Kydex Holsters

The one on the left looks EXACTLY like the ones I make...

Just check out the first two Google pages when you search for your gun + Kydex. Then price out, send a few emails with your questions and take your pic. Sometimes LGSs have a local due [like me] who'll make you something for cheaper if you're willing to drive.

If they don't list what thickness of Kydex they use make sure to email and ask, and don't buy anything under .08.

And good GOD those lines look sexy.

Try Priority One holsters. Made in NC in a guy's garage, I met him at a gun show. He makes really good stuff, I EDC a P30SK with one of his holsters.

I'm a bit of a greenhorn when it comes to holsters. I'm seeing "J-Hook", "Clip Over" and inch sizes. I'm kind of at a loss on what means what. Anything I should avoid?

I like Clinger and garrett industries. Both are great and their products stand out among their contemporaries due to innovative features.

>j-hook

Clip-overs are OPic left, and loops are a clusterfuck.
Inches usually correlate to the width of the belt they're meant for, commonly 1.25, 1.5, and 1.75. J-hooks like pic-related should be avoided unless they state what gauge Kydex they use. Like I said I wouldn't trust anything under .08.

I like this guy, I've never heard of him before. His site doesn't look like shite like most of them do.

I got the Dara appendix carry holster for my PPS. First IWB holster, so take this info with that in mind. The holster concealed quite nicely at 12:00, but turns out kids drop far too much shit for appendix carry to work out in day to day life for me. Migrated to a 2:30-3:00 carry without any problems instead.

So far, so good. Retention is damn near ideal, zero sight hang up, there's a bottom fold in the bottom of the holster to suspend forward motion when holstering that my CompTac comp holster is missing, and the bottom edges of the holster line up perfectly with the bottom of my PPS trigger guard.

While not nearly as comfortable as a pocket holster, it's an entire second faster on the draw.

Calipers show .1" thickness. Not sure if that's ideal or not.

Oh yeah, they made sure to cover the magazine release button as well, which is not something all holster manufacturers do.

I've got a holster like the one on the left but with an ulticlip, but it's hard to conceal because holster + gun + clip all being in the same plane makes it really thick. I think the one on the right in your pic would be much better because the clip is next to the gun so it's not adding to the thickness of the holster+gun.

I've got a stealthgear revolution in the mail that I'm hoping will be better. I wear pretty slim clothes, so I really need the slimmest form factor (shield 9).

That thickness is fine, more expensive and less flexible for my taste but a bigger company could do well with it as you can see.

Personally I make mine with an exposed or half covered release so you can drop the mag before unholstering in the event you encounter an uppity cop or someone similar- unless the release is easier than that of say a Glock release, then I cover it.
