Holster choices for open carry. About to lose my mind.

I recently got a Silent Thunder STX 2.0 from Garrett Industries. It's kydex lined with leather. I've not had an OWB holster that conceals as good as the STX does. It's comfortable, rides really close to the body and has adjustable retention.

Raven Concealment. I have 2. I cover with a shirt but that's optional.

I found a holster for my Walther PPQ that I like really well. It's from ZAHAL Israel Tactical Gear. It's made

"similar" to a Serpa, but better design, adjustable for cant, paddle or belt options, retention type, but

better than the Serpa design. Think it was around $30, took a few days from Israel, but not as long as expected.

I bought the paddle & belt options, but like the paddle as it's a quick on/off, compared to a belt type.

I had a nice leather with a top strap, FBI cant, just like this better.

To each, his/her own preference.

It's clear that by now, OP's decision will be clear and not confusing in the least. ;)

 

FWIW, I like leather for everything except pocket carry, where Kydex excels due to its thinness and rigidity.

The bianchi "carrylock" is a fine holster. I carry a M&P 45 c every day, have carried a full sized m&p, a 40c and a full sized glock 22 all using the carrylock, I don't have one for a 92 but plan on getting one soon.

I have the same for my Glock 19. When I OC or dress nice and an IWB isn't the proper attire, this is what I use. It is a great holster.

This should really push you over the edge....

When I carry my PT92 I use a Wilson Combat Low Profile all leather with sharkskin trim.This has got to be one of the nicest holsters I have,very stiff and retention is very acceptable.Although a little pricey they are made for Wilson by a custom crafter.

While it's hard to beat Kydex or other plastics for snug/tight retention, they're just ugly and they dig into my side/hip. I've gotten to where the only time I carry a Kydex OWB is when I'm taking a class or when I used to go to matches. Leather pancake holsters are so comfy I forget they're there half the time. Plus, I think they are handsome looking rigs.

I am a huge fan of the Safariland ALS over the Serpa for its strength, not using a trigger finger to break retention, and because it cost less.

[suspiciousmind]

Well, yep. My head is spinning from the choices and I have decided that I will probably have a drawer full of holsters like some of you guys. Haha!

I purchased a Safariland low riding holster as I don't particularly like things that ride high as it can interfere with the kind of clothes I wear.

Also, I had to be realistic with myself with how often I would actually take care of a custom leather holster.. Which would get neglected. Haha. When I grow in my holster maturity I will get a leather one, but for now I figure if it's good enough for metro it's good enough for me!

It has Level 3 retention.. Which I will need to put some hours into training.

I'm also looking into taking some more training classes around Nashville.

You could pick up a nice leather belt holster with a thumb snap.  Look at Bianchi.
