I have a drawer full of holsters, seem to have two for each handgun I own.
Interested to hear what is not necessarily your favorite but most used.
As for me I my favorite is a Milt Sparks Summer Special but my most used is a Galco Belly Band.
Fits everything and no belt is needed, works great with my sweat pants.:thumbup:
 
My most used is my favorite, a Tucker leather holster for my K6s. I don't use any other holster for that gun.

I do have a belly band I occasionally use for my lcp but I don't really care for it and only use it when I'm jogging. Normally it stays in a Garrison Grip Woven pocket holster and a few times a year goes into a Sticky holster when I'm wade fishing.
 
My Milt Sparks Criterion for my Colt 1991A1 is my most used, and favorite. That's my daily carry holster.

My holster/gunbelt for my Colt SAA is my least used, and favorite. Because who doesn't like the look of a beautifully tooled, buscadero belt/holster with a SAA in it?

My cheap nylon one for my AMT Automag II is my most used for that pistol, which pretty much is just my "pistol keeper", since I don't have a case for that gun. Not a favorite, but it serves its purpose of protecting that pistol, as well as a simple OWB holster for small game/fishing trips back before I got my Colt 1991A1.
 
My most used? Has to be this one....a "Hand Of God" rig I threw together. Distressed to look very well used. I work in Tombstone sometimes and this is a part of my "uniform" when I'm not using my old style shoulder rig. Mine is on the right side in the pic....compared to one mass produced. The first is for my Uberti El Patron and shoulder rig is for my Cimarron Thunderer.

I have 4 holsters made from White Hat with half a dozen more shells that I have swapped out over the years. The two that get used the most are for my full size and compact EDC pistols. (One at a time)
 
My favorite is a Sparks 200AW for a 5.5" single action. It's easily the best quality holster I've seen. It's not an ideal ccw rig, though, and as much as I want to like the Summer Special it just isn't very comfortable for me, so my Tucker Texas Heritage IWB is my most used.
 
TT Gunleather IWB or Xc IWB, which is basically a Milt Sparks Versa-max-type holster, with the Xc having the majority of its molding on one side, so it is more comfortable to wear on a daily basis. I also carry in... Milt Sparks Versa-max holsters.
 
For the past roughly 5 years this was the holster I was wearing if I was out at the hunting property:

A Safariland 567 for a k-frame.

Earlier this year I switch from carrying the model 10 to a Webley and I have carried it since May in this holster:

Tagua open-top scabbard. It was sold as an N-frame holster and other than the clearance for the full underlug fits the Webley very nicely. Trying to find a holster for a Webley that is not a flap holster is next to impossible.

Nice Webley! That's on my very short list. If you do have a flap holster, you could just cut off the flap. Lot's of guys could make you one too.

Most of the custom places I have looked at do not have a Webley model to use to make a custom holster. What I really want is to find someone with a model to make me a kydex holster for it. I realize that is probably sacrilege. One of these days I might have to try to make it myself.
 
The two I use the most these days are a Suarez AIWB "Gunfighter" and a Smart Carry. Prior to the Suarez, it was a Blade-Tech "Ambi Klipt".

Bugger sacrilege. Though I don't own any Kydex holsters, they're holsters that have proven themselves.

My most used is a simple handmade Kydex, probably for a Sig, that fits my PT145 perfectly:

It was longer, I cut it to the length of the gun. If anyone knows who made this, I'd sure appreciate knowing that:

I have a Desantis Sof-Tuck for my .38 BodyGuard that would be next most used.
 
Don’t necessarily like it but I use a Don Hume H715 for the JFrame. I usually use a pocket holster though.

My most used belt holster is a Galco Combat Master OWB for my Glock 21. Usually wear that at the hunting property.
 
Thank You!
And I see it was worth the $15 I paid, having found it in the "holster box" at the LGS, labeled as a LH holster. Seems to work better for me RH IWB...;)
 
Hmmmmm

Most carried is EDC custom leather
High on list is a VersaCarry
My favorite would have to be double gun, Cowboy Rig, RH draw and cross draw.
I use the cross draw for field carry, when hunting. It doesn't care if filled with .22LR, .22M, .357M, .41M, .44M or .45C
 
I have a heap of holsters that are not "most carried".

I have kydex holsters, and still use them on occasion, but they tend to "peek" out of concealment for me more often.

I have several Alien Gears - I used to love them and the company. But as they went from v1-current, their comfort has decreased, and so has their customer service. Their "no questions asked" warranty now requires pictures or old parts to be sent back to them - on the customer's dime.

These days I usually carry in a OWB leather holster.

I banged out a quick holster for my 365 when I got it, intent on getting something better later, but I am just about on the point of deciding my ugly amateur work that is built to what works for me is destined to beat out the storebought models.

My latest is a Desantis thumb break holster (which I wanted as a feature.) As soon as I got it, I found it rode too high, making it MUCH less stable and it does not pull into my beltline as much, meaning it does not conceal as well.

For IWB, the only holster I have used long term is a Comp-Tac Minotaur. The shells change, but it is the same backing as I used many years ago.

Seen here next to the holster the 365 holster was sketched out from, another homemade one that I have used for awhile - this one with a bit more build quality with my P320 (M17, technically) in it.
