I have applied for CPL, which may take up to 2 months I'm being told.
In the meantime, I practice carrying my G17 in a cheap Glock Sports holster. The easiest way to carry it while still being able to sit down, get in the car etc., seems to be at 5:00 canted. For me at least - I'm 5'10" who's been eating well and exercising little lately.
The GS holster is great, but has two drawbacks. First, the belt has to be threaded through it, so taking it off / putting it back on isn't quick.
Second, it's open bottom so about 1.5" of the muzzle is exposed & rubbing against my jeans. I am sure in short time it will wear the finish. Also, there's a good chance of the front sight getting caught on something & broken (I still have the Glock plastic sights).
I like the idea of Kydex - it seems to be very gentle on the finish, it has a tight fit to the trigger and it doesn't flex like the leather does. Can someone recommend me an inexpensive holster that is clipped on, and is closed on the bottom ?
