Darkstar has been working out well since you recommended it last year or so in another video, I've been using one several months now for 16+hrs/day. I still like my Las Concealment better slightly better design but they only offer mid height sweat guards and I prefer full guard that Darkstar offers. Solid suggestion is workin out well, only thing I don't like is the lack of mag release cover / indentation to protect from an accidental release incase of rolling around in a tussle. But so many holster don't have that awesome feature so it's hardly a deal breaker. As for wedges I just use the tear drop foam wedge which molds to your body shape after about a month of daily wear and a cheap Clinger Velcro on pad makes a kydex holster as comfy as a leather backed hybrid holster that's much easier to wash when ya sweat over time that leather just gets kinda funky over years of wear. And the Clinger pad can be placed to slightly overlap and areas that may poke you throughout the day.

One part to add to be covered is belt clip or loop attachment. I have found after trying multiple holsters that only have a single clip or loop that the holster changes angle or rotates regardless of the type of clip or loop and belt interface. I also prefer a little spread between the clips or loops so the gun doesn't sag or rotate some when the clip/loop attachments points are very close together. These aren't factors since switching to the Enigma but previous belt carry they were significant even with the best clips.

Great video! You cover SO MUCH that’s typically left out of most AIWB holster videos. 1. The wedge at the muzzle. This is an absolute game changer for concealment and comfort. 2. AIWB holster length. As you’ve stated, most people benefit in comfort and ability to conceal from a little more holster length. That “keel principle”. Many people that are new to AIWB think the shorter the holster the better, but are surprised to find the opposite is true for them. For my G43x, I use a G48 holster with muzzle wedge from JM Kydex….which is totally making me wonder why I’m not just carrying the G48 with it’s improved sight radius….hmmmm. For my G19, the standard length holster works alright, but a G17 length is even more comfortable…which is also making me wonder why I’m not just carrying the G17. Again, hmmm…… My go to is JM Custom Kydex, but also don’t forget Keepers Concealment. Spencer’s holsters are fantastic, and utilize both the foam wedge and additional length. Thanks again for the content. Your videos constantly include content that most others leave out.

Carrying appendix is just a nightmare for me because I’m 6foot 260 pounds and it’s incredibly painful and uncomfortable as well as drawing the gun and re holstering.

So basically what I've learned after buying my first holster (a trex arms sidecar btw) is that I need to lose weight, because in order for me to tuck the grip even somewhat well I have to have the gun really low which makes my belt sink low in the front which looks weird with my shirt up. I got a set of wedges from T1C, the wide sizing pack to be specific, and I'm still not sure it's making that much of a difference. Furthermore, I have a TLR7A and now I'm wondering if I'd be better off getting a TLR1 so the holster is longer and wider at the base. Sounded backwards until I actually put on the holster and realized it felt short and pointy.

The other two who commented below pretty much said what I came here to say, but I’d also add that the customization period is key, especially so for your body type. Honestly, I get how frustrating that can be, and why 4 o’clock might ultimately feel like the solution for you, but know that you can carry appendix. You just can’t do it comfortably without being selective about holster design, placing the gun in just the right spot, and adding a holster wedge.

Most understandable and clear explanation I've ever heard. Extremely well made. One question . . . can you suggest any good custom holster makers that will actually design holsters for light-bearing handguns? I have been unsuccessful locating any. They all have very limited laser/light combo models matched to firearm models or don't make anything for my Baby Desert Eagle 3 and Crimson Trace CMR-204 or HK VP9 with same.
@tessahboothАй бұрын
You're going to be hard pressed to find the intersection between QUALITY and QUANTITY. If a holster maker is designing quality products they're going to be hard pressed to keep up with the constantly changing light accessories, let alone the largely unpopular light/laser combo accessories. You will be much better off catering your light selection to what quality holster makers already have available.

I didn't go in depth on Light bearing holsters for a couple of reasons: 1) All of the features that we want in a non light or laser bearing holster for concealment and safety purposes are the same. 2) Some of the brands that I mentioned in this video do make light and laser bearing holsters, and they're brands I feel confident recommending for quality purposes. I didn't mention Aliengear or crossbreed holsters because I have not known them to make a holster that has all of the qualities I mentioned in this video, and therefore aren't brands I would recommend. Your P365XL with the 407k is fortunately a very common gun, and is supported by all of the recommended holster brands, but unfortunately the laser is what makes holster compatibility such a struggle for you.

I wouldn’t recommend attaching just a holster to gym shorts. Unfortunately you’re going to be extremely hard pressed to find a quality holster that’s compatible with that specific light. There’s lots of great light bearing holsters out there, just very few for olight. Holster company’s tend to steer clear from making holsters for a number of weapon lights, not necessarily because they’re bad but because the accessory is ever changing, and it’s too costly to reevaluate a kydex mold for a light that frequently.

Good video. I would disagree with the holster and mag attached together. A lot find that, like you mentioned, more surface area and having the clips further apart make these holsters distribute the weight over a larger area meaning, more comfort.👍

I felt that way at first too 😊 I carried in a sidecar holster for about a year, and it wasn’t until I started spending more time with independent holster designs that I realized my concealment wasn’t what it could be due to the faults in the sidecar design. Although, generally, they can be comfortable 😊

I disagree on the longer holster, I got a t1c holster for a hellcat. It came with nearly an inch of extra holster material and the end was closed so it essentially became a kydex blade pressing into me. I'm a heavier guy and admit I have a bit of a gut. So I prefer a minimalist holster design that rides just high enough to safely get my fingers around the pistol grip.

I used to use Tier 1 holsters exclusively, I know exactly what you mean :) The way that they add length is not what I'm talking about in this video. The additional length I'm referring to is not created by leaving a section of flat kydex, but rather making the entire holster longer.

what about hybrid holsters with leather on one side and kydex (or similar) on the front side? Mostly thinking about the trigger protection. Is the leather on the backside considered hard trigger protection?
@tessahbooth2 жыл бұрын
I would say that most of the time, assuming it's a quality leather, that would absolutely pass as hard trigger protection. The main issues with hybrid holsters come with longer term use. Even a quality leather is still going to have more give to it than kydex. When we fix a hard material to a relatively "soft" material and bend/flex it repeatedly over a period of time, the hard material will eventually give/break. I'm not saying all hybrid holsters are doomed, but that they too have their weak points and it's especially important to be vigilant about checking the holster for weak points/cracks. Generally it's best to go with a full kydex holster, or a full quality leather holster (Milt Sparks, 5 Shot Leather are great options).

@@tessahbooth ok great. thanks for getting back to me so quick. Ive really been having a hard time deciding what type of holsters to get. Your video was very informative, but ill probably end up with a few just so i can see the differences myself, and maybe theyll each work for certain situations better than others. Im on a pretty tight budget at the moment, and the gun ive chosen doesnt have a ton of options for holsters like some models do, so for now ive picked what seemed like the best quality holster, which happened to be a hybrid. I saw a review on it and the guy said hed been carrying it for two years. If i can get even a year out of my first daily carry holster ill be happy.
