I'm asking for recommendations on Glock 17 owb kydex restraint holsters that you have purchased and used. I'm 6'4"/250 and don't see how I could ever carry iwb. My job doesn't allow for daily carry. This will be occasional carry, but I'm big on comfort!

I have had very good results from these guys for OWB carry:

I bought one of these, and it works pretty well. Comes with both a paddle and belt loops which are interchangeable: http://www.safariland.com/paddle/model- ... 80944.html

Thank you both for your suggestions. I'm going to order one soon!

Concealment Express makes a very fine line of Kydex and carbon fiber holsters. I have a carbon fiber one for an HK that is absolutely top of the line in its class. They are friction retention only, but do a very serviceable job of that.



They have a pre-Christmas sale going for Glock models at under $40 each. That's a really hard deal to beat.

You might want to drop a hint to Santa.

Raven Concealment phantom with the OWB pancake wings works the best for me. I wear a nylon velcro "under belt" with that on it, so nothing comes out and over the belt like a clip or anything. I carry a 19 and a spare mag in slacks and a tucked in Polo every day and no one notices.

Another vote for Bravo Concealment.

ETA: They have holsters pre-made for popular guns, like the G17, that they'll ship out to you quickly if you want it fast and don't care for custom options.

Picked up the safariland 578 paddle holster yesterday at Cabela's. I tried it on at home and it holds close to the waist. I wear large jackets and shirts that will conceal just fine. I'm looking forward to trying it out when shopping with the DW.

I know it is not kydex, but give a serious look at Safariland's pancake holster with thumbsnap. I have both of these holsters, and I've only worn the 578 a couple of times, but pancake holster is my EDC, and if you like how close the 578 holds your G17 (which I also carry) close to your body, you'll LOVE how close and tight the pancake does it. And it is really comfortable, and conceals better than the 578:
