X-Concealment "C" Series Review
Posted: Wed Mar 06, 2013 5:24 pm
I posted this over on Glocktalk as well but I thought I would share with all my Texas CHL friends as well since I first posted here looking for advice on an OWB holster. I did finally find one:
I've been wanting to try out an OWB holster since I started carrying my Glock 19 back in January. The Crossbreed IWB holster worked pretty well and its pretty comfortable, but i just feel like the 19 is small enough I should be able to put it OWB and still be able to conceal.
I ordered a Galco Concealable, I wore it for a whole day and hated it, not comfortable for me, cant was too extreme, didn't feel like waiting weeks and weeks for the leather to break in.
I was very interested in the Raven Concealment holster and liked the way it looked but the price was really high, plus I would have to order the "pancake wings" separately adding even more to the cost. Add to that a 30 day wait or longer. Passed on it.
I saw a picture of the X-Concealment Holster somewhere, I really can't even remember where but it looked like exactly what I was looking for. "Pancake Wings" included by default!
I found their website, and the price was right, totally worth a try out. Only $67.99, plus there is a 15% glocktalk discount (see here: http://glocktalk.com/classifieds/showpr ... t-3b&cat=8 )
I ordered it on Feb 27th and received it on March 6th.
I put it on and knew immediately I had found the right holster for me. Tight against the body, the gun slides in and out easily but retains it well enough to be moving (even jumping) around.
It seems to be built very well, nice thick rigid kydex on the outside and a thinner ever so slightly flexible kydex on the inside. The 10 degree cant is perfect for a 3-4oclock.
Here are pictures of it and of it on me with my new Wilderness Tactical Instructors' Belt (1.5in 5 stitch, SO COMFORTABLE yet secure). Please excuse my lack of undershirt. I wasn't about to get change on account of ya'lls sensitivities.
As you can see I'm about avg build, (sometimes on the skinny side) and about 6'1" on a good day.
