Are you trying to conceal under a t-shirt? hoodie? jacket? parka?pistol, right, no preferance on the material or cant
I also wear a Safariland but only when wearing suits. I like it, and I have had no issues so far. The ALS models come with a paddle and a belt loop so you can experiment to see which suits you. It is not the most concealable thing in the world though, but that isn't a primary concern of mine. I carry a G17 MOS. Whenever possible, I wear my We The People IWB holster. I wear both at 3:00.Are you trying to conceal under a t-shirt? hoodie? jacket? parka?
Like, I've been happy enough with my Safariland holsters - they're sturdy, have adjustable retention, and provide good access to the grip - but wearing them under anything lighter than a soft shell or flannel jacket is hardly "concealed."
For just a hoodie, I'd go with something more like a pancake.
If you don't have a preference WRT cant - have you tried wearing OWB yet? Do you know where you want it? 3, 4, 5 o'clock all feel different, and may call for differences in angle...
yeah, I have a couple 5198s and an ALS or two, all mounted on the RTS hangers so I can switch them quickly onto my belt. The belt loop and paddle are a great way to get a feel for what you do and don't like.I also wear a Safariland but only when wearing suits. I like it, and I have had no issues so far.
