One thing I did do Eric and it actually worked out okay. When I was younger and was making myself carry appendix and a kydex holster I got a doctor shoals woman’s high heel gel pad and velcroed it to the holster at the muzzle end. It did make it more comfortable and also push the butt of the gun closer into my body. But like I said now that I’m older I really like the o w b holsters I am wearing. Most comfortable way for me to carry that I have ever found.

What I consider a good pocket holster for my sig p238. It’s wide enough at the muzzle end to fill my pocket of a pair of jeans and keep in proper position. It has friction so the holster stays in the pocket. It masks the outline of the pistol while it’s in the pocket. Trigger is covered. I can get a reasonable firing grip.

Any IWB or OWB made by Mike’s. All of them are junk

Just my opinion! I have come to believe for myself that any over-the-counter holster especially those that claim that they fit multiple firearms, are not the best solution. I’ve tried many and just avoid them now. I know not everyone feels they can afford a good custom holster. But if you’re older like me and are looking at a box full of holsters and how much money is lying there perhaps it is worth saving for a while. How much did you spend on your firearm and did you save for it? The holster is probably the most integral piece of equipment in your EDC second only to your firearm itself. A good firearm and a quality holster to match will serve you for many years.

The belly band made by Cross Breed Holsters [newest model]is a good design but the material the band is made out of is junk.
it lasted about 10 uses and fell apart [no warranty on the band].
had to install straps over the magazine pockets to keep the mags in place
only used it for security at church on Sunday.[I know it sounds like a car salesman]went back to the freedom carry IWB for winter.
need to figure out what to use this summer.

Been buying Versacarry, nice belts and leather holsters. Do have a question though, I have a few pistols that are “not popular” for concealed or carry in general. Blackhawk does make a holster for them, Are Blackhawk holsters any good???

Blackhawk as a whole is superior quality gear, IMHO. I own a number of items from Blackhawk, from holsters to vests, after 15 years of use, still haven’t had to replace! Don’t know how they do it, but extremely durable, probably because they’re manufactured in USA.

You might want to check “Guns and Flowers Holsters”. They make some “universal” holsters that actually work.

Yes I have tried it out. You just didn’t work for me it was too thick and pokey for left hand draw I thought it was going to be great but I played with it for awhile and then long story short I chose to make a decision for a higher end holster like Tier 1 concealed for appendix carry 
plus I just added on discreet carry clips because they are thin and very solid

I have so many crappy holsters from impulse buying on Amazon over the years. Stick with the holsters reviewed by your trusted youtube gear reviewers.

Glad to hear more information as in this vid, about ensuring the trigger is fully covered by one’s holster.
The speaker also mentions how some holsters which are designed to accommodate lights - can inadvertently have too much open space around the trigger causing risk of something getting caught inside the trigger guard.
Interesting to me in that many of us purchase holsters online, without placing our own firearm in it before buying. Last I checked, my local range/shop will not allow us to test fit our own firearms in the holsters they sell. Thus making our purchase decision ever more important that we choose wisely.
My apologies of the screen shot of the video, to me is disrespectful to the loss of life, but the content does take the loss of life seriously.
Not just covering the trigger, but makes it inaccessible (removes the “oops” factor).

As sure as you buy one holster to try, you will soon try another. There’s a def learning curve to determine YOUR best option
