though

[@djorig]

Just got my Phenom Stealth in today. It’s a solid build. My previous holster was a mckinatec. Also a great holster, but the wing on the mckinatec has slowly bent in. It no longer pushes my grip to my body. The stealth aluminum wing looks like it’s not going to bend. But, we will see.

[@ttattx]

the only thing I don't like about TORX is when they're too small. Standard on folding knives should be t10 - but most are t6, and they strip way too easy. 10 and up are solid, esp. if you have a good bit would you prefer star? or philips? you no torx, you yes ??

[@360TacticalSolutions]

My day job is somewhat in the auto industry and there are just so many issues with torx. Ive actually come to really prefer a square drive screw over anything else. Not exactly applicable in this conversation but I find the square drive to be the most reliable and least likely to strip out

I reached out to them to see if they made a holster that could accommodate a holosun 407k green dot and a compensator. I sent them pics and am waiting to hear back from them. Would love to send you pictures of my setup. Green dot is on order so haven't attached it yet, but it's going to be BEAUTIFUL! 👏❣️

[@360TacticalSolutions]

Well the Holosun won't be an issue as far as this holster goes and for the comp...it should work with the only exception being that the comp will push past the end of the holster. That is of course as long as the comp isn't bigger than the slide of the Hellcat Pro. If the comp is bigger there will be an issue that can't really be gotten around. I think G-Code uses a CNC set up to cut all their holsters and the holsters are made on pre set molds. Keep me updated and let me know how it goes

[@mongop177]

[@imchrisgaines]

Does this work with the gas pedal

[@360TacticalSolutions]

Not even remotely close. I use a McKinatec Talon holster and in the drop down menu for rail adapters I chose "tactical pro ledge" which gives room for the gas pedal. Heating up this G-Code Phenom to reshape it so it works with the gas pedal would most likely lead to losing retention. If it were a light bearing holster I would probably try it but this one isn't

[@walkerwilliams3447]

How do you like the G-code vs your McKenna Tech .. I think I spelled that right

[@360TacticalSolutions]

They are neck and neck. If I had to pick one id probably say the Mckinatec. GCode is slightly higher quality but the belt clip requires a lot to adjust its angle. The McKinatec belt clip is much easier to adjust and has more range of adjustment whereas the GCode has only 3 static slots for cant adjustment. That to me is a big deal. I like to have fine adjustment in where and how my holster rides in my pants. Also the GCode has no ride height adjustment so that is a definite disadvantage.

[@360TacticalSolutions]

@@AverageGunPerson I cut a real thin yoga block wedge just to add some cushion more than I did to really wedge it. For me it was like a hotspot I had to deal with. As far as usage id say I probably wear it 50% of the time I use my HCP. I find I don't draw quite as fast with it though so I back off the retention screw quite a bit. The fuzz adds friction which helps hold the gun in place so you won't need as tight a retention screw

Nice review. I had never heard of them before, but I'll go take a look. Have you reviewed the Total Eclipse 2.0 from Blade Tech for the Hellcat Pro? I'm in search of a good OWB holster for my HCP. I'm interested in the Total Eclipse mainly because it's 1. Ambidextrous, and 2. can be an IWB or OWB. Would be interested in hearing your thoughts on it.

[@360TacticalSolutions]

I havent looked at that one specifically but I have looked at some that are similar. I find that when a holster is Ambi it tends to be a little more bulky than a single sided, at the same time holsters that are both IWB and OWB also tend to be a bit more bulky. In concept it seems a decent enough idea but I would be cautious of comfort

[@AricWilisch]

@@360TacticalSolutions do you have a recommendation for an OWB holster? I've looked at several and none of them really blow my kilt up so to speak. I feel like holster manufacturers have an unwritten agreement that none of them can develop the perfect holster.

[@360TacticalSolutions]

@@AricWilisch my favorite for OWB for actual carry use and not use in a battle belt is the Syncron from GCode www.tacticalholsters.com/product/syncron-owb/ The important part is its bridge mounting system. It sits high and tight and with a bit of a forward cant so it can actually be concealed quite well. My only issue is they don’t have it yet for the HCP with a light. You can get one for the HCP just no light

[@fr3shpr1nce718]

Been looking for a quality holster for my hellcat pro and once I watched this video I was sold! BUT I'm running a TLR7 sub on my pro, they don't accommodate weapon lights ?!, it would be heart breaking if they don't.

My second choice would be the McKinatec Talon holster Best Hellcat Pro Holster kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2XTq4mdmrajopo Best value in the business. Well worth the wait times.

[@CosmicProtectorBear]

What’s your favorite G code variation of those three? Do you like those better than the McKenatec holster? Also why don’t you use a light with you HCP?

[@360TacticalSolutions]

All good questions. I prefer the stealth out of the three phenom holsters. I like the material inside the holster. It’s held up really well and gives a whole different feeling when you put your gun in it. I don’t know that these can really be compared to the McKinatec. Hands down McKinatec is the best value there is. Those phenom holsters don’t have any real customization to them, there’s no option to even add a light. I’ve been carrying the Phenom full time trying to see what it takes to wear out the fuzz material. No luck yet. McKinatec is still my brand of choice. As far as lights go, I’ve been really undecided for the HCP. I wasn’t worried about it because for quite a while I had been testing the Phenom. Now that I’m nearly done evaluating the phenom I do need to decide on a light and order a light bearing holster from McKinatec. Sometimes it’s just tough because I have to make certain carry choices depending on the products I’m reviewing. I’ve been stuck carrying a handheld light in my pocket during this period lol

[@CosmicProtectorBear]

Yes. They only make kydex holsters

[@jesserowlett8058]

what is the purpose of the moclaw?

[@360TacticalSolutions]

Basically all Concealment claws work on the same principal. Your belt presses on the claw which helps press the grip of your gun into your body. Using some kind of claw drastically increases concealment

[@TElectrik]

[@krich106]

Would you say the newer belt clip still pushes holster against your body? The new belt clip seems very flush. While the old belt clip had a heavy angle to force the holster against you.

[@360TacticalSolutions]

Im going to be honest here...Im not sure what you are talking about with new vs old belt clips. This video is like a year old and a quick search of their site it looks like the belt clip they are using isn't any different from what I have on mine. New vs old...no idea, no point of reference to even be able to give an opinion. In generalized terms, sure a heavy outward angle on a belt clip can affect how your holster sits against your body but I think the design of the claw has more end use results than the belt clip. Honestly I like to add a couple of spacers behind my concealment claws and use longer screws so the claw is raised up off the holster a bit and I find that makes a major difference in leverage and how much the grip gets pushed toward the body. Regardless of the clip thats used, your belt is only letting that holster get so far away from your body

[@krich106]

@@360TacticalSolutions Clip on their eclipse is what they use to use on all their holster. It forces the holster against your body. But g code told me the new one still does it, so I ordered it anyway. Guess I'll find out. Being my 6th holster from them, I hope they told the truth!

[@360TacticalSolutions]

Before drilling the holster and modifying it did you contact them about the fitment? I’m actually using the Phenom today and my HCP fits great. I mean when it came in the mail it was pretty tight…till I backed off the retention screw a couple turns. Hell I have all 3 models of Phenom for the HCP, one for my M&P and another for a 2011 and they all fit extraordinarily well. I’m curious what GCode said to you about how the pistol fit the holster

[@360TacticalSolutions]

@@alexisramos9064 excellent timing lol. As far as concealment goes I think the Phenom is great. Their standard Moclaw is the way to go if you ask me. It puts enough pressure on the belt to help turn the grip of the gun into the body while still giving you access to get that perfect grip when you draw. One thing about the Hellcat Pro is because it's a shorter barrel/shorter holster the muzzle end does want to press into you a little bit. Im considering ordering a wedge kit from Phlster to alleviate this issue. It's not the typical wedge most people use where it's a block of foam thats hacked down to size. Theirs is a multipart velcro attached system that has different size and shape pieces to get the best fit. The holster doesn't totally need it but I feel like it can boost the comfort when carrying all day.
