Your Favorite, or Best Type of Holster

[RTroy29035]

With the various types of holsters out there I would be interested in what everyones favorite type or style of holster is.
I personally own several types of holsters made from various types of material. The holster I wear is usually determined by what I will be doing, what I am wearing and where I will be going.
I recently purchased a FOBUS paddle holster and absolutely love it.
I like the fact that my weapon snaps into place and gives me the ability to draw my weapon very quickly. It is not nearly as bulky as other holsters that I own and rides just slightly higher than other holsters, which makes it much more comfortable, at least for me, to wear.
So what types of holsters do you own or prefer to wear.

Fobus is ok. I have one, but won't use it anymore. Why carry your $500+ gun in a $20 holster?

I use a Comp-TAC MTAC holster. VERY comfortable IWB holster.
If I was going to OC, I would use a Raven Concealment holster.

I agree with all of this. I CC in a hybrid IWB rig (leather/kydex) from Mills Tactical. When I'm not carrying IWB, I use a Raven Phantom holster.

GALCO SHOULDER HOLSTER

Uncle mikes IWB

It actually does the job very well but I currently use a high noon "hidden ally" great price and very comfortable!

I couldn't stand the FOBUS that I had for my SR9, basically had to hold my holster with my weak hand to get the gun out! To each their own though!

Another +1 for High Noon, although I prefer the Split Decision model (the canted version of the Hidden Ally).

Reasonably priced, comfortable, simple, easy on/off.

I either have a Galco Combat Master or a Raven for my carry guns. If I was buying another holster tomorrow for a new carry gun it would definitely be one of those two.

For my J-frame, it's either a Mika pocket holster or a High Noon Split Decision.

For my M&P, Raven Phantom. (have one for each of my M&Ps, but have never carried the FS....yet)

Very wise. I think you'll be just fine.

I prefer horsehide. My favorite maker is Milt Sparks, Bruce Nelson or Alessi but own others.

We are very fortunate to have so many fine holster makers today.

Done Hume iwb for my springfield xd.

El Paso Saddlery model 88 Street Combat for my XD. The quality is first rate, and I would not hesitate to buy the same model for anything I plan to carry.

I just recently got a belly band (Galco Underwraps) and love it with my PPS. I think they are very underrated. You have the option of wearing it high with the gun under your strong or weak arm while still having the option to wear it low inside the waistband like a normal IWB or appendix carry holster. I also love how it keeps the load off of my belt and evenly distributes it around my torso. I can also carry 3 spare mags with room to spare. Slow re-holstering is a non-issue for me, as it really should be for any CC holster.

I can see how the band doesn't work for everyone, though. I just think it offers more utility than any other holster for its value.

Like the rest of you I'm sure, I have a big box of holsters in the closet that didn't quite "do it" for me. I finally figured out that I love kydex as a holster material, and I own a ton of Raven gear. It's top notch stuff but I got sick of having to wait 5 months every time I needed something new so I started making my own. That turned into a full time gig.

First rule for buying a holster: Get a box.

 

[danmdevries]

Pretty satisfied with my desantis speed scabbard I think the name is. Also have a very similar one by galco that works well.

For iwb I like my supertuck and a small galco clip-on.

Nobody nearby has a decent holster selection so I've got a big box full of holsters I've bought tried and didn't like as well as a wide variety of universals I use when I get a new gun I'm not certain ill carry often enough to justify a proper holster.

Galco Skyops IWB. I'm pretty skinny, but it hides a P228 perfectly

I just recently got a belly band (Galco Underwraps) and love it with my PPS.

I have been considering one of these for use when I wear elastic waist pants. My LCP really needs a trigger guard as there is no safety on it. Do any of these belly band type wraps have a firm protective layer of some sort in the holster area to avoid inadvertant jostling of the trigger?
