cinergi Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Yes, holsters are quite subjective in taste. I agree with most of Milt Sparks' holsters being very acceptable to what I personally like--and at a good value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88lx5oh Posted December 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 i understand what everyone is saying.. and no matter what i get as my first holster it probably wont be the only one i have, or shit i may not like it at all.. but i was just doing some research online, and kind of getting a overview different holsters and what the majority of people tend to be buying for comfort and all around good holster. and for shmucks post so your highnoon holster that is $100 or so dollars is better than the galco? which is essentially the same holster but $65? i dont get it.. price isnt always a factor of a well made item.. ill agree majority of the time yes.. but not always i am a price conscious buyer, but i also want a quality item. so if i have to spend more money for somethign that is worth it i will. but im not gonna dismiss an item jsut cause it is cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried the Galco, doesnt fit as nice nor feel as comfortable so how are they essentially the same? They may look the same but they arent, nor would I suggest going off of anyones reveiws or suggestions. I bought holster after holster and had to turn around and sell them all. Not the smartest way to buy anything but on this particular item thats what I did. Have you looked at the Ohio CCW site for any holster info, maybe try someones out?

88lx5oh Posted December 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 i wouldnt mind trying a holster out, but finding someone who has the exact gun you have, and also borrowing it for a long enough time to actually dictate if its the right one for you is probably going to be a hassle.. i guess the buy and try will be what ill have to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only bought 3 and still use 2 of them currently depending on mode of carry (though 98% of the time it's the Desantis). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FormulaMatt Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 I have a Fobus for my Glock 22 and its perfect I'll throw some pictures up in a bit You can find one for just about any handgun at Vance's and there reasonably priced. Holster and Glock: http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/allaboutwrx/IMG_0734.jpg Glock in Holster http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/allaboutwrx/IMG_0735.jpg Holster on Hip: http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/allaboutwrx/IMG_0736.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/allaboutwrx/IMG_0737.jpg I wear this with any sweatshirt or jacket. Ryan, This is the one I have for my Glock if you want to wear it around some and try it out. Me personally, I like it alot. I like the outer carry versus the inner much more. Like we talked about, I will also be getting a shoulder holster too though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cinergi Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 oh and cinergi.. i am carrying a glock 27 From what I have read it appears that you are set on IWB, might I ask why? Good choice on the gun. I have an issue with IWB for several reasons and it seems people always argue with me. I've had a lot of training over the years and can quite easily stop draws on an IWB quite effectively. I am not saying I am some super bad ass, but I tell you that to tell you this: 90% of the time someone who wants you to be a victim will have the "drop" on you before you even know what's happening--alertness can only go so far. I have rarely been involved in an incident which was over 8 feet away. EVERY second counts and I don't like ripping away at clothing that someone can use to drag me around with. I can draw quickly no matter where I have a weapon mounted, but I always find myself moving my position a lot more to draw IWB than I do ANY other method. Yes, it's deep concealment--what does it matter if you cannot get the gun? I have always said if they know you have a gun they will generally avoid you, or come in a group. Yes, you can also argue that the person attacking you does not suspect the weapon, or does not suspect any resistance and I will agree with that. I can also tell you 5 out 8 times if you are on the ground or injured before you draw, you won't be getting that gun out to defend yourself. A lot of people that CCW **NEVER** think of the ground fight that can ensue if something is mis-calculated. I always think of worst-case scenario, and for me IWB always looked most grim for what I felt was the best way to arm myself. //end that rant. Aside from that, I just never quite found a IWB holster that I ever did like much but my body type is a bit different than most. I can do SOB IWB, but only do that mirrored on the occasion that I do it. That's just me though... and I never claimed to know a lot. I will add to this later, I've been procrastinating a project I must finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTurbo Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 I pretty much have to agree with that. But its up to the OP. And carrying CC is better than no carry at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
