I find it difficult to wrap my mind around how most folks will spend upwards of $700.00 for a quality, reliable carry gun then balk at spending more than $40 on the holster.

The holster doesn't just replace your pocket as a place to carry your gun, it serves several functions; it keeps you gun securely in place (retention), and, most importantly, allows for easy access and draw when needed.

Regardless of what gun you have, if your holster isn't made for that gun and doesn't do what you need it to do, you may as well not bother carrying. Holsters are almost as personal as shoes. Like CWKahrFan said, you will need to try on a few before you will find just the right rig(s).
