Have some of both and perfer leather for IWB as foms better and is more comfortable. I use kydex for OWB in USPSA and like the retention and quick draw ability but have never really used outside of competiton. I was looking to get a few OWB holsters for during the "coat" months or when my pants (cough) get a little too tight. What is your preferance for OWB carry?

Thanks,
Hawk

Leather for OWB carry, kydex for competition only. MTAC for IWB. If I could only have one, I'd live with kydex, but if I'm never going to draw from it anyway, leather is more comfortable.

I used a kydex a long time ago. After buying my first leather holster, I never used the kydex again. I think I still have the kydex, somewhere.

OWB when I'm off duty I don't care either way. OWB on duty is a different story. For some odd reason they expect patrol officer's to work outside in the rain and leather doesn't like rain.
