Re: Holster for sitting down 8 hours a day in office?
Holsters are not comfortable. Of course, holsters are not uncomfortable either. In the majority of cases, comfort is not related directly to the holster but there can be some exceptions for really poor design and choice of materials. If you wear a holster made out of old nylon socks, that attaches to your body by one single support point behind the holster, I will agree that it may be uncomfortable to have your gun swinging back and forth with each step.
Comfort is far more likely to be a product of your choice of gun, the belt used, and; most importantly; where and how you carry the gun.
A Beretta M9 worn IWB in the appendix location is not likely to be comfortable. Almost anything worn MOB/SOB is likely not going to be comfortable sitting or driving.
Choose your gun well, use a GOOD carry belt and locate the weapon appropriately and your comfort will not be an issue.
I'm in and out of an office chair all day and often drive 5 to 6 hours to get to gun shows but my gun and holster are never an issue of comfort and I'm wearing if I'm awake. I carry OWB most of the time and IWB sometimes and, even, use my shoulder rig from time to time but I never find comfort an issue. I attribute that to my choice of guns and where I carry them but not to the holster.
A holster is just a place to park a gun. It's up to you to provide a good support foundation (belt) and to locate it properly for comfort, concealment and easy access.
Comfort is not a quality that can be assigned to most holsters.
For those that may disagree, I ask this. What is the quality that differentiates a "comfortable" holster from one that is uncomfortable and is this quality consistent from one holster to another?
