Ive asked a few people here for advice, Ive searched here, and everywhere else I could find. I have NO experiance with IWB carry, so Im asking first, for a list of must have features to look for, then some nice-to-have features. Also would like to know about features, like say a short sweat guard, full size sweat guard, no sweat guard, ect. My requirements that I know I want are:
1.Kydex
2. About $75 give or take a little.
3. If possible, can also be used as an OWB.
4.Capable of being used with multiple belt widths, even if additional hardware needed.
5. Easy/SAFE re-holstering.
6. No ridiculous wait time. A week or so, fine.
7. USA Made.
8. Ill be carrying strictly at the 3:00 and 4:00 position.
9. Good CS if needed.
10. Im 6'1" tall...about 260lbs, if this helps.
So if yall can suggest some holsters, or features I need, or just any further help on this Id appreciate it. Im looking to order in about 2 weeks or so. Thanks Gents!!

UPDATE: JUST ordered the Galco Double Time Holster IWB/OWB for my G17. Tactical Store.com has them for $55.96 SHIPPED. thats as cheap as I could find after looking around a few days.
Ill try it out awhile and give my opinion on it when I can. Thanks for all the recommendations & help!!

I've had good luck with the Comp-Tac Minotaur. Here's their inexpensive version:

I am also a big fan of Comp-Tac for IWB. I would spend the extra 10 bucks and get the MTAC. I have one on my hip right now. If you order it with the right shell, you can carry a G17 or G19 with the same holster.

They have very good cusutomer service, fast shipping, and the quality is high.

Also, if you buy an additional shell, you can switch guns for only $35. Not shabby.

The only drawback is that you cannot also use it as an OWB. But realistically, finding an inexpensive OWB is not hard. The RCS ready to ship gear is very good, and gets to you pretty dang fast. Well under 30 days. And RCS is really good people, too.

Have you considered the Vanguard 2 from Raven Concealment? It doesn't really meet your need for an easy re-holster, but certainly fits the minimalistic requirement.

I love mine, and really recommend it.

The new Galco Double Time fits the bill. It's a thin, kydex holster that comes with extra straps to wear it IWB or OWB.

Thank you all for the recommendations, Ive looked at all of them.
The Blade Tech is nice, I REALLY like the Blade Tech RAZOR holsters,
anybody have experiance with these?
Also..that GALCO is REALLY in the running right now. Poly..I looked at the Quick Ship holster, nice. I do like the Galco & Blade Tech better as of now.
Any more ideas or suggestions?

UPDATE: After looking again at the Galco, Im gonna order it this week. It looks to be EXACTLY what Ive been wanting. THANK YOU ALL for the help...I really appreciate it!!

I've been very happy with my ZCS (Zero Concealment, formerly Hideous Holster). I replaced the loops with CompTac clips and find it very easy to use and comfortable. They have some quick ship models so you shouldn't have to wait long.

DSG Arms in Ft. Worth, TX. I think a best kept secret for ready made kydex holsters. Most are under $70.00 and you can also purchase matching mag holders if you wish. :D

The Alpha series is primarily a OWB holster but can be converted for IWB with the extra clips.

Both the M-TAC and the Raven Concealment Phantom hit all of your requirements and they're both fantastic holsters. I have both and slightly prefer the M-TAC though the Phantom is a close second.

I got a holster from here: http://tac-tech-cal.com/

I really haven't used it enough to comment on durability, yet.

Shipping was within a week and I got the IWB clips so it can be worn IWB or OWB.

I use and have been very happy with the Comp-tac Infidel.

That and their single mag carriers are my standard carry and IDPA competition gear.
