Yep. . .another one of "those" threads: which holster is "better"?
I'm in the market for an everyday carry OWB holster for my G29. I want solid, dependable, and, above all, good retention (as the holster may be used on the trail as well as around town). I've carried IWB for years but for various reasons I am moving into the OWB style carry and want a HIGH RIDE holster. I've narrowed my selection down to a couple of holster makers and want some opinions.
The first high ride I stumbled on to was Rusty Sherrick's U.S. High Ride. It looks well made and can be had in a canted version (I think). Rusty's work gets great reviews. However, I've read threads suggesting folks interested in the US High ride check out TT Gunleather's Pancake holster (also a high ride) as the TT Gunleather holster is a little beefier and can manage top heavy firearms better. Like Rusty, TT Gunleather also makes high quality, good looking leather products. Finally, I saw Mitch Rosen's Upper Limit and the UPL Express. Both look like great products and closely resemble the U.S. High Ride but with a higher price tag to boot (the UPL Express is more affordable, of course).
I would love some feedback as this will be my first OWB holster.
BTW, I would love a holster that can do double duty: strong side and cross draw!
