Good K9 Holster?

[jg rider]

I'm not a fan of pancake or any holster with front wings. IMHO it limits how much I can slide the holster fore and aft. I carry in Don Hume JIT holsters on nylon or canvass belts for easy sliding, and I don't weave the belt through the hip belt loop. That way I can push the holster as far forward as I like when bending or go back behind the hip when wearing an open shirt or coat.
I've done this for many years and I'm amazed that when I grab the holster through my shirt and push it one way or the other as the need requires, no one has noticed or seemed concerned.
I usually carry just in front of my hip bone.

This design's rear wing pulls the butt tight against the body. Not like IMO the front wing pull which cancels the pull of the rear wing.

IIRC this was first designed by a holster maker named Bruce Nelson, now long gone.

I've been using these same holsters for over 10 years with no stretching or softening of the leather. Other well known makers offer this design but for the about $35.00 these cost form Hume they're well worth the price. Oh ! I have no affiliation with Hume. Just passing on what works for us

For OWB I use Desantis Mini Slide and for IWB Com-ptact Infidel Max.

I have a couple Desantis OWB that I love. I also have a Galco leather for a Sig P226 that is excellent. For IWB, in my opinion, you cannot beat Stealthgear. They are a bit expensive, but soo0 comfortable and well made. Worth every penny.

This holster from Galco is working very well carrying my K9 AIWB. It's a quality item made from rough-out horsehide and the unique j-hook is really well-executed. You just have to keep in mind that both the belt and the pants share the weight, so it works best closer to a belt loop than it does right between two belt loops:

That looks similar to my sof tuck. I may have to look into the Infidel Max at some point. Buying an M1A Scout this month. Something else to feed at the range.

How about a leather lined kydex holster?!

My favorite holster company now and for a long time.. Garrett Industries- Silent Thunder line.

- American company- Texas based
- American sourced leather
- Vegetable based leather tanning, no Chinese chromium bath, that causes a strange rash near your nethers..
- No kydex bite on your guns, or click clack draw, when you're sneaking up on a baddie

I have the IWB Silent Thunder Fusion and GT.. Goto www.giholsters.com for more info.
