Three of the same for different guns or the three different offerings? Pro Tandem, Professional, and Original?
I have no experience with any holster and can't figure out if the dual clip of the Pro Tandem is better than the one clip in the Professional. They all look like they would be more comfortable than a piece of leather or plastic against your side.
Mine are all 3 originals for different guns.
No experience with any of theirs other than the original model which is purely a concealment holster. They're comfortable and they work but there's no real retention/protection other than the strap if that's a concern for you.
It does hold the gun well but some people aren't comfortable carrying that way. I've had quite a few other IWB holsters over the years and have gone to a minimalist approach with a greater focus on comfort. Grab it, tuck it in the pants and forget about it. (I have enough crap on when I'm at work so when I'm off I don't want to know it's even there.)
How does all of the extra material effect you ability to draw?
I have been looking at these too, but I am worried that all of the material around the grip may prevent getting a good grip if I am in a hurry.

I don't find it to be any more difficult than the typical leather backed kydex holsters but your mileage may vary depending on body type, the type of clothes you wear, etc...
That's an awful lot of shit to tuck down inside your pants. I love when people look to make the inevitable, non existent. Carrying sucks and it's something a person has to get over. In the long run, as minimal as possible is best.
That's why some companies make a "combat cut". It allows at least a finger or two get a good purchase on the grip, "somehow".
Not sure about the new ones but the older ones aren't very big.
I really respect your knowledge.
When you carry something bigger than a baby Glock IWB what do you use?
An el cheapo Bianchi suede holster with spring metal clip for IWB. The picture is for a revolver, but 1 cut for a semi. I am on my second one in 25 years. It fits a number of different semi's.
Situation dependent. a non thumbstrap suede one like this, you aren't jumping/running and definitely not crouching and bending as if you were landscaping.
I prefer these simply because of ease. Pops right out when you sit in the car and easily slipped right in your pants when you get out of the car.
My absolute go to carry method is OWB with a Galco "concealable" holster.
I have been rotating a havana brown one and a black one for over 15 years. Still like new. Stock photo, but truly one of the best holsters available.

Was waiting for you to post the above (instead of giving your answers for you
). Below is the Galco that I got after your rec (that fits a Walther P99C and HK USP Compact 40 pretty well). Liked it so much that I got one for a Glock 32 as well, in black. Galco's website pics don't give justice to how nice these look.Attachments

I personally use a Alien gear holster for everyday carry of my service pistol. It conforms to all of the retention guidelines my organization put in place and is so comfortable. Additionally when i fly armed i like it because of the little signature my sig has when i am wearing it. Additionally you can get a belt attachment for it now if you want a slim OWB holster
What did you end up getting? If national reciprocity ends up happening and MD caves in some manner I think I'm going to try out the N82. I haven't found it at any shows or stores to try so it'll be a leap of faith that it's comfortable.
I am still in my learning curve so my experience is still very limited. I got the Alien Gear for my sig p320. For my baby glock I got the smaller version of Blaster's Galco. With that holster and the Glock 42 I have to check if I still have the gun on me it just disappears.

What are you trying to carry? I have one for a Sig P938 and it's awesome.
Exact same gun. What model N82 do you have?

The Professional one.

For me, no. First the safety takes quite a bit of force to move. Second, the retention is pretty good on this holster so I dont think the trigger is moving (or the gun to allow for a discharge).
PM me... maybe if youre somewhere close, you can try the holster out.
