I am looking for new holsters. Ugh. What a fun adventure. :blink:

I am just curious what your everyday holster is? What holster do you go to and put on everyday because it is the most comfortable, most concealable, most bestest holster ever?

I have a Galco for my 1911...and holsters from Lobo Gunleather for all my Glocks and my Detective Specials.
Crossbreed supertuck for my Glocks when I go IWB.
I also use a Galco Miami for my 1911 shoulder rig, and a High Noon Under Armor shoulder rig for my Glocks.


"You can say 'stop' or 'alto' or use any other word you think will work but I've found that a large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty much the universal language."

If you are like most of us you will go through many holsters until you find the perfect one, right now I use a remora IWB almost all the time. While OWB is far more comfortable to wear I live in FLA and usually am wearing shorts and a tshirt or polo shirt and OWB just doesnt conceal well with those clothes. If I am somewhere where I can wear a covering garment I would carry OWB in a glock sport holster

For the 3" 1911: Crossbreed, CTAC, and MTAC IWB's, Galco Miami Classic II shoulder rig, Galco Avenger OWB, and Smartcarry, in that order.
For the Combat Commander: VMII.
For the R9: Desantis #2 Nemesis pocket holster.
All sturdy leather belts have Velcro sewn inside for use with IWB V clips.

I wish I HAD an "every day" holster. I am constantly rotating them in search of the "perfect" holster for my heavy 1911. My wife says I am as bad about holsters as she is with shoes and purses.

There isn't one though, and I can tell you my favorites are the Galco King Tuck (because it is very adjustable) and the Don Hume 721 OT (OWB). Both do a great job, are reasonably comfy, and hold the weapons well for under $60 each. A good belt is probably more important than a good holster IMO.

It depends what gun I choose that day.

For the P229 it's a Milt Sparks VMII


For the Glock 23 it's either a Galco Snap


Milt Sparks VMII


MTAC


and for my XD9SC it is either a CBST


or a Desantis Tuck This



All of them are well made and comfortable

I prefer Glocks the vast majority of the time for EDC and the High Noon Public Secret worn appendix is my holster of choice. :yup:

Handgun holster Belt Climbing harness Waist Gun accessory
High Noon Public Secret and G-23

If I do carry my Hi-Power then I use the "old school" Bianchi # 100

If the Ruger SP-101 is the carry for the day then it's a Side Guard Quick Clip

Jeans Denim Waist Clothing Handgun holster


Either Beltman or Cross Breed belts are use.

you guys have beautiful leather!
I must seem to be cheap because I use remoras that cost around $25 and on the range I use glock sport owb holsters that retail for $15 or a synthetic slide that cost me $10 at a show, they are all comfortable and work well for me.

Like many of the others, I also believe that holster-fit is a very individual-preference issue: the way the gun, the holster, and the person's body anatomy and chosen dress interacts is unique to each individual.

With that said, here's what I've found to fit me:

99% of the time, my carry-gun is my XDm9 3.8 Compact. 99% of that time, it's in a Pure Kustom Black Ops Pro, IWB on my strong side (3-o'clock). This is my most comfortable IWB with this gun, and I really only switch to either a Comp-Tac Minotaur MTAC (standard cant) or a CrossBreed SuperTuck when I have specific concealment concerns, which typically arise only if I step away from my usual jeans-and-an-un-tucked-T-shirt dress routine.

If I can't get the XDm's profile slim enough with the above, I'll switch down to my alternate, a Kahr PM9. 99% of the time when I'm carrying that pistol, it conceals more than well enough with my Garrett Silent Thunder Slim II. I can further suppress its profile if I moved towards using either a Desantis Nemesis or a D.M.Bullard pocket holster, but I try to keep from going this far, as it moves the pistol out of my most-trained-for access.

I really do try to keep my carry consistent - all of my IWB holsters are set up for approximately the same cant, same carry position. 99% of the time, if you patted me down, what comes out will be my XDm9 3.8 Compact.

I completed a one-day "intermediate" level pistolcraft course using my primary carry, holstered in the Pure Kustom (riding on a standard Beltman dual-layer bullhide belt), the rig was perfect, and came through the sweaty and hot day looking not the worse for wear. We also practiced one-handed malfunction drills in this class, and I repeatedly indexed this IWB holster as my hard-point for various functions: the holster never collapsed.
