Post by: Zardoz on April 03, 2020, 12:55:39 PM: 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:

Post by: Hilltop123 on April 03, 2020, 04:04:22 PM: Lots of options, lots of researching.

Post by: RockChuck on April 03, 2020, 04:04:48 PM: 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.

Post by: Alchase on April 03, 2020, 04:32:29 PM: 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.

Post by: Hillbilly Zen on April 03, 2020, 05:01:42 PM: I hate concealed carry holsters. All of them. I have a drawer full and they are all compromises. Mouse gun in a pocket holster for me when concealment is required and legal. All other times right out in the open where it’s easy to get to: mid level drop leg style holster with a backpack or kenai chest rig. If hiking without a rifle 9/10 times it will be the blackhawk drop leg. Its nice because it will fit anything from a glock 10mm to a long slide 1911 or .22 auto and it doesnt hang real low. It’s just below the backpack belt line and doesnt look too much like i’m trying to be a tactical woods wizard. It has a fold over top secured with a buckle for when it’s really nasty out or you can wear it top open and have sidearm still held positively by a snap but easily removed with one hand in a normal drawing motion. It’s still very military looking however, and wont pass as grandpas harmless .22 revolver 6 shooter holster if that’s a concern. Depending on what you are trying to holster, i may have a concealed carry holster collecting dust in a box you could test drive. Pm if ya like.

They are out of Idaho . Check em out .
