Amazing to me, this is a subject that not receive any attention before. Wich kinf of holsters do you preffer more: the kydex's ones or the leather's ones. If you read the post in this forum, it seems that many here prefer a good leather holster. But besides the nice smell of the leather, and the beauty of certain leather holsters, do you really believe that they are better in their function than the kydex holsters. I have to confess that mi first real holster (that is because in mi country i bought a lot of leather holsters, really poor in design but rich in price), was a Blade Tech IWB holster. From that moment, i bought many others Blade Tech holsters, that serve me very well. Also i have the Fist kydex holsters.But i also have leather holsters from really good holstermakers, as Sparks and Rusty Sherrick, and now i tend myself to them. The kydex tend to be, only in my experience, faster in the draw, but poor in concealment, at least in the OWB type. Also, it offer a level of performance for the money, that the leather holster can't equal. Take the Fobus holsters or the new Uncle Mike for this.
Well, base in the last years, the kydex came to stay -i know that Rogers, i don't remember his name, played with kydex in the seventees-, but what do think about. I undestand that in the tactical area, the kydex, an even the nylon, replaces the leather a long time ago, but can the same happen with leather for concealment holsters?
What do you think about?
