Holster reqs?

I posted this in the Holster section, but I kinda get the feeling that is a low traffic area. Can I get some opinions? I would like an OWB (for now) holster for CCW and IDPA/IPSC. I've gotten some recommendations for the Blade Tech "Sting Ray", but as this is OWB, I was prefering something in black leather. Yeah, I know, if it's CCW it's not meant to be seen, but in some circumstances it will be.

When I either 1) lose weight, or 2) buy some bigger pants, I'll be looking at IWB, with the same criteria; for CCW and IDPA/IPSC legal. Howver, outward appearance is not a consideration.

Sorry for multi-posting, and thanks in advance for any advice.

 

LOL True, but I saw at least one other holster thread here, so I threw caution to the wind.

Still, if the mods decree this needs to move, just delete it. I've got one in the holster thread with a whopping two replies.

 

LOL I am not necessarily AGAINST Kydex....I really lack the experience to judge, but it's just so danged fugly. I had a Milt Sparks VersaMax 2 (for a 1911) I thought was gorgeous. Then I bought a Blade Tech....UCH I think....for a P228. It was uncomfy and ugly. I blame the uncomfy on the fact that there is little spare room in my pants and man, did that not sound right. LOL

Anyway, the IWB didn't work for me. So for OWB, I was thinking leather. I did notice though that the Stingray is IDPA approved...also had a nice double mag pouch. I may have to try them again. I just love the look of a nicely boned leather holster.

 

Oh, I'm with ya there PB. I don't have the coin to replace the....ummmmmmm.....at least 10 pairs of pants I own just to wear IWB! :shock: I wil definitely be going OWB.

I still like leather though. That Stingray holster...it's just so drab and featureless. I will have to do some thinking on this.

NO ONE has any leather OWB holster recommendations?

 

:lol: Makes noise???

If it's any consolation, I am looking at Comp-Tac, Blade Tech and Fobus right now.

 

I've never heard of leather making noise. I would've thought Kydex was noisier.
