My build; which holster for 9mmSC? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Jettubby · 04-05-2006, 09:58 PM

Not to beat the holster issue again but I just got the 9mm SC and looking for a holster. I currently have the Galco Silhouette OWB but the problem is that it prints at the top of the gun. The top and sometimes thumb break stick out. I'm open to IWB and OWB. It's also open barreled which I like because I can carry my 45 or 9mmSC, but I hate the way the barrel rubs my pants and especially the rivets on my jeans. They like to scratch the barrel.

Here is my build and clothing habits. I'm 6'4" and 200lbs so a little thin. I have hips that stick out thus sticking out a 3 O'clock OWB carry. I usually wear jeans or dockers with my shirt tucked it but will leave shirt out unless it's a dress shirt. I'm hot natured so usually don't wear jackets (except in winter). Money is not an issue if I can find the right solution. I hate to order different stuff just to try. Any suggestions for IWB and OWB would be appreciated. The "Answer" is sounding good but very expensive and a long wait. Thanks

Check these out, if your looking at the "Answer". They may work well for you too.

Sure like my Kramerleather.com horsehide belt scabbard with an FBI tilt to it. It is close and tight to the body. Denim shirt over it or aloha shirt and it will never be seen. A little pricey but I think you get what you pay for in life most of the time (except my exwife). Oh, a good belt is just as important and not cheap either.

the c-t.a.c. holster. I'm 5-9 125lbs and it works for me. I had my left hand model delivered in 4 business days.

For Summer IWB carry, a holster with a Kydex body may be best; less likly to soak up sweat and salt. The Blade-Tech UCH is a good choice. So is the CTAC. The mack daddy is the "Answer".

the blade tech looked excellent. Except the long lead time.

With the CTAC, which hook system works the best? The C-Hook looks the most inconspicuous.

i thought the c-clip would be hard to get off because of the clip on the top. I went with the j hooks. I don't tuck my shirt so it didn't matter to me. That one with the velcro on the back of your belt is completely out of sight even if you tuck. I wasn't about to put velcro on all my belts though.
