I also have a belt holster but it moves around to much and does not stay close enough to my body for concealing. I like the paddle holster the best. I also have a leather paddle holster which cost me about $65 bucks at a gunshow but I still like the cheaper Fobus paddle holster the best.

Belt holsters are naturaly better in that more secure on the belt and the sidearm is held closer to the body....better concealment.

I have and use both. My paddle get the most wear around the house and quick trips in town. When I need/want to carry for an extended period of time.....and need better concealment.....I go with an IWB or leather belt holster.
