I have, for many years now, had one of the shameful Uncle Mike's style nylon, one-size-fits-all holsters on my "in case of emergency belt". I've got AR and pistol mag carriers on one side, and the holster of shame on the other. It's one of those heavy-duty police style belts that come with the Blackhawk tac vests. I'm looking for a holster to put on there that will, if such a thing exists, also do double duty as a paddle holster I can use for OWB carry on the rare occasions I might do that. Pistol would probably be a G19, maybe a 92fs.
Belt is like this, only in OD Green. Thanks.

lots and lots of places to look around.... look at the banner ubove with all the sponsors to start.
I like this setup as well for a duty/ range/ war belt - http://shop.blade-tech.com/holster-wtaclight-c-1_23_25.html |

I suspect that belt is 1 3/4" or 2" wide and that your other belts you would use for OWB carry are 1.5" or 1.25".
Point being you're going to be hard pressed to find one that works properly for both. There are of course holsters with interchangeable attachments but the idea of swapping hardware every time you want to use a different belt is tedious at best. I would plan on picking up 2 holsters, and would also give consideration to the one for the duty belt being a retention holster of some sort. |

Does the width of the belt matter with a paddle holster? It doesn't clip on to anything, right? Just secured by the paddle that goes inside your waistband? I figured the problem with the duty belt and a paddle holster would be that the belt would be too thick to fit between the paddle and the body of the holster, but I really have no idea (hence this thread).

That's a duty belt 2.25". Paddle will work.

Most have some sort of tabs or ears that protrude away from the body and below the belt to help keep it on your body when you draw. If they sit half an inch below the bottom of the belt you're likely to get a lot of shifting & potentially draw the gun and holster rather than just the gun. The other issue is that a paddle won't actually be secured to the belt. And in my mind, one of the nice things about a duty / war / range belt is that you can grab the whole thing as a unit with one hand rather than having to carry multiple items individually. |

That's true, and I've got that now with the holster of shame. I'm willing to sacrifice a wee bit of speed to get the versatility. |

If you want to go super cheap, take a look at Tagua.
