Quoted: What's the difference between a Belt Loop, J-hook and Belt Hook? Which do I want?
What do you guys think of plain ol' "Uncle Mike's" Holsters?

Belt Loop - you have to unbuckle your belt and slide it on - Bianchi 105 is a belt loop High quality - heavy leather. (you can find them at Gander Mountain) - I like it for easy access to the firearm.
Belt hook - Slips over your belt and can be removed without removing your belt. Vega has a soft leather, rough side out, ambidextrious (IB331) about $25.00 probably as comfortable an IWB as there is. I found mine at a gun show but some searching on the internet will find them. Best that I own for concealed wear.
Paddle - Fobus has a contured pad that slips over and catches on the inside of your belt/pants that is attached to a molded plastic holster - easy to put on, somewhat difficult to remove in that they have a "notch" that captures the inside of your pants/belt. Holster conforms to the pistol and you have pull hard to "release" the pistol from the holster.
Uncle Mikes are good utilitarian holsters but do not hold the pistol as close to the body as the Bianchi for example.
