OWB for Gen5 Glock 19

[NU9MM]

Just curious on recommendations for a nice OWB holster for my Gen5 Glock 19. Also leather or Kydex? If I was about 20 pounds lighter I would carry AIWB or at 3 o'clock IWB. Thank you in advance. I know all the common holster makers. Just like to get other thoughts and opinions.

I have a preference towards leather. I'm not sure I can recommend Ted Blocker anymore, but I've got some nice leather from Mitch Rosen.

I also have a few nice holsters from Mitch Rosen, including an OWB for that model. Top quality gear. Their belts are quite nice too.

What the purpose of the holster and what manner will it be carried….

Open carry (I dislike open carry) - I would suggest something level 3 retention and Safariland.

Concealed carry - Tenicor ARX

Ideally loose the weight so carrying appendix is possible and comfortable.

I have both leather & kydex for OWB carry of a Glock 19. I like them both very much but probably favor the kydex because of adjustable retention.

Leather : Kramer Leather Vertical Scabbard
Kydex : Vedder Holsters LightDraw

For OWB It would concealed by a bigger shirt or jacket. I would never open carry. Unless I'm out in the wilderness. But, you're spot on lose the weight.
