I'm always in search of perfection when it comes to holsters and have tinkered with many in attempts to get what i want in a CCW holster. I had borrowed a crossbred from a friend and was very impressed and had messed with wrapping a soft holster around a kydex and had decided that a hybrid was what i wanted. So on a Sunday evening i decided to order the crossbreed, went thru all the choices and at the end got a "hey call us to order" message. Uh NO, I just wanna order it, so flipped over to amazon and ordered a Galco KingTuk from opticsplanet, 5 weeks later no holster. I then decided to order straight from the factory, no luck, backordered but amazingly got an ad the next day for their new holster. Back to the drawing board.
I found this
from FoxX Holsters. Its a sight cheaper than them others but they didnt skimp on quality and I got the one for the G26 which was delievered without hassle as it should be a few days later. I got it at around 3pm and forgot i was wearing the new holster and went on an 11 mile bicycle ride at 6pm with no issues and it carried very nicley with very little print. I recommend testing equipment but usually not like that, coulda found myself chaffed on the trail.
The advantages to the hybrid are the comfort of the leather backing, the cut that allows for the draw, the kydex that stays open for reholstering, the wider stance for smaller printing against shirts, the ability to move the way it carries with a few screws. It also holds my full size G17 without rubbing or any other issues.
With G26 is was designed for
with full size G17 it will also hold in case i get a little deeper outdoors and want a little more range or something and make a quick gun switch
Anyway after a lot of looking, trying and head scratching this is what i decided on. The Hydrid design
