Fobus Paddle Holster Question
I am considering a Fobus Paddle Holster for concealed carry. Does anyone have one? I am wanting to know if they hold the gun close to the body. Pics would be good if anyone has any.

My son and I both carry Kimber ultra's in a fobus paddle holster. There is no problem with it showing only a little extra wear on the pistol thats all. We consider these Kimbers as work horses so the wear doesn't bother us.
Good luck deciding. |

Yep, the gun is close to the body if you are normal or overweight. If you are a really skinny person with loose pants, then no paddle holster is going to work too well for you.

Fobus makes a cheap plastic holster thats just a small step up from an Uncle Mikes. I strongly suggest saving a bit more for a comp-Tac. You're looking at the difference between a Yugo and a Corvette in quality and service and it only costs $52. Best of all not only won't it wrestle you for the gun during the draw, but the holster won't accidentally come off during the draw either.

Might I most highly recommend the Galco plastic paddle?
