For carry, I definitly like the leather better. The only time I use Kydex is when I am in competition.

The leather holsaters seem to "form fit" to the gun and your body better. They are also tighter to the body. I have a leather holster for my j-frame. It has an adjustment screw for draw tension, and is an open top design (no thumb flap).

I use my kydex holster for competition (USPSA/IDPA). during competition, it is more or less an open carry situation, and the kydex is further off my body for a good fast draw. There is also less drag with the kydex holster. Ultimately, the kydex is very good, but much harder to conceal and is not as comfortable.
