I have been trying to carry for a while now, but no matter what holster I've tried, it's almost never comfortable or it conceals poorly.
I started with a glock 23 in an off the shelf soft holster. It had obvious problems. Too big, terrible retention, etc. I dumped that setup almost immediately.
Next up, the KelTec PF9 with a White Hat Holsters Hybrid. This was FAR better than the previous setup, but I still had trouble concealing well in Texas weather clothing. I wore a lot of t-shirts, so concealment wasn't 100%.
Currently, I have a P365 and a Vedder holster. The Vedder conceals very well, but it's painful in every position I've tried. In appendix it's fine while standing up, but when I sit it jabs hard into my stomach and leg. I have a desk job now, so that makes it a miserable experience. If I switch to a 3-5º position it prints a hair more and I can sit down without issues, but walking around is painful because it's jabbing me in the leg all day. After two days of that, I ended up with bruises from the nose of the gun.
So, what is there to do now? I've been looking at the ProTEQ Kybrid holster so I have good retention and comfort from the leather. Is there a better option? Is there something I can do with the Vedder to make it comfortable?
