Ok, so I've been looking around at concealed hosters for my gun for quite a while now and still can't decide. I have a Taurus 24/7 OSS in 45 ACP, 5.25" long barrel. What I've narrowed it down to is Minotaur nuetral cant holster, a Crossbreed Supertuck Deluxe, or I'm even considering a Cell Pal Holster. A concealment Blackhawk Serpa OWB comes in last. Here are some of my reasons for considering each one:
--Out of Running, called them up and it won't fit--Comp-Tac Minotaur Neutral Cant Holster Choice #1:
Pros- Comfortable, adjustable neutral cant, good weapon retention, can be carried from 2-5 o'clock positions, body can be swapped out for other guns, production time 2 Business Days to make, can be used for open carry
Cons- Belt clips are kydex, may not stay in place due to 60% smooth leather on back, retention may wear out after using this holster for extended period of time due to leather molding to gun.
Crossbreed Supertuck Deluxe Choice #2:
Pros- Comfortable, stays in place when drawing, metal belt clips, adjustable cant and ride depth, can be used for open carry
Cons- Worn at 4-5 o'clock position, neutral cant is not available, 4 weeks to produce
Cell Pal Holster Choice #3:
Pros- Holds my iPhone, Easy Access, Quick Draw, Comfortable, No Printing, Worn at 11-2 o'clock position
Cons- Unorthodox? Reholstering a little difficult, can't be used for open carry
Blackhawk Serpa CQC Choice #4:
Pros- Level 2 Retention, quick to draw and reholster, Belt Loop, paddle, or multifunctional belt loop
Cons- Not real concealable, comfort level unknown
As you can see, I've considered lot of options, but I think I'd go with the Comp-Tac if I could find some metal belt clips for it. The Cell-pal looks like something I'd purchase seperately just to have the option for carrying a different way. As for open carry holsters, Blackhawk Serpa holsters are out of the question because they have nothing that fits, Safariland has holsters for the 24/7, but not the 5.25" barrel on the OSS. I'll update this post once I start looking at holsters for open carry for my Taurus 24/7 OSS.
--UPDATE--
I got myself a Blackhawk Serpa CQC for my open carry holster since it was the only one I could be sure it'd fit. I also found it on MidwayUSA, so I didn't break the bank. Cost me about $37. I'm still trying to decide between my first three choices for a concealment holster.
