I make my own holster's they are very easy to make you don't need any special tools. All you need is a toaster oven a pop rivet tool that can be bought anywhere a heat gun for fine tuning a hand coping saw and same sand paper. As for the pres. I made myself a nice one, but you can just use a couple of pieces of wood with some type of foam Rubber And clamp it. You don't need all the gimmick stuff. I can make all most any type of holster all I buy is the kydex and pop rivets & thing's like that when I need to. It gives an old 🧓 retired electrician something to do. Have a good one.

That's all I ware is paddle holsters. C.E. holsters are one brand I use. So comfortable I almost forget I have it own. I have tried numerous different styles of carry and paddle holster are by far my favorite. Stays on very well until I decide to take if off.

I primarily carry concealed with an IWB holster, but I do like paddle holsters for those super rare times I open carry.

Those hooks were my question. Nice and strong, better than many belt clips. I love the Kydex feel over leather. Thanks for the review. Got a subscriber.

Paddles are the best

You didn't really go into how the paddle part of the holster works for you. I just purchased a Fobus paddle for my P365X. Been using Fobus paddles since the mid '90s. This new one, the gun locks in and releases great, but the paddle is tiny and it just DOES NOT want to stay attached to the same pants that the older Fobus holsters lock on to. This new Fobus is going back. I would have liked to hear your review of how this Concealment Express holster locks onto your pants/belt.

Yes thank you for the advice I do have one of their holsters so I simply ordered the tactical belt loop

Nice honest review, I just ordered a paddle for my x compact holster will be about 1/4 longer than firearm but I'm good with that, just for range work but that click in makes me comfortable to wear out in mtns. I conceal aiwb have done forever no problems

Great review I own the IWB I love my first holster CE I bought the OWB with the belt loops Replace one of the loops broken. unlike my first one Gen 4 G21 Stay safe

I have a paddle like the one you show here for my Hellcat Pro. It is the most uncomfortable paddle I have ever used. Because of the design it can only be used inside the pants, unless you skip a belt loop. The two 90 degree corner "hooks" dig into my skin and cause a lot of discomfort, regardless of my activities. If they work for others out there, that's great, carry on. It did not work for me at all, and I will not be buying another one.

I love my paddle holsters. You can take the screws off of the paddle holster and add a belt loop if you insist on it. I personally prefer Blackhawk kydex holsters. They are built extremely well.

What are your thoughts on paddle holsters? Like them? Hate them? Let's here you in the comments!

I use level 2 retention only because I prefer to open carry. I have been thinking about trying iwb just can't seem to decide what holster for the test

I'm more interested in wondering why you stop caring the P365 and went with the lower round count Glock 43. The only reason I'm curious is because I noticed I stopped carrying my Hellcat and went back to my M&P shield 2.0.

will this work with your standard pair of levi jeans? Also, does it sit closely to the hip and stay in place?

My OWB one for my Glock 19X is crap! It moved around too much. The opposite on the IWB one for the same gun. I guess you just get a bad one sometimes

Which style do you prefer?

strange, i hate every other type of holster besides paddle holsters.

As a OWB guy, I prefer a belt loop OWB holster. I could toss a couple brands I prefer, but I won't. I'm 6'2", buck 95, always in jeans, cowboy boots and a shirt with a flat no tuck bottom. Carry a 43X, unless u lift up my shirt, u will not know I'm carrying. That said, I realize a paddle holster is easy to install and remove, I just soon take the extra time to install my belt loop OWB holster. Just my opinion here, not making waves. The OP likes a Paddle holster, that's his desired carry, to each his own...

Only real question is why for the love of god did you switch from a Sig p365 to a Glock 43.
