For comfort, Galco KingTuk, (my daily wear)
This is the most comfortable IWB holster I have had and I have had allot of IWB holsters.
For stylin, Milt Sparks Versa Max II (my stepinout or going to Sunday meetings with class, LOL)
Some people prefer a cloth or neoprene back against the skin. I prefer smooth sided leather. It just holds up better.
I have many holsters, those two are my favorites.
I use a Galco Southern Comfort II occasionally. My Crossbreed is now mounted to the back of my headboard (clips broke) Good holster, very comfortable, the Galco King Tuk is substantially better quality.
Desantis Top Cop (paddle) is nice. I have a few pancakes models that conceal well for OWB for days you don't want to go IWB.
A couple low profile Kydex will conceal well for OWB.
I have not tried an Alien gear yet. They look like good quality though.

luv my Galco tuck for the .45 Springfield. I also have an Alien Gear for my 9mm Ruger. Cheaper materials but's it's comfortable. I do have to tighten up the screws often.

I really like this one -- carries my G19 very well. Light weight, good fit, comfortable, inexpensive.

The Alien Gear 3.0, I carry my Sig 229 or Kimber Pro Carry in them. Very comfortable and secure.

I have the Galco Summer Comfort and whatever they call their iwb that can have a dress shirt tucked in over it. Pretty ingenious design actually. I do OWB now and hardly ever go IWB.
Looking back I wonder if I was ever fooling anyone with a button down dress shirt tucked into my slacks and that conspicuous bulge on the right side of my waist bumbling around the halls of the CPA firms. I never got fired for it so I guess so.
I've since moved to a constitutional carry state and have largely moved to OWB. I don't find open carry tactically advantageous but I feel much freer to do so here... A "safe zone."

BC I dont think many people can "Print" carry guns... Most are sheeple. When talking with friends on the issue its mostly LEO's and people that pack that can spot a fellow packer. I find it pretty easy to spot auto's with the exceptions of the subcompact size, and the snub nosed variety. I think you will find that most people lack situational awareness.

Lol "takes one to know one."
Tend to agree. Most people carry on like a deer in the headlights and it's sad because I think situational awareness, as you put it, is often a more important tool to survive a critical incident than a firearm itself.

I am leaning towards outside paddle carry holster. I am a legal carry guy so if cops spot me I am OK with that.

It can hide my full size 1911 well enough that my wife has a hard time knowing when I have it on. I'm not a terribly big guy either, so that says a lot.

I use a di-Santis paddle often with a tee shirt over it. No one seems to ever notice.
When working in the yard I use a Blackhawk serpa ii paddle. Not the most concealable holster I own, but tuff, and comfortable. I can't count how many times I have needed something at the store and just covered it with a tee shirt for a run to lowes or Home Depot.
I rarely think about it unless going out to dinner or a movie.
Then I conceal with one of the IWBs.
