The Galco Avenger is a similar, off the shelf, holster to the Sparks 55BN. I've also had a few of JM Custom Kydex's OWB1 holsters and they're an excellent, non-leather, option: https://www.jmcustomkydex.com/p/OWB1-G19.html

Local place makes kydex holsters and mag holders. Very popular as they have a three week wait list.

OWB I use the Galco Avenger, and the Blackhawk Serpa. They both work well.

I didn't realize how few holsters have zero cant until I started looking in response to this thread. Most of the ones I consider to have no cant actually have at least a little cant.

If it isn't for concealment, if you want something OWB thats solid to get you by until that Sparks arrives, a Safariland ALS is the ticket.

+1 on the 55BN. I've bought several now resulting from Mackay's initial recommendation to me. I also like the Simply Rugged Cuda, but it does have a slight cant to it.

I've told people that unless you're doing cartwheels or somersaults, you're good to go and at my age (59), if I'm doing that, I have worse problems.

If it isn't for concealment, if you want something OWB thats solid to get you by until that Sparks arrives, a Safariland ALS is the ticket. ALS is great, a little bulky but great for field use where an OWB with some retention is called for. The thumb lever can be a tad slick but 30 seconds work with a sharp tip soldering iron will cure that.
