Another Carry Question - Which P3AT Holster?

[Joe Link]

Yes, you may have guessed it, I'm going on a holster buying spree. In addition to my G19 and 1911, I'd like to get one for my P3AT. I find myself in quite a few situations (I'd prefer not to elaborate) where I need to conceal a micro gun IWB. I've narrowed it down to what I believe are the top three IWB P3AT candidates, and I'd like to hear what you guys think. I've ordered them in what looks to be the most comfortable to the least.

Bianchi 100 Size 3 (I hear they're available, though they're not listed)

Belt clip.

Low profile means low profile

Wouldn't that be really uncomfortable having the gun rub against the skin? I'd also imagine one might have rust issues.

For something that small & light, an Uncle Mikes IWB works great. The one I carry my P32 in was pretty tight at first, but after a few days, it stretched out and fits great

Hard chromed slide...

HBE leatherworks or UBG Leatheworks for custom holsters. Price is pretty close to the big name brands, quality easily exceeds them IMO. I love my HBE NY pro, but the leather is double thick on two sides, may be a bit much for a kel-tec, but it would reholster easier that way, it's pretty stiff.

I second the Mikes suggestion. They are light, thin, and pretty easy to conceal IWB with the plastic clip in the right place. Up high on the holster, model 15 I think. Maybe one for a J-frame since they are pretty small.

jeepmor - From what I see of both of those manufacturers their holsters are priced a bit too high for my taste, since I don't carry the P3AT very often, and I don't believe they have anything that would work very well for the P3AT.

I'm going to check out an Uncle Mikes today.

Anyone have any other suggestions or comments on those ones I listed?

Mika pocket holster...does not come out of the pocket during the draw...weapon draw is quick and smooth...holster does not absorb moisture...and to top it off, it is very inexpensive.

deSantis has a great pocket holster in leather with room for a spare mag.

I just use the KT belt clip on days I carry the P3AT.

Have you looked at neck carry?

It would freak me out carrying like that

I use a belt clip and usually wear beltless shorts or swim trunks during hot weather. The gun carries comfortably for the entire day, and sweat has not harmed the blue finish. I wipe it down about every other day with a silicone rag and clean it once a week.

The clip holds the gun securely, allows for ease of draw, and hides the gun like it wasn't there. At less than $12, it's well worth trying to see if it meets your needs.
