Post by: Huntbear on December 15, 2008, 07:57:15 PM: I have an Uncle Mikes Nylon for my Ruger Redhawk .44 mag. Love it for carrying in the field. Holds no water, and the cold or heat does not bother it.

I have leather paddle type holsters for all my concealed carry.

Post by: Slenk on December 16, 2008, 06:38:54 AM: When I had my Saddle Shop I had a lot of people come in with kydex, nylon hosters and them repaired, or had new leather ones made. If you buy a good quality leather holster it will last the rest of your life. I probably made 500 or so.

Uncle mikes nylon for the reasons listed above.
Cheap, low maintenance and reliable.

Leather Yaqui for competition.

Black Hawk Serpa no question.

I was looking at them the other day, I like the locking system it has. Are they comfortable?

Post by: Gutpile on February 01, 2009, 08:50:19 AM: I like leather. No reason other than the way it looks. I have a Bianchis for my CZ75 and Kimber and a Galco for my little sw642. I hate the plastic ones only because they're ugly. I do have a nylon Uncle Mike shoulder holster for my .44 and CZ but they suck. The little belt strap buttons tear out of the straps and they wont stay adjusted. I will never buy another Uncle Mikes product again.

For fishing with waders on or hunting a Galco schoulder harness rig. I use the HH4 half harness with a SH1 holster component for my SP101 357. Actually just bought it last nite.
