[QUOTE="TerryP, post: 3353160, member: 1564"] I have used a variety of holsters over the years and would like to comment here. Kydex is great for competition and general range work. Hybrid’s are cool because you can change plates for different pistols. I learned to stay with leather for street use for two reasons. 1. kydex holsters will “spit “ out the pistol way too easy during a physical fight. It’s true of both inside and outside the waist band models and hybrids. 2. Breaking upon contact with the ground and giving up the pistol during a fight. These issues were encountered during training using full size handguns. 1911 & g17 Remember your way more likely to get physical with someone than you are to shoot them. I will say that in real high temperatures and humidity I go to a kydex iwb due to the sweat problem.. Also kydex works pretty well with smaller lighter guns like an air weight J frame, g43 or shield. I use leather Askins Avenger style holsters for owb carry and a Milt Sparks summer special for iwb. [/QUOTE]
