I've been looking for a nice IWB Kydex holster for my Walther PPQ - been browsing the net looking at the different options. I've seen some pretty decent ones that are 'custom' made and for a decent price. But it's hard to choose because most of the pictures don't even have a PPQ in the picture and or the angles of the pictures don't show enough, plus I'm picky when its not something I can hold in my hands.

A little background, I have a custom kydex holster that my cousin gave me for my XDs and I love it. Problem is he can't remember where he ordered it from, he's trying finding the site but has been unsuccessful.

So I thought I'd reach out to the forum, see anyone makes any themselves and/or knows a good place to order/purchase from.

Below are more or less some pics of the style kydex holster I'm looking for:

I would recommend Bravo Concealment or Vedder Holsters

I have a number of custom kydex holsters made by Redline Concealment Holsters. All have been made well.

Those look like eight2ten holsters

JM Custom Kydex is a great one.... that style is like his IWB #3. His has a unique feature that actually pulls the butt in tighter to the body by molding the trigger guard outbound by about 1/4''. I carry a 4" 1911 in my IWB #3- comfortable and secure. THe molding is much more precise than others I have seen and used.

I appreciate all the responses, I'll take a look at those. For anyone else who has any other suggestions, keep em coming.

I've had several custom kydex holsters from a few different makers. It's a great concept with easy on/off use. The problem is that even with my lightest carry piece (g19) they want to tilt on the belt. The best performance I've gotten out of one is when I replaced the belt clip with a sturdy leather loop, thereby negating the utility of that single point clip. It's for a commander sized 1911, and works well enough. I can carry it with my aliengear holster much easier without having to adjust when I enter/exit a vehicle.

Hard to beat the Clinger Stingray. Light, secure, durable, not expensive. I wear mine at 4:00 and the gun just vanishes.

What belt do you wear?

Comp-Tac makes some nice looking ones. Seems there are quite a few makers out there now.

Anything from TRex Arms. Their Sidecar is legit af. its an appendix IWB that holds a spare mag. If you don't have a huge gut, get one of these!

That's a nice looking holster - I do have a bit of a gut... but even if I didn't I'll never be ok with wearing a gun pointing at my naughty bits. That's a big NOPE for me

I've got a little gut too but I have no problems wearing it. If you think about it, you pretty much flag your body regardless of how you're carrying. Proper firearm handling, which I'm sure we are all aware of, is to keep your bugger hook off the bang switch unless you're ready to fire. Non issue for me lol.

They do make other styles. All are equally good. They guys who owns it can run a pistol and rifle as good as anyone I've seen. You can check the kid out on Instagram @TRexArms

I agree with what you are saying in theory, but in the heat of the moment, things happen - yes we're always flagging some part of our bodies to some degree - but if I shoot my foot or put a new interesting piercing hole in my butt, I feel like those are more favorable to walk away from. I guess I look at the chance of a ND/AD being about as equal as getting into a situation where I must use the gun to defend myself, both are slim to none chances, but I choose to prepare/plan around the possibility of either happening. People become rich gambling on worst odds, just my line of thinking.
