OWB Kydex Holster sugestions

Looking for a decent OWB Kydex/Polymer holster with level 2 retention system for 24/7 carry (CC and Open). Paddle or belt, better both.

Any ideas? Personal experiences?

Candidates are : Bladetech 5.11 , Serpa , Uncle Mikes with Internal Retention , Comp Tac (superb quality but level 1 retention only).

Thanx,


PS for Glock 19

I only us Kydex for my range holster (Blade-Tech) but have tried the Serpa and think if I ever open carried, that would be a good choice for security.

The only holster I carry out in public in, openly or concealed is my Blackhawk SERPA. It is a level II holster and is tough as steel.

I do not know if they make one for the 24/7 but I'd check that out.

If you re read the OP's post , he is asking about a G 19 ( I know , I misse read it the first time too)

I like both my SERPA holsters as well.

Ok, I am biased but...

Galco makes a injection molded plastic belt holster. They just released an auto lock for the G19.

I haven't used the ALS, but have used the SLS duty holster for years. Safariland makes a great product. I currently use the Serpa for action pistol games or open carry. Like it a lot too. Either one should serve you well.
