I certainly prefer Kydex holsters over leather or nylon. The ability to form fit the holster to the weapon reduces bulk and also provides a grip that secures the weapon in place. (“Snap and pop fit” if you will…) Unlike a form fitted leather holster this grip remains constant for the life of the rig. For those who regularly use their holsters that life will most likely be extended beyond that of holsters made from other materials that are exposed to similar use and stress. Also, water proof, lighter, stronger … bla, bla, bla … I’m sure you get the Idea. There are several makers out there and as such you will find differing approaches in their rigging. I have noticed two major camps among Kydex holster makers. Those who rivet only (no tension adjustment) and those who make adjustables.
I have not had the opportunity to try the IWB holster from BT that you have asked about. However, I have several other Kydex IWB holsters that are very comfortable. The Blade Tech looks as if it should be as well. I would encourage you to give it a try as personally I have only experienced good quality products from their shop.
