Iwb on my hip is what i was thinkingyou gonna try to wear it IWB or AIWB?
Kydex or leather or both?
there are hundred (probably thousands) of guys making Kydex holsters.
Vedder, Garrett (leather lined!), Blackpoint, and on and on and on......................
probably the #1 or maybe #2 thing is: Get a GOOD CCW level belt!!!!!!!!!
Personally a big fan of Kore or Nexbelt. Regular crappy belts are not good.
Also, if you think you're going to add a RedDot or so, make sure your holster of choice
can be ordered w/ an appropriate cutout for it
You have the Kore slide belt? Which one?
Been looking at those, I have the groove life belt which is super comfy but not strong enough for anything other that micro carry (p365).
I have 8 dollar slide belts that holds up just fine with full size guns with standard magsYou have the Kore slide belt? Which one?

I don't like leather now i have a kid and chase his ass around all the time. Kydex definitely holds it in better in my opinionBasic holster, no retention?
I like the DeSantis basic leather IWB holsters, they are cheap enough but hold the gun tight in the holster
Holsters are really subjective.... but what all of them have in common is they need a good sturdy belt to do their job

Good news! This has nothing to do with having a gut, and everything to do with having a body. Even when I call myself fat, nobody has ever accused me of having a gut.I have 8 dollar slide belts that holds up just fine with full size guns with standard mags
Gotta get the nylon ones though. The leather ones misform especially if you have a gut which i did for a while
You can avoid that with most belts if you flip it every other day when you wear itGood news! This has nothing to do with having a gut, and everything to do with having a body. Even when I call myself fat, nobody has ever accused me of having a gut.
This is my Hank's Amish belt:

Leather is shaped with heat, pressure, and moisture. Wearing a belt applies all three.
In the PRO column: with time, your belt will fit to your body. This makes your pants hang better, and feel more natural as you move.
In the CON column: you eventually have a C-shaped belt that may have trouble holding up your gun.
I'm afraid that wearing it inside out will cause significant distraction. I fumble enough as it is.You can avoid that with most belts if you flip it every other day when you wear it

No sorry, I mean thread it through your pants left to right one day and then right to left the next day.I'm afraid that wearing it inside out will cause significant distraction. I fumble enough as it is.
I got that. I was fumbling at being funny.No sorry, I mean thread it through your pants left to right one day and then right to left the next day.
I had one. It never worked for me. YMMV.Leather: Milt Sparks Versa Max (VM) II - hands down the most comfortable IWB holster you’ll ever own/use!
That’s why there’s a shit ton of holster makers out there - everyone has different likes/dislikes… My suggestions were just that - suggestions based on my experience.I had one. It never worked for me. YMMV.
And mine as well. I didn't say the VM2 was a bad holster, just that it didn't work for me.That’s why there’s a shit ton of holster makers out there - everyone has different likes/dislikes… My suggestions were just that - suggestions based on my experience.
