Good Walther holster
Okay, I have a PPQ that I generally carry in my edc bag. But I'm looking for a good, quality holster. I'm looking for comfort more than anything. I'm open to IWB or OWB. I purchased a Foebus holster and it's no good. It's an OWB VPQ model (I think). About a third of the time I'm drawing it pulls right up with the PPQ. Definitely not something I'd trust my life with.
What do you guys use? |

Have you tried adjusting retention on the Fobus holster first? When I draw a pistol I kind of snap it out of the kydex holder rather than a slower draw even with retention set to what I like.

I am a Vedder holster convert. I love the light tuck IWB and the OWB is pretty good too.
Well made, thin Kydex and reasonably priced. Looks like they carry Walther PPQ too. |

Tightening/loosening the retention doesn't seem to matter. It appears the ledge that is supposed to keep the holster under the belt isn't enough to keep the holster in the waistband.
I hope that makes sense. |

"...it pulls right up with the PPQ..." Likely the belt you have. The belt is as important as the holster.

I don't have first hand experience with Black Arch holsters, and would love to hear from anyone that has, since you mention comfort is a priority their dual clip IWB Protos-M holster may be worth a look. The 3/4 hybrid construction looks very interesting as it would increase retention over a typical hybrid holster. https://www.blackarchholsters.com/co...ducts/protos-m

I've tried several and have landed on a Safariland Kydex holster with a thumb release. I'm not fond of holsters with releases but this one is natural and I don't notice. A bit large, as is the pistol, but it is smooth to draw from.

I also have the above Safariland http://www.safariland.com/products/h...0.html#start=4 and like it quite a bit. I use it for several of my 9mm's and the release paddle is pretty intuitive. For IWB I like the N82 https://n82tactical.com/product-cate...s-walther-ppq/ It is the most comfortable holster that I have used for this type of carry. Works well for hip and cross draw appendage carry. I have the original and it also works on several of my other 9mm's with no adjustment.
