Thanks for all of the great input. I live in the great state of Michigan. There is a lot of places that we can't carry such as banks, daycare centers, schools, Post Offices, theaters and list list goes on and on. I do have a paddle but the belt holster just seems more secure. I carry a glock 19. The belt holster draws the weapon closer and conceales better than the paddle. I did not think that an empty holster wasn't any more offensive than an empty cell phone holster. It's the contents that will get you in trouble
