Default Holster Help!!!!

Alright everyone, I'm ready to tap into that vast fountain of collective knowledge. Here's my problem:

I'm ready to graduate to a new holster. I've carried now for a year in cheapie nylon holsters, and now I've figured out my preferred method (well, actually methods). I just can't find a leather holster that fits both. What I'm looking for is a leather holster that will ride OWB without rubbing the grip of my gun under my armpit. I want this holster to also be tuckable should I decide to carry a little more secretly. Is there a holster that's made to be either/or OWB/IWB?

Oh, and I have an obscure carry pistol, so that'll make things a little more complicated. So this holster will need to fit a Beretta 9000s.

Thanks in advance!

Check out crossbreed!!!

http://www.crossbreedholsters.com/beltslide.html

They make the best tuckable on the market, IMHO

Another good holster is Rays holsters.All leather and very reasonable prices.Holsters however are like guns.The same one deosn`t work for everyone and you have to choose what`s best for you.That`s probably why most have a drawer set aside for them.:D Good luck in your search.

Well, I've tried to limit my purchases on holsters, and I've done very well with it. I started out on an Uncle Mike's cheapie. I wore it numerous ways and found one I liked. Then I got a nicer, but still nylon, holster to fine tune my likes. Now, I think I'm ready to get a leather one. However, I want (I guess) a convertible. Essentially, I need a good IWB holster, that also will carry very stable OWB on my hip.

I was checking out the crossbreed holster site and watched the video they have and it looks like it hides the gun very well indeed.I just haven`t been a big fan of IWB holsters all though i do own two.I just haven`t found one yet that is comfortable to me that is.I guess i`m just fussy when it comes to an IWB holster and finding one that suits me in the comfort department.

I am sure it is possible, but I have never seen one that converts from IWB to OWB. The way I carry the clip would have to switch sides. I like my Tucker Cover up. It does bulge somewhat if you try to tuck it though. I am thinking about a crossbreed for my Ruger. Another thought is, Bianchi makes a descent IWB holster that you can get from Midway for a little over $40. Bianchi 100. You might also get one of their OWB. I don't know how they are priced though. But, you might could get 2

Good luck

Well, it seems to me that I've dreamed up a new holster. If any of you are in the holster business, you've got a new customer if you can take a standard OWB holster, and stick a metal clip on the opposite side so I can tuck it. Let me know!

Hey, I don't know how this would work, I just found it in a cheaper than dirt flier. It might be close to what you are/were looking for.

Default Holsters usually by the drawer full!!!

Herz what I have used exclusively for the last two years. I love it. When I want to open carry I just don't tuck in my shirt. I have a drawer full of others that are getting moldy!

You might also consider Nate from ubgholsters.com. Seems to always come up with something that we will cherish forever.
