Hello everyone. first of all I'd like to thank ya'll for the knowledge and past threads that have enlightened me in the world of firearms and helped me make smart purchases. THR is a great resource.
I'm in need of a holster for a Ruger sp101 2.25 for cc.
I wanna carry 24/7 eventually and need something that is secure even doing somersaults and handstands (I can get crazy). I'm also a pretty small guy 5' 11" and 155 lbs. pretty fit build. I also wear light but tight clothes (khakis and a loose shirt mostly, as I live in hot AZ) so would like something thin. Just enough for me to know it ain't falling out. I've looked at bladetech, the bianchi 3s, and a few others suggested. But, I'm not sure I want a leather holster because it will make the whole deal even thicker then it has to be, although I like leather. I think that a snapping backstrap would ease my worries.
Also just tucking it in my shorts/pants, I can tell I'd prefer a high riding ~5 oclock position.
So basically I think I'd like kydex but with a strap. Is ,say, a blade tech Nano IWB pretty freaking secure all the time?
Dare I say, I'm tempted to get a clipdraw, but I can hardly bring myself to tape a piece of metal to such a beaut. And besides, until I'm a more seasoned gun handler, I want the trigger covered. I know, I know "never have a guns trigger uncovered like that", It's just a thought.
-How secure is a kydex holster?
-How much thicker does a leather holster compare?
Thanks heaps, Eric
