Why operators and everyday carriers choose this design
From stance drills to long shifts behind a desk, a holster must be comfortable and sit consistently on the belt. The PRO STEALTH was engineered with premium padded ballistic nylon (the N87 construction) to give a balance of soft contact against the body while maintaining a stout exterior for the gun and spare magazine. That padded carrier keeps your pistol from sagging and reduces imprint when worn inside the waistband or just inside the cover garment.
Materials and build: padded ballistic nylon (N87)
The N87 is made of premium padded ballistic nylon, which resists abrasion and stands up to daily wear. That padding gives a comfortable interface for extended carry yet preserves the holster’s shape for consistent reholstering. Expect a fabric that breathes better than many leather or kydex alternatives while still providing a secure envelope for your firearm.
Retention, clip design, and ambidextrous options
Retention on the PRO STEALTH is passive and relies on form and tension from the padded body. The holster uses a 1 3/4″ sturdy powder coated black spring clip that anchors the holster to your belt; this clip is stout enough for strong retention while allowing quick on/off for cleaning or swapping. The clip may be removed and inserted on the opposite side to accommodate left-hand carry, and the holster itself is ambidextrous—practical for households with multiple users or for left-handed shooters who don’t want to compromise fit.
Features that matter in the field and at the range
For autoloading pistols the PRO STEALTH ships with a spare magazine pouch as a standard feature. That spare pouch integrates cleanly into the holster’s profile so you don’t add unnecessary bulk, and it positions the mag in an easy-to-index place for reloads during training or a defensive application. The combination of padded nylon, a reliable spring clip, and a built-in mag pouch makes this a versatile tool for concealed carry and range use.
Because this model comes in various fits and configurations, you can match the PRO STEALTH to compact, full-size, or duty-sized pistols depending on which model variant you select. The brand pedigree of Desantis Gunhide is notable—decades in holster manufacturing have yielded practical design choices that prioritize consistent placement and comfort.

Fit, compatibility, and sizing considerations
Fit is everything in concealed carry. The PRO STEALTH’s N87 construction is forgiving enough to accept slight dimensional differences across pistol models while remaining snug around the trigger guard and slide. If you own multiple pistols, consider the specific model variant that corresponds to your pistol’s make and model; Desantis offers different cuts and sizes under the PRO STEALTH umbrella to optimize fit.
Left- or right-hand configuration
One simple but critical detail is the clip’s reversibility. The clip may be removed and inserted on the opposite side for left-hand carry. That means you can convert the same holster to suit a different draw hand without buying a separate left-hand model—handy for training, loaning, or shared use.
Price point and value
At a price of $40.49, the PRO STEALTH sits in an accessible segment for quality carry gear. You’re paying for durable N87 ballistic nylon, a powder-coated black spring clip, and the convenience of a built-in spare magazine pouch on autoloader models. For shooters who want a reliable, low-profile concealment option without breaking the bank, this model represents strong value.
Practical tips for carry and care
Break the holster in by wearing it at home for a few hours to let the padding conform to your beltline and body shape. Periodically check the spring clip for secure attachment, and if you swap the clip to the opposite side for left-hand carry, make sure the clip’s retaining screw and positioning maintain the same ride height. For cleaning, light soap and water will do—do not saturate the internal padding, and allow the holster to air dry.
Who should consider the PRO STEALTH?
If you want a no-nonsense concealed carry holster with padding for comfort, a robust powder-coated spring clip, and the option of a spare magazine pouch on autoloader variants, this holster is a solid choice. It’s particularly suitable for range regulars who want a comfortable inside-the-waistband option and for everyday carriers prioritizing consistent placement and low profile. The ambidextrous capability and reversible clip add flexibility for households or training environments with multiple users.
