Looking for an OWB paddle holster in leather. Tagua quick draw (not sure if it's adjustable) or a Bianchi (maybe model 83 ?)

I've never had either brand and wondering which is better long term ?

If someone has an alternative, I'd be interested. something that will ride high and preferably less than $60

thanks for any input.

I carry my XDS .45 in a Don Hume JIT Slide. Rides high good fit, 26.00 at Amazon.

I've had surprisingly good luck with my Tagua OWB. They are made in Paraguay by very experienced leather crafters and I especially appreciate the flat inner face on mine.

I had a Tagua paddle holster. Hated it. The paddle was flimsy and the gun flopped too much. There was no retention of any sort to keep the gun in the holster. Good leather, poor execution. Of the 2, I would suggest Bianchi. If you're open to others, a Blackhawk CQB paddle would be in the same price range, and, IMHO, is a better holster than either of the 2 you mention.
