+1 on needing a good belt. I like the 5.11 products. I'm also a big fan of Kydex but there's no need to pay exorbitant prices for it. These guys are local to me and make a great product at a low price:
https://krounds.com/product/traditional-iwb-kydex-holster/I briefly carried in a Blackhawk Serpa until I became aware of three documented problems with it:
- the locking mechanism can jam if a piece of gravel or other debris gets into it
- the belt attachment point is weak enough that it breaks off easily
- people tend to drag their trigger finger off of the locking mechanism and onto the trigger resulting in a negligent discharge that usually hits the shooter in the thigh
As a result, it has been banned by FLETC, LAPD, the US Army, the US Air Force, Front Site Training Center, and a number of high-end trainers including Larry Vickers and Kyle DeFoor. Some folks still use it but you don't have to be one of them.
