High Noon down under IWB for the 45

and a cheap pocket holster for the P32 I dont even remember who makes it (uncle mikes or someone like that) but I want to get the Highnoon holster eventually.


Highnoon products are great! Plus they make ALL of their products in left or right hand :wink:

I am thinking of getting a holster simular to the one 7 uses too.

I would recommend High Noon if you are looking for holsters.

Galco Silhouette High Ride for 1911.

One black and one brown. Job sorta requires color cordination. :?

A desent belt is worth the investment.

I just did a comparrison between two Kydex holsters. One by Uncle Mike's and one by Blade-Tech. Spend the extra money and buy the Blade-Tech. Its a great holster. But for $20something dollars the Uncle Mike's is not bad either. I'll post a comparison piece later.

I carry my Glock's in a belt slide by Galco. One holster fits 'em all. At least the ones I own. I also have one of the Galco horizontal shoulder holsters, ala Miami Vice. Mine's black. Shoulder holsters are okay, but just not versatile enough. And you can't ever take your coat off.

My SIG is currently in the Uncle Mike's, waiting on the Blade-Tech that I'm ordering for it.

I also carry in a fanny pack a lot. Depends on my mood, the venue, and the weather.

I've been carrying a Blade Tech on my hip for the last 8 years. Been carrying plain clothes everyday for the last 3.5 years and haven't had a single problem with the Blade Tech line of holsters......If you get one make sure that it has the belt loop attachments and NOT the Tech Lok attachment system...

Take care

IWB or OWB?

[USMC03]

Out of the Waist Band......I don't know a single guy that carries on a daily basis that wears a In the Waist Band holster....I tried them when I first got into law enforcement and found them very uncomfortable and spent a lot of money getting new pants, belts, etc.

Out of the Waist Band holsters conceal just fine if you select the proper clothing....

[foresaken80206]

G27 or G23 IWB with the UCR kydex holster...it simply is the most comfortable IWB holster around; IMHO.

I have been looking at the down under as well. Do you have the one with loops or the clip? Just curious on your choice. Why did you choose what you did?

The one with the loops looks more stable and seems as though it would provide less shifting.

[The1andOnlyKC]

I have the one with the clip. I decided to go with the clip because I cant carry at work. We are also on call so if I was called in and was carrying it would be easier to unclip the holster and everything and leave it in my car. I do think the straps would be a little more stable and possibly spread the weight of the gun out a little more on your belt.

I have carried two different types of guns in the Down Under with the clip. The first gun was the Taurus PT145 (Piece of crap I may add) It didnt shift at all. And concealed great under a T-shirt.

The second and currently carrying is the SA Micro compact 1911. Heavier than the Taurus was, much more reliable though. It shifted a little bit when I first got it. But then I found a leather maker that had some double thinkness 1 3/4" belts for 18.00 at a motorcycle show so I thought hell give this a shot for 18.00. And now it hardly ever shifts unless I have to run or something like that. Still conceals real nice.

I ordered a slide gaurd from them on the 6th of May. I finally just got my tracking number Sunday and it should be here by Friday. This is the first time they have taken this long on making and shipping a holster to me. But I decided to try to carry OWB so I can compare. I will report back my finding after I have carried OWB for a few weeks.

I use a Bianchi Shadow II but it is getting a little uncomfortable, want to find
a new one for my G32. Was thinking about an IWB but dont know what brand is good, would like leather. Does anyone have some suggestions?

I like the security of a thumb break holster knowing it can't fall out and it is second nature to break a thumb break after years of duty carry.

I don't wear on my hip though...it goes next to my kidney so it doesn't show in a front profile. I have also placed in the small of my back, but I can't stand this if I have to drive very far.

I've also used a lot an uncle mike's super belt slide holster. It's like a deluxe version of a pancake holster.

The seem to help break up the outline of larger guns and are soft. Again thumb break is a requirement for me.

[kwando]

90% of the time i carry my G23 IWB using a CTAC.

the rest of the time i use a fobus (yes i know it's cheap but i still like it) OWB paddle.

[XJ]

I'm down with the UCR for the 19 or 23, but I'm only home on weekends so no everyday use. Did have it on for 18hrs last Saturday and no complaints.

OWB if I could drop some pounds, not confident how to conceal it well with the end of coat season :oops:

Alessi for the ankle, Walmart carpenter jeans are straight leg and work really well with that holster and a 27. Plus they run a little bit larger in the waist than other styles.

Whoever makes the CTAC for mag pouch and flashlight, clip pepper to the belt and I feel like freaking batman with all of that on.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I find that extreamly funny. I might actually make it my new sig line. Of course I have only had 2 hours of sleep in 48hrs so I will re-evaluate the sit. after some R and R.

[kwando]

oh man if you are talking about everything... i keep at least one LED flash light in my pocket. two folding knifes. 1 extra mag. 1 2oz can of foxlabs. and i think that is it

[HunterCO]

Since we are talking about everything I carry my G23, G27 atleast for knives my M16, pepper spray, two flashlites and atleast 100 rnds of ammo for each gun and two tazers. :P :twisted:

I actually carry a G27 SOB Disantis holster and belt and a leatherman. No extra mags, flashlites, pepper spray ect. I tend to avoid parts of town that I need to be armed like I live in Bosnia. :wink:

[KarlPMann]

EVERYTHING? :shock:

Ummm, S&W Model 340PD in Galco IWB, S&W Model 38 in Alessi Ankle rig, 4oz. can of 5.3 Pepper Spray, 15,000CP flashlight (Streamlight Stinger XT), CRKT M14-16, Safariland Ballistics Level III vest, two pairs of handcuffs (one regular and one hinged), and lots of common sense. :twisted: Karl likestobeprepared Mann. :wink:

[The1andOnlyKC]

I dont have enough time to list what I carry....

[FriedCheese]

I use a OWB SIDEARMOR w/ X200 for my Kimber Warrior. ( One spare mag holder). * this is when it's cold out.

I have a IWB Uncle Mikes, soft for my Beretta Tomcat .32

And when carrying is not PC. I just carry my folder (spyderco) and a Surefire E2D.

[peprpopr451]

Para CCW in a Milt Sparks Summer Special with a Sparks IWB single mag pouch. Very comfortable when the weather is cool enough to cover it with a shirt or jacket.

In the summer, same gun and spare mag in a Wilderness Tactical Safepacker. It's big and bulky but I can wear it on my belt without worrying about covering it with another garment. Unless someone knows what they are looking for it's unlikely to raise any eyebrows, and no one has ever asked "What's in there?"

I just got a Crossbreed IWB tuckable.

It's really nice, cost is really good too.

[newracer]

I am having a hard time deciding on what holsters to get. I guess I'll just have to break down and buy a few and try them out. Right now I am leanign towards a CTAC and either Wilderness Tactical Safepacker or fanny pack.

[Hoser]

Milt Sparks Executive Companion and Ky-Tac Braveheart.

those are really nice IWB holsters i am goin to order one of the super tuck IWB, i have a friend with one and its nice

[Mule]

I went back and ordered one of his IWB mag holders last week.

Hand made, fully adjustable, custom hand tooled leather if you so desire. And, less than most of the mega mfgs.....
I used it for IDPA shoot two weekends ago, very fast on draw and went back in with no fuss. I can wear it under a t-shirt un tucked or a heavier "Office" shirt tucked in. The first day I got it, I wore it (w/ my XD) while I worked in the yard. No problems at all. It takes about four weeks to get though, so plan ahead. My brother and I got them at the same time, he feels the same way.
