I’m on the hunt for the best concealed holster for my Glock, and I could really use some help!

Looking for Comfort and Concealment

I carry my Glock every day, and I want a holster that makes it easy to conceal without sacrificing comfort. I’ve done some research, but the options seem endless. From IWB (Inside the Waistband) to OWB (Outside the Waistband), I’m trying to figure out which one fits my lifestyle better.

What Works for You?

  • IWB Holsters: If you’re using an IWB holster, what models do you recommend? I’m particularly concerned about how they feel while sitting or driving.
  • OWB Holsters: For those who prefer OWB, can you share your experiences? How well do they conceal under a jacket or loose shirt?
  • Material Preferences: I’ve noticed a range of materials from kydex to leather. Is one better than the other for comfort or concealment in your experience?

A Preference for Specific Models

Do you have any specific brands or models that have worked well for you? I’m looking for something that allows for quick access but also keeps my Glock secure during daily activities. I’m open to hearing personal stories or recommendations, even if they’re from trial and error.

Adjustability and Features

What about features like adjustable cant, retention, or quick-release? How important are these to you when choosing a holster?

Final Thoughts

Thanks in advance for any insights or recommendations! I appreciate this community and look forward to hearing your thoughts on finding the best concealed Glock holster that combines comfort, effectiveness, and practicality.

I find that inside the waistband (IWB) holsters are the best for concealed carry. They keep the firearm close to the body and are generally more discrete. Just remember to get a good belt to support it!

3

I totally agree! IWB is my go-to as well. Comfort is key, and you can’t beat the concealment it provides.

Has anyone tried appendix carry? I’ve heard mixed reviews about it. It seems like it could be comfortable if you’re sitting a lot, but I’m concerned about accessibility.

5

I use appendix carry, and I love it! It allows for quick access and isn’t noticeable under my shirt. Though, it does take some getting used to.

6

I have tried OWB and it feels more comfortable when just walking around. However, I find it challenging to conceal without a jacket. Anyone else feel this way?

7

I can relate! I only use OWB when I can wear a longer shirt. Otherwise, the IWB still wins for concealment.

8

I’ve had a positive experience with shoulder holsters. They distribute the weight evenly and I can wear them under a suit jacket. But they are not the most accessible for quick draws.

9

That’s true! They’re stylish, but I think they lose out on speed, which is crucial for self-defense scenarios.

10

I am on the hunt for something new. What would you guys suggest for a reliable IWB? Any specific brands you like?

11

I’ve heard good things about Alien Gear and Crossbreed. They tend to be comfortable and provide excellent retention.

I personally think each carry style has its pros and cons, and it really depends on what fits your lifestyle. But if you’re going for discretion, IWB is hard to beat! Also, let’s not forget that training is crucial!

I’m on the lookout for a concealed Glock holster too! I’ve heard leather is really comfortable but can get bulky. Anyone have experience with Kydex?

14

I switched to Kydex last year and loved it! It’s slim and holds the shape well. Just make sure it fits your Glock model perfectly.

I agree with calvinsanchez! Kydex is great for a snug fit. But don’t overlook nylon holsters; they are lightweight and often more affordable. The convenience can’t be beaten!

I find Kydex can be a bit uncomfortable over long days. Has anyone tried hybrid holsters that combine materials?

17

Yes! Hybrid holsters often use Kydex for retention and leather or neoprene for comfort. They can be the best of both worlds if you have the right fit!

18

I had an instance where my leather holster was so bulky it printed through my shirt. I switched to Kydex and felt like I was wearing air! Comfort and concealment are key。

That sounds awesome! I wonder if anyone has a preferred Kydex brand for longer wear?

For longevity, I recommend checking out Alien Gear or Bravo Concealment. They offer great Kydex options that also focus on comfort.
