there are two things i do not like about this style of holster, but then again, its just my taste:
1. not a whole lot of retention, depending on the manufacturer. if for some reason you are in a physical scuffle and you fall down, or if you have to run, jump a fence, or exert any sort of sudden movements, there is a possibility your pistol may fall out. knowing my luck it would happen when i really didn't want to introduce a gun into the mix, or when i needed it and it fell out instead.
2. they don't offer alot of protection to the weapon's slide. i get in and out of cars, lean up against things, etc. and i don't want my slide and barrel crowning all banged up against the seat belt (im right handed) or whatever my big fat hip rubs up against. i also prefer a black holster with a pair of black pants so if the bottom of the holster accidentally protrudes out, it is harder to recognize it as a gun barrel.
i can't really comment about comfort, but i can say this. i love Galco leather, but their SOB (Small of Back holster) is about as painful of a holster as i've ever worn. put one on a full size auto and then to sit in your car and watch yourself get lower back pain.
the concealment is terrible too, the gun butt sticks up and catches on your clothing!
