I have a laundry basket full of holsters, here are some things I discovered: 1) It's EASY to conceal a little baby gun like a P-365 or an airweight revolver comfortably. When you carry something the size of a G-19 or bigger, it's not so easy. 2) I have replaced the word 'comfortable' in my vocabulary with 'tolerable'. When it comes to carrying a gun, saying it's comfortable is a stretch. 3) You get a Kydex holster and it prints... so you put a claw/wing on it to pull the grip in tighter... then it's stabbing you so you put a pad on the back... what you end up with is a big, thick bulky rig in your waistband. Sometimes... less is more... 4) Deciding to carry full time is like opening a can of worms. If you lack the resolve to eat ALL the worms in the can, don't open it. Carrying daily requires a high degree of commitment.

[@williammicou5757]

I have a Glock 20 gen 10 mm, with a TLR -1 HL stream Light 💡 on it. What holster, do you make, for this weapon? Thanks, in advance!!!

[@mrjesuschrist2u]

There is no right answer, only trade-offs

[@charlesbeall2589]

​@@mrjesuschrist2uYep, I've had my F-Series PDP for a year and carry it appendix untucked and tucked. It's just a little thinner than a brick but I've never seen a pistol that suits me as well!

[@kogasoldier9379]

I’m actually a fan of the cheap kydex holsters. I just make sure there’s adjustable retention because that the biggest problem with cheap holsters. They’re not always fitted exactly right so adjustable allows you to get it to fit just right. Got a warriorland claw holster for about 30 bucks and it’s been amazing.

[@pissedoffpuppy]

Another good review, but like most reviews no one ever shows any of the holsters worn in a sitting position

[@mattmanzano51]

After buying like 20 holsters, I found a company called Black Arch that has something called a Protos-M double clip, Protos-M Heritage, and Protos-M single clip, which are super comfy from appendix to 5oclock on my right side. It is the only hybrid holster I could find with full trigger guard and adjustable retention for my P365 X-Macro Tacops. I prefer strong side carry at my 330, and the Protos-M double works great for it. I can switch the shell out with the Heritage Backer for super hot days, and then to the Protos-M backer for cooler days. Also the shells are interchangeable, which I didn't know beforehand, so beware of that if you wanna buy. Backers and Shells are gun specific, so also be aware of that. I LOVED Alien Gear Holsters, but the one for the X-Macro does not fully cover the trigger and it is hard to re-holster. For P365XL it is my go to holster IWB 4.0 Shapeshift, but that kit does not fit the X-Macro, which is a bummer.

[@bren7883]

Exactly! Most iwb holsters are super uncomfortable when you sit

[@EvilFreestyleGod]

I bought my crossbreed mini tuck 4 years ago. All I can say is it works great and molds to your body so you know it's comfortable. Also, get horse hide if you live in a humid area or sweat a lot.

[@jonathanward1527]

I’m using the Werkz M6 for my M&P 9 Shield Plus. It fits with my light attached and will allow me to add a red dot optic if I want to. Has both a claw and wedge to aid in concealment. Comfortable.

[@lmaoboy8546]

For under 100 bucks it’s a great holster

[@mikehaynes8647]

I have bought three holsters from Muddy River Tactical and have been very pleased with them. I bought a holster from one of the companies on your list and was very disappointed. It took a month to get the holster and it was not a good fit (it did not click in).

[@axlsavage]

Based on this vid I purchased the Concealment Express IWB Holster. I have a full size and compact. Both fit me very well.

Any love out there for the Black Arch Protos-M Dual Clip? I"m surprised it didn't make this list.

[@chipgabbert6095]

I have a ton of holsters because I don’t believe reviews and wanna try them all myself. The Tulster is by far the smallest but not most comfortable. I bought one from Tucker Gunleather and it is beautiful and functional. My favorite by far for comfort, which is what we all crave, is Hidden Hybrid. The soft back is comfortable and the claw really conceals well. P365 by the way

Wow, just stumbled across this and have been reviewing holsters for awhile and have it down to the Hidden & Tucker Gun Leather (when I can afford it). The fact that you are endorsing the hidden over the Tucker is saying something!

[@richardhansen342]

Ghee here's the problem IWB single clip, the gun rotates depending on it's balance weight. IWB wide spaced dual clip, work all day moving and sitting next thing you find is your gun is hanging by 1 clip and ready to fall off. Belt loops & slots don't work with certain pants loops. Sidecar magazine pouch puts the sharp part of a magazine printing or gouging you and can't be moved.

[@revan.3994]

I was able to test only two of your list, bit the one I sticked to was the Austrian Black Trident IWB holster. Not cheap but perfectly customizable, nearly comfy, and incredible quality.

[@paulharrison8152]

I’ve got concealment express kydex holsters for my P365, LCP, Browning Hi Power and Colt Defender. Great holsters, but if your t-shirt is not loose, the clip can print when worn at 3 o’clock, which is where I carry.

For IWB, the only holster make and model I have used in the last 5 years is the Crossbred Minituck in horsehide. For pocket carry I either use the Alabama or even more spartan a MIC trigger guard cover. I have a roughneck tub full of other Kydex holsters, I will never use any of them.

[@XxskidudekidxX]

CrossBreed is one of the only brands I found that offers an option for a 92FS Brigadier. Just ordered one and hoping for the best. Glad it made your list.

[@nateeaton4163]

Vedder comfort tuck for my FN 545 with optic. You should've removed #5 entirely and bumped the other holsters down one to put vedder comfort in #1.

[@KE4NAB]

Crossbreed has an awesome warranty.....ive worn it everyday for about 3 years and the rivets rusted out, they replaced it free of charge

[@desertdweller8981]

Ive worn my Stealth Gear daily for 12 years no rust let alone rusted out... Best warranty is one that is not needed.

[@googlechicken]

Harry’s Holsters makes the best IWB holsters in my opinion very minimalist and comfortable and I love the integrated wing on the new models

[@michaeljohnson2104]

Milt Sparks VM-II is my IWB of choice. One for my Glock 22 the other for my 1911. Not cheap but very well made and comfortable.

[@TXLoneStar_]

Agreed. Milt Sparks is awesome and well worth the wait.

[@braddahjosh808]

You forgot the Orpaz EVO. That holster hides my S&W Shield Plus so well.

[@mithrandir1313]

S&W M&P 9mm with WML... fits great... way more comfy than plain kydex...

[@steveninaz9576]

I appreciate that these "top 5" are your opinions on what you've tried. But not seeing Tier1 and T-Rex mentioned shows that cost was a factor. You get what you pay for.

[@agunther08]

Kramer , but bring your check book and realize you could wait months. Still very nice and the retention is perfect also the design are as good as it gets. An other thing I like is belt straps wont scar the leather seats in my car if my cover garment rides up while driving. Carry a Glock 19 very comfortably.

[@Civilian_Patriot]

I keep it simple, sticky holster for 7 years no issues. Works best with gym shorts etc

[@bigbadjohnpesek9894]

I dont worry about concealed carry. I can carry open or concealed. I just put it in my waist in a cross draw and i never tuck my shirt in.

[@BigBearCarolina1]

Different strokes, I guess. For quality, comfort, function, delivery, and customer service, Tulster would be my pick every time. Profile, Profile+, Oath, Rath. That being said, what’s good for me may not be good for the weak minded.

[@ExSoldier762]

I used to use CROSSBREED almost exclusively. But oddly enough I have found that BULLSEYE HOLSTERS has a minimalist rig that allows me to easily conceal my Springfield Armory 1911 TRP 10mm with such comfort that I can wear it all day and come home, settle into my DAD’S RECLINER and then fall asleep while still wearing it! Same rig for my Glock M29 10mm. Same results. Not expensive either.

[@abnrgr7569]

Bullseye is better than the crossbreed, I have a breed for my colt Commander. I'm try this Bullseye thx for your input.

[@wbwills2]

Y. Thx. The least expensive color of polecraft (Amazon.blaze orange basket weave at the time of order)is working out good for me. 365xl. Did change the fomi to a mono block. Fomi clip was only part that printed .will check out bullseye though. Thx.

[@t.k.morris]

Is there a good recommendation of where to buy one from?

[@Stack_Silver]

Have they stopped making holsters? Their website offers no buying options.

[@American54]

I like Falco leather IWB holsters they are really nice

[@jaxxskellington3929]

Got a custom nylon iwb holster from craft holster. Super comfortable. I dont realize it's there half the time.

[@specialkfouryou]

Have a mini tuck and it is really disappointing for the shield with the tlr6. Might be better for the gun without the tlr6. Can't get a proper grip on the gun to draw, retention is just not right (to hard to draw) and not adjustable. Can't goes from riding to low to even lower. On top of that the rough inside of the clips cut up my belt. Build quality yes, design not so much. I wish I returned it but I needed it for a class and missed the return window, sits in the pile now.

[@mickeyparver2073]

Sharky from RH holsters, Czech Republic...Best of the best

I've carried my 1911 in a Galco super tuck for a decade and a half. Much of the time, I carry in a suit in a non-permissive environment. Tucked in shirt, jacket and sometimes a vest. All day comfort even for sn sll steel gun.

For my Sig P365, the IWB holsters are nice but the abrasive grip panels on the gun tend to rub my skin while under my shirt, it would be nice to have a leather or composite backing behind the grip to prevent this. Does anyone make a holster with this design?

[@mrblackard]

I don't understand how anyone can like the crossbreed... bought one and it's so stiff and uncomfortable... tried to wear it for about 3 weeks and just couldn't feel comfortable so went back to my Alien Gear shape shift...

This is actually why I never use holsters. No flashlight/laser accomodations

[@brendan8827]

[@MRBT86]

LOL WHAT? There are a number of companies that make holsters that accommodate them. PHLster, Henry, etc. You might have to get a good quality light (ie the most common ones such as a Streamlight TLR 7 or TLR 1, or Surefire X300).

[@badmatt4227]

My metric is that a holster should have two points of contact. To dumb this down, a holster need two belt clips or two points belt loops. A single belt clip is moronic to use and is for the inexperienced.

[@RussellMorash-m8w]

I've tried i.w.b.s but ihave nener found one rhat has a good fit to my shape and sitting is always a problem i got a small leather holster that goes horizontal across my back it doesn't bother me sitting in the car because most people have a natural space at the base of the spine it has a screw that gives it excellent retention and i always wear i size bigger shirts that are long so even bending it's not visable

[@jjg1501]

its a good way to get paralyzed if you ever fall down or get pushed down since the pistal sits right in the small of the back. it has happened before. its a very dangerous carry position overall. even if you slip on the sidewalk it sets you up for serious injury. it is the primary reason more of us dont carry in that position
