As promised. Anyone who wrote on here that wears an undershirt, wants to sand the grip down, or stipple it, feel free to purchase

We like walking around with our **** hanging out, ya know?

Nicely put. Bought a pair of Davidson Monkey Grips for my Sig P238, and my side fat gets a bit red if I don't tuck my undershirt in. Definitely would suggest the crossbreed holster if you like the gun.

i think its time for a new holster first, that and an undershirt, lol

+1 on the undershirt. It drives me nuts to not wear an undershirt when carrying.

thank you for the review , I was considering buying one , but I was thinking more of how they might "eat" a shirt , too bad I was really liking the "fish gills" for a change of pace.

I can't do IWB without an undershirt. Even when I carry when wearing shorts and an untucked t shirt, I have an a-shirt (sleeveless t-shirt) on underneath and it's comfortable. When carrying that way, I can conceal a decent size pistol during the hot summer months.

If you have a problem with OC, try going to a state that doesn't allow the option. "Variety is the spice of life"

Eh. You'll build a callous eventually

hehehehehe. im working on mine from my 1911. those safety levers HURT!!! is there a good IWB for a full size, or should i just keep OCing?

 

[AndersonIN]

I prefer the Pendleton Police Chief's claim..................I just like to "wear by dick on my hip!" LOL

Looks like you should join the open carry family.

EXACTLY! OC cures most inside-the-belt chafing.

You've got to find the gun you can best handle, shoot, and defend yourself in a life threatening event. Then find the best fit for carry. Then make yourself comfortable in that carry position. Don't get caught up in all the hype and do it all backwards. If someone is threatening to kill you, having the right gun for you is first and foremost.

Thought an update would be prudent. I haven't been able to trade for a non rtf grip, so I bought a hogue grip. It covers up 90% of the rough texture. What is left doesn't rub any longer because now there is just slight separation between my body and the rough texture because of the hogue grip. I preferred this alternative to any other because this doesn't cause any alterations and keeps its resale value.

I'll keep it for now, but I'm still open to trading it if someone has a g19 with night sights they would do a straight trade for.

A Kholster would solve the problem completely and comfortably.

It also would have cost more. I like the Minotaur holster that I've got anyway.

Cost More? Cost more than what a Minotaur? Minotaur run $80 plus shipping. Kholster cost $45 free shipping. Plus a Kholster has a larger backing that would cover the area that your current holster did not. I own two Kholsters and would own nothing else.

No the Kholster would cost more than the hogue grip did. I already own the Minotaur.

For a variety of reasons the Minotaur was a better option for me. It is large enough to be a comftorable holster, but small enough that I can keep my g19 in it when I put it into the night stand without taking up too much room. At this point I'm not sure if I am going to switch my carry weapon again, and the minotaur has replaceable kydex portions for different guns. If you feel the Kholster is an option for you that is great. But not for me.

Ouch that does look painful. Just one more reason why I will never buy an RTF Glock. The 3rd gens are just fine for me.

 

[WIZZO499]

That is exactly the reason why I prefer the CROSS BREED SUPER TUCK holster for IWB. FOR MANY (but not all) models, it has a leather barrier between your body and the whole gun, including the grip!

They don't on the 1911.

And they don't look like they cover the grip of the Glock either (pic taken from Glocktalk)

 

[glockednlocked]

Toughen up. That hide will turn to leather and you will be fine

Look for one with a body shield. Many (most?) holster makers offer such a model.

I see your point about the night stand and the replaceable kydex portions are a nice feature.
