Hello all! This is a pretty specific question, but I'm hoping I can get some tidbits of advice and perspectives even still. I did search the forum and didn't find much about this specific combo.
I've tried a few holsters for my KLCR including the Ava IWB hybrid kydex holster and the remora with a solid, kydex core gun belt. I didn't like the amount of retention on the Ava - I feel like more is better. I can only use the Ava as a 4 oclock IWB and I would like the option of appendix carry since I know the gun prints when I bend over and it's annoying and doesn't work with my clothing very well. The remora is handy as a protective sleeve and it's easy to use, but doesn't really work for me as well as I might hope. I want to practice my draw and the remora doesn't make it easy to do this since I have to keep taking it out and putting it back in over and over. Sometimes it will come out along with the gun!
I want to throw down for a really high quality holster and I was hoping someone had experience with this combo.
I really like the idea of being able to turn a OWB holster into an IWB holster since I want to carry on my strong side at 3 oclock OWB as much as possible in the winter. I value a quick draw and retention over total concealment - obviously I don't want to flash people but if it happens it's not the end of the world. I also want to be able to open carry OWB for future holster drawing, IDPA, walking around the woods, gun classes, etc. Retention is very important to me, but I don't want a thumb break.
So, from what I've read it seems like the Silver Dollar would be perfect for OWB and IWB 4 and 3 oclock.
So here are my questions:
I'm most interested in the opinions of women and smaller guys. My waist is about a 28-30. Is the silver dollar holster thin enough front to back that it's suitable for appendix IWB carry? Is it comfortable in that position with a good belt?
Is the silver dollar suitable for carry 3 or 4 oclock in between my pants and my belt using the loops? I really like the feel of between belt carry using my remora with a good cover jacket. Amazingly it's more secure than having the remora IWB!
Any suggestions or tips before I pay almost 100$ for one of these?
