Re: Need Holster Advice...

newTexan wrote:Hey guys,

I have a couple pistols now and I'm looking for a holster (or two) for each of them. I had been using the "free" holster that came with my XDm, but it's not really something I could wear anywhere but the range. I was given a IWB holster for my Glock 19 when I got it, but that one is falling apart.

I have a Springfield XDm and a Glock 19, and I'm looking for a way to carry them around. Was thinking maybe one OWB for the range and one IWB for carry, but then again there's no reason I can't carry with a OWB or use a IWB at the range. With an open mind, I visited my local gun stores looking. Both places told me the same thing..."Sir, our holsters are all crap"...

So, now I turn to the internet for advice and recommendations. I'm a large person (5'11", 255#) but dropping it over time. What do y'all think? Should I go with separate range vs carry holsters? Any good recommendations that aren't crap but won't break the bank?

Thanks!
I carry a MaxTuck from http://www.whitehatholsters.com/Default.asp. Mine is Horsehide with black kydex, but they also offer cowhide and many color and pattern choices for the kydex. The advantage that white hat has over the SuperTuck is in the interchangeable kydex, mounted to the backing with screws and nuts, so you can buy one holster for the Glock, and extra kydex for the XDm, so you can carry either one. I carry a Taurus Public Defender in mine, it is comfortable, concealed, and easy to draw from. Tony and Sam are good people to deal with, and they are local to me (Arlington, Tx), so I just drove over and picked my holster up when it was ready.

Good luck and welcome to the forum.
