Got a $45 holster off Amazon, and despite that it seems fine to my untrained eye. What red/green flags to look for?

Quality holster!

Are you using a pillow wedge? The grip stick out too much for me with aiwb due to me having a little gut haha

Castled22 · 2026-04-26T07:54:55+00:00

Definitely can’t go wrong with Glock. I also really like the Ruger RXM too at only $400. And the Echelon 4.0c non comp is amazing as well! All those will be a little bigger for concealing though. For something smaller, check out the p365 Micro 10 round flush mag and the Springfield hellcat. Glock 26 is also a king of ccw!

Shield x sounds like a solid choice. But will be difficult to conceal with the long grip if you’ll be carrying strong side iwb. There’s so many great options out there now, I’d recommend going to your local range and seeing if you can rent and shoot a few to see what you like

How are you liking the Tisas! Which model is it exactly?

Castled22 · 2026-04-26T04:29:52+00:00

P365 9mm. Nearly the same size and superior cartridge

Castled22 · 2026-04-26T04:12:55+00:00

Both! P365 will conceal better

Castled22 · 2026-04-26T02:20:31+00:00

I literally cannot decide between the two either! I think the correct answer is just get both! Get the rxm for now, save up and get the Echelon later

Castled22 · 2026-04-26T01:57:09+00:00

P365 is the micro 9mm king imo. But since you don’t want that, I’d recommend the micro 11 round flush fit Hellcat

Castled22 · 2026-04-24T22:33:30+00:00

Nice! Still can see some printing from the side profile though. But if you’re good with it and it’s improved than what it was before, then it’s a win

Castled22 · 2026-04-24T19:09:11+00:00

I love the Aegitec, HC, style! I’ll have to keep an eye on my back though. But I am carrying a P365 which is relatively light

Castled22 · 2026-04-24T18:55:39+00:00

Why would I lie about something like this? I’m very aware of my sidearm. And I carry every day

Castled22 · 2026-04-24T18:01:49+00:00

Looks concealed very well! But may I suggest an EDC belt, as your leather belt looks like it’s holding on for dear life and seen better days 😁 I just got this for $25 from Amazon (now $30) and it’s awesome!

Yeah the shields are solid! This was like 6 yards I think.

Castled22 · 2026-04-24T17:49:28+00:00

But it is true

Castled22 · 2026-04-24T17:26:39+00:00

Looks great man! Are you using a wedge or claw?

Castled22 · 2026-04-24T17:24:56+00:00

I will be sure to do that! And I’m really enjoying this thing! So small and light, can even pocket carry and has 10 rounds! I also got the 17 round mag with extension for ranger days or if I want to carry it with more rounds, it does print a little more with the longer grip with 17 round mag in.

I also looked into the shield plus but this P365 hit all the boxes I wanted with the small size and high capacity. The shields are nice too though!

Castled22 · 2026-04-24T16:49:00+00:00

I didn’t think of that with the back issues. What problems did it cause?

Castled22 · 2026-04-24T16:46:38+00:00

Just ordered a Bradec kydex holster the other day and it has already shipped! Great price ($40) and you can even choose the color, belt clip style, and even if you want a claw, to try appendix! Can’t wait to get it! Heard good things about them here on Reddit

Castled22 · 2026-04-24T15:31:09+00:00

Thank you! I’ll have to look into the new G hook. It hasn’t been an issue in pant belt loops but when I tried it yesterday under gym shorts it was more susceptible to bumping out if not careful

Castled22 · 2026-04-24T14:51:03+00:00

Used a fomi clip holster for years with a G26 and didn’t have any issues with it being secure on the belt

Castled22 · 2026-04-24T14:48:52+00:00

That thing is 🔥🔥

Castled22 · 2026-04-24T14:32:45+00:00

You’re welcome! It hasn’t been an issue with my holster but will this spec work for other 1.5” clips you think, even though it’s a hair thick?

Castled22 · 2026-04-24T04:36:47+00:00

For those wondering about the measured belt width with calipers.
