Ahhhh..the old debate; Leather vs. Kydex for a gun holster. It is much akin to 9mm vs. .45 or AR vs AK debates of old.\u00a0You have loyal disciples on both sides who are quick to tell you how they feel. As with all subjects, we here at HCS\u00a0like to give you the facts and let you decide, BUT in the end, of course\u00a0we have to choose one. When it comes to IWB\/AIWB holsters and mag carriers pertaining to the CCL, comfort is the dictating factor. If it is not comfortable, you will leave it at home..trust me on this. If your holster feels like a block of wood in your pants, you will most likely pass. The same criteria goes for mag carriers, even though they are typically worn on the belt horizontally or vertically, the ability to conceal is huge, and yes, some do it better than others. Another issue is how the holster connects to your belt: Options include: \u00a0j-hooks, clips, loops & tek-lok just to name a few. The best option\u00a0are slots through the holster or carrier itself, that way you have no weak point to snap or break at the wrong time and the holster will conform to your body better. It also limits what parts you will have to eventually replace over time, being that most snaps and j-hooks have some type of allen or phillips screw that attaches it. Fewer moving parts=less maintenance.<\/p>\n
