    Ordered a kydex for my Sig 365 from concealment express. IWB with a sweatgaurd. It's OK, the sweat gaurd will pinch a bit carrying appendix while sitting or driving. The retention is good also.

    JM Custom Kydex G19 holster for my Shadow Systems MR920 with Streamlight TLR-7.

    ANR Design for my CZ SP-01 with TLR-7.

    Alien Gear Shape shift kit for my Glock 20

    Safariland Pro-Fit for my CZ P10C and Shadow Systems DR920 that will also hold the previous mentioned G20, MR920 and SP01(without the lights) It will also sort of holster 1911s and my Ruger 57 but they'll wiggle a bit.

    I also have a Blade Tech 1911 holster that doesn't get much use anymore.

    Spending much more time sitting in unmoving traffic made me realize that drawing a Sig 938 at 3:00 position from a seated position is not as easy as it may need to be if an emergency arises.
    I just purchased a DeSantis Criss-Cross for an LCP 2 which I have been wearing at an 11 o'clock position.
    This places the gun right in my lap as I am in the truck. Maynot be the best fighting tool, but it gives me a bit of time to be able to get the Sig from under my vest.

    I wear my S&W SD9ve in a Blackhawk, Serpa retention holster.
    I can draw effortlessly but unless a perp knows the holster, he won't be able to take it away from me. I also have the option to wear it on my belt or over the belt on a paddle.

    I got in a kick with minimalistic holsters w/o backing for the slide & grip.
    The hard plastic digs into my groin & ribs sitting down or driving.

    If I'm going to be away from the house for a number of hours I go back to my N8 Tactical Tuckable holsters that have a leather backing everywhere protecting me from being bit in my groin & ribs.
    I have a new appreciation for those holsters!

    My preference is Safariland ALS OWB. Unfortunately they do not make a version which is computational with a S&W M&P 2.0 9mm with an optic.

    If anyone has a suggestion for the above pistol in a level 2 holster similar to the Safariland ALS, with thumb deactivation for the retention, I appreciate your feedback.

    I love the N8 Tactical tuckable IWB holsters.
    They were recommended to me by someone from this forum (feel free to speak up!).
    I was looking for a tuckable holsters with a full leather backing for the grip as well as the slide/barrel.

    B/C of my inexperience, I mistakenly thought I had to have a full leather backing for the grip & not just for the slide to protect my tender sides, haha!
    All that changed when I bought a SW 360 PD revolver.
    It came with a Stealth Gear AIWB holster that was extremely slim in tis profile & undetectable.

    First, there was the unexpected bonus that the holster was tuckable.
    Then, the design with one clip being in front of the cylinder kept its profile thin.
    The slim profile was enhanced by the lack of a leather backing for the grip.
    Since its profile is so undetectable for the revolver, I had to consider it for my semi-auto SW MP Shield PPC.

    For the SW MP Shield 9 Plus Performance Center I found a Crossbreed Appendix Carry/AIWB holster with the same design.
    Stealth Gear didn't have an AIWB with only 1 clip anymore, but only came with two clips now.
    The pics say it all & I'm just thrilled.

    I have used tree arms and amazon kydex and they are all relatively the same. Very similar features and amazon of course has a great return policy

    In the country, hopefully.
    My preference is Safariland ALS OWB. Unfortunately they do not make a version which is computational with a S&W M&P 2.0 9mm with an optic.

    If anyone has a suggestion for the above pistol in a level 2 holster similar to the Safariland ALS, with thumb deactivation for the retention, I appreciate your feedback.
    I have sat and stared at a nice lined ALS holster trying to figure out how you could make it fit an optic.
    To add insult to injury, they do offer optic ready QLS retention in optic ready, but only in a light bearing holster. (Will retain with or without the light)

    You can go with the pro fit series, but I haven’t found one that’s lined.

    I just really like that thumb release.

    i carry my P365 in a Sticky Holster. I just throw it in my front waistband and away I go. I'm not concerned about re-holstering, if I have to draw it.
    It's also pretty comfortable. I can wear it while sitting, with no problem. Sometimes I've even forgot it's there. As long as I have been carrying, it just feels natural.

    I've settled on Bravo Concealments. I'm not opposed to looking at others, but why pay more?

    Bravo's buy one get one has made the decision to have a backup weak hand rig or two pistols on the belt easy.
    i have been using them for years. Warranty and service is top notch. They don't make them inhouse anymore though, it's outsourced. have them iwb and owb, with and without light.

    I have been using this trigger guard holster with my smallest CC gun, the Kahr CM9 for the past 3 weeks.
    I have the usual stockpile of bags of holsters.
    I found this one that came with one of the Kahr pistols I'd bought & never used it.
    I pocket carry (with a pocket holster) with this Kahr, & sometimes the Taurus GX4 or a Ruger LCR .38 special.
    I found that when it comes to minimalistic carry, this trigger guard has worked brilliantly.
    I guess I should look in my bags of holsters more often, haha!
