Retention is good draws fine one handed or not depends on what you're wearing. FWIW I've taken pistol classes with this holster and can run it all day with shirt tucked in behind it. With IWB and normal clothing both drawing and reholstering is usually a two handed operation.
Thinking of the horsehair one. What's the advantage?
Supposedly more durable. It's pretty stiff new once it breaks in super comfy.
We the People just looks cheap. No experience with Vedder.
The side to side movement is a concern for me during a draw. Consistency in its location on your belt seems like an important concern. Maybe I'm wrong? I think I like the idea of a double clip, but understand the ease of using with a single clip. Am I overthinking things a bit?
glad to hear you like it Chris.
JM Custom has quick ship items in stock. If your firearm is in this category you'll have it in 5-10 business days.
Having 2 strong metal clips (discreet carry clips) spaced apart as they are with JM's holsters makes more of a difference IMHO.
I have one and like it as well. It does move around a bit on the belt if you’re wearing it all day, but I fell like I always know where it is. Swappable shells and adjustable retention is good and easy to use. I’ll pick up a 365 shell for mine soon enough since I sold one pistol off I didn’t like and I had a shell for that. I’ll compare there’s with the crossbreed and go from there.
The clip holds up very well. You can change the cant on the clip. I have worn one of their belts as well. Expensive yes but I have been carrying for at least 8-10 years on the same belt. Retention is adjustable with the way the holster is put together. It is as easy as any holster to reholster the gun inside the waistband. I am not a small guy so there is more than my shirt in the way. I prefer this holster to others that I have had because the gun never comes out of it. The trigger is never exposed when I take it off and put it on the nightstand or on the couch with me in the evening. I also can run into somewhere that I cannot carry and just pull it out and put it in my console without taking my belt off. I think I just got lucky and found one that I liked pretty much right off the bat. I have one other brand that I used for a short while that was just kydex. Not bad but not as comfortable. I also have several owb holsters from comp-tac that I like as well. I never carry with them as they are pretty much just for range use.
Mine never moved, but I also have the first clip in front of my first loop. Probably around 1 or 2 o'clock. I also have it riding very high on me compared to most, but it conceals well on my skinny ass, and I can also reach it with a seatbelt on.
I've actually made a decision and plan on placing the order today. Will be posting what and why in the thread later.
. The winner was... black arch holsters dual clip IWB protos-m with dri-matrix breathable backer.
Thanks for this post and that’s what we’re all here for. The experiences of the group are vast and I welcome the information exchanged on here as well. It has helped me greatly as well in many cases.First and foremost, thanks to EVERYONE for thier advice....you guys ROCK. I really don't have many I can ask in this arena, and I read every post, researched every single recommendation from every manufacturer listed here. I spent 4 days on this and everyone's take was listened to and taken into consideration, mulled over and the best advice to a new guy was used. I tried to stick to my parameters but took the best advice from everyone's posts and put them all together in 1 holster. I know this will most likely NOT be the only one I buy, but wanted the best shot at getting it "right " on the first go round. The only parameter I bent on was shipping, as it is 12-15 days. Everything else came from the advice of all of you
Reasons-
dual clip ( thanks @Dr. Evil )
Leather and tuckable ( thanks @cgrutt and @Saltwater60 )
For steering me clear of exposed trigger guards (thanks @MikeyCNY )
And for the original recommendation and that it incorporates kydex ( @Edwardteach72 )
Confirmation of hybrid holsters ( thanks @Jem45472 )
And for directions as to local retailers what may carry a holster for my weird ass first gun ( thanks @ irick)
I may have missed a few folks here, and if I did I apologize, but everyone's input was taken very seriously.
Thanks so very much. THIS is why the gun community is awesome, and this site specifically is a great resource for all shooters, new and old.
A great many thanks to you all.
Nice sized holster for that gun. Many small guns owners get full sized holsters and it makes no sense.
makes sense. I went with the 365 XL holster for both guns so should work out for me. My 365 prints a bit but I added pinky extensions.
