I need some ideas/advice on a holster. I just purchased a Glock 19. I'm looking for a OWB holster for open carry. I'm thinking of a leather holster to fit on my belt. Should I get a holster to fit on my belt or will a clip on holster do as well. Getting in and out of a vehicle, will a clip on holster stay put. I'll also want to carry an extra magazine.
Any advice and/or ideas appreciated.

Galco Fletch works pretty good. El Paso Saddlery Tortilla flat also a nice holster. A good belt is also helpful when carrying a bigger pistol. I started wearing a KORE Essentials belt for EDC and dress clothes. Makes a difference for sure.

Yep. I’ve got two Galco Fletch holsters. One for my Glock 19 and Glock 32, and one for full sized 1911’s. They have worked great for me for years.

Randy, for WIW this was my experience when I decided to carry all the time. I went tnrough a lot of different, quality holsters and spent a good deal of money. The holsters mentioned above are all good quality. I decided on a pancake style holster because it rides close to my body and minimizes printing. I tried strong side carry, crossdraw and shoulder holsters. The holster I like best is from Azula and is available on eBay. They were less than $50 then, might be slightly more due to the Biden buck syndrome. I think the final choice is a matter of personal preference but all suggestions are helpful. You will need a substaintial belt.
I know you asked about leather, but if you are open to considering Kydex, I make them and could do something for you. The OWB design I do sits close in to your body and conceals well. I’m attaching a couple pics as an example. It carries well for long periods of time.
Full sweat guard. Can cut for an optic if you have an MOS model. The one in this pic is also cut to allow for a longer or threaded barrel if you have/want that feature.
Cross Breed.The ones I have can be configured for IWB or OWB.Very comfortable and retain the pistol very well.
Its all right to be white!! Stupidity left unattended will run rampant Don't argue with stupid people, They will drag you down to their level and then win by experience
Triple K makes a good plane Jane leather owb holster with thumb break. I have a couple for woods carry or around the ranch.....also have had a desantis that is nice...... anywhere else I go iwb and kydex..... muddyriver tactical or fist make good kydex.
Oldman03: Anything but leather! Gave up on that type holster many years ago. One of my Glocks, that I often carry concealed, has an Uncle Mikes fabric holster with a built on extra magazine carrier at the vertical front of the holster. Easily concealable, reliable and no wear and tear on the pistol. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy
