What model and why...

I have Alien Gear Tuck holsters for my P220 \ 226 \229, and Shape Shifter for my P938.
I also have a Desantis Speed Scabbard, and Alessi Talon for the first three.

Talon is a strong favorite...
Comfortable and conceals well on my 6'4", 185 lb body...

I use R Grizzle GS2 for OWB, and they really are comfortable.....P229 all day, all night comfortable.

The Mitch Rosen Legion OWB model is well made, comfortable, and readily available. It doesn't conceal nearly as well as the R Grizzle since it doesn't pull the top rear of the slide in close to the body.

The SuperTuck is by far the most comfortable IWB holster I've ever used. It's not as "nice" as my VM-2s, but it's also readily available and less expensive.

Super Tuck?
Who makes it, and do you have a pic?

The SuperTuck is made by Crossbreed. SuperTuck

I don't know how long it was released, but it's the first hybrid I recall seeing.

It seems that the leather is now thicker than it used to be, so the break-in period is considerably longer. I gave up on waiting for my last one to form to my shape, and wet molded it to my body. This isn't a problem, and once it's molded it should last an extremely long time. I'm still using my oldest one regularly that I bought in 2009, and its horsehide is quite thin.

The shells for the P229 seem to now all be formed for suppressor height sights, so that eliminates the close fit along the top of the slide. This can allow the pistol to slightly rotate counter clockwise within the shell when drawn, which initiates extra retention at the trigger guard....making removal difficult (if it's not pulled straight up). I'm still adjusting the trigger guard retension indentation to eliminate the issue. This might not affect all users, depending on how far to the rear the pistol is carried, but it sure affects me. I've got 5 older SuperTucks molded for standard sights for other pistols, and none of them exhibit this issue.

The Bianchi Professional 100 is a versatile IWB holster that I use for everything that I carry. Size 11 fits all the classic SIGs and Size 14 fits all of my 1911s.

I never knew how deadly holsters are until I started paying attention to the P320 "discharge" threads. Now I strive to choose a holster that won't shoot me. Seriously, I still carry revolvers so you know right off the bat that nothing I have to say is of value. :)

IWB is my primary set up. I always choose a holster that I can move around IWB for comfort while seated. Something that can slide a few inches makes a big difference when you're being poked by something sharp.

My OWB holsters range from carved and tooled leather BBQ holsters to the dreaded and presumed deadly SERPA retention holsters.

I've come to accept that holsters are something intensely personal. What works for me may not be something another person could live with. I have a lot of discards that for one reason or another wasn't just right for me. They probably looked good or were highly recommended but just didn't pan out. A year from now I may find that this discarded holster works for a different pistol.

The only time I buy a BRAND NEW holster is when I've tried it with a used eBay holster at less than half the cost of a BRAND NEW mistake. That's a tip you can take to the bank. Buying holsters is expensive and you can expect to make some mistakes. The Bianchi Professional 100 is the most versatile holster that I can recommend for IWB carry.

Huge fan of all things Tenicor. I currently use a Velo4 and a Sagax Lux2 (both for P365 variants). Incredibly well thought out and designed gear. Like most of us, I’ve tried a thousand different holsters over the years and Tenicor is the brand that’s won me over.

I’ll second the DCC clips as well. While they may seem harder to get on and off at first it becomes second nature after awhile and those clips will not break or pop off your belt. Even in a hands on situation.

I've bought a number of Kydex holsters for my handguns over the years. They now occupy a box on the top shelf of my walk-in closet. They're just not comfortable for me. I'm only using leather holsters now. DeSantis and Falco, but I recently bought a couple of leather holsters at a price I couldn't pass up on Amazon for $23 each. 'Blackhawk' brand, says made in Italy.

Edit: Even though this holster's fitment says S&W M&P and Ruger's "S" series, SR & Security 9, It fits my Sig P322 perfectly. I mean for $23, I bought 2 of these and I'm glad I did!

I'm an Alien Gear fan as well.
I took a Dremel tool to my 226 holster to make a cut for the Romeo dot, works fine...

Also, I spoke to a representative from AG about the lack of optic ready holster, when I told him what I had done, I said I guess this voids the warranty.

His reply No it does not....
