[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 2010673, member: 113623"] There is no real cut an dry solution, so much depends on personal preference and comfort. I would: 1.) Decide what caliber you want. 2.) Decide what size gun you want. I carry a P2000SK and like the grip length but wish it had a longer barrel. I used to carry a Glock 23 for work and it rode better on the waistline for me but didn't fit my hand. Something like Glock 19/23 size may be easier to handle than a mouse gun while still being concealable. Really stubby guns need different holsters as well otherwise they try to roll over your belt. 3.) Pick a brand you are comfortable and familiar with. If you like to run a full sized (insert brand here) for general shooting, check out their smaller offerings. Keeping similar functionality (DA/SA, safety, decocker, striker etc) between guns you use often is helpful for some but by no means a requirement. I would also look for more current/popular brands (i.e. Sig, Glock) because of point 4. 4.) Carry position and holster selection. The best holster offerings are typically going to be for the more common/current/popular brands. Take one of your other guns and try sticking it into your pants (unloaded of course) to find out what is comfortable to you. This is hugely subjective, and don't think you are wrong for not following the "popular" trend if it doesn't feel right (i.e. appendix carry). Also avoid hybrid holster that have a leather or synthetic backing on a kydex outer shell. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
