"push up" holster Reviews/Recomendations Please

[IdahoSkies]

Has anyone used any of the "push-up" holsters that let the pistol ride just below the belt? Like:

or

I'd like to know what people thought of them.

Thanks.

Concealment and accessability are tradeoffs. I suspect if you do some live fire training and time yourself, you will be much slower with a holster like this, because it adds to the complexity of accessing your gun.

I've been doing experiments with a tuckable of my own design and found that, while the holster is comfortable (with a full size M1911) and conceals very well, the gun is slower to get into action with this holster, as compared to my regular IWB design.

Is slowed accessability worth increased concealment? That's a decision each man has to make for himself.

I like that Pop Top...

...but not the guns it fits...I have moved the clips up on my IWB holsters to let the gun ride about 1" lower in the belt...comfy and more concealable...still quick and easy to draw...might try that with a soft holster...leather or nylon...I carry in front...on the side or behind the hip, I'd leave it up more to get a better grip on it...

I don't stick nothing down in my pants that God did not give me. The Fobus paddle is the greatest invention since sliced bread.
