OK........ Save me here..... save me from being one of those folks with a $400 box of holsters that don't get used!!
Here is what I have and here is what I need........ I'm calling on personal experience from everyone out there. This is for concealed carry.
Sig P239
I have a Bianchi Model 100 – Professional™ IWB Holster
So far it's OK..... but I can't find the "perfect" spot for hours of carry.
I am guessing if I got jeans one inch bigger in the waist it would make a world of difference??
This gun carries fine in my SigTac coat. (Awesome coat BTW)
Sig P220 Carry
OK... this is one I fell in love with with the shorter slide...... but it is a heavy one and for IWB I'm just not feeling it here. At times I wish I wouldn't have bought it, but it is such a tackdriver and so much fun to shoot that I'll never get rid of it. Plus, I kinda have always been a fan of the 45ACP for SD.
I have NO holster for this one yet. It carries ok in the SigTac coat..... but it's almost like you need a counter balance on the other side! (I know, I know... I'm starting to get the itch for a .38 snubby)
Anyway....... here we go. I need real world advise from the mistakes you all have made in holster buying. Pass your knowledge on to me if you would.
I usually wear my shirts untucked...... especially in the summer. I guess I am starting to wonder if I might use an OWB holster more.
Are there some good OWB holsters that would tuck these guns in close to me so as not to print to bad..... AND be comfortable....And a loose shirt would cover them up just fine? I like good quality leather but I don't want to spend big $$ on some custom job.
It gets kinda overwhelming looking at holster selections........ my eyes start to spin and they all start looking the same. My main concern is to get a good holster so that I can start to carry the P220C more often. If I find an awesome OWB holster for it, I am guessing I can get the same model to fit the P239. I guess some of your advise on any good belts you've found work the best would be appreciated too.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions......
