    When I say skinny, maybe not so skinny...
    Possibly shopping for a holster for a new acquisition, Kimber Ultra Carry. I tend to like/use the Crossbreed Supertuck but wondering if there's something else out there comparable and less expensive, or even better. What are other options I should consider? I havent shopped holsters in a few years. Lend me your recommendations

    Thunderwear is also what I use for going to the movies...
    due to the cute little Metal Detectors at Certain Pensacola theaters.

    Im liking that daraholster option at this point. I've never used a straight kydex holster, always have used the hybrid or leather. Any feedback?

    I have a couple that you're welcome to come by and look at in person. My main edc holster is a kydex appendix for my shield and I also have one for a Glock 19. My G19 holster has the claw on it which is awesome for keeping the gun pressed against yourself and offers less imprinting. Great holsters at a decent price in my opinion. They offer so may configurations (firearms, cant angle, ride height, customization). My shield holster is molded to accept my TLR-6

    For carry, I use a stealthgear ventcore. Of all the hybrid IWB holsters i've tried, this fit me the best.

    placed an order with and gonna try wethepeople holsters. Found them to be rather inexpensive compared to others, maybe for good reason, maybe not. Also located a coupon code (america) that saved some $$. It'll be my first "all kydex" holster. If I like the full kydex but dont like the holster much, I will look into some of the other offerings suggested, and thank yall for the suggestions.

    I've heard good things about those holsters.

    Kydex holsters can be either really expensive or really cheap.
    Depends entirely on who's doing the work and what they figure
    their labor is worth...

    Upside, anyone can make a kydex holster, just as anyone can make
    a leather one. Just takes a little effort & a few specialized tools.
    The more ornate you go, the more stuff you need.
