Holster opinions

[AmericanBob]

I'm looking for a new/different holster for my Beretta. I currently use a Tagua leather belt slide holster. I'm looking for a polymer rig. I like the leather one I have, and will continue to use it, just looking for something with a paddle to use for carry on occasion, range work, and classes/training. I have a Brigadier model 92 so that limits my selection a bit because it is a bit wider than the regular 92's. I'm really eyeballing the blade-tech stuff and have been thinking about Raven as well. Just looking for some input on quality and comfort and/or other options as well. I do not want a strap or retention lock like safariland.

Spend good money on it once, if you buy a bladetech, you will probably want a raven down the line. Skip the stuff you probably will want to upgrade and get a raven

I like the Comp-Tac paddles. Can be had with a straight drop or "FBI" cant.

But, I'd encourage you to train with what you carry rather than something different.

I strongly reccomend Hooch fosters. They're custom made, so weapon doesn't matter.

+1 for CompTac paddles

I'm personally not a fan of the Raven 2 piece "sandwich" style holsters (or any of the many knockoffs). They just don't fit me well.

I have a Comp-Tac for my Sig. I prefer Contact Concealment holsters. Not nearly as long a wait, the holsters look almost identical to the Raven holsters. Contact Concealment holsters work well.

The Blackhawk Serpa holsters are very popular as well. Each holster comes with both paddle and belt attachments. I like that you can adjust the cant forward, rearward, or straight to your own preference, not to mention that the holster itself can be mounted to Blackhawk's drop leg platform or MOLLE mount. There are some platforms I wouldn't use this with, such at the 1911. For me, the single action trigger of the 1911 increases the propensity of a AD or ND too much for my skill level. You wouldn't run into that with the DA/SA Beretta. I believe they make one for the Brigadier as well; I believe I spied one at Indy Trading Post the other day. If you go the Serpa route, make sure you get the "Carbon Fiber" one as opposed to the less expensive "Sportster". Happy holster hunting!

I bought one recently from HolsterWorx. They're in Duncansville, PA. They do fabulous work. It took me 2 weeks to have a custom made, form fitted all leather holster (except for the IWB Clip)shipped to me from the time I talked to them on the phone. The fit is fabulous. I found their stuff on Facebook. There is a picture of a Glock IWB holster on their page. Mine looks identical except everything is black and they engraved my initials in it for me. Just search for HolsterWorx on Facebook. I believe all of their contact info is on there.
