Memories of Holsters past, current and future...

[LuckyDuck]

I was in a discussion on another forum about how holsters tend to... accumulate I'll say. Anyway curiosity got the best of me and I pulled the G19 sized holsters out of one (and just one of the boxes/for one of the models) to illustrate the point. Surely I'm not the only one with this affliction chasing after the next "best" holster.

I might not be able to name them all but I'll try- from top to bottom/left to right let's give it a shot...

Top Row: Crossbreed Supertuck (one of the few cow leather options I have from them) & a Galco "Jackass" shoulder holster

2nd Row: Kramer horsehide IWB, a local kydex manufacturer (no longer in business) IWB, Simply Rugged Pancake, & Bianchi paddle holster of some sort.

3rd Row: Fairly sure that's a Bladetech IWB, a Raven Concealment Perun, another Bianchi model "Yaqui style", Another Bianchi (maybe a "soft tuck") and oddly enough, yet another Bianchi...

4th Row: Kirkpatrick "under cover", DeSantis something or another IWB, and a Raven Concealment Phantom...


So there's 14 there and just out of one box and for one model... I might have a problem and not even going to go through the other boxes to see what else I may have in "inventory". Anyone else have a similar problem?

Likely not many of us that don't have at least one plastic storage bin full of holsters. I know I do ...

I’ve bought 3 appendix carry all for the same gun

I think I’ve learned my lesson….

This is why I only have holsters for guns I actually carry.

I can see this is actually worse than having a set of dies or some brass, so you buy a rifle to match.

I have a partial solution for you.
Send me the Kirkpatrick and I'll have an excuse to buy my first Glock

Surprisingly, one of the only areas of my life and hobbies where I was completely happy after my first purchase was an IWB kydex holster from Ozark Holster Co. Small little garage shop that I found out about on an old forum I used to frequent. Those were ordered circa 2016 but he is no longer in business. I have one for my G19 and G27.

Currently searching for a quality kydex OWB "high rise" holster for both Glocks now. Have my eye on Cranky Texan Holsters for that one.

I’ve got a box with at least 10+ different Glock holsters buried in my reloading room’s closet (mostly kydex and some leather, mostly AIWB, ranging from ~$60-200)… Blade-Tech, Comp-Tac, Raven, JM4 Tactical, G-Code, T-Rex, you name it.

But my search finally came to an end, and for the last 5+ years my EDC CCW has been a Remora Gen II Ambidextrous Sweat Shield Holster (full-size G17 worn AIWB). It’s been the best, most comfortable, and most importantly, useable/useful CCW holster I’ve ever had. Whether gym shorts, jeans, or pants with a belt, I just stick it in my pants and go, and it cost a whopping $35.
