I prefer a holster where the muzzle of the gun clears the holster about the top of the belt. Sparks I-BAK, and the Brommeland Def_Con are such holsters. High ride holsters take about another inch to clear.

I agree that the high ride holsters make it more difficult for the gun to be held close to the body, but with a good belt, and tight that can be done.

My other objection to the high ride is the amount of shoulder "lift" necessary to draw the gun. As we get older we do not have the flexibility we once did.

I have not found that the low ride holsters I mentioned are difficult to conceal. I normally wear a shirt with the tail outside the pants. On Sunday I wear a coat.

Rusty Sherrick's, holsters look great, but I have not used one.

Regards,
Jerry
