    What holster I’m using depends on what im carrying. For my semi auto its a silent thunder by garret industries leather lined kydex. Love it.

    but the one I carry the most?

    Desantis super fly. Have one for my 642. Because my ass is shaped like an egg and my suspenders are currently in for repair…

    For OWB I have run CompTac holsters for a 1911, 226 and an fn45 tac and have really loved their profile and retention. I tossed their belt mount and tacked it onto a safariland mount. Never looked back.

    I just bought a Forged Tech holster for my TX22C. One of the only companies making one for that pistol. Decent holster and great customer service. The x-lok for it didn't click into place well and though I didn't ask for one, they sent me a replacement out right away.

    I just though since they weren't using a top name brand clip it was just a quality issue but after getting the replacement I realized that I had gotten a "bad" one. They are good to go.

    The other holster I recently purchased was a Tulster OWB to replace my broken Bravo for my Shield. The Tulster is nice. Rides high and tight, minimal and the retention adjustment is nice.

    I just had my employer order one of their (CompTac)duty holsters for me. I'm hoping it's not too difficult to pull of their belt mount and attach it to a Safariland UBL or QLS so I can change out holsters to one of my regular duty holsters when I need to. I can always make some sort of adapter, but the simpler (and fewer pieces) the better.

    I was able to connect with no adapter. I MIGHT have drilled one hole to make it line up or bored out a hole or two to make the hardware fit. If memory serves me correctly they have the universal holes to mount to just about anything.

    I used to have a guy that made all my holsters for carrying off duty, but he had sort of a falling out I guess you could say. What i have now is an old Raven Concealment OWB holster i've had for years. My apendix holsters are Tier 1 concealed Xyphos for my G19 and an Eclipse AIWB holster for my G48. I'm not really brand loyal, but he Tier 1 is nicer than the Eclipse. I think Tenicor will be next when I need to get another holster for a G19/45 with TLR-1 HL on it (vs the TLR7 that's on my 19 now).

    I use a cheap DeSantis Pegasus to carry my Shield. For my CZ P10-C I use a Crossbreed for IWB and a Black Rhino Concealment for OWB.

    Still using Alien Gears 3.5 iwb holsters.
    I've had them for over 5 years now, and still the most comfortable of all of what seems like hundreds of holsters I've tried from $20-250.

    Outside waistband I'm using @freekforge 1911 holster and 1791 holsters.

    I got an IWB and an OWB from Eclipse Holsters. Owner Jessica is amazing and friendly and they have a 3 day turnaround time. They have some belts, dump trays, etc also. Lots of choices. BF9E44C7-2630-4D45-B22F-43E9AD131EBC.jpeg

    Also have a sweet Bitterroot Gunleather holster for my WC.

    I do have a few crossbreed holsters myself. The three main ones I use are:

    Crossbreed Supertuck for my Springfield XDM Compact (I would call this my summer carry) My only complaint that I have is that the screw on the jclip comes loose semi often and I have to re-tighten it for fear of losing it.

    Crossbreed Mini Tuck for my Taurus 709 Slim (Only time i really wear this is when I have to dress up a bit)

    Galco Miami Classic II Shoulder Rig (I wear this mostly in the winter, especially since I can carry a flashlight in one of the mag pouches)

    Leather Galco all day. Do cartwheels and stays in place.
    all day. You

    I typically order a Kramer OWB Scabbard in horsehide for anything that gets carried a lot. They hold the gun nice and close to my side and have great retention.

    Lately, though, I've been buying kydex holsters for guns I carry when doing physical labor. I've scratched a few horsehide holsters up while crawling around on concrete under a car.

    My current go to holsters are a Desantis pegasus slim tuck for my glock 43 appendix, phlster city special for my S&W 340PD appendix and wilderness tactical renegade for 340pd ankle carry. Any OWB carry for duty sized guns I'm using some variation of safariland als on a their paddle attachment.
