Silent Thunder IWB "Guardian"
 
Alternative Views:
The Silent Thunder Guardian (IWB) is suitable for semi-auto firearms only (see Silent Thunder Warrior for IWB Revolvers) and is a concealable and tuckable inside the waist holster for a smooth draw and firearm protection for your semi-auto. Permanently lined with quality domestic leather** for a rapid, even draw and available in many Colors. The ST Guardian is our number one selling holster. We follow one simple formula, the smaller the package, the more comfortable the ride. All of our leather lined full kydex IWB holster designs follow this rule, allowing for maximum comfort, easy one-handed reholstering, ultimate in deep concealability, and stability. Our Enhanced Nylon Clip/Clip Adapter-Centerline (comes standard with the Holster) is available in 1.5" and 1.75" belt sizes and up to a triple-layer nylon web belt.

Garrett has been searching for a clip that complements our holsters for many years. We have researched/purchased countless third party clips, never finding one that offers our bolt pattern or the amount of cant we think is essential for properly carrying a firearm. We are pleased to announce the addition of our newly designed and tested clip adapter. This adapter, along with a Nylon-66 Clip that we have modified, is the answer. The Centerline Mounting Clip has 25 degrees of forward and backward cant and can be raised 1/2" to lower the ride. Centerline Mounting is only suitable for the Silent Thunder Guardian Holster currently built as well as all iterations since 2007. The Enhanced Nylon Clip with Clip Adapter is available in belt sizes 1 1/2" and 1 3/4". Another plus is that the clip portion can be purchased separately if you change belt sizes.

Description
 
The Silent Thunder Guardian is a standard mid-ride height. This IWB holster can be worn anywhere on the belt but is best suited for just in front or just behind the hip for optimal concealment and comfort. The ST Guardian comes standard with our new Enhanced Nylon Clip/Adapter (Centerline). The clip can be raised or lowered to change ride height.

**All Silent Thunder Holsters are leather lined with quality domestic veg tanned leather from Wickett & Craig. Founded in 1867, Wickett & Craig is a premiere vegetable tannery located in Pennsylvania. Veg-tanning is a natural, eco-friendly process that produces durable, exquisite leathers recognized for their depth of color and rich patina. Wickett & Craig leathers not only endure, but get better with age. We do not use imported or chromium leather.

5 of 5 My second Guardian October 4, 2024
Reviewer: Scott F.  
I thought it is about time that I review my Guardian holster. I don't like to give my reviews until I've spent time with a product. I figure five years of carrying everyday with my first Guardian is long enough.
For five years I carried my Ruger 10mm SR1911 in this holster. Comforting and Comfortable about sums it up. I carry behind the hip and this holster is well suited for that position.
Not only is my double layer leather belt wide (1-3/4"), but it is thick also. The standard clip has never failed me. With that clip the holster is easy on/easy off. I've never felt that the clip was flexing beyond its capability.
So, my second Guardian arrived today. Fit and finish is without flaw. I specified that i wanted the standard clip on this holster also. My Girsan MCP35 Match rides just like my SR1911 does on my belt. It's nice to have the same Comfort and Comfortable fit to which I have grown accustomed.

5 of 5 Perfect for P365 TACOPS July 10, 2024
Reviewer: Jeff from Florida  
I have a P365 X-Macro TACOPs that I carry appendix style and this holster works perfectly for me.  I have purchased multiple Silent Thunder holsters over the years and this one, like those, fits the pistol perfectly and securely clips to my 1 1/2" ARES gun belt.  I cannot recommend this holster enough, if you buy one, I seriously doubt that you will be disappointed with your purchase.  Note, Garrett Industries delivered the holster to me within the lead time that they quoted on their website.

2 of 5 Fantastic holster body with a flimsy clip November 18, 2023
Reviewer: Andy from Tennessee  
Holster itself is great.  The leather lined kydex is a great concept that works well.  The belt clip is very cheap and flexible.  Another review called it “3D printed” and that’s exactly what it feels like.  For a $90 holster, it needs a much better way to attach to the belt.  Holster body is a 5/5, but 0/5 on the clip.

5 of 5 Amazing build quality. July 29, 2023
Reviewer: Ray from Southern California  
The attention to detail for my Springfield EMP 3" was insane. Garrett really fits the kydex around all small features like the slide lock, a subtle bend on the sweat shield for the safety switch and beaver tail, down to matching the sweat shield to perfectly shadow the rear sights. The fit is perfect. I got the leather look kydex and natural leather liner. It's beautiful. Zero gripes and extremely comfortable, transparent unless you think of it being affixed to your waistline. I could kot be happier with it, as far as looks, quality, detailing, etc.

However, there's always a gripe. It's minor and could be user error. But during unholster/reholster drills, I once drew the firearm along with the holster. I have a Kore tactical belt and somehow it was able to defeat the thickness of said belt. Again, could be user error, only occured once out of many drills.

Overall, I'd definitely recommend these holsters hands down.

3 of 5 Silent Thunder August 26, 2021
Reviewer: A L from Oregon  
Shipped with a very poorly 3d-printed clip that should have been rejected. Not what I was expecting from this company. Holster seems fine.
