Thanks for stopping by. Didnt expect you to come so soon.

Because there is 36,173 different holsters out there...who the fuck knows where to start right?

Ive got some I plan to stay away from, but need some input, if you can spare the time.

Looking for kydex and IWB. More importantly, itll be for a Glock 30.

Im leaning towards Tulster but if theres others youd recommend, let me know.

On a side note, I cant find much in way of a OWB for Glock 40, in kydex, so if you got the 411 on that, Im all ears. Trying not to go leather.

Get a one clip kydex holster. It shouldn’t be a big production to put it on like it is with a 2 clip holster. With a one clip holster you can put it on and take the whole holster off with the gun already in it with just one hand. All you have to do is loosen your belt.

I don't consider myself an expert in anything, let alone holsters.. but I've spent a lot of $$$ on them.

For IWB I've tried --
AlienGear holsters - trigger guard did not cover trigger completely, unknown if it was a one-time issue, got refunded
StealthGearUSA - Very comfortable IWB holsters, but also expensive. They have both Ventcore (their original and most expensive) and newer SG-Revolution, cheaper by almost half but not as well-made or comfortable.
BlackPointTactical - decided to give these a try a couple of years ago - similar to StealthGear's design but less material, meaning less bulky and more comfortable. Check out my mini-review here: Blackpoint Tactical Holsters and Gear! - there's also a discount code in that thread to try out, if it still works. They can do both Glock 30 and 40. Lots of models and options available.

I have a few AIWB (Appendix) clip-on holsters for my Shield if I'm just making a quick trip somewhere, but I don't like carrying Appendix long-term; especially if I'm sitting in a vehicle it digs into me too much.

For OWB I'm a huge fan of Safariland locking holsters. Obviously being in NY we can't open-carry except in certain situations, but it is helpful to have if I need it. Unfortunately still waiting for Safariland to make a model with TLR7 light..

I only have 2 holsters lol. An Alien Gear which I actually like, I would guess quality control issue with yours. Mine covers the trigger fine. And have a Safariland ALS, which gets used most of the time. I really like it and only have trouble concealing it when I cant wear a lite jacket.

Mine just doesnt cover the rear part of trigger guard but would be one hell of an incident if my trigger was even touched.

Was just messing with my iwb for glock 17 and owb for 1911. I definitely like the owb for the 1911. The iwb isnt bad but Im not feeling hybridy yet. Nice quality for the price though. Think the pair was $65 or 70.

Still havent decided on holsters. But! Perhaps a versacarry commander 2018 for the glock 40 10mm and vedder for glock 26 and 30.

Will update when ordered.

Most big manufacturers have a guard that doesn't completely close off the trigger. If the rear of the trigger can be seen it isn't an issue as the trigger has to be pulled back and this wouldn't allow for that. If something got in there all it could do is push forward. I forget what the reason was for this design but it has a legitimate purpose. Might be something about allowing for a full grip.
