I prefer leather. It’s a natural, comfortable, conforming material that gets better with age and won’t last forever in a landfill when it finally does wear out.
I use both types depends on the situation.
I have a IWB leather Comp-tac and LOVE it
WIN!
Leather
I live In Maryland and as it is a Communist there is no way in hell unless you are a retired cop or own a business and carry around a load of cash all the time or are an actual victem of a violent crime with a current threat can you get a carry permit.
But that is supposed to change as it was deemed unconstitutional.
So I am reading about which is better and I think it is a matter of personal choice.
Whatever the material, I am going to go for comfort inside the waistband carry, As I need to conceal a 4 inch 1911 .45acp .
I prefer leather I have never tried one of the plastic molded holsters I feel that it would leave wear marks on the gun faster then carrying in a leather holster. I would take a nylon holster over the molded plastic holsters if I could not find a leather one I liked. Being left handed limits my choices on buying a holster at some places who carry few if any left hand ones some only carry right hand holsters.
I would go with a leather holster.
I’m new to handguns and concealed carry but I have a blackhawk holster and its awesome. So I’m gonna have to say synthetic.
I prefer leather that is custom made for the firearm. It fits better and holds the weapon better. Also it does not make you sweat as bad as the PLASTIC ones
Would love to win, I’m moving to a city that allows ccw and that has a high violent crime. I really need as much help and information as possible.
I have both, but prefer leather – IWB. Thank you for the opportunity for the free book!
I prefer Leather but there are certain carry situations when I will a Kydex rig.
I have both types of holsters but I do prefer the synthetic.
I prefer leather as it molds to become more comfortable over time.
It’s probably a toss up between the two. However, I can see the utility of using a synthetic application when in an environment that would be on the hot side, causing the wearer to sweat, thereby affection the leather holster more than synthetic also possibly wicking the moisture through the leather onto the firearm. (granted, you’d have to sweat a lot but nevertheless, a possibility!)
Leather
I like synthetic better because it does not retain moisture. I would very much like to win these books because Massad Ayoob is my favorite author.
Probably the best is the one that gets used. That goes down to personal preference. I know it’s expensive to try them all, but if you don’t like the one you have, try another!
I carry Synthetic, but leather is nice if I can find the shape and a good price.
