Default JM4 Tactical leather magnetic holsters - any good?

I've tried a number of different kydex holsters but none of them are actually 'comfortable' enough to use daily. I have a small gut which probably isn't helping (working on it) but I've been considering trying a leather holster, and these with the magnetic aspect seem to work pretty well. I've seen some youtube reviews and it seems to be a good choice. I know it probably won't have the same retention as a kydex holster but is it worth a try? Any experience with these?
Thanks in advance

I prefer leather holsters. Both materials will wear the pistol with use, but leather is much more forgiving and retention is good without or without a magnet. Really don’t see the need for the magnet unless you’re carrying something really heavy. I appendix carry a Jericho 941 and P7, and the retension is fine there. Maybe it would be different if they were carried on the side or OWB with a cover garment.

Thanks for your input. Haven't tried leather but I would assume it would be a bit more comfortable. I like the idea of the magnet because it also serves to keep the gun's retention (having the slide attracted to the magnet).
