+1 on the Andrews Monarch. I think the world of Lou Alessi and his CQC-S is one of my favorite holsters. But, I owned one of his Bodyguards and IMHO the Monarch is superior.

The Bodyguard is thinner and has the pull-through snap. It's an excellent holster. I found the Monarch adjusted to my body better and was much more comfortable. You can't go wrong with either.

Talking Sam Andrews: A Prince of a Fella!

My DW has a Sam Andrews Monarch with her G26 as her EDC, and a second, custom Monarch (vertical) in production as I type.

She loved the first so much, she wanted the second! I did nothing to encourage that, even though I'll get to use the other....He he he

I have an Andrews Monarch Rig and it is great. No side straps to your belt which I like.

I don't own one, but I know that the Andrews Monarch and Lou Alessi's Bodyguard are the only ones to consider.

Thanks everyone! I have a lot of research to do now, but it is great to at least have some real life experienced opinions to help!

Another vote for Andrews. I think IWB on right hip makes a lot of sense, but the shoulder rig is way more practical in so many ways for me.

I do think you have to experiment with what works for you lifestyle.
