I don't use one but know a few competent people that do. They have no complaints.

It's tough to buy a schitty holster these days.

HAWG Holsters.

Ulti-Clip most secure.

I use Muddy Tactical holsters, they are very comfortable. I find the rounded bottom (at the muzzle ) does not dig into me like so many that are not rounded.


I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects

I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

Really appreciate everyone's thoughts on this, I about wore out my tablet looking at everyone's suggestions. And all the other things that popped up on Google.

As I said, I really liked the Sig holster that came with the gun.
The design, the execution sucked. As one would expect in a holster that was designed to be IWB and OWB, ambidextrous, and cheap.

Finally ended up with this.
All black.

Very happy with it. It's really comfortable, and conceals well under a t shirt.
Even tucked. (Having love handles helps)😉


Whole thing has been an education. Have read IWB stuff for years, telling folks
how it's not really comfortable. How you have to adapt. How it just doesn't work for someone who isn't in perfect athletic condition.

I would have never paid the money to buy a holster with that in mind. Only even
tried it due to that POS free holster. A good holster addressed the issues it had
and showed me that all my previous assumptions were total BS.


Thanks to those who helped.

Anyone who thinks IWB might be too uncomfortable?


Buy a holster similar to mine, one that has compatability with numerous carry positions and ways to connect to the belt. You certainly can do it, comfortably.
The one trick is to find the where on you it's comfortable, along with the how to
hook it that suits you positioning and style.

Another vote for Milt Sparks IWB, I've got the Versa Max 2.

IWB - is about all day, every day, comfort of carry with good access.

The Galco Suede Stow-n-go is as light weight/thin/comfortable as you are likely to get.

Treat it with sno-seal and then silicone spray, and it will be sweat proof and protect your firearm.

Cut the rear belt tab off and it can be forward canted to whatever angle you desire, and still be secure.

And they ride high, so the pistol is easy to get out in a hurry, and have a reinforced lip so re-holstering is no problem.

I'm a Milt Sparks VM-2 kinda guy, so called them to get one ordered for the new DWX. They said it would be 6 months to a year before they even got a mold gun in, to start building them. Well I wanna use the damn thing now, so I bought a cheap Galco made for something else and remodeled the leather part, and put a heat gun to the kydex part to re-form it to work on the new shooter. After using it awhile, I'm kinda liking the heck outta it......

The Galco's (& Tommy Theis) are knockoffs of the Crossbreed design & work just fine if you like that design.....................they take up a lot of space in the pants; I used them for some time & then moved on to other designs that I like better for my needs.

If it squeaks, apply some linseed oil.

Really considered that type of holster.
And I might go that route if I wanna IWB carry something bigger.
It seemed like a lot for a 365.


The wait is what cause me to ignore Milt Sparks, Sam Andrews.......
My research turned up more guys building beautiful leather than I imagined.
Expensive. But not bad considering the work.
I wanted a holster now, not next year.

Hell, some of the kydex guys claim several weeks wait.


Some amused me.
$50 extra and you get it quicker!
What a joke, and scam.
Bet the guy pushed back doesn't benefit from the $50.

I can recommend Alien Gear, Cloak/Tuck.
They have lots of different options,
The Cloak IWB is very comfortable.

Sparks can't make a Criterion that can accommodate an optic, so I tried the VMII with an optic cutout for a P365. It rode too high for my liking and I sold it immediately. Now I just use kydex off-the-shelf stuff like a Blackhawk Stache or, if I want some side protection for the optic, the L.A.G. ambidextrous Liberator. I find that it may take some adjusting to get an optic gun to not print, so I prefer a holster that allows more adjustment to get the ride height and cant correct.
