I use Milt Sparks IWBs and have for 30 years. Still have not worn one out, in spite of lots of use. I have multiple different example such as the Versa Max, Summer Specials, and a couple I don't recall the names. They all work well, but I find myself using and preferential to the old school Summer Special versions. I even picked one up for a 4" N Frame .44, which works rather well if you wear the proper pants and belt. This one is from 1991: The punchline is that they are excellent holsters, worth waiting a little longer for, since they will last longer than you will. If you are really going to carry a gun for hours on end, day after day, spending a little extra and getting a great holster instead of a mediocre one is a very smart thing to do. Otherwise it will end up in a box and you be back to looking at holsters in a few months. Been using the same VMII for more than a couple decades now. I wonder if they're making it optics friendly now? Indeed they are. My latest VMII is for a G48 with a holosun.

Since you all are backward anyway,😇 why not put your belt on the opposite way? Damn, I was just about to type the same thing. Wear it upside down and backwards.

Oh - clips. They generally suck. It ain't that hard to thread a good belt through loops/slots. All the clips I've tried either don't hold well or are just as much a bother to apply. The IWB holster I've been using exclusively for the last ten years or so has been the El Paso Saddlery C-Force, and it has a single snap on loop. It uses a high quality snap, so it has never come undone on me while wearing it, and is no problem snapping on or off the belt. No need to thread the belt through the loops, although that's how I used to roll when I used Milt Sparks IWB holsters, and it was no big deal doing that, either. Snap loops are great. But I find myself just leaving them snapped most of the time. Spoken like a right-hander. Try to thread a tight holster the long way around. I was a lefty for a while. And I have one belt that works best in reverse. If you practice POGO it's easiest to put it all together before you put on the pants. I usually do that the night before.

You either wanna wear IWB or you don't.
If you do, leather or Kydex matters not. The vast majority of people carrying today are wearing Kydex. For good reason.

Luckily Safariland makes a holster suitable for fat people. Google Safariland 18 IWB. This will not shift regardless of belt vs. loop fit and you will not have to wear your belt very tight to prevent gun holster shifting, this should help a lot for those with Michalin Man bodies.

I have a p365. Picked up a raven vanguard holster for it. Replaced the oem holster clip with an ulticlip and it works great for me. Personally I like the minimalist holster design

The only thing I like about Kydex is that reassuring click when you seat the handgun fully into it. Leather holsters with an inner synthetic doodad that 'clicks' over the trigger guard are getting more common in OWB, IWB with something similar are probably out there.

“Wifebeater” type undershirts are your friend when carrying IWB under a T-shirt or Polo. You can leave the shirt untucked yet keep something between the holster and your skin. I think I got this from TRH.

You have mentioned holsters before, I was staring at the pretty girl two pews up, and not paying enough attention. My questions were just that. Don't really care about the material, just want a gun holder that works well. And isn't miserable. What do you like, and why.

I use this combo for all my IWB carry. Made by a company called Cascadia Concealment. Hiding a full size gun is no problem.

I have been using am IWB holster by UM Tactical for my 365 for about 3 1/2 years now, almost every day. I like it a lot. I had a lot of reservations about a "plastic" holster, also about a clip on, but as long as I am wearing my usual 1 1/2" heavy leather belt, the clip snaps on and stays on, solid and stable. I like this holster enough I've thought about getting another, just in case they discontinue it. This is it: https://palmettostatearmory.com/um-tactical-iwb-sig-sauer-p365-holster.html
