Handgun CCW holsters

Comp-Tac Infidel with leather loops for IWB. I’ve found it very comfortable and practical.

For belt carry, I use an Aker “Flatsider” thumbbreak that has served exceptionally well for years. I’ve also used a regular ol’ Galco thumbbreak pancake that was great.

I’ve tried a variety of things for tucked carry. Nothing has been satisfactory. Most “tuckables” I’ve tried create a Glock 19-sized bulge that makes me look like I have a hip deformity. Anything with external belt clips is noticeable or requires so much shirt blousing that it defeats the purpose. Also, chances are if I’m going tucked, I’m wearing something that would make a wide gun-worthy belt look out of place.

When I insist on both carrying and going tucked, I use a bellyband. I hate it (uncomfortable, slow, no reholstering) but it works better than any “tuckable” holster I’ve found so far.

I carry a Kimber CDP PRO in a DC Special IWB I got from Eric. Stays put, can re-holster with one hand and I don’t even know its there.
FWIW Dad has a tuckable, (supertuck I think) says its NOT worth the hassle.

23

TopGunSupply often has them. So does LightningArms Sports. All are seriously good people to deal with too.

24

I’ve had great luck with a Kramer IWB for a 1911. It’s leather, but it’s rigid and doesn’t collapse when empty.

25

I have been carrying a 228 in a M.T.A.C for 4 months now and has been working well. You get the comfort of leather and the retention of kydex. Just find what works best for you.

26

Comp-tac CTAC for the Glocks or Delfatti ISP WR for the 1911’s.
I have j-frame iwb by Delfatti, and a Mika pocket holster for the same.
Alessi OWB and Rosen OWB also get some use.

27

I generally carry either a 5" 1911 or a G19:

For IWB I prefer the Milt Sparks Heritage #1 followed by the Custom Carry Concepts Looper; if I have a light on the pistol, then the IWB Raven Concealment Systems Phantom is the best option I’ve found. (I also like the Alessi and Kramer IWB holsters)

For concealed belt carry, I like the Alessi/Heinie DOJ, followed by the Cendex SD Taylor (or similar kydex holster); if I have a light on the pistol, the OWB Raven Concealment Systems Phantom is again the way to go. (I also like the Milt Sparks 55BN-A, Safariland 6377, and the old Safariland 540)

For duty use, I run a modified high-ride Safariland 6004 type holster.

28

I generally carry a Kimber Pro Carry. I use a Blade Tech IWD mostly year yound, it seems to work fine no matter what I am wearing.

29

With the exception of my Kel-Tec PF-9, that I carry in a Galco Pocket holster,

I carry everything else IWB,

Wilson Combat Professional in a Milt Sparks Versa Max 2

Springfield XD-45 Service in a Brommeland Max Con V

Browning Hi Power in a Wilson Combat IWB Holster

CZ75B in a Tucker Gunleather Heritage Model

any recommendations on an IWB or CCW holster for a glock 19 with the x400?

My wife and I both used to use this Don Hume Holster. http://www.donhume.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=35

It is relatively inexpensive and very comfortable. I lost mine when our station got flooded, and haven’t replaced it yet. Right now I am using a Comp-Tac MTac holster for my Glock. I don’t have any bad issues with the MTac. I just wish I would have saved my money and went with Don Hume again.

32

I am a huge fan of the galco summer comfort and have been carrying my 1911 and my sigs with that holster for some time. I have zero issues with reholstering, and the draw is fairly quick. It is also the most comfortable IWB holster i have used, and the leather has tested the course of time.

33

The Don Hume IWB Strike looks interesting…

34

I have a “stocky” build and a case of noassatall, so I’ve tried quite a lot of rigs over the years in both leather and Kydex.
I finally came upon the Comp-Tac C-Tac holster and couldn’t be happier.
I carry a full size 1911 in it, with a tucked T-Shirt and an unbuttoned ‘cover’ shirt over it to prevent printing.
I have been carrying a Springfield for a couple years, but I just bought a Kimber Custom Crimson Carry II over the weekend. What a big difference the aluminum frame makes in comfort due to the reduced weight!
For belts I use a Gall’s 1 3/4" dress gun belt, and just added a 5.11 Operator belt for casual wear.
I run the Comp-Tac V clips on mine and have the corresponding Velcro on the inside of each belt.
The whole thing just disappears with no clips over the belt. And the velcro ensures it stays put without shifting.
Until they have a cure for noassatall I will have to pull up the pants on occasion, but I don’t just grab the gun side when I pull them up.
The 5.11 Operator belt seems a bit better so far since it’s not locked into set adjustment holes like the leather belt.

35

Oh there’s definitely cure. It’s called aging:o.

36

I use both a Galco and Blade Tech IWB for most of my carry, I’m also using one of the Safariland ALS concealment holsters alot lately, mostly at work where I have a much higher possibility of needing to go hands on with someone.
It’s less concealable than an IWB, but much more secure in a fight. Fast as hell on the draw, and easy to reholster too.

37

and the cure is called suspenders. They work great to keep everything at the proper position…or so I am told!!!:stuck_out_tongue:

38

And make a heck of a fashion statement.

39

Personally I use and like the Milt Sparks VMII. But if you are curious about the Crossbreed Supertuck, ask Spade he has one for his XD.

What about the Galco Skyops holster?

I have no personal experience with this holster, just making a rec based on your tuckable need.
