I took a "next level" conceal carry class over the weekend, one of the issues I had was my leather holster is a little difficult when repeatedly re-holstering. In my normal carry I always insert my gun and holster together as one piece inside my waistband, and that's what I ended up doing for most of the training (removing holster, placing gun in holster, put holster & gun back inside waistband) but this was slow and cumbersome to keep doing.
I do have a kydex holster that exactly mimics the carry position of my leather holster, but I don't carry it because I find it extremely uncomfortable after just a few minutes while my leather holster can be worn all day.
But what is everybody's thoughts on training with the kydex holster for ease of re-holstering, but still using my leather holster for every day carry? I was trying them both out with some dry-fire drills yesterday and they both seem to function identically, both even have the same level of retention.
Ideally I'd try to find a kydex or hybrid holster that is comfortable, but my gun isn't that popular (K6s with a 3" barrel) so holster options are limited.
