Now that it's getting warmer out (and I'm finding new range rat friends), I'm getting more range time in, but I'm also finding that I need to get some gear. What do you guys recommend for an OWB rig on an H&K USP? I've always liked Crossbreed, but I'm concerned about Kydex on a polymer frame. Thoughts? Thanks.
 
I don't always carry a USP OWB but when I do it's in a Garrett STX 2.0!:D The shell is kydex but the inside is leather. Very stable, comfortable and quiet. The holster rides high and tight to the body.

Here's a picture. Both are Garretts, the one on the left is the STX 2.0 for my USPf9.

Conversely, I think they are a perfect match. Both are lightweight, weather resistant, and very durable, and fairly inexpensive.

There are lots of good kydex options. I have kydex, not for a USP, but for a 1911, from Raven Concealment Systems, Garrett Industries, and Dale Fricke. In general, I suspect a canted pancake would conceal better than a straight drop wraparound, but the Fricke Gideon Elite works pretty well for that style.

Kydex holster reviews....

There's a young guy on YouTube.com who does in depth product reviews of Kydex and polymer holsters.
I don't remember the full title of the channel but it's Phily something or Phily Gear Corner. If I watch any new video clips, I will edit the post.
edit: It's PhillyEDC. That's the name of the Kydex holster reviews/T&Es.
He covers the fit, QC, features, etc. The production values are okay. The host gets many Kydex holsters and a few are fixed or modified styles that makers send a 2nd time.
