three holsters for the 380 and xd9
Posted: Tue Jan 04, 2011 2:30 pm
I have three holsters for my two carry firearms. haven't found one i like for the 1911 yet
the bersa 380 i have an uncle mikes soft sidekick #1
it is great for comfort when sitting and is easily removed when i drive to place it in the door pockets, however being soft it doesn't hold as well as i think it should and i find myself adjusting it as i walk, not in your face adjusting, but discreet adjusting like a phone or something in my pocket. Its not like the bersa is getting loose, which its not. its more like its sliding in my upper pocket towards a more forward tilt.
the second one is a Houston RP1 for the 380, it came with the bersa, its great at holding, almost to well, if the holster gets a the slightest out of your straight up pull, it takes both hands to release the bersa, this i dont like and if i sit down it causes my leg to go to sleep.
the third is the holster from Springfield for the xd9, its almost perfect, it is comfortable sitting or standing, but driving it is bothersome unless the xd is in the holster, which i guess really shouldn't matter.
the last week or so i have been alternating all three around the house, yard and mowing the grass, (coastal hay doesn't give up for winter)
and haven't had one disembark its holster or cause me to be "uncovered" . In fact the xd was so comfortable it could be thought of not there.
so the big question is what is everyone else using for good comfortable holsters for a small 380 and the larger xd? I would prefer to carry the xd, rounds carried to me is a either, 7 or 16 ,
thanks
