Holsters, OWB and others. What do you like.

In the market for a holster, inside- outside the waist band. What do you like? What do you hate?

Being an older fat-ish guy, I have to wear larger waist size for IWB and it wasn't as comfortable. Strictly an OWB carry now. Have been running this one for the last few months and love it. I have other OWB holsters, this is my go to.  My  EDC is a
full size S&W, M&P 9.  YMMV

Versacarry OWB, it kept popping up on my Facebook feed, looked like it would work for me so ordered.  If it works well on my side, I might order a lefty for the small of my back.  :dunno:

I've been looking at the one that goes inside your pants and you pull the tab up to access the firearm. I can't remember the brand name now.

I have been buying a lot of alien gear holsters lately. They have a good sale for tax time going on right now.

My favorite inside the waist holder is one made by N82 it has enough material on the back side so the grip is not touching my skin. It is  Very comfortable.

For IWB
Galco King-Tuk - Most comfortable - most used
Milt Sparks Versa Max II - comfortable and a work of art
Crossbreed - comfortable - also are good for mounting under tables, behind headboards, and in vehicles
Galco Southern Comfort II - good for appendix carry and for some reason when wearing shorts, lol
Desantis Thumb brake Mad Max - comfortable

Someone should open a Holster store, where you can go in and try on all the various holters.
I have a drawer full of holsters, both OWB and IWB. Sad part I had to buy them before I knew if they fit me and how I would use them.

One thing I have found is I do not care for the neoprene or fabric type against my skin.
But some people love theirs so don't just take my word on it, find out what works with how you carry. You will probably need more than one.
