    fobus paddle holster......this holster, fits clost to the body(IMO) and doesnt require it to be looped throught the belt which, when using holsters like that for me, my weapon didnt feel too secure. i had a glock 17(9mm) previously and switched to fobus because of the fact that the paddle goes under the pants and there are little clips that hook onto the belt, keeping the weapon close to the body and there is no "flop" like associated with some belt holsters...my g21 doesnt flop!! oh, and i dont wear my pants down past my ass either, which helps.

    Here is on of my holsters. I use this one when I am wearing clothes that are not very bulky. I only paid 15 bucks for it. I have had this one for 5 years so its pretty worn.

    I carry with a Fobus paddle as well. I have a bunch, but my paddles are by far the most comfortable. I like my Fobus because it has a positive retention hold on the gun and it doesn't move around. It's easy to manipulate and stays close to the body. It also can be worn in the car with a seat belt without it bothering you.

    I have some inside the pants, but I've always found them to be more uncomfortable than paddles. It also makes it a little more difficult to draw because it likes to snag a lot more.

    I've worn mine even without a belt. I like them.

    Uncle Mike's are ok, good for the price. Forbus paddle is the only holster I felt comfortable with, without the retaining strap. Depends really on how much your going to spend... Some of the custom made ones you forget it's there.....

    I have the paddle too. I dont wear it that much because I like to forget that i am carrying and with that holster I cant use it with alot of the clothes that I wear (unless I want to open carry) and I can always tell that it is there instead of being able to forget about it

    The fobus paddle is great if you are pulling out your weapon and holstering it often. The "in the pants " holster is a PIA to put back after you pull out compaired to the paddle

    I use a Galco Inside the Pant Holster for my G30. It also has the shirt tuck feature. I had an Uncle Mike's in the pant holster for my previous handgun, but after carrying a few months it got worn out and the gun would slip out if tilted 90 degrees.
