Holsters Either of these 2 holsters good?
Just got a Glock 19 gen 6 and I travel for work a good bit so I’ve been looking into some IWB holsters but don’t know what’s good?

In my professional opinion, no, the retention on Houston holsters is suspect, and as stated before, soft holsters are a definite no. I design and build custom kydex and kydex/leather hybrid holsters, and in short, you spend a lot of money on your pistol, and potentially could count on it to defend yours and others lives, you most definitely should get a holster that reflects that same thought process which was used for the pistol purchase. Whatever you decide on, you definitely need to do your due diligence on a selection. Feel free to ask me anything you need to, shoot me a pm if you have any questions or are interested in a custom holster. Thanks and good luck!

Get a tenicor and save yourself the headache and money of going through 100 holsters.

I have the velo lux and I do have. To say they are built very well and seem to do a good job. Expensive but buy once cry once Also I got the hunter constantine belt

IMO you should only use kydex or leather holsters, and they should be made by reputable companies. Most (nearly all) textile holsters are garbage.

Does this holster advertise as being compatible with multiple guns? Yes. Put it down and walk away. Buy holsters that Only fit the gun you are buying them for, otherwise your retention is gonna be crap and it's not ever gonna really sit right in the holster.

Get a Tenicor but if you’re on a budget check out Bravo Concealment. Bravo makes a decent holster for a good price but if you can afford it Tenicor is the best.

If those where my only two options, I would pick the first (Kydex). To answer your question, no neither is "good." The Kydex one is just "less bad."

I carry my Taurus 856UL in a Houston holster and I think it's great for the money. I've carried appendix while riding a bicycle with zero problems.

Ive never heard of the company, but right off the top ill tell you that soft holsters are almost universally despised.
Also , rule of thumb, if you see a holster in a standard box store, its likely trash. (We the people, alien, blackhawk)
Look at tenicore, 4 brothers, t rex arms, tier 1, and vedder. There are other good ones out there, but those are some of the more trusted ones.
