I'd get a Safariland. I'd get anything before I got a SERPA, like your pic related.

>Safariland, so all the cops use it along with military contracts out the ass, lots of QC, made in Mexico/USA instead of China.
>smooth plastic doesn't scratch finish
>waterproof and heatproof
>thumb lock so you don't get Glock leg like with the SERPA and it's harder for random fucks to grab your gun
>Paddle actually bites onto your belt and locks in until you do the special wiggle in the instruction manual to pull it out
>also comes in models that hold weaponlights

I'd recommend the Raven Concealment Eidolon- simply because of the myriad amount of setup options it has. That and it will accommodate longer models with its open bottom design. (G19 holster will fit a G17, etc...)

It comes with quite a bit of hardware so you can come up with what works best for you.

The company necessarily "advertise" an OWB setup, but I have done it with mine for range use. Worked just fine. It is marketed as an iwb holster though.

Fuck

>no active retention
>intended to tilt the gun towards the body
>exposed muzzle
>not even supposed to hold the gun tight enough to pass the upside down test

FFS at least recommend the Phantom. OWB with a set of clips on a canted ultrathin IWB holster is stupid unless you're an extreme poorfag.

Ive got the alien gear owb for my CZ P07. It's a nice holster and you can buy the plastic shells that will fit other semi autos on the same base piece of leather for 12.88$. I don't know exactly what it retails for because I got mine as a combo with a IWB 3.0 for 54$ so I'm sure the price of just the owb isn't bad at all

>>31382992
(P07 owner) I also ccw my p07 in the owb holster all the time and just make sure I've got a long shirt that'll cover it. It's a pretty dope set up, I've been happy with it

Maximum comfy
Maximum concealment

You can adjust the thing to "pass the upside-down test."

It's literally one screw.

And I recommended it because you can make this IWB holster into an OWB easily. The same cannot be said with most holsters marketed as primarily OWB.

>>31383470
Same cannot be said as in reverse order- making your OWB holster into an IWB.

Whoops. At work and I keep posting before I read through it again.

Question:

What does /k/ in general think of Uncle mike's holsters? I saw one guy a few months ago say they were awful, but ever since then I haven't seen them mentioned at all.

I got an uncle Mike's side holster for my Glock 19, but since I'm new to the gun community I didn't want to be making a grave mistake. I like it because it's soft and not clunky.

Convince me I'm retarded and I'lol probably buy a new one

I don't trust fabric holster, especially with a Glock. Sure the chances of the trigger getting somehow pulled through the fabric are low, but I'd rather not bank on those kinds of probabilities. Something rigid like kydex or plastic is a must for holsters for me, ESPECIALLY for a Glock. Also, better retention.

Speaking as somebody who CCs a Glock 19 in a Crossbreed holster.

>>31382992
I use a Blackhawk SERPA style paddle holster that's very similar to your picture. While it is true that a few people have experienced Glock-leg because of this combo I believe I will not.

Mostly because I'm not a total idiot. Release the gun then BACK OFF that trigger finger just a tad. With proper training your index goes to the slide every time. It works well, is not super expensive, and has retention.

You're right to desire retention for OC, it's foolish to go without.

>>31383470
Strange, it maxes out on my G19 Eidolon without going that far.

Raven Concealment doesn't even recommend setting retention that high on an IWB though, which I agree with.

>>31383522
>soft holster
>sit on it/fall on it a few times at the range
>it starts collapsing
>you have to hunt/poke with your muzzle to open it again
>if it closes while you're holstering and has a particularly nasty wrinkle it'll pull the trigger on your leg
>shitty belt clip that eventually starts coming off your pants faster than the gun comes off the holster

If you're on a razor thin budget and need a holster for multiple guns then at least look at the Safariland GLS.

>remember to back off the trigger finger
>when snatching the gun out of the holster as fast as possible under stress
>instead of going for an equivalent price thumb release like Safariland ALS or an even less expensive thumb break
>your trigger finger can always stay on the slide with no temptation to bend it for extra force or leverage pushing something

There's a reason why multiple training schools, FLETC, and law enforcement agencies specifically ban the SERPA.

>>31383522
Uncle mike's tactical, the kydex ones, are fine, in fact a bargain at $25

The soft ones are fudd tier.

I have tested (with a triple check empty gun, clearly) how to Glockleg myself with a Serpa. I could only get it to happen by bending my finger extremely unnaturally.

The only way it happened was bending my finger in an exaggerated hook an jammed the tip of my finger on the button, AND THEN immediately continuing the motion with my finger still in a hook and squeezing on the trigger.

It was very different than anything close to a natural motion for me. Usually the pad of my finger just kind of slides on the button and then to the body of the handgun.

I carried a chambered and unsafed FS92 in a Serpa on deployment and never had anything close to an issue, either with drawing or with the fabled "mud in the paddle" issue that hypothetical operators always tell me about. Been using a Serpa for my Glock for local competitions for 2+ years with no issues, so meh.

Hmm... On my g23 it can tighten down far enough to where you really need to swing the thing hard in order for it to come out. I agree that it wouldn't ever need to be that tight though.

Again, I only recommended it for the wide array of possible setups, not that it's necessarily "the best" owb or iwb- but it can do both.

I find that, typically, if you are carrying in public CC is a better option. Less soccer mom possibilities and such. However, during practice/recreational shooting on the range it can be kind of a bitch to repeatedly use an iwb.

Therefore, if you're carrying concealed most of the time, your "range setup" doesn't necessarily need to be as beefy and purpose built as your CC for that gun.

Just some thoughts from a guy on the internet. All up to you.

>>31382992
Been thinking about getting a good OC holster for M&P 9 as well. Will be monitoring this thread.

but guys, why is the cqc still in wide spread use if it is so bad?

Only because some fatass shot himself into his leg?

I've never heard of any issues due to the serpa except this one incident.
