What holsters are your favorites?

[s0nspark]

Really hard to beat  a hybrid IWB IMHO.  Love my Supertuck.

The only reason I went with the Galco instead of the Supertuck was cost - I've bought so many holsters that didn't work for me that I am not optimistic about anything new anymore :-)

Appendix carry was a bust for me, at least for now... I bought many holsters (Comp-Tac 2 O'Clock, High Noon Public Secret and Mr. Softy, Blackhawk CQC, Fricke Archangel, CCC Shaggy and most recently RCS Vanguard and Vanguard 2) but just couldn't get to a point where I could conceal well enough. The only ones I've held onto are the Vanguards... they were the most minimal.

Given how I must dress I just do better right now carrying behind the hip. I really hope the hybrid thing works out. Ok, I guess I am slightly optimistic after all :-)

I carry about 4:00, so just barely around the turn of the hip.

If you want a deal, check out crossbreed's seconds website.

That's a great link SB, especially for  someone looking  for a deal on a Crossbreed.  Not like other manufactuers with just a handful of seconds, but a ton!  And quite a selection too.

A friend turned be onto the site after I purchased my first Crossbreed about a year ago.  I just ordered from there.

For those who may want to use them, when you click "buy" it reserves the holster for 10 days and you get an invoice to print.  You have to mail them money within those 10 days with a copy of the invoice.  They won't do credit cards or paypal at the prices on the seconds site.

I will post pics when it gets here.

For my G20 with 5.15" extended barrel, I use a Bianchi military issue flap holster for the M9.  Fits perfect and is great for range or woods.

Woods:  The Blackhawk chest holster allows you to walk for long periods with the gun supported from your shoulders.  It can be positioned at different places on the chest and at different angles for personal preference.  It also has a holder for and extra magazine right next to the gun.  The holster protects the trigger from accidental engagement and a strap and quick release buckle hold the weapon snug.  I use it frequently in Alaska for hiking and fishing when wearing waders.

Conceal:  The Blackhawk Serpa.  Attachment for belt or pancake.  Holds it tightly.  Fast draw.  Rugged.

This.

I've grown very fond of the Serpa + QD system.  It works very well for all but printed conceal.  Maximum positive retention (with adjustable passive retention), fastest natural draw, versatile, rugged, infinitely adjustable, safe.  The QD system adds convenient, secure holstering, anywhere (person, place, vehicle).  I prefer flat black (blends with Glock), but other colors and textures are available for most common frames.  Mid-range expense, but well worth the quality.  There are only 2 drawbacks that I've found:  It is a rigid system; and off-hand draw requires a lot of practice.

Here is a rig I made last night for my Longslide.

Don hume or Mtac for everyday carry, D. Nemesis for pocket carry, and drop leg holster for woods carry...

The King Tuk was a bust for me - it didn't conceal very well where I wanted to place it and I about had to dislocate my shoulder to get the thing on ;-) I did get a nice kydex OWB for my G20 + X300 from Vigilance Tactical that I will use for woods carry.

For concealed carry I have gone back to using the Vanguard 2 in the appendix position. I find my G20 is noticeably more comfortable to carry this way but it can be harder to conceal without a cover garment. Maybe I need to have someone cut down the grip on one of my G20s to accept G29 mags and dub it a G29L :-)

After more extended use my quibbles with the Vanguard 2 are small. Sometimes the muzzle will dig into my thigh when I sit and I have to shift it over slightly. On occasion the front sight will snag on my pants on the draw, but that may be me turning the gun slightly before clearing my clothing... Also the Vanguard 2 is really not suitable for training due to the reholstering process. I'm currently using a Bladetech Nano for that.

My next holster will most likely be a Desbiens Gunleather AIWB #4 Hardcore RC or perhaps a kydex holster of similar design if I can find one. Then again I may just roll on with the Vanguard 2... I am happy enough right now just having something that is working!

BIANCHI all the way...

There are a couple others where I like a model or two. for example Double Diamond Chest Holster...



One of my long time favorites. This one has been with me for almost 25 years, I carried my Commander in it daily for almost 6 years..





MY singular complaint is they where never offered in BLK.

But picking just one, its gotta be Bianchi and then, older lined models!

Here is a cross draw.

A little leather die and some polish and that holster would be BLK and would look NEW.

I hate to admit this but my cheap leather Tagau Holsters all 3 left handed thumb break are what my Glocks ride in. For the 35.00 each I gave for them I feel like I stole them. They are custom fit,easily concealable if you want especially the on for the model 29.I just wear them on my belt with a shirt or jacket. I carry all the time for pleasure and work and I am sure there are many better but these are so comfortable its going to be hard foe me to change. I would like to have a shoulder holster that would go under a sport coat. I am 5 8 about 170. Anybody with any ideas. Small so hard to completely hide under a sport jacket or business suit.

Carry my Sig 238 in a kusiak holster for deep concealment or my high noon for combat grip. Tried kydex but always fall back on my leathers.
