Talk to me about concealed holsters

Ok, so my CHL is coming soon. I'll probably carry my .380 Super Titan as it is much flatter and shorter than my 9mm.

What type of holster (or better yet brand and style) do you guys recomend? What kind of clothes can I get away with wearing? Im hoping jeans or shorts and an untucked shirt would work when the weather warms up?

My favorite IWB holster is the MaxCon V made by Brommeland, a bit pricey and a LONG wait if you order. It's all I use for my heavier guns (1911s, Sig P239,etc)
However, I have found a great, inexpensive holster for my Sig P238 (.380) that has worked out much better than expected. It's called the Remora. Here's the site: The Original Remora No Clip Holster
I read a bunch of reviews on gun sites and decided to try it. Works great with shorts, jeans, even sweat pants that have a draw string. With traditional holsters your gun belt is as important as the holster, NOT with the Remora. The outside is a material that is a bit "sticky", you simply place it where you want on your waist and button your pants over it. The damned thing stays put! I don't think I'd try it with my heavier guns but for the .380 it works

For IWB I use a 5 Shot 1911 holster or a Comptac Minotaur for the HK P2000sk. Both are extremely comfortable with my Comptac belts.

I carry a Glock 26 in 2 choices depending on the outfit.

Comp-Tac MTAC
Inside Waistband Holsters - Minotaur Holsters - products new home - Minotaur MTAC Holster

VERY comfy, but also more of a pain in the butt to take on/off.
I use this when i know i'll be wearing it for quite awhile,
or if i need to tuck in my shirt.
Does not reposition easily though, but super soft on the inside.
In the hot summer, if you sweat a lot like me, the leather can absorb it even through an undershirt. so on really hot days i wear my alternate.

Galco Kydex IWB
Galco holsters; Holsters; Gun holster, pistol holsters, western holsters, shoulder holsters, leather holster and Glock holsters

This is the one I use 90% of the time. It's ugly and rough, but it has a lot of advantages.
It's easy to take on/off, which comes in handy because I often enter buildings that I cannot carry inside, so I have to remove it often to leave it in the car.
It has really good retention, but also easy to slide from rear 4-5oclock position to 2oclock position that i sometimes carry in when wearing a tshirt or taking off my jacket.

I use a Crossbreed SuperTuck Deluxe. Takes some breaking in, but is incredibly comfortable after you've used it a bit. I opted for the horsehide, which is nice if you live where it's really hot and sweat a lot.
