Holster Talk

My work precludes carry, but my wife swears by Don Hume iwb holsters. Don't ever recall a problem with fit or construction...and that goes for pistols and revolvers.

 

I should have said the type of work I do....but yeah same thing, f'em

 

I have a alien tuck and it's the best holster I have ever owned.

 

I carry every day, nearly every where. I carry a Ruger LC9s in a Alien IWB holster. Its very comfortable and hides well. Alien makes their holsters right here in Idaho, about 20 miles from my home.

 

@Yard Dart "Wondering what other Monkeys like to use for their carrying of firearms on a day to day basis, especially when it comes to conceal carry?"

Ohhhhh...don't ask. I have some very expensive holsters and some cheapos, pretty, ugly, leather, plastic, kydex - you name it. I don't like any of them. It seems, more and more, I am leaning towards the Belly Band as conceals better than most, I can easily shift it when getting in/out of car and doesn't poke me when I sit.

What I want to try next is a Cross-Draw in Kydex but I have spent so much on holsters that I am a bit leery to purchase one so still looking for a good one. I think a cross-draw would make sitting easier and still be accessible within the car.

EDIT: BTW reference 'Alien Wear'...FYI those that wish to try one of their holsters... They will indeed let you try it and if you don't like it, they will return your money, no hassle. I did this and was pleasantly surprised.

 

I carry 4 0-clock IWB in a custom Orygun holster company hybrid leather/kydex most times!
The rest of the time, its ether double drop leg cowboy cross draw revolvers, or a custom made Ted Blocker Shoulder rig week side with mag pouches on the strong side!
Here is my IWB i use most times!

 

I like keeping my Walther p22 in my pocket, it is really lightweight and comfortable to carry every day. If I get nervous about something I can put my hand in my pocket, around the grip, and thumb the safety off without drawing even the slightest amount of attention.

 

Does anyone have a recommendation for a cross-draw holster, leather or kydex?

 

Kydex for duty (every day wear) leather for dressup. MAKE SURE the angle is right for you when the holster is on a proper width belt.

To my post #18 above --
The angle problem can, to a limit, be solved by using a belt that is on the narrow side for the belt loop(s) on the holster. That WILL induce meddling around when moving around, but it works. Also, having extra holes will help with comfort, or you can use something like a military web belt that can be adjusted to any position to accommodate heavier or lighter clothes.
