What makes a good holster?

[doorgunner]

I like having a holster that you do not notice. Most of the time i just have the gun in my pocket.

You know it really depends on the setting in which you are carrying. If you are likely to be in a seated position when the need arises to defend yourself, I would think that a concealed holster along the beltline would be difficult to use effectively. Perhaps something more under your arm, half way up the ribs would be preferred. Any recommendations in that regard?

I have been looking for a good middle of the back holster (left handed) for a Bersa 380 Any Ideas?

Snakebite, are you familiar with middle of the back holsters? If so, then I can't help you much because I've found them to be so uncomfortable that I just don't use them at all. But, if you're not, then please use something cheap to try it out. I don't want to see you spend big bucks on a nice back holster only to find out that you hate it.

I found this holster to be very comfortable on my side, IWB, but I've not tried it at Small of Back(SOB). Comp-Tac is very responsive to the customer, fast in fulfilling orders, and very friendly.

I wear different holsters when I wear different clothing or when I'm in different conditions.

When I am wearing work clothes (dress pants, shirt and tie), I wear an ankle holster. I just don't think I can conceal a weapon any better and get to it any faster than with an ankle holster. Here's the key though, I wear it on the inside of my leg. If you are right handed, you need to wear it on the inside of the left leg.

When I wear normal street clothes, I use an IWB holster. I wear a pair of shorts or jeans that are 1 size too big and leave my shirt untucked. I wear my IWB at about 4:30-5 O'Clock on my waist band. Just behind the hip bone. The holster has a 15 degree cant, which makes it easier for me to get to and keeps it out of my way. Sometimes when I get in the car, I have to adjust the weapon, but even when I'm with someone that doesn't know I'm carrying, they don't really understand what I am doing.

When I am just hanging around the house or working in the garage, I just wear a paddle holster on my side with an untucked t-shirt.

I try to keep my weapon concealed at all times. I don't want to take my advantage away by displaying the weapon before it's needed. I will display it to persuade someone from doing something bad, but I don't want anyone to know I have it until it's time.

Hope this helps a little.

Any recommendations in that regard?I use the Blackhawk Serpa Holster CQC righthand Model I carry in the crossdraw position with a forward cant (LIKE CORDELL WALKER TEXAS RANGER) I carry a M&P .40 FS my G22 also fits the same holster I have no problem even when straped in by my seatbelt while driving.
