| I have a eidolon holster for it, I like it but I just realized I am to fat for appendix carry. I am starting to think I might need a OWB holster. I am looking at Bravo and raven but is there ant others I should look at, leather maybe? I am trying to lose my stomach. I also have a G17 and a P226 that I would like to carry also so any help would be great. Can I use the eidolon for 9 O'clock carry iWB? |

Thanks guys I saw in a video that the Eidolon is good if you take the claw and the nub off of it for IWB, I am still looking though. Oh yeah, although most of us use the Eidolon for appendix, you can wear it pretty much anywhere by changing the small parts.

Take the claw and the nub off right? |

My LGS has been carrying Blackpoint Tactical Holsters and I'm pretty impressed with their Leather Wing holsters. currently use Comp-Tac, Badetech, and Raven for various guns but, the next time I'm in the market for a holster, I may give them a try.

Safariland 7TS 7377 with ALS locking system. If you want OWB, this is the way to go.
I sold all my Raven Concealment Phantom holsters that I was using for OWB. This is a much better design, and the ALS locks it in place, more secure for OWB carry (very fast draw as well). It's made of a better material than Kydex. It's an nylon blend and it's completely non-abrasive to a firearm's finish. (just a cool little bonus) You can order with or without a light... I got mine for a G19 with Surefire X300U. https://www.safariland.com/products/holsters-and-gear/holsters/concealable-holsters/belt-slide/model-7377-7ts-als--concealment-belt-slide-holster-34850.html |

Take the claw and the nub off right? I want to say yes? I haven't messed with the different configurations that much but it seems pretty intuitive. |

It's plastic, costs about $15, and looks cheap as hell, but it's comfortable, keeps the gun close in to your side for concealment, and just plain works. |

I will look into them and the Mtac for the 17 |

I also have a couple from a dealer on ebay - tr holsters. I really like them. Just ordered a OWB for G19 with TLR-1 for $45.50. They are excellent holsters. |

Take the claw and the nub off right? They make an ambi version, my guess is that would work for you. Or maybe you can get them left handed as well, its been a long time and I cant remember. But you can definitely make it work for a lefty. |

Leather conforms better than any other material IMO Looks at a Galco Concealable. This right here. I have a Galco for every gun I've ever carried, except for my VP9. They're reasonably priced and they've all survived what I've put them through. I currently use a Galco Combat Master to carry my G19. |

Most legit holster companies have significant lead times (4+ weeks). Bravo is probably best for an OWB holster that you can get quickly. Rush order Glock 19 holster, $70. |

Thank you but they dont do rush order for lefties, I have called and begged them. I bought the Bianchi 57 the gun is really tight in it, maybe I am just used to Kydex. Bit I did notice that the Eidolon is good for my 19 and 17 and I have a DOS and a RTT for the my P226, I will also look at the Galco holsters. I love the tan ones, especially the Fletch but hate that it is not open top, I would be all over it. |

Not the same belt. Ranger belt uses a cobra buckle, while the Aegis uses an Aegis buckle. The way the buckles work and their profile is very different. Quoted:

Ares Ranger or Aegis belt They are both the same belt, but the Aegis has a better "look" to it. Not the same belt. Ranger belt uses a cobra buckle, while the Aegis uses an Aegis buckle. The way the buckles work and their profile is very different. Yes, obviously the buckle is different. This is what gives it a "simpler look". Other than that, it is the same belt. From their website: "The Aegis belt was released in 2013 for customers who wanted a belt with the same performance as our Ranger belt, but a simpler "look". Like the Ranger, the Aegis is 1.5" wide, and is composed of 2 layers of the same proprietary scuba webbing" |

I bought the same one for my 19 as a "temporary" OWB set-up until my JM arrives. It's actually a decent holster and made by the Safariland group. Price point is better than Galco and you're basically getting the same thing: a mass production leather holster. |
