My current OTW holster is super duper uncomfortable for some reason. I will check out your recommendations, thanks!
I'm a derp noob because I've kind of always just been a plinker but now these things are for serious use.

Most are just a piece of cowhide backing with no real support, some are a piece of cowhide with two attachments points that make it more stable. I really think you'll like the paddle style of holsters, it keeps the firearm a distance away from your body that makes the draw really smooth. Find a paddle holster that lets you adjust the cant (angle of draw) too. Most of them have this function these days.
Sounds good. Maybe kind of like this. (concealmentexpress.com)
Wow, that's way more affordable than that larpy shoulder holster, too!
>Adjustable 'Posi-Click' Retention - Hear a Satisfying Click when Holstered
I have these style of kydex holsters. There are a great option when it comes in a paddle but this holster isn't the one i would chose for one reason. It lacks active retention and is a passive (friction) retention only holster.
Pros and Cons:
No training required to operate holster
Lacks active (mechanical) retention and therefore easier to fall out of a weapon.
Out of box potential for a faster draw time (no training to operate)
That said i've used this style as well and it holds the weapons decently with passive retention alone. I've tightening them up and shook them upside (over a couch) and the gun can fall out. Not going into too much detail i've been upside down on a line and the gun held in fine with passive alone but i was nervous about losing it the entire time.
Ever since i've gone with an active and passive system. Hence ALS/SLS and a few other options out there.
