I found an old leather shoulder holster at a gun show made for a 1911. It was 20.00 and I didn't think twice about it. I was finally able to carry my full size 1911 comfortably.

@@danperry3116 have you tried a belly band holster? If I am going to carry using the under the shoulder holster, I would prefer that it be under a coat, but outside of the normal shirt, but I wouldn't be very comfortable with that being dully concealable unless I keep my jacket zipped or buttoned, which adds an element to the draw that is, in my opinion kind of unavoidable, so I like to have it under my shirt in the belly band, or my current favorite setup is a "fanny pouch" type shoulder holster where I keep my full sized glock in a zipped up pocket. Again, there is that level of. I need both hands to draw, but as they say on Active Self Protection "don't draw on the drop" (if someone has the drop on you wait for you turn to counter-ambush)

I don't mind it in the winter, but I'm looking to get something smaller for the summer. Probably a Sig P365XL. That way it still has a decent sight radius and barrel length without the width of the absolute chonker Glock. I considered the 43, but it's single stack and I don't want to go that low on ammo capacity.

Leather is comfortable and quiet. Its what I prefer. Small or minimalist if possible. The less bulk the better. I use Kusiak leather treated shaped and form fitted for a specific pistol. Won't collapse. Tight stand alone retention. Also use Galco and Bulldog leather friction holsters, one an IWB and one a OWB slide holster that fits several different pistols. I use an Andicen leather thumb break/snap in a IWB/OWB dual role for a revolver. I use a neoprene BUGBite calf holster occasionally. A nylon horizontal shoulder rig with jackets. But mostly IWB or OWB is what I wear. I tried a Versacarry IWB at one time and although a good holster, it turned out to be just too bulky for me.

I bought an Urban Carry holster a few years ago and use it a lot during the winter when I'm wearing thicker pants and I don't have to worry about being too hot. It works great, it's very comfortable once you get used to it. It doesn't really print at all and if it does it prints in a way that no one would guess it's a firearm. Like the company says it looks more like you have something in your pocket like a wallet than anything else. It pulls out very easily and is pretty quick and easy. During the warmer months I do prefer I smaller more traditional kydex or leather IWB holster though.

Glad to finally see someone with an honest take on the Crossbreed Reckoning. I've been using it for almost 2 years and I hate it. I can't wait to switch to something smaller that's all kydex. In addition to everything you mentioned, it also has a tendency to cause pretty noticeable printing at the bottom of the grip unless you're wearing a baggy shirt or a cover garment. I hear they come with a claw now that addresses that issue, but mine didn't. I'll probably switch the Reckoning over to OWB when I get a decent appendix holster, so I can at least still get some use out of it.

Tulster is excellent. Carried my LX's in a Tulster Contour. Now carrying my XM in the new Contour which only took about a month to release after the X-Macro was released. Only drawback is they won't do a straight-through open-end for comps. All my XLs now have XM lowers so they all work with the Contour - except the one with a Herrington Arms comp. Blackpoint's OWB for XM has a straight-thru end, slightly thicker kydex, more cant and has low-profile steel holster loops which really pull the weapon in high & tight against your side. The downside is they take a lot longer to ship when ordered. Think I'll get an Oath for the times I wear IAWB. Great video, thx.

I easily have more than double what you've shown and I only use a handful of them. If theyr'e not comfortable or don't conceal well, they dont get used much. 1 other thing to mention is the holsters ability to cover the sharp edges or sharp stippling/checkering on the gun. Sometimes no holster will stop that particular gun from chewing up your side or belly. Sometimes this requires adding a set of talon rubber skins to the grip so the gun is comfortable to wear.

My first holster for my first gun was a Blackpoint IWB for a P365XL. I tried carrying it per staff recommendation in the 5-6 position, and I found it was sagging my pants and generally uncomfortable and interfering, as well as hard to access. I switched it to a 2-3 position and it is extremely comfortable, more manipulatable, less interfering, and it is compatible with a stomach. All in all, the position makes a huge impact on the holster. Move yours around especially if it's a Kydex mounted on a flexible base, as mine is.

Interestingly, I think the Crossbreed Reckoning is one of the more comfortable holsters for appendix carry... and I'm pretty chunky. Less rigid than the Gunfighters Inc. Wraith IWB and has two clips (the Wraith has fallen off my belt a couple times, which is less than ideal). I am also a huge fan of the Vedder Pocket Locker. The DeSantis Nemesis and DeSantis Sof-Tuck lack the retention I like, but they are good for the price. Recently tested the Mission First Minimalist and it was okay.

I got lucky finding my duty holster although there weren’t many choices because We carried revolvers. I’ve changed to concealed carry all the time. I have more belly than You and since I’m older, I don’t have a more “elastic” skin so whatever I carry will not be appendix. So.... I’m looking all over again. I know by first hand experience or by Brothers that are still working full time what to totally avoid. But I’m stacking some that won’t work in spite of this knowledge. My back is a nuclear disaster. Basically what You are going to be many years from now. Overweight, over hang, under funded and old and tired. I will let You know if I find THE holster that works for me. I appreciate You!

Good Video, Hegshot. Informative. I live in TN and have CCW. Don't open carry because don't want a "shoot me first" sticker on my head! Man, I just stick with what I know works--I've carried a Colt Lightweight Commander, every day in a Milt Sparks Summer Special on a Sparks 1.5" belt, for 27 years. Two years ago, I reluctantly(.45ACP to 9mm??) switched to a Glock 48. Again, with Milt Sparks 1.5" belt, Summer Special 2, and single S-4C magazine carrier(but OUTside the pants on the carrier). I was surprised! Didn't think ANYthing IWB was LESS "printable" than a LW Commander. G-48 proved me wrong! And outside magazine carrier as well, wasn't noticeable! But I'm kinda lean and small(5'10" 160lbs). For two years, have carried all, every day. No problems, only Praise. Yeah, it takes them a damned LONG time to deliver, but they definitely DELIVER! Thanks.

I bought a craft shoulder holster from craft and love it ! It is a vertical holster that pivots forward when drawing my Glock 19 . As you said I don’t get to wear it very often cause I live in southwest Florida! But there are days in winter that I can . It’s a little bulky under a jacket but who cares! Nobody ever notices it. Thanks for the vid 😊😊

As a younger man back in the day I bought an Uncle Mike's shoulder rig for my S&W M59 because that's what all the TV detectives used. I've been nothing but happy with it over the years. I can't imagine driving for hours a day with a gun down the front of my pants. Much later my company forbade firearms anywhere on company property. Since quite a few cluck heads had been fired I felt that I was in more danger at work than walking down a dark street in town. So I tried an ankle rig similar to the one shown with a S&W Bodyguard .380 and I was golden. I frequently forgot I had it on when I got home from work. I turned it so that it rode under my calf muscle and with loose-legged jeans it was totally invisible. That's my two cents worth. Good content here. Keep it up !

I've tried tons of different brands of kydex holsters over the years, most of them were just okay, some were garbage. The best crafted ones that I've tried have been Tulster and G Code. They have the best fitment, the best edges, and no wrinkles or anything similer in the material. Where Tulster beats G code is in the comfort/concealment. I have numerous Tulster holsters now and I'm pretty sure I got my first one years ago based on your reviews and recommendation.

as a Mobile mechanic I use the urban carry g3 all the time. it is great for when you want to carry and not spook people or accidentally show that you have a gun especially when you have to do a lot of different things for your job and be around a lot of people. yes it definitely takes a learning curve for drawing and shooting but I have my g48 with a light and a red dot and it works wonders. before that I had my 1911 and used the urban carry g2 and it worked great as well.

Hey! If you're a bigger guy like me and kydex holsters irritate your skin or muffin top. I HIGHLY recommend picking up one of Uncle Mike's appendix holsters their outside is soft like fleece. I bought a size too large for my S&W bodyguard and slipped the kydex holster into it. Now it is a pleasure to wear each day AND drawstroke is not effected by the changes to the holster.

I’ve also gone through about every holster on the market. My EDC is a ruger LC9s. Because of my body type (I’m a big guy) appendix carry is simply too uncomfortable for me. I’ve tried several…. The phlster enigma being my most recent. They all are hard to draw, dig in to my stomach, and print like crazy. What works for me is an aliengear shapeshifter carried at 3:30.. very comfy, no printing, quick draw, good for summer or winter. It seems that my body’s sweet spot is slightly before or after my right hip. The spare mag is in a sticky sleeve in back left pocket….YMMV. Loved your video. As you said, body types and carry methods vary a lot from person to person. You gotta find what works for you.

Raven concealment vanguard 2 is a game changer. It's basically a trigger card but incredibly minimalist. Only downside is you have to take it off to reholster. I practice my draw with a different holster. Highly recommend.

After going thru a bunch of different holsters for M&P Shield, I ended up settling on a Tulster Profile. In fact, I like it so much, that I bought another one in a different color. I bought one for the occasional carry of my full-size Beretta PX4. I also ended up buying the double metal clips and modwings to pull it in even closer and keep it more concealable than the standard plastic clips. Just a little bit more money but well worth it for comfort at 2 or 3 o'clock wearing. It's my EDC.

My usual go to is a modified pocket carry. I have some cargo shorts and pants where I've sewn a strap into the pocket so I can put a trigger cover with a belt clip on it, put it in so it hooks to the strap, and close the pocket. It holds the gun steady, doesn't keep me from bending or sitting, and makes it comfortable. Bonus is that the pocket is already at the same level as my arms length so it's easy access.

I personally used a hybrid holster from Crossbreed I loved the comfort but I went through 2 holsters in less than a year due to cracking of the kydex near the trigger guard. I'm assuming I was from a combination of the added torsional pressure from the wing in conjunction with my body type and the tightness of my belt. Also I work in a mostly seated position which I feel further exacerbated the issue.
