Title: Holster discision
Post by: Alchase on January 17, 2013, 12:53:06 PM: OK I am conflicted, need help deciding on which OWB holster to get for casual concealment, meaning a shirt or light coat. I already have decent IWB holsters, and decent OWB (blackhawk Serpa) not necessarily the best for concealment
The conflicted part is whether to get a Kydex like a Raven, Kuban, etc...
or a nice leather holster.
I know eventually I will probably have both, but I would like one of the options now, just can't make up my mind. :bash:

What are your favorite OWB holster for casual attire, :dunno:
Think of it as "accessorizing" :rolleyes:
LOL

Post by: Biggerhammer on January 17, 2013, 05:06:08 PM: Kydex all the way!!! There are several quality Kydex holster makers out there. Here are some of the Kydex holsters I own.

Kydex is faster, sturdier and not affected by moisture like most leathers.

Raven Concealment. The handgun I'm carrying today :). Some people worry about the Kydex wear on a handgun as compared to leather when it comes to repeated holstering. My thought are, it's a carry gun. If you want a safe queen, don't carry it. I have no problem stuffing a 2K Clark Custom 1911 in Kydex.

Post by: Mossy on January 17, 2013, 09:52:29 PM: I'm a leather kinda guy so I don't have any experience with Kydex holsters. Look into simply rugged's cuda with the optional straps.
