I have spoken to several people who go through several holsters before find one that they like. I do understand that not everyone will like the same carry style and position. But what I would like to hear from everyone are a couple of things.
1. What is your carry style. What is comfortable to you. (2 o'clock, side, IWB, ankle, ect...)

2. What brand of holsters do you use and are you completely happy with it.

I know I will get a lot of various responses on this. Thats a good thing. Can't wait to hear from everyone.

Looks like no one wants to hep you out here. I will help you out here!

1. I carry my piece using a Ultra Deep Cover IWB Holster.

I can carry with my shirt tucked in with this one. You can get it at Master of Concealment (http://masterofconcealment.com/index/103&page=3&nothumbs=&filter_1=&filter_2=&filter_3=&filter_4=).

2.I have been real happy with Galco. I have a few of them and I love them all.

I use OTW by Don Hume the 721 pancake with TS and the J.I.T slide.The J.I.T slide is more comfortable and it doesnt have aa thumb strap (TS).I like them both but find myself useing the slide more but if Im going to out where I dont want to lose my gun I will use the 721,dont want to be riding the tractor and have it fall out in the field.

Milt Sparks VM2. Inside wiastband right hand at a little past 3 position.

Have one of these for every piece I routinely CC. Not the chapest and not the most expensive but the down side is the waiting time. Could be 20 to 26 weeks wait time but I have went through it before and will gladly again as necessary.

Their products are the best I've found for comfort, wear and function.

I carried my Beretta Cougar Inox in a VM2 as my backup during my last Iraqi stint. I wear the same rig daily now.

I have three holsters, I have a Crossbreed Super-Tuck IWB, a KNJ IWB nylon w/clip, and a Yaki style Fobus. I am still waiting (patiently) on my CCL. I've tried on all three and believe I'm happiest with the Crossbreed, then the KNJ for normal concealment. I don't think you can beat the Fobus on a cool day with a windbreaker or jacket. Time will tell for sure though.

I just recently purchased a Taurus Pro 145 from Holly on this site and am considering buying the High Noon Mr. Softy (http://www.highnoonholsters.com/Product_Line/_Mr_Softy/_mr_softy.html). (For my first holster) The price seems very reasonable and I like the straight draw IWB. I noticed one post on the High Noon Bare Asset, a cheap holster isn't worth the money if it is too cheaply made, Anyone have a High Noon product they are happy or unhappy with? Thanks for the help.

I think the most comfortable way to carry for me is in a shoulder holster, and I have several. They are just not practical here in New Mexico however.

I am still searching for the ideal holster for me.

I have a few more holsters then the last time I posted here. I have 2 CrossBreed Super-Tuck IWBs. One for my G23, the other for my PT-145. I have a high noon MR. Softy for my SCCY CPX-1. I have a Bianchi 7506 AccuMold Belt Slide which fits both my G23 and PT-145. I found that removing the back strap damaged the velcro so I mainly use the 7506 fro the PT-145. I do have the Fobus paddle for the G23. For concealment it's hard to beat the CrossBreeds. The Fobus and the Bianchi are very comfortable with a windbreaker or jacket. I also found a very well made nylon holsters KNJ makes them so I have numerous Nylon holsters which hold an extra magazine. These are mainly used for storage or under the car seat. Sorry for being so long winded, but I tried not to miss a holster.

Check this one out. It's what I use. And if it can conceal a full size glock comfortably it's got my business. not to mention the customer service from them are absolutely awesome. And they send you candy with every order. Who doesn't like free candy?? Doesn't get much better than that.

I'm checking on this one too Jizzle. I am going to get one for my Glock 26 & 27, but am looking at it for my 1911 as well. Maybe we should all get together and open a store for slightly used holsters. I have a few of the cheaper variety that I would like to dump once I get some decent ones.

Ok I ordered one of these for my Glock 26 & 27. Current production time is 7 days. The one I'm using now is pretty crappy...

Post your used holsters at the for sale section of the forum. You might find someone who will buy it.

Some of mine are cheap, so I don't think anyone would be interested. But I do have a few "better" ones that may interest someone. I'll post them this weekend.

I find the Fobus paddle to be comfortable and easy to use. I have used several different bolsters but I tend to come back to the Fobus.

I mostly carry my 24/7 ls in a Crossbreed IWB, but I also sometimes carry in my Blackhawk Serpa all my Taurus fit the same 1, I like them equally as well. Just depends on my clothing for that day.
