G48 owners...what's your holster?

[Tacswa3]

I'm looking for an OWB holster for my Glock 48. I'm not to picky but everywhere I check the options suck. I can do paddle (preferably) or belt attach.

Couple of pictures of the Hellcat Pro in the Hellcat holster. I do have a few for several Glocks also.

Paddles suck for edc.
I love my DeSantis mini slide. They come in thumb break or passive adjustable retention.

Paddle holsters are a solution to a specific problem , with inherent trade offs .. Frequent putting on and taking off of pistol .

It takes an excellent Paddle rig & gun combination to be as concealable ( or comfortable ) as an average belt holster .

Do your requirements involve putting on and taking off gun and holster a half dozen times every day ?

If not look into a good Pancake or trailing loop holster .

For my G48 I have the Blackhawk T series, found it by chance at BassPro -

I like the ease of putting on and taking off of a paddle. Been doing it for over 20 years. This time of year with sweatshirts and jackets, I'm not to concerned with concealment. I ordered a pancake a while back when I first got the G48 and even though it was supposed to be made for the 48 according to the manufacture, the 48 fits a little loose in it. Low and behold, stamped on the back of the holster says G19/23. The 48 is basically a slimmed down 19 anyway and shows with the loose fit. It's been some time now since the 48 has been out so hoping the choice of options have improved. Just haven't seen anything that peaks my interest when I poke around the interwebz.

I'll check out whats been recommended so far.

I'm liking some of the options on their site, thank you for the recommendation.

this is very comfortable and hides the grip well. My favorite.

I am pretty sure you can use the same holster for a 48 as a 43X in most instances. I have a Shadow Systems and they say that either will work. So if you are having trouble finding one for the 48, you may try that. The 48 is about 3/4" longer. Same height and width.

He probably doesn't have 14 weeks to wait for one

It is a 2" belt slot, it also comes with a hinged belt attachment in the package, but that extends outward significantly - may not be so helpful if printing is a concern. That T series has a unique thumb release - very natural for my thumb position

I'd like a leather holster "cow" not "Sage954" but why is it that the OWB Black leather just scream detective or city beat cop or black and white movie? Those are for old men with wheel guns in my opinion .. and clowns, clowns are cool

Funny, I'm thinking leather holsters are expensive meanwhile I ride in a $5K saddle, good leather is worth it!

But you're wearing it on a 1.5 inch belt?

If black leather offends you , then try brown, tan . cordovan , etc . Maybe some basketweave for subtle bling .

* My fashon advice for my kids : Black leather , camo , and denim go with everything .

Basketweave? LOL He's not a 75 year old Deputy in the southwest.

I once thought I really liked paddle holsters because of similar desires to be quick on - quick off, but I began to discover issues with the holster rocking and generally not staying exactly where I wanted it.
I tried an OWB by Cobra Gunskins first for a G19 off of eBay, then my J frame, and later my P365. I really like that it’s still easier to put on and take off, but these holsters are comfortable, secure and stay PUT on my belt. They snap on over a belt with two stout snaps per belt loop and are a combination of a kydex outer body and a leather inner side, with a small sweat shield.

Once you're comfortable with the thumb release being natural, they're great. Caveat- you need to practice drawing due to the thumb release retention.
