So recently scored a PDP 4.5” and I’m looking to get an OWB holster for it. This will be for the range, but depending on how I like it maybe an around the house/yard work carry.

I want a paddle mount for easy on and off. I have a Safariland for a Glock 19 I used to have and the ability to put that on and because of the paddle design it was very secure on my belt, but then easy to take off when I had to. I know Safariland has holsters specific to the PDP but it was also just a very bulky holster in general so I’m looking at getting a custom kydex and attaching a paddle to that instead.

Now I already have a Safariland paddle that I can scavenge from that holster, but I’m also wondering if there are any better options? I saw Blade Techs paddle, which has a similar design of a ledge on the holster body that snags onto the belt, but are there any others out there I’ve missed?

Most of the other designs I’m seeing have either feet or ledges on the paddle that are intended to grab from the paddle side. That seems much less stable/secure vs the paddle in the pants/ledge on holster body.

I have been very happy with Bravo Concealment

I’ve tried several, but I still like safari land better than any thing else.  They do sits little wide on the hip but have great retention and don’t flop around.

Have been carrying a We the People paddle for a couple of weeks.  Pretty happy with it so far, and they aren't very expensive.

I like G Code if they make one for the Walther. Watchdog Tactical is a favorite company as well.

SAFARILAND HAS SEVERAL DIFFERENT MODELS. SOME ARE MORE LOW PROFILE.

NM, saw other thread where you mentioned they don't make the Gravity for the PDP
