Help me decide which OWB for CCW...

[Digex2]

I'm trying to decide between the following OWB holsters for CCW (Glock 23):

FIST #10 Shortcut in leather or kydex
G-Code OWB 15-degree cant belt slide
Galco Concealable
High Noon Slide Guard

I would appreciate any feedback from those who own or have used these holsters in the past. If you have pics actually wearing the OWB holsters, so much the better.

I know nothing of any of the choices, I'm sorry to say, but I highly recommend the services of Eric Larsen. He's a great guy.

Wes, your bad ..but I appreciate it.

Pics of others wearing the setups really wont help you except to get a better idea of what you think you want. I dont mean to sound negative..but Ill explain.

OWB carry is a great way to do it. Take into account that the farther back you wear the gun the more cant your likely to need for a smoother draw and better concealment. Rd ht. is more a product of how your built..arm length vs torso/leg lengths...to get the gun at the right height for you.

A belt holster or slide style with an FBI cant should be worn at 4.30-5.00 to get a good draw for most people. The closer you get to 3.00 the less cant you want.........

You also need more cant to assist in concealing a larger gun..say a 1911 or CZ75..so. It draws the muzzle up and the grip into the small of your back..both are needed for concealing a larger gun.

Take it all into consideration and start your search that way....

I wear a pancake at 4.00 with 10 deg. of cant and its perfect for my long arms and my build....best I can get. I wear a belt style holster at 3.30 with a little over 5 degrees of cant...this works the best for me and this style.

Its all up to how your built, your preferred carry location, your gun and draw style..................

Shoot well............

Yeah, I'm your own personal advertiser.

But I wouldn't go around plugging your stuff if I didn't know that you're a good guy. You deserve it. One of these days I'll get my butt in gear and have you make me one.










And then I'll plug you even more.
