All my carry guns ride in Garrett Silent Thunders. Leather lined kydex. They absolutely stay open for one handed reholstering, have adjustments for comfort or different carry positions and quiet on the draw and very gentle on the gun finish.
Not cheap but worth it. Bob and Sheryl are good people.
I have since gone with Tagua Holsters. I like the SIDECAR model. It works IWB or OWB and is made of leather. I ordered one a while back off their web site
and I did not get a response back. I contacted them and they said they were out of stock. Okay....it happens. They went on to apologize stating they would rush one out from their factory. Next day I got a notice that one was being expediated via FED EX. I got it in 3 days including a trip through customs all the way from South America where they are made. OUTSTANDING customer service. I really like the fit and comfort of their holsters.

From their website:
Tagua Gunleather is most-known as a bastion of handcrafted leather artisanry in an era dominated by machine-made mass production. Leather is selected from range-grown, toughened cattle to create stronger holsters, each with unique character. Instead of computer programming, Tagua Gunleather uses skilled artisans to craft your holster with a sense for leather no machine can replicate.
I own one OWB kydex holster. Unless you holster and reholster a lot, they don't cause much wear. They are noisier than leather though. The last holster I purchased was an Azula. I'm a tightwad when it comes to holster prices. Got a decent OWB leather pancake with a nice finish and really nice on the edges for under $50. They are stiff, so they take a bit more breaking in.............
I was finally able to get my Luger wannabe Erma 22 out of 10 day purgatory. Shop was busy and one guy working, took a while but we got er done. When I got home Grandson Augustus was here to visit so he got to check it out. He didn't have a lot of interest. I hope there isn't a defect in his upbringing. He turned a month a few days ago. Perhaps his interest hasn't matured yet?
One month old. He mulls it over. Mama and dinner time? Or Grandad's gun. I'll take dinner.

Sorry boss but it don’t say 45ACP on it, try one of those and I bet it will get some interest from the little guy…….Big holes matter!Quote:

Oh, also sometimes when you think you might need a new gun.
You can get creative with guns you already own!
Case in point, I've wanted a Desert Eagle 44 and/or a 10mm hand cannon for some time.
Actually, found a Sig P220 Legion SAO 10mm on sale that I came very close to buying.
Now I don't hunt, and already own a S&W 629 44 Mountain Revolver.
There's really no good reason for me to get one more hand cannon.
But as I considered the Sig P220 10mm I realized I already have 3 Sig P220 45s.
And then it hit me.
The Sig P220 10mm is an all-stainless-steel beast and one of my babies is a P220 ST 45 all-stainless-steel beast :D
Looking at the Underwood ammo web site, their 180 10mm runs 1250 fps and 185 45 Super runs 1300 fps :p
I also happen to have an extended ported Isonite treated Storm Lake P220 45 barrel :cool:
All I need to do is add a Wolff 24 lbs recoil spring and I've got a new hand cannon - Woo Hoo!
Underwood 45 Super ammo arrived today with Wolff Springs inbound.
