    Holsters

    I hope this is the right place to ask the question, but I'm looking for an inside the waistband (IWB) holster. There seem to be so many options (leather, kydex), and prices are all over the place.
    In particular, I'm looking for something for my Beretta Nano 9mm and maybe my Springfield XD. I'm working on my CCW here in Orange County.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    If I should be in a different section, please let me know and apologies is so.

    I am not sure what you are asking exactly. It appears you will be using the IWB for CCW.

    Are you looking for the cheapest, most comfortable, or most fancy one?

      Yes, thank you for clarifying, I am looking for a IWB for CCW, doesn't have to be cheap, comfortable is good. I don't need fancy, just a good holster.
      I'm not sure if Kydex is the way to go, or leather?

      Any recommendations would be great.

        The trouble with holster shopping is...you don't get to look at anything but photos. I'm going through the same process.

        I think I know what I want, but I decided early I want leather, iWb, and went from there, looking for the best reviewed, well made comfortable holster.

        Interesting name you have, milt sparks is very well thought of for holsters of the type I described.

          My N82 Tactical Pro's are hands down the most comfortable IWB holsters I own.

            Might try a Ramora holster to find the position and can't you prefer.
            Then, if you want to try a different type of holster it might narrow down the choices.
            I personally like the Ramora. I found 2:00 with a fairly severe cant is comfortable for me and conceals well with a full-size PX4. I'm 5'8", 250 lb.

              There's also a holster thread in the holsters etc forum - http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/f...splay.php?f=74, but it's really a list of online sellers more than a set of recommendations.

              Rule of thumb is, you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince/princess ...

              It would be easier to consult with your CCW trainer about where (on you) to carry, and where (geographically) you might carry, and what fits your body, and what you might be wearing and umpty-ump other things that influence holster choice.

              Frozen in 2015, it is falling out of date and I can no longer edit the content. But much of it is still good!

                I hadone. It got lost when I moved houses, but it was comfy as it gets.

                    I saw a few members recommend alien gear holsters. I gave it a shot and am very happy with their IWB for my glock 19. They are very affordable and I will be ordering again.

                      I'm going to give you my experience. You take what you want, throw away the rest. I'm 5'5" weight 167 lbs. My waist size is 34". I can conceal a 1911 commander at the 4 o'clock position with very little cant. A crossbreed holster helps me do this.

                          I took a chance with Alien Gear holsters and could not be happier. For the price of under ~$70 shipped for two holsters is a great deal. I got one for my P938 and one for my XDs and they are extremely comfortable. I don't know how long they'll last, but have held up since October nicely. I think I had to wait about 6 weeks though.

                          If you are not outraged you are not paying attention!!!

Perhaps that's why you're better suited in your present employment. You don't understand what it means to provide for the publics safety. You just don't know.

                            Check out hidden hybrid holsters. Comfortable, well made, great customer service. I love mine for my shield.

                              Holsters are a hard thing to do!
                              California's politicians and unionized government employees are a crime gang that makes the Mexican drug cartels look like a Girl Scout Troop in comparison.
