I know that I couldn't find a holster for my Hi-Point .40 cal
Most of the retailers I went to had a Fobus HPP .45 holster right on the wall, but they didn't know that the .40 and .45 hi-points were pretty much the same size.
So they all told me they didn't know of a holster that would fit mygun.
And those are the "experts". I hate to say it, but maybe retail is retail. You can't always expect the guy sellin the gear to know about it all.
I asked and the answer I got was, "Sure it will, or it won't. If it doesn't just bring it back and I'll give your money back".
Can't beat that. I wouldn't begin to presume why your gun isn't a slam dunk on holsters. But I can say that I really like the Paddle Holster from Fobus. I don't know about the rotating ones or any other kind. I just know that my nylon tactical holster did not like My belt, or my jeans. It still moved around too much, and worried me. And it dug into my hip with that metal stamped retention clip.
The paddle holster is rock solid. Doesn't wiggle, doesn't bow. It's tipped forward enough that I can draw forward out, or cross hip without any issue. I can sit in the grass and it tips in the direction of my hips so the barrel doesn't touch the dirt.
It is very comfortable and doesn't drag my pants down even when I am wearing no belt. I was wearing with with shorts and a t-shirt saturday and it was just the same. The paddle just rides on your hip, inside the clothes, so the tighter the clothes, the better it holds, but as long as your waist on your pants are the correct size for your body, the clothes can even be baggy like my cargo shorts. And it still rode very solid.
I imagine if I were a younger man with hoppity Hopp pants hangin off my azz cheeks, it is possible that a paddle holster wouldn't really help much. But at that point I would be so clownish anyway, who really cares.
Right?
