I have heard many people say they would like to try the bearclaw, but I havent heard of anyone who actually has tried it. I would like to carry my USP in a kydex OWB or paddle that hugs the body.

If you use one of these holsters, what model of gun, is it for duty or ccw, and does it conceal well? Quality wise how is it?
 
I used to.

I had a Kimber 3", and had Bearclaw make me a holster that sat much deeper at the waistband. Quality work, timely, and reasonable price. Concealed very well.

Yeah - I have:

(1) Hidden Asset IWB for my 1911 which I use for daily carry.
(2) Standard Option OWB for my Glock 34 & 35 which I use hiking
(3) Standard Option OWB w Alligator Overlay I use for Carry
(4) Custom job [not part of his product line] with Rattlesnake overlay

And a few of his mag holders.

I just love wearing this one - I matched it out with a Bob Mernickle leather / Alligator inlaid belt:

Two glocks and a 1911.

Carry. I am not a LEO.

I wear my full-frame Kimber with just jeans 'n t-shirt so yeah, I'm really happy with how it conceals. He shaves off every bit of unnecessary kydex to reduce printing. As for the OWB's, I don't consider any OWB to be great concealment but for what it's worth I wear my 'gator holster quite often with a suit jacket (weekdays I dress suit jacket every day because of work) and everything seems fine.

Top shelf. I consider BearClaw and Dan Hillsman to be the two premier kydex holster makers as far as quality and attention to detail. BearClaw obviously has the whole 'carry / concealment' thing through out pretty well and Dan at Hillsman Holster has designs that are a little more utilitarian. I've owned kydex from five different makers, BTW.
