So after much thought and research, I went with a G19 (I know, most would say its a no brainer and I wasted time thinking about it).  Bunch of guys in the store were pretty stoked to see me picking the G19 over the XD I was comparing it to.  Looking forward to a range trip later this week.

Need some help with a holster - both IWB and OWB (and probably a belt).  I am 5-7 and 150lbs (not sure if this limits me on holster selections).  Input welcome as I am a newbee to pistols.

Thanks

I carry a Comp-Tac MTAC IWB holster which seems to be really popular around here for a G19.  It's pretty comfortable and conceals well.  As far as OWB you might look into a  Raven concealment Phantom, it's been getting a lot of good reviews lately.

I tote my G19 IWB in a Milt Sparks Summer Special, comforable all day long. If you walk or run a lot in your daily routine, OWB is going to be more comfortable. Be sure to get a good belt to hold it up!

This and Raven for OWB carry.  I'm your height and about 165 so IWB carry should be no problem for you.  Get a good belt with either very thick leather or some Kydex reinforcement.  I haven't used the Cross Breed but I've heard good things.  What I don't like about the Cross Breed is that the belt clips (stock) have crosses cut out in them that IMO could be a giveaway that you have a holster on.

Good size pistol.  To bad you can only get 10 round mags up there in the communist north.

Serpas scare me.  I really liked mine but didn't want it to shoot me in the leg or get the button stuck so I'd have to cut it off of my GLOCK.  I think either scenario could be bad so in a box it sits.  I never think bad things will happen to me so I'll probably use it again.

Bladetech iWB and Serpa. thats what I use to carry my G23.

Bladetech IWB.  Careful with the Serpas.  There have been NDs with these during the draw because of where your index finger ends up when actuating the release mechanism.

i guess i can see how someone could f*ck up with the draw and shoot themselves. i press the release button with my finger straight. pressing it with the tip of your finger is a NO-NO!

The OP should be able to find some pre-bans for it!

Sweet!  I just got my first this past week as well.  Went and shot it today, super amped about it.

I have an M-TAC for my PX4, I think I'm going to get another kydex half body for the G17 and carry it in that.  I really like the M-TAC for my Beretta, I'm sure it'll be just as comfy with the Glock.

You made the right call.  And Serpa's rock, just don't conceal as well as some others.  The shoot yourself thing has always made me

Congrats man !  

I'll throw in another vote for the M-Tac, I'm wearing a 19 in one right now

Yep, just hang out in the forums and you'll find someone in the free country that will trade you for some new mags.   I traded a guy my two metal lined prebans, and he had some new one's shipped to me.

Thanks all for your input.  I agree, finding some pre-ban mags is a must for me.  Give me a holler if you have any you want to donate, trade, etc.
