Coming from a similarly sized guy, I'd make sure you have a REAL GUN BELT before you get a holster. You have no idea what a big difference it makes, especially when you have quite a bit more to hold up than the average guy. I like the SuperBio Belt from Daltech Force. But there ara few more like BeltMan and 511.
With that said, I've pretty much switched to OWB. With a untucked shirt and a holster at 3:30ish, the pistol about disappears, even a full size double stack.
I like Bravo Concealment holsters. They are a great value.

MC, have you used or seen similar holsters in a higher price point? Like Vedder for instance? I just keep wondering how much better can you make a piece of .080" Kydex with a clip on it. Especially when it comes to function. Sure one can polish the edges but so can I.I use a CYA Holster for my G2C. I like it a lot. High-quality and low profile. Very comfortable to wear at 4 o'clock.
Like some others, I have moved almost exclusively to OWB holsters, except for this one. I like the single clip. It makes it really easy to put on and take off or to make minor adjustments to the position if needed.

Not for this particular style of holster. This one is solid and surprisingly refined. Higher quality than I expected for sure.MC, have you used or seen similar holsters in a higher price point?

I tend to buy the more expensive stuff since typically it is higher quality, but like I say, a steak can be only so good, no matter what the restaurant is charging.
I bought two Vedder OWB holsters to replace my two Bravo's because supposedly they were better. I sent them back. I saw very little difference and the Vedder's did not have the adjustability that the Bravo's have.Not for this particular style of holster. This one is solid and surprisingly refined.

I do have other types of holsters that I've paid more for that didn't meet expectations considering costs. I have a Dara Holster OWB that I paid close to $100 for that probably should have been about $40. I bought it for CC, but it's way too bulky so I put it on my battle belt. It works great for that purpose, but so would others at a lower price I'm sure.
I've also paid a premium in the past for a good holster only to find similar styles and features that matched the quality at a lower price. For instance, I had a Raven Concealment OWB holster that was awesome but cost $80. Bravo Concealment makes pretty much the exact same thing for less than half the cost.
It's tough when you're looking for a specific configuration, especially if you aren't carrying a Glock. I've bought 4 new holsters for my VP9 just over the past six months because my set up has evolved. First it was that Dara, then it was a Safariland ALS which was just for the gun. Then I added a WML, so I got another Safariland to accommodate the light. Now I am adding a red dot, and that one doesn't accommodate the RDS. So I got a no name kydex on Amazon that fits the light and the dot. So far that's the most comfortable and lowest profile one I found and it was under $50.
It's seems like such a crap shoot when buying online. What works for one type of gun might feel totally different with a different gun even when trying to carry in the same way.
