I have a Tulster Profile IWB for my Glock 26 and Sig P365. They are kydex, the quality is great, and even though it's IWB, it is comfortable

How do you want to carry? IWB, OWB Appendix? Makes a big difference.
My personal favorite is IWB about 4:00 in a N82 holster. Super comfy with suede backing that completely insulates the gun from your skin, and easily adjusted cant on the belt clip. Slides on and off with ease.

Mine rides in a kydex holster with a wedge, made by Mark at Pyntek. Or in a Sarfariland ALS the 2% of the time I wear OWB.

Knightfall Customs.com is my favorite. I have appendix and owb for multiple guns from him. He’s a vet, charges a good price, good turn around times

I've got alien gear for a G26 and my wife uses one for her G42 and we're quite happy with both FWIW.

No, but you do have to give the gun a slight twist to release. The retention is on the very front of the trigger guard.

I have a shapeshift setup for my G19, but its not great for IWB carry. I use it mainly for the wall mount plates and OWB setup. I can transfer the gun from hip to vehicle to behind the headboard without ever having to take it out of the shell.

I have an alien gear holster as well and I like it. I have a crossbreed as well and for a larger gun I don’t think it’s a great option. I also had to modify it to get a proper grip to draw from the holster.

Outstanding I like how the pad covers the pistol so no sensitive on skin
Never tried one but looking at it it looks fat as fuck and would make one sweat all the more.

I have several Alien Gear holsters. My P32, XDS-45, and my P320 all have an Alien Gear. I'm happy with them.

Not really. It vanishes quite nicely at the 4:00 spot.
The problem with that style is it prevents you from getting a full firing grip on the pistol. I would not recommend that design nor would I recommend an alien gear. Hybrid type holsters also do not allow the pistol to click in securely. Look into a holster with soft loops or DCC monoblock belt clips. These are by far the most secure holsters. I think these videos will give you some ideas and steer you into the right direction. Good luck.

I guess I should have given some specific recommendations. I'm certainly not an expert, but in the few years I've been carrying I have learned a lot. I have 2 big boxes full of holsters that I've moved on from. I'm currently running a Henry Holster which I think is great. You can't go wrong with any of these. Pay a little more upfront for something that is high quality and that has the proper attachment points that won't come off in a fight or if you get knocked down. Those plastic belt clips are garbage. Even the steel ones are bad if it's not the Monoblock clip that hooks up under your belt. Speaking of belts, I highly recommend a Kore Essentials.

I second watching for holsters that do not allow proper grip. I have a crossbreed reckoning and I had to cut off part of the leather because it did not allow for proper grip. I have to say it is a hybrid holster and the retention does not bother me at all and I feel it is just fine. I do have an adjustment on it and I do have it very tight.

I originally got the leather alien gear, but switched to the neoprene backing. I found it more comfortable FWIW.
The edge of the leather was very square and could dig in sometimes. The neoprene was round.
I considered just sanding the edge off the leather, but decided to try the neoprene first.
I have a spare leather back in a box in my closet now LOL.
