Sac,
I happen to like the FIST thin kydex....I have 2 now for IWB carry for 2 different size pistols....they are comfortable adding almost no thickness to the gun...can wear it all day over my right flank area and not 'feel' it there.
I have given up on all of my 'expensive' leather holsters....sold them all and use kydex exclusively, never wears out, adjustable retention, can't beat it.
One of the best investments was in a "smartcarry" holster ( www.smartcarry.com )...I can wear it under shorts or under my scrubs and no one knows you're carrying....can go shirtless in the summer and still carry without a fanny-pack. Worth looking at depending on your style of dress. I wore it once with a tuxedo and no one knew it was there except me....and my wife!!
I wore it the last time I worked out with our SWAT team... we were doing a live fire scenerio and when I produced a pistol out of 'no-where' they took notice....2 of the guys that do undercover just ordered them.
