Haven't seen these mentioned here before. Anyone have any experience with them?
The last couple years, I've almost completely stopped carrying IWB, found with the right high riding holster and cover garment you can conceal OWB well enough, and it's a ton more comfortable. Used to go with leather, before kydex was popular, loved the Desantis speed scabbard, but it does take more maintenence, squeaks, and it flexes, which can be good or bad depending on where it flexes. I found a local company that made a great Kydex holster, Vigi-tac, they are similar to the Raven Hackathorn design, but have several improvements. They were sold through Trop gun shop, molded 80/20 most of the shape is twards the outside, they ride really high and close, the holster is shaped well to clear controls, good adjustable retension with a fast draw after snapping the pistol loose, no squeaks or rattles. My G27 holster barely hangs below the belt line, it conceals under a polo shirt, even the G19 holster conceals well, hangs down about the same as my old leather G27 holsters did. The rigidity of kydex is what allows the pistol to sit so high, and practically requires a stiff reinforced belt to help pull the grip inward. The holster isn't molded to the exact gun shape, and fully contains the muzzle, so even if a little pokes out, it doesn't scream "gun". Only downside is the guy stopped making them, but Trop bought the equipment, and molds holsters on-site, and any of the old pre-molded holsters are on a near permenent 50% off (about 30-$40 now).
This seems to be a good place to ask: When removing a leather holster from a belt, do you unsnap the loops or run the belt through them? I prefer the former, but fear that over time the loops will crack from continuous stress. Both of my leather holsters were made by Ron Graham out of Portland, Oregon.
You always like the smell of leather...and the sound of the whip!Unsnap what "loops"? You mean on those iwb leather holsters?
It shouldn't matter. Those loops unsnap so that you can remove the holster w/pistol without removing your belt if you need to. I have never seen a decent, unsalted/dry rotted piece of leather crack. A good holster leather should out live you. I'd worry more about those "plastic" straps cracking before leather.
