I'm now a fan of Alien Gear. They're comfortable, you can switch the shells out, they're cheap, and they ship fast.

Lefty I like the idea that if you change pistols, they will exchange the plastics out for one that fits your new pistol.

Best CCW holster I have ever had and it's not even close. I can carry a G19 all day in the tuckable. It's very comfortable.


That's very interesting. I'd like to get a holster for my double stack carry gun (M&P9c) that only has one clip on the outside. How long have you been carrying like this? I'm becoming interdasted.

Bapple,
If you're looking for a good single clip IWB holster, I can recommend the "Tuck Clip" made by Side Guard holsters. I've used one for a number of years to carry my Kahr CW45. I like that the clip's offset from the frame of the gun to make the gun/holster package a little thinner. It works well, is reasonably priced, turn around was pretty quick and it's nicely made. A single clip holster sure is more convenient than a double clip holster. I don't think the single clip works well for heavier guns, but it should work well for yours.

I got that alien gear IWB 3.0 for my tanfoglio 9mm. Real comfortable and have no complaints so far.

I used my N8 squared every day for the few months I worked cutting grass with Stacy. I keep it at 5 o'clock. Never stunk or anything and was pretty comfortable once you figure out what position works best. The gun never touched my body. The draw does take some getting used to, but I can do it just as fast as anything else now. The gun will not fall out. I've even carried a Shield in mine that's made for the PPQ.

Only problem was the clip turning. Fixed that with a harder rubber washer and blue Loctite

I'm having a Garret Industries Silent Thurder Solo built for my P938. They get great reviews over on the SIG forums.

I have had the holster for about 4 months. One great thing about it Its sort of universal in that I can carry my G19, G43 or my Sig 938 depending on what I wear. I work in an office and wear slacks and dress shirt every day so being able to tuck is very important.

The only con of the holster is the belt clip doesn't work well with some of the thicker gun belts. I have an alien gear belt and a dress belt from bullhide that works fine. I have two other "gun" belts from bullhide that are double thick and the clip tends to push out.

Like I said it's super comfortable and easy to put on and secure once it's on. I couldn't imagine finding another holster that I would like better.
