I have been looking at the down under as well. Do you have the one with loops or the clip? Just curious on your choice. Why did you choose what you did?Quote:

I have the one with the clip. I decided to go with the clip because I cant carry at work. We are also on call so if I was called in and was carrying it would be easier to unclip the holster and everything and leave it in my car. I do think the straps would be a little more stable and possibly spread the weight of the gun out a little more on your belt.
I have carried two different types of guns in the Down Under with the clip. The first gun was the Taurus PT145 (Piece of crap I may add) It didnt shift at all. And concealed great under a T-shirt.
The second and currently carrying is the SA Micro compact 1911. Heavier than the Taurus was, much more reliable though. It shifted a little bit when I first got it. But then I found a leather maker that had some double thinkness 1 3/4" belts for 18.00 at a motorcycle show so I thought hell give this a shot for 18.00. And now it hardly ever shifts unless I have to run or something like that. Still conceals real nice.
I ordered a slide gaurd from them on the 6th of May. I finally just got my tracking number Sunday and it should be here by Friday. This is the first time they have taken this long on making and shipping a holster to me. But I decided to try to carry OWB so I can compare. I will report back my finding after I have carried OWB for a few weeks.

I use a Bianchi Shadow II but it is getting a little uncomfortable, want to find
a new one for my G32. Was thinking about an IWB but dont know what brand is good, would like leather. Does anyone have some suggestions?

I like the security of a thumb break holster knowing it can't fall out and it is second nature to break a thumb break after years of duty carry.
I don't wear on my hip though...it goes next to my kidney so it doesn't show in a front profile. I have also placed in the small of my back, but I can't stand this if I have to drive very far.
I've also used a lot an uncle mike's super belt slide holster. It's like a deluxe version of a pancake holster.

The seem to help break up the outline of larger guns and are soft. Again thumb break is a requirement for me.
90% of the time i carry my G23 IWB using a CTAC.
the rest of the time i use a fobus (yes i know it's cheap but i still like it) OWB paddle.
I'm down with the UCR for the 19 or 23, but I'm only home on weekends so no everyday use. Did have it on for 18hrs last Saturday and no complaints.
OWB if I could drop some pounds, not confident how to conceal it well with the end of coat season :oops:
Alessi for the ankle, Walmart carpenter jeans are straight leg and work really well with that holster and a 27. Plus they run a little bit larger in the waist than other styles.
Whoever makes the CTAC for mag pouch and flashlight, clip pepper to the belt and I feel like freaking batman with all of that on.

I find that extreamly funny. I might actually make it my new sig line. Of course I have only had 2 hours of sleep in 48hrs so I will re-evaluate the sit. after some R and R.
oh man if you are talking about everything... i keep at least one LED flash light in my pocket. two folding knifes. 1 extra mag. 1 2oz can of foxlabs. and i think that is it
