I've read a lot of fav's thread but they're all over the board. I just thought this approach might be interesting since I know I use different ones for different clothes/purposes. I've researched/tried tons of guns/holsters until landing on my go-to's below.

Mine are as follows, by smallest caliber first:

.380 ACP - Sig P238 (non-SS as it's lighter) w/crossbreed microclip
Ruger LCP w/Galco ankle lite

9MM - Sig P938 w/crossbreed minituck cut down to microclip

.40S&W - Glock 27 w/stoner 415 IWP, deep conceal option, straight cant

.38 special - S&W 642 airweight w/stoner paddle (rarely carry concealed)

.45ACP - Springfield XDS - No holster yet. Finally got XDS and recalled...

Thanks for your input
 
I use Kramer leather IWB / horsehide with forward FBI tilt for everything I choose to carry ...( a different holster for each gun..) but same mfg.../ or an Outside Waist Band scabbard holster - Kramer horsehide with FBI tilt ...if I want to carry a revolver...

9mm/:
a. Sig 239 ....( Kramer )
b. Wilson Combat CQB 5" in 9mm...( 1911 holster - Kramer)

.45 acp ....
a. Wilson Combat CQB 5" in .45 acp ( same 1911 Kramer holster) - this is my primary carry 90% or more of the time...

.357 Mag...
a. S&W model 19 or 66 - K frame - 4" ....(Kramer scabberd / OWB )...

I have Kramer holsters...mostly scabbards with forward FBI tilt for Sig 226's, Sig X-Five - but I don't carry any double stack guns.

Same thing, every day, in any clothing. The holster and pistol stay the same. When I need deeper concealment, I switch the belt to a BladeTech Looper gun belt, which completely negates any slight droop.
