I need a new outside the waist holster for my G19. Not terribly impressed with what is available at my LGS. Any recommendations?
Kydex or leather? |

I have the Safarilamd 7TS ALS. Really like the holsters. I have one for my duty weapon and one for my Shield. Very fast to draw and has the auto retention that is deactivated with the thin when using a proper grip.

Are you going to need to take it of and on several times a day? Where do you want to carry (ETA: on your person)? Do you want a canted carry? What are you going to wear with it? Do you own a gun belt? |

Get the best of both kydex and leather, Garrett Industries leather lined kydex.

raven concealment phantom for a standard kydex style holster
safariland 6390 for a duty style |

What are you going to wear with it? Do you own a gun belt? View Quote Yes, I use proper gunbelts. I carry every day, I have for quite awhile. Not new to concealed carry, but the Glock is new to me, switching over from a 1911 as every day carry. I carried my Glock in a holster built by a local guy here.....not happy with it's quality. I typically like a straight up/down, but a few of my leather holsters do have a slight forward cant. Not a fan of paddle type holsters, and no I don't take it on/off throughout the day. |

For outside the waist band under an untucked shirt I like the Galco Quick Slide. It rests close to the body and i have no printing issues. It is fast on the draw and is extremely comfortable.

Based on your intended use, I'd recommend the Raven Concealment Phantom which is what use to conceal carry my G19 also.

Raven Concealment Phantom
Raven Concealment Vanguard Get both. |

+1 for Garrett Industries. I have more than a few of their products and love every one of them.
|
|
I could've gave you a recommendation for iwb but I don't carry owb unless I'm on duty. Definitely go kydex.
|
|
Another fan of Garrett Industries. I have 2 of their OWB holsters and they are excellent.
|
|
I use a Galco concealable for my G19 and for my Springfield RO.
|
|
Blackhawk SERPA. Just remember to blame IT in case you finger a Glock to early and shoot yourself.

Although I have broken a clip before putting the holster on after it had been sitting in the cold. I guess it made the kydex stiff and I kind of flexed it out a bit far that time on top of that. I opt for the heavy duty clip now. |

I have a bunch but for Outside carry but I really like the DeSantis Speed Scabbard. I've attended 4 of Mas Ayoobs advanced courses using it. It is fast and the fit is so good it stays in the holster during drills.

"40 Dollar Holster" by the Glock Store.
Good holster, good price. No drama. |

I got a Blackpoint Tactical recently and really like it. KYDEX® where you need it, leather where you want it. http://www.blackpointtactical.com/shop/quick-ship-leather-wing-holster/ |

Wright Leather Works Predator. I have a couple and will never own anything else. They are custom made and you have to wait a lengthy time but its been worth it every time i have ordered one. DO IT.

Also curious myself. Been eyeing the g-code osh rti but can't find any info on wait times,
|
|

If you want Kydex I'd go with JM Kydex, I have IWB and OWB for 1911's and Beretta 92's.
|
|
Find a local kydex guy to make you one. Be sure it has adjustable retention.

I'm very pleased with my StealthGear Oynx.
|
|
I just received a Garret Wilson Silent Thunder OWB for a 1911. Well made, great attention to detail, and am will probably order an IWB silent thunder for my G19.
What I like about it is that it's leather lined Kydex, which help keep finish wear to a minimum. |
|
For OWB, kydex
For IWB, leather I've had good experiences with Blade-Tech. Their Tek-Lock attachment is great. |
|
|
|
|
For OWB CC its hard to beat a Glock combat holster. Cheap too.

View Quote Holsterops burned me once and I won't do business with them anymore. |

Yeah, I'll jump on this train. I have several now after starting with a Morrigan which turned out to be the most comfortable and flexible IWB I've ever owned. It is as close to "you can't tell it's there" as it's possible to get.
Closer to what the OP is after, I have a Phantom and couldn't be happier with it. Quoted:
