    When I carry my Glock 19 IWB it usually rides between at a 3:30 and 4 o-clock position with a slight cant forward.
    When I am carrying my J-frame snubbie its almost always appendix.
    I have multiple holsters for each, what holster and carry position I choose depends on what I am wearing and where I am going.

    I use Remora holsters at 4 O'clock. In the summer I don't wear a belt and the Remora material works fantastically for staying put against your skin. I prefer to carry my 19, but also carry my LC9S Pro as it's so small. The LCR goes in the pocket of my shorts. I am not a believer in appendix carry, but to each their own. See which holster feels best for you and be honest with yourself about how you will cary.

    The "best" holster is the one that is comfortable enough that you'll actually carry daily using. I've spent more than I care to remember on holsters that are filling a box somewhere because I didn't like the way they felt when carrying

    Stealth gear is my go to holster now

    I'll have to look at the drawer of extra holders, but I've got some for a PPK, and probably a 1911.

    Just bought a Glock 36. Looking at a Crossbreed IWB, Alien Gear IWB or the tried and true Theis Holsters Hybrid (what I carry my G19 in). Anybody got a Crossbreed or Alien Gear? Likes/Dislikes?

    Carried a 442 for years, but started carrying an LCP for better concealment. Still love that little thing, though. LCR if you like Ruger over S&W, OP.

    Funny you mentioned the LCR, I swapped to one for just the reason you stated. I like Ruger more than Smith (mostly their politics).

    I had a crossbreed that I carried my sub compact Springfield XD 9 in, and it was my favorite holster. I carried at the 4 o clock position with a forward cant, and once it was broken in I forgot it was there sometimes. That's how comfortable it is.

    OP, ever carried an aluminum framed compact 1911? I find it pretty comfortable, but with tucked in shirts for work I didn't find it convenient or fast draw.

    How is your 26 a double stack slimmer than your 43 a single stack. Did you make a boo boo and get that backwards?

    I carry my G27 everywhere in a crossbreed. Once broken in, its the most comfortable holsters I've ever had. I've worn it on numerous 6, 8, & 10 hour trips and never felt it was there.
