Looking for a kydex/hybrid holster for general carry outside of jersey.  I'm leaning towards the theis (maybe the EZ clip) over the raven but I see that the raven is pretty popular.  Any particular reason for that?  anyone have both?

Raven Concealment only makes all kydex holsters.

 

Never heard of Theis....

 

I like CompTac for hybrid type IWB. Very comfortable and secure. They also make my favorite OWB mag pouches for CCW/discrete carry.

They seem to have a very good rep around the walther forums.

 

I guess a better way to ask my q

question would be what if any are the benefits to having a full kydex holster? Seems like price, and comfort go to hybrid.

 

I have 3 Theis holsters for my G26 and G19. The quality is excellent and I would recommend

Galco king tuk is a good holster. Ive used mine time to time with no issues

Theis is very comfortable to me. I've only used it to carry mt pt809 in PA once so far but I like it. i was unsure of which hide to get though, i think i ended up just getting cowhide.

Do you have any attachments experience with them vs full kydex?

I have a theis. Come to another IDPA match I'll show you.

 

I like the horsehide backer because it conforms to me nicely. As IWB there's nothing between the backer and me besides my undies, so id rather not have rigid kydex...but admittedly I've not tried it.

carry on a theis EVERY day.. no issues.. I got it several years ago.. 

 

My 27 is in his gallery..

Can you give me a pro vs con lol. I can't get a apples to apples comparison.

I had a raven.. so I actually can compare..

 

Theis 

 

VERY comfortable concealed carry holster

holds gun without issue

limited carry options.. you are carrying IWB... 

 

 

raven

 

rigid kydex is definitely less comfortable..

allows for carry both on the belt AND IWB...

 

 

 

 

for comfort.. THEIS all day long... 

for versatility (where you might want to carry on the belt as well) then Raven...

 

for what its worth this is the holster that got me to give up my Raven setup...

Danke. I don't see myself carrying owb much so looks like theis is the way to go. Any experience on the ez clip?

I'm thinking horsehide too. I hear its thinner and more comfortable. Thanks for the offer. If I come out again I'll let you know.

Horsehide might be thinner but it is definitely stiff as hell when it's brand new. But it breaks in nicely.

 

I liked A) it doesn't absorb sweat as readily, and B) its not dyed.

 

Huh...that EZ Clip model is new to me. I think I might have gotten that if I saw it back when I was ordering. Looks nice for a tiny gun (I have a Shield) but you'd probably want the classic model for a mid-to-full size gun

I have the regular setup... but the EZ clip looks nice also.. 

I sent mr theis an email about what he thinks about the ppq in the ez clip holster.

Out of the two my vote goes to Theis
