@@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.

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.

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.

Most comfortable for me is the Essential Holsters "Naked Holster". I'm right -handed and use a left-handed one at 5:30 for palm-out draw. Not fast but discrete and I forget it's there. That or OWB leather belt slide, nice and tight to me at 3 o'clock. Anything else gets annoying after a while. A good belt like a Kore is a must.

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.

But for about 10 years, I've carried strong side iwb for the last few years. I just hated having to train myself to draw two different ways. Domanite side iwb in the summer and shoulder holster in the winter, so i just made the move to domanite side carry.

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!

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 !

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.

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.

Thanks for a really thorough, no-holds-barred review of the different styles of holsters and the pluses and minuses. A lot of great information. One thing that would help: A few of the holsters, in the sections where you were talking about specific features and issues, you didn't mention the brand/model, or I really had to dig for it. If you could title the section for each holster, or mention the name, so I could hunt it down and buy it, that would be great! You were talking "this Kydex type" without the name and it was driving me crazy. At any rate, good rundown! Thanks again!

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 also have back trouble lower back trouble what I've done is I use those great big Lumberjack type suspenders I do not clip them to my gun belt I clip them to my blue jeans. I will wear a regular t-shirt or a not whether you know those what are they call those tank tops they have the straps go over your shoulder but they're open a lot more open than a regular t-shirt I'll wear one of those with these suspenders fashion to my jeans and then I were like covered garment some kind of shirt or jacket was some kind of pattern in the print that helps break up any printing that I might be doing but what happens with these suspenders is it equalizes the load and takes it off myself my waist and puts it on my shoulders I carry some of it on my waist. I'm telling you it's a god-sent the way you did it takes the pressure off my lower back

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.

I use the Blackpoint with the wing when I need to appendix carry my p365. My only complaint is that the spring steel clip didn't always reliably clip to the bottom edge of my Kore Essentials belt, so I changed it out for soft loops with snaps.

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 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.

I have a Crossbreed but without the msg holder. I carry at 4 o’clock. I have zero problems with sweat or drawing. My only issue is re-holstering it. It’s still my favorite holster for summers in Texas - hot and often humid. Winters I carry my M-9 in a shoulder holster.

I would like to hear comments on OWB, inside the belt carry. Using a slender Kydex holster designed for IWB carry is very secure when carried in this manor. Printing through a shirt is basically the same as IWB carry but more comfortable because there's more fabric between the holster and body. May be a little inconvenient getting into the front or back pocket, depending on where it's carried but it may be faster to handle. With a quality gun belt, it's just as secure. You need to be a little more diligent about keeping it out of sight but there's a trade off in every carry position.

I *love* my Urban Carry holster in certain situations and types of clothing. You need a good gun belt, but with the right pants (even cargo shorts) you get zero printing and a very fast draw that presents the weapon very close to a ready-to-aim position with this holster. The only disadvantage is no integrated extra mag pocket. And sometimes a knowledgeable and observant fellow concealed carrier will recognize the tell-tale leather foldover in the front. My other holster (and my overall favorite) is a VNSH holster. It deeply conceals my trusty old Taurus GX4 in everything from a tux to gym shorts and even swim trunks, even with one of the mag pockets occupied by a mag. It's also very versatile. It can emulate a shoulder holster if the cold weather clothing or suit jacket clothing permits it, although I almost always carry appendix. I've tried other brands of bellyband holsters and they come to pieces after a few weeks of use. I have yet to find a Kydex holster that lets me totally forget I'm even carrying a gun. I put on my VNSH when I get dressed and wear it until I get undressed to retire at night. I almost always position it for a sub-second draw, but when the situation calls for it, and at the cost of a couple seconds of access time, I can conceal it not just IWB, but below the belt to the point where only a patdown, a hernia exam or a metal detector would give anyone a clue I'm carrying. If I'm wearing something with an elastic band like gym shorts, I don't even sacrifice any draw time since I can pull away the elastic waistband of the shorts instantly. My wife loves her VNSH holster because, with most of her outfits, a gun belt would look ridiculously out of place and be uncomfortable. Furthermore, the VNSH allows her to position her S&W CSX micro-9 wherever it will conceal best. No one outside of my own family knows I carry constantly, nor would they ever guess. And that's exactly the way I want it.

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.
