I'm trying to decide between the following OWB holsters for CCW (Glock 23):
FIST #10 Shortcut in leather or kydex
G-Code OWB 15-degree cant belt slide
Galco Concealable
High Noon Slide Guard
I would appreciate any feedback from those who own or have used these holsters in the past. If you have pics actually wearing the OWB holsters, so much the better.

I know nothing of any of the choices, I'm sorry to say, but I highly recommend the services of Eric Larsen. He's a great guy.

Wes, your bad ..but I appreciate it.
Pics of others wearing the setups really wont help you except to get a better idea of what you think you want. I dont mean to sound negative..but Ill explain.
OWB carry is a great way to do it. Take into account that the farther back you wear the gun the more cant your likely to need for a smoother draw and better concealment. Rd ht. is more a product of how your built..arm length vs torso/leg lengths...to get the gun at the right height for you.
A belt holster or slide style with an FBI cant should be worn at 4.30-5.00 to get a good draw for most people. The closer you get to 3.00 the less cant you want.........
You also need more cant to assist in concealing a larger gun..say a 1911 or CZ75..so. It draws the muzzle up and the grip into the small of your back..both are needed for concealing a larger gun.
Take it all into consideration and start your search that way....
I wear a pancake at 4.00 with 10 deg. of cant and its perfect for my long arms and my build....best I can get. I wear a belt style holster at 3.30 with a little over 5 degrees of cant...this works the best for me and this style.
Its all up to how your built, your preferred carry location, your gun and draw style..................
Shoot well............:D

Yeah, I'm your own personal advertiser. :D
But I wouldn't go around plugging your stuff if I didn't know that you're a good guy. You deserve it. One of these days I'll get my butt in gear and have you make me one.
And then I'll plug you even more. :D :neener:
