Quote HistoryQuoted: Anyone here think the G48 with S15 mags is a whole lot easier to carry than the G19? I’ve got a few G19s and thinking about trading one for a G48 setup. Absolutely not. Height is the same, length is the same. You’re talking about a whopping 3oz more to carry the G19 and .24” width. I know some will argue with 1/4” is a difference in width in your pants but I’ve got news for you, it isn’t. You expand many times that after drinking a soda or beer, eating, having a full bladder or just having a solid turd moving through. Personally I wouldn’t trust a 43X or 48 with shield mags for anything. Way too many reports of people still having function issues with even the gen 2 mags for me to even consider it. |

Most every review I’ve seen have indicated several hundred to a couple thousand rounds with no issues. I mean, .24” is kind of a big deal... I have a G19 and 4.25” Compact 1911 (with thin grips) in my carry rotation. They are basically the same height/length but the 1911 is about 1/8” thinner with rounder contours and comfort is much nicer in comparable carry styles across the board. I probably would have went G48 over a year ago, but a 10+1 9mm midsize doesn’t interest me when there are quality 10+1 subcompacts and 15+1 midsize pistols. If I’m going to carry a <10 round midsize, it’s going to need to be In 45 or best mm to offset the capacity loss. |

Lots of posts on Reddit and FB groups of people having issues with them, no they are not reliable. Even some of the YouTubers claiming reliability (and not showing malfunctions at least) you can seem them wiggling the gun on reloads and ripping mags out to get them to drop free which is pretty comical. I’d stick to what you have and what you know works. |

I carry my G19 in an appendix inside the waist holster. The RCS claw helps a lot at keeping it from printing.

Ignore the posts that say there is only one choice, or at least that part. Holsters are VERY subjective, and everyone's body type is different.
Your choice of belt is VERY important. I personally prefer a 1.5" stiff leather belt. I have both Hank's and Beltman. I don't care for the "rigger's" style, but some do, but again, you want quality and as much "stiffness" as you are comfortable with. |

I've carried my G17 AIWB with a Raven Vanguard 2, and you'd be shocked how easily it hides with that little guy.
Other than that, I've got a Phlster Pro for a G48 and love it. If you're going IWB, I would not buy anything that does not have a wing or some mechanism to aid in driving the grip frame in to your body, it makes all the difference for me personally. |

Measure your true waist, add a few inches. The good thing about the Kore belt (besides its stiffness) is that you measure twice and cut it down to size. I ended up trimming it once conservatively and then once again. |

I currently have mine in a random kydex IWB/OWB (depending on the loops you put on it) and carry anywhere from 2-4 depending on attire/activity. I wish it had more curve and wasn’t so flat for 3-o’clock iwb. I mean, you are carrying a brick in it. I love me some Glock magwell, but JMB (PBUH) did manage to make a semi-auto pistol a century ago that wasn't square. |

I have 3 different holsters for my P10C. Each one has its good and bad points and all of them get used at different times for different reasons. As much as I would like to wear a good conventional leather belt, I use a Kore for the fine adjustments. A conventional belt always seems to be a little tight or a little loose. I can get the ratchet belt exactly where I need it. |

I carry a CZ P07 every day. If its just daily carry, I have a cheap IWB holster that I really like, Concealment Express I think is the brand, good soft loops, quality holster and not too thick. If at night or dark places I have a holster for the gun with an Olight PL2-mini, I got it from MI Holster co. and the damn thing is a work of art. I carry a stock 16 rounder in the gun for a total of 17 rounds, and a 20 round extended reload.

Quote HistoryQuoted: IWB somewhere around 4:00 to 5:00 Comp-Tac Infidel Ultra holster (Leather back, kydex front, single clip for easy on and off without removing gun from holster, but not tuckable if that matters.) Also, the kydex is replaceable if you decide to switch guns. My son used the above holster for his G22 on the job for years. I preferred the same without the leather back for my G3 19. Depending on the weapon choice a Vedder Light Tuck is my go to. Good Luck |

Check out the Black Arch Protos M holster. For IWB holsters, they are all I will buy anymore. I've got comptacs, stealthgear, garrett silent thunder, crossbreed, etc, but the protos M is a step above in terms of retention and comfort.

Glock 19 Gen 5/RMR, Phlster Pro series, Aries Ranger Belt is my favorite. Actual everyday carry in a fairly professional job in a major city for several years. Before that it was the same gun with a Phlster Classic, before that a Skeleton. Untucked Eddie Bauer expedition flannel or button-down. Tucked in with a vest if its cold out. I also find that a quality pair of pants helps. I like PRana Brions. I find the easiest way to carry a gun like that everyday is to have a "uniform" (same stuff every day.)
Weekends kickin around with the fam in the country it's a G43 in a skeleton. Same pants t shirt. Keeping it consistent makes it feel natural. Always AIWB. |

I've downsized from a Glock 23 to a 26. If I want 15 rounds, it takes Glock 19 mags. If I'm worried about sight radius, I can have the slide cut for an RMR.

I've used the Crossbreed supertuck for a while. It was comfortable, but I went with a Comp-tac MTAC when I changed my ccw gun, and I have loved it. Super comfortable, tuckable, will work with an optic if you cut the plastic. Only downside is they don't make that model for use with a weapon light. So, I tried out Crossbreed's LDS2.0 and I absolutely hate it. The leather is way too stiff and hard, and it doesn't help that there's a bunch of fasteners holding the kydex to the leather. So, I am still trying to find an alternate to it.
