So I am finally wearing out my cheap Uncle Mike's holster and am in need of some ideas for a new more better holster.  The price was right at the time i bought this holster, but I think its time to get some thing nicer and safer.  A G23 is what normally resides on my person when I carry.  Sometimes on my light days i will pull the wife's beretta 85fs out of the safe, but thats rare.  Only real requirements are that it needs to be somewhat comfortable, and I would like to be able to run with it when need be (like short distances, not exercise) as I cannot do that with out fear of my concealedness being compromised with the uncle mikes.  Any thoughts?

I used to carry my G23 in a Milt Sparks EX holster but I've changed over to a Low-Rider IWB from www.rmholsters.com/  I really prefer kydex now that I'm used to it.  It conceals better than any other holster I've tried and it retains well without slowing the draw too much.

I daily carry a Glock 30 in a Safariland 527. Every now and then I'll carry the 21 instead in the same holster.

Best holster I've ever owned, very comfy, and price is right.

I just had to decide the same thing.  It was time for a new holster.  something comfortable, secure, well concealed, IWB, not take a year to get, and less than $100.

I ended up ordering a Crossbreed Super Tuck.  I just found many positive reviews on it.  
it met all of my needs and style of carry.  Im sure you can run with it, comfortably.  I go running with a cheapo IWB.  If I can survive that, this will be cotton candy.  theres also a 10% off your order sale right now too.

It was between this holster and the Comp-Tac MTAC

I decided on the ST because the backing material is thinner, more reviews (especially reviews for my exact gun), and I like to keep things simple. and the clips appear more secure.

 Im really looing forward to it.

My carry holster is the CTAC and I love it. At forst I was skeptical about it because it is all polymer. I was worried about it digging in on my side but I was completely wrong. I can wear the holster all day long without any issues. The best part is that you can tuck a shirt in during the summer and still carry;l no more big over shirt to comceal the weapon.

Lynn and I both use kydex holsters from FIST www.fist-inc.com/holsters/

They do pretty good work at a reasonable price. They also don't have a problem with custom work. BSW

Crossbreed Supertuck

Comp-Tac MTAC


I have both the crossbreed supertuck for my Sig 232 and a C-Tac MTAC for my Sig 239.  I've carried the Crossbreed for much longer than the MTAC, since I just got the MTAC last night.  

Everything is true about the Crossbreed.  Incredibly comfortable, very thin backing, low profile.  You can wear it against skin and forget it's there.

I will say I'm very impressed by the MTAC so far.  Super high quality, much better at first blush than the Crossbreed.  However, the higher construction quality results in a bigger holster (besides the fact that a 239 is bigger than a 232).

Long term I intend to carry the 239 much more than the 232, for caliber alone (.40 vs .380).  But sometimes comfort is more critical, and the Crossbreed has certainly proven itself comfortable.

If you ony have one holster, Bladetec.

Leather is nice if you have a colleciton like me, but I always go back to my Bladetec.

I just bought a G19 this week, so no VM2 yet (26 weeks to go).  But I do wear VM2's for every other gun that I belt carry.  It's been the most comfortable holster I've ever worn.  I do have a CTAC coming for my G19 to hold me over till Milt Sparks ships.
