Just picked up my first Glock this week, a Glock 19. You know its a good weapon when the guy standing next to you at the gun counter says, "great choice man, I have 12 of them." Anyway, I am researching holsters now and reading some posts in the archives. I'm looking for an IWB option that checks a few boxes:

1. Comfortable
2. Has adjustable cant
3. Somewhat breathable. Hard plastic polymer gets uncomfortable in an Alabama summer
4. Rides fairly high or is adjustable
5. Bonus points if can be worn OWB as well.

I conceal carry right now using a Desantis which is ok, but uncomforable after a while. Thoughts?

There's lots to choose from out there, here is one that might work for ya.?

Check out the Comp-Tac MTAC.  I tried a few holsters and evntually settled on this one. I have been carrying my G22 (same size as G19) in it for years.




 

I have used one for over 10years for my G32 and G19.  I do not use anymore only because they do not make one compatible with the XC1 weaponlight.

The following is just my opinion only.
While you may be able to complete everything on that list, it's a tall order.
Regarding iwb, I say this with a love of cc, there is no truly comfortable iwb at all, we were not born with a slot for it.
I have tried a number of things and what I come back to for iwb is size, smaller is better and feel against skin is important, fit for YOU is the most important.

The only way to find out is to try em, you will get a lot of recomendations here and elsewhere.
It gets hot in Eas Tex also and I only wear kydex due to safety (I feel it is superior to leather).
There are any number of things you can stick on the skin side of kydex to soften the feel, against skin.
The one that I have found that is cheap and easy and can be replaced at a moments notice would get me laughed out of this thread..

Also belt is just as critical as the holster, you HAVE to have a good gun belt.
With all of that being said, I am gonna go to owb when possible for one thing only, comfort, will wear a loose fit baggy shirt.
I can't cc at work so cc is only about 30% of my time.
Got a steriod shot 2 days ago in my right hip for an inflamed bursa, Doc lady suggested I move my holster for awhile, I carried it in with me.
It sits 1" above the painful area, so definitely a possible connection.

Sorry for the long ass post but people need to understand, not one fits all and every one of us is built differently.
I wish you a great holster hunt, and hope you find what fits YOU.

I use contact concealment and have used an arfcomer..good medicine..great guy
These are just basic kydex though, where I take classes, kydex is mandatory last I heard.

Good luck and Glocks are great.

Raven Eidolon.

It does everything you want, except the breathable part. I live in Louisiana and deal with, so suck it up, buttercup

MTAC G-19 here as well...

Well now I'm curious.  What's the secret?  If it works who cares if folks laugh?



 

Buddy of mine uses the soft side of Velcro strips in hot spots.

Interested as well......

I used moleskin on a comptac ctac holster before changing to the mtac. Moleskin works well on holster hotspots..

Love both my Aliengear tuck 3.0....  Wear them all day most days and even on hot days it's comfortable.   Don't like the feel of sweaty leather and hate that they seem to squeak when moving around.  Haven't tried their OWB though.

I'm keeping my man card no matter how hard I get ridiculed, and remember you asked:

There are a variety of multiple sized (length) and thickness of a self adhesive backed ultra soft device designed to go against a sensitive area of the female anatomy, that all men love.
They are dirt cheap and peel right off, leaving no residue, all other gauze's,  moleskin,  and such soak up sweat, get dirt and grime eventually.

So raid the bathroom cabinet tonight and leave your wife asking WTF are you doing.
If a guy would change the color and shape and rename them, you could market the heck out of em.

With that said, I'm leaving work and headed to the range for some practice.

No worries what works works..... After I had my nose surgery to straighten it back up the doctor stuffed what appeared to be tampons up my nose.  Pretty disgusting when they were pulled out and I asked if they were the heavy flow version.  Luckily he had a really good sense of humor.

ETA I kind of figured it was maxi pads with your previous comment.  
My finances uses my razors because they are better than the female ones.

Awesome! I'm going to figure out how to dye them multi-cam and make a fortune...


Your man-card is safe as far as I'm concerned.  I remember threads about how to use tampons for bandages, water filters, tinder, and etc.  If it works use it!

Comp-tac but I recommend the CTAC

I also have been liking the Blackpoint Tactical recently the Leather Wing and Mini Wing


ETA just added a 19 to my collection this week.  

I thought of that or the Morrigan.  But honestly, a Phantom will do both IWB and OWB exceptionally well.  I have one set up with soft loops and one set up with OWB loops.

What are you using now as a replacement?

Thanks for all the feedback. Who makes this one? Definitely going to have to try a few out and find whats right. I like designs where there isn't a top flap that can fold over when drawn making it hard to reholster. The Raven Eidolon looks interesting an highly configurable.

Best IWB holster on the market IMHO

Alien Gear makes a decent copy, but the kydex is thicker and not as well formed.  I also prefer the leather backing.

It is made by G-Code that particular one is the INCOG Shadow XC1

The Comp-Tac holster I have
M-Tac

I got mine cut to fit any size frame Glock in the 9/40/357 slide.

Another +1 for the MTAC

PJ IWB is the best.

I gotta add a +1 for the Gcode Incog/shadow holster.  I love the fit and retention on the firearm, I have the shadow for the Surefire XC-1 with the tactical fuzz and it makes a huge difference in the comfort of carrying.  I carry all the time when not at work with my G19 w/XC1 combo in the hot Georgia summers and this was the first holster that the firearm disappeared with.

Gcode HSP Incog is my first choice (although I usually carry a Glock 26 in one made for a Glock 19). MTAC is my second choice.

Lately I've been almost exclusively AIWB carrying so I've been sticking with the Incog. I like it so much I sometimes "open" carry with it at the range instead of using an OWB holster. I also occasionally use it for 3:30 carry as well but like I said, pretty much only carrying appendix these days.

They currently have them in stock as a quick ship item from their website and are usually in stock at haleystrategic.com as well. Travis Haley's video reviews of the holster are great to watch too. Might talk you into it.

You'll prob be like most of us and end up with several holsters for different occasions. I actually use a Raven Vanguard II at 3:30 on my hip and it works great for short trips, with shorts and a Tshirt. I also have an Alien Gear IWB that I wear if I am going to have the gun on me for longer periods of time. Of course you'll need a good kydex OWB as well, I use KT Mech and have been very happy with their stuff.

I second stealthgear
