What Holster Do You Use for EDC? - Page 2

Big Shrek · July 14, 2020, 11:16 PM

Thunderwear deep cover holster.
I don't like printing, hence the most invisible carry system

Henry400 · July 16, 2020, 07:27 PM

All my holsters, except the pocket holster, are leather

Sig P365 - Blackhawk TechGrip pocket holster #3
G19X / G45 - Bianchi PI (model 58) pancake for OWB, custom rig for IWB
Full Size 1911 - Tagua thumb break OWB
3" 1911 (Colt Defender) - Bianchi PI pancake for OWB, custom rig for IWB
Dan Wesson Vigil Commander. Custom OWB pancake (30 Degree cant) from GB Holster Company https://www.etsy.com/shop/GBHolsterCo
I also use the Defender IWB for the Vigil

George Bowers is a great craftsman and his prices are extremely reasonable. He's also easy to work with for a custom rig. His holsters are top notch!

Note: the custom IWB's are by a guy (Tom Meeks) who doesn't make holsters anymore.

My holsters are sturdy nylon sewn bags with belts. Each bag has a separate pouch for mags. Looks like a relatively small camera case. Super easy to take off and put on.

I like cheap & purple holsters:

I love the minimalist style single clip at top kydex holster. Mine is made by Ozark but he is no longer in business though others make the same type holster. It is very easy to take on and off my Beltman leather gun belt with the pistol in it to minimize pistol handling. This comes in handy if I need to disarm to go into a certain place where I can't CCW and then easy to put back on. After I get home it goes into pistol safe the same way - pistol in the holster. I prefer kydex as it does not absorb moisture, thin and light weight, great retention that is adjustable, does not collapse like leather can making holstering difficult on the belt, easy on the gun finish as the retention is done mostly at the trigger guard, and completely covers the trigger guard.

aarondhgraham · July 22, 2020, 02:38 PM

I decided to give the De Santis Pocket Shot holster a try.

I almost always wear Wal Mart blue jeans,,,
This fits the back pocket very nicely,,,
The Holster fits my LCP very nicely.

I was having back and leg pains,,,
They stopped when I started carrying my wallet in my front pocket.

That opened up the back pocket,,,
So far I've been very happy with this rig.

It's odd firing the LCP with it wrapped in leather,,,
But I practice at the range so it's getting more comfortable.

S&W 637 in a Remora holster.

OhioGuy · July 23, 2020, 08:29 AM

I like Vedder's products. However I still find that their claw attachment does not rise high enough to be fully contained under the belt. At times, on my Walther PPS, the claw got stuck under the belt-line and things got a little weird. I carry AIWB 99% of the time in a JM Custom Kydex "Wing Claw 2.5" holster. Love the thing. I have one for my PPS (my usual carry) and also my CZ P-07, although I carry it very rarely these days since it's kinda bulky.

I've never found it comfortable to carry a semi-auto behind my hip -- the angles seem all weird. But lately I've taken to carrying a J-frame revolver at 4:00 where it disappears nicely in a Concealment Express holster. As long as the grips are somewhat narrow, I just find that revolvers conceal way better behind the hip because the grips curve better and you can also conceal lower and still get a good grip on the gun.

But yeah I'd never hesitate to carry anything in a Vedder holster. I even have one of their t-shirts

(which I wear more often than their holster, but whatever).

Loupgarou · July 23, 2020, 10:45 AM

I will only EDC kydex, both for safety and because I live in South Florida, where it's very hot, except when it's really hot. And humid. Did I say it was hot? Well it is. Vedder and Tulster are among my top favorites at present. These are a couple of my Vedders. They're in Florida, so they know the weather score and I like the craftsmanship and fit.

I live in hot, muggy Oklahoma so what is the safety concern of not using anything but kydex? Don’t get me wrong, I like my kydex bare arms holster for my XDE Springfield but number one, I don’t like how it scratches the finish of the gun and number two, it’s plastic which means there’s no give to it at all. It can be rather uncomfortable.

I carry my p365 in a Concealment Express IWB holster. It carries and conceals well, light enough that I carry in a machine shop in Ga with no AC without issue. My S&W 360 is either in a Mika pocket holster, or a custom formed Kydex paddle holster from North Ga Holster Company

pete2 · July 23, 2020, 07:11 PM

I don't usually use a holster but on occasion a 5.00 Walmart nylon pocket holster. Usually just put the 642 in my pocket.

Milt Sparks Versa-Max 2 and Galco pocket holster.

jmr40 · July 25, 2020, 05:44 PM

It doesn't have to be complex or expensive. A lot of these holsters are bigger and bulkier than the gun that goes in them.

I have 2-3 holsters similar to this. Some a bit bigger. I slide it between my pants and hip at about 4 o'clock and wear it all day. I carried a Sig 365 this way on a 12 mile hike in some rugged terrain about a year ago. I wanted it to stay concealed since it was on a crowded trail in a National Park.

Wore my G19 the same way for 16 hours straight while riding an ATV and hiking in January. I was participating in a search for a missing person.

HighValleyRanch · July 25, 2020, 06:06 PM

Since no one has posted photos of any like these. These are my favorite minimalist holsters

The Kimber K6 is in a minimal kydex holster I made.
The Kahr PM9 is wearing a Boraii pocket holster.
The Kahr P45 is wearing a Raven Vanguard trigger holster
The Glock 21c is wearing a clip draw with a generic trigger holster.

All of these can be quickly modified to wear AIWB or ASOB (reverse grip)
(ASOB is almost small of back at 5 O'clock)

These are the holsters I use the most these days.

Almost always Vedder light tuck aiwb with claw, housing a P365. Like the added security of kydex totally encapsulating the trigger.

I'm waiting for mine to come in. This is the one I decided to go with for my P365 as I like the ability to adjust the height of the clip.
