I'm lost!
I have recently purchased 2 handguns for near future CCW (and hopefully IDPA/USPSA or similar) use:
A SW442 (.38)revolver, and a KAHR P45 (.45) and I want to get involved with competition pistol shooting of some type (after the CCW class) to improve my shooting / training with my CCW handguns.
My roadblock is in choosing a holster.
I want to CCW the weapons in a IWB or OWB holster strong side back, typically under a polo shirt.
Does anyone have any advice on good IWB or OWB (J-frame and KAHR) Holster Choices that could work for CCW and IDPA?
And, if so would it be something that would have retention features, or is there such a thing?
Would this be the same holster I would/could use for IDPA or other such competitions?
Do they even have IDPA for J-Frame revolvers, or will I be limited to only using the KAHR for IDPA type competitions/training?
Are the typical competitions using CCW holsters, or are they required to be belt-mounted Open Carry type of rigs?
It's ALL new to me, but I have to start somewhere, and I would like to train/compete similar to how I will carry.
I'm Having trouble figuring out the proper holster for both CCW and IDPA-type use.
