leather holster recommendation for glock 26, ccw

[greyhound]

Any personal recommendations on leather holsters (iwb holster or or an unobtrusive strongside belt holster) for a glock 26 that I plan to carry ccw? I'm on the tall and thin side, so it's easy for me to conceal well with an untucked t-shirt or polo shirt. Also, I'm not really interested in tuckable holsters.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

I found the mini-Glocks were small enough that IWB was not really necessary -- what ended up being hidden in the pants was not worth the reduction in comfort that IWB presents. That's just my own experience; you'll find about as many opinions as there are people here.

As an entry point into concealed carry, I recommend a basic scabbard holster, without any thumb break. Every holster manufacturer makes one. They're all good. IMO, you should get one with a reinforced mouth, since if you tighten your belt, the scabbard holster design tends to collapse (to some extent) the holster opening. Personally, I found the Desantis scabbard for the mini-Glock not to work for me for that reason.

If you scour the large gun boards, I have no doubt you'll find something used that's decent.

If you're going to conceal under a T shirt, then maybe a higher riding holster is called for, although perhaps for that gun you might not necessarily need it.

Here's a safe choice:

For IWB I like the Fist #20. I don't really do any OWB.

I don't have a glock but my XD9 subcompact is close to the same size as yours. I use a crossbreed supertuck deluxe and love it. I wear it at about 4-5 oclock and I forget the gun is there most of the time.

And unfortunately, there's no way to know in advance what you prefer. I have yet to meet someone who has had ZERO holsters in the also-ran pile.

Pretty much the best place to start with when you're looking for a starter OWB holster; I'm a huge fan. A lot of people give me shit for carrying a $20 holster, but it really is a great design. I have a box full of almost completely unused $100+ holsters for my 1911s, and I'm wearing a J.I.T. right now. Plus, if you don't like it, who gives a damn, it's $20, throw it in the trash.

For IWB, try the Milt Sparks Summer Special, it's the definitive classic IWB holster.

Ditto. I've at least 2 cows worth of holsters I don't use sitting in boxes in the basement.
