Is that a DeSantis?43x iwb. 4:00 NOT appendix. Kydex and mesh for Georgia/summer carry.
Well, that rules them out for me, at least for now. Thanks.I have a Garret Industries leather lined kydex holster mentioned above. I bought it because it was the only holster I could find for a beretta centurion. It is Ok. Nothing special.
That's not going to work for AIWB. That cant is designed for strongside hip carry.This one looks really good and checks most of the boxes. Cant will be adjustable with the 2 clips. It doesn't come with anything to change camming angle, and it looks like the clips are plastic. The Kydex shell is a single sheet that covers both sides.

All holsters are made out of some form of plastic. All holsters have some holes in them. I've never had a holster crack, but then I don't buy cheap crap.I'm looking at the Tenicors too. To me the plastic construction techniques they use look like many of the cheap amazon brands like DeSantis and CYA. For example, they use ridges in the plastic to increase stiffness. These raised areas are often the site of a failure. The holes where the clips are screwed in tend to crack. Maybe Tenicors don't cuz they use thicker/better materials, idk tho.

My o/u looks like i threw it out of a moving car lol...i dig itJust a syggestion.....don't just learn to live with finish wear on guns that get used and carried....learn to love it.
My favorite shotgun was pristine perfect when I bought it 10 years ago.....almost bnib browning a5 made in 1969. I hunt with it alot.....I mean alot.......the bluing has worn off the bottom of the receiver from loading shells and same with the back of the receiver from where I hold it when walking. I love that shotgun.....even with the finish wear. It gets oiled every time I put it away.....no rust at all
Got anything that'll fit a night hawk commander with a light lol?I've got a big plastic tub. It's out of control.
I really really made a concerted effort to get rid of that...and my rando cordsAnd this is why everyone I know, (including me), has a box of holsters in their garage/shop/closet.
Agreed.Is wear on the gun really that big of a deal?
I'm not being a smartass here.
I bought this one: Amazon.comUnsolicited advice alert!
Spend money on a quality gun belt. Makes a world of difference.
I have one of their leather style ones.I bought this one: Amazon.com
Sorry but we are transitioning to g speak carrying a glock is now referred to as packing glocksesI've been carrying glocks and other guns in either regular leather or regular kydex for years with minimal wear. They are carry guns are going to get banged around a little bit but none of mine hardly look "abused" not even my first g19 which probably has over 10,000 rounds through it and probably years of carry on it... and I'm a minimal maintenance guy.
Do soft lined kydex holsters put less wear on the gun? I am looking at the Safariland Species IWB holster. It has a Kydex exterior and a suede inner lining. At first thought this seems like it should be better for the finish. Is there a catch, does it trap dirt and actually scratch your gun more than an all plastic holster?

Get yourself a Glock and lose that nickel-plated sissy pistol.Stainless for the win, fellers.
That’s what I expect for DeSantis.Desantis was useless
My Vedder lightTucks have plenty of retention and the adjustability is super easy.Certum 3 put some instant marks all over my glock. But with a pillow, camming bar and f***ing with the clips got it to where I think the concealment is passable. Desantis was useless, no retention in comparison. Vedder LightTuck is also light on retention, not enough adjustability compared to the Tenicor.
Gonna try the Velo 4 next. I am pretty sure the bigger wedge on that vs Velo 5 is gonna work for me better.

Same here, whether single or double stack Glocks.My Vedder lightTucks have plenty of retention and the adjustability is super easy.
I just received my Velo5 from Tenicor for my Glock 43x. First impressions are I like it a lot.
Looks like all sales are final on their website. No returns.Tenicor are my go-to, great products.
I've got a mix of velo and certum models.
