A good holster does not need to be named, nor does a bad one.

A good, true, CCW holster will:
Keep the gun secure by maintaining a pressure lock due to being modeled to the particular model of gun.
Stay in place and not shift throughout the day or with normal movement
Not require straps, breaks, levers, buttons, etc to retain the gun (extra effort slows your response and risks your life more)
Due to it being properly molded, it should remain open enough to re-holster without you sticking your fingers inside it.
Have the proper tilt (or cant) based on the location of carry. Your body's ergonomics and range of motion will dictate that.
Assist you in keeping the gun concealed.

Try that for starters.
