Having read many of the recent holster posts, and tried several styles myself (IWB, SOB, shoulder, paddle) I've decided a paddle works best for me (based on cheap Sidekick & FOBUS), as comfort and convenience are important, and I don't have a lot of belt room (stocky, 5'9", 240 lbs., lovingly cultivated spare tire I keep telling myself I'll unload).
I'd like feedback on the options I'm considering for a 1911 (Springfield Ultra Compact or maybe Champion). Light weight and cant adjustability are pluses.
-Galco Pro or Concealed Carry Paddle
-Safariland 5181
-Wilson Tigershark (sharkskin?)
-BladeTech Paddle
-Pierside Paddle
I like Galco's removable holster concept. The Tigershark looks like a really good holster but doesn't appear to be cant adjustable. I've never used kydex, but the light weight of FOBUS plastic is nice.
General observations/experiences? Does anyone else make kydex paddles? Any suggestions I haven't mentioned?
Thanks,
SA Scott
