What is the best security/concealable holster?

[G19A3]

Requirements:

1. Snatch-resistant !! (More than just a thumb snap....Level 2?)

2. Concealable

3. Comfortable for a 16hr shift

That's it.


Safariland Model 7377 7TS™ ALS?

I guess that wasn't it.....lol.

4. No IWB or AIWB (Client wants the duty gun HIGHLY visible at times (but not a duty rig), concealed and low-profile at other times (all legal and legit).....If so, I demand the holster be snatch-resistant.)

I wore an earlier version of that holster with a SIG P229 and then a Springfield Armory XD in .45 for years. Very comfortable, very secure, lightening fast. Concealable? Kinda sorta.

There are all kinds. It's gonna be on you to try and decide what works best for you. I've tried Bladetech, White Hat, Crossbreed, NSR, and a few others. They all do a decent job but I've settled on High Country Holsters who I found through Reid Henrichs YouTube channel. He recommended them so I gave them a shot and they work well for me. It's just a Kydex holster with a high sweat guard on the back, low cut on the front and has 2 adjustable cant pull the dot loops. I've carried appendix with it, 4 o'clock, and finally now carry about 3 o'clock with some cant. Conceals well, the pull the dot loops make it extremely difficult to yank off, and I wear it everyday, all day. It's going to be personal preference. Hope this helps.

I have a safariland 578 GLS. I like it, but I don't use it for concealed carry. I believe it's similar in size and shape to the holster you are looking at. I honestly haven't tried to conceal it, I think it would be tough with warm weather. The locking system is a bit of a compromise, it's more theft resistant than just holster retention, but the GLS unlocks when you get a good high grip on the gun. It would probably be pretty easy to snatch from behind, but tough from the front or side.

I typically just use it for the range, and conceal with a AIWB holster.

I threw on a button up and took these. Concealed better than i would have thought, but I thought it was pretty viable from the side.

EDIT: never mind since original post was changed.

But if anyone is looking for a nice iwb....

N82 Pro.

Amazing retention system. You have to apply a slight twist to unholster the weapon. Almost impossible for someone to unholster it from behind you. Scratch resistant. By far the most comfortable holster I've used. I have one for my G27 and one for my G42.

Safariland has been my "go to" company for security holsters of various levels, whether for duty or concealed carry. I've used various models over the years and currently have ALS and GLS type locking holsters.

Galco Fletch (or FX, if you want suede lining).

It is a concealment-oriented holster with a thumb snap. OWB, so very comfy. I believe my present roommate carried his pistol in one in uniform when he was working for an armed/armored courier service and he was very happy with it.

Now that you've up-dated the original post... the 7377 holster is not a level 2 retention holster, it is a level 1 retention holster. It is fast, it will keep your gun from falling out of the holster, but it is not particularly concealable and won't slow down a gun snatch any more than a thumb snap.

If you want a level 2 retention 7TS "concealment" holster (really, the 7TS "concealment" holsters are duty holsters attached to pants belt loops and paddles), you want the 7367. It still won't be particularly concealable, but it will offer the retention level you want in a brand and style similar to what you suggested. Another option would be the Safariland 0701, although I doubt it would be much better from a concealment stand point than the 7377 or 7367.

If you want something that is actually concealable and offers level 2 retention, your best bet is probably going to be to contact a saddlery shop that offers both good level 2+ duty holsters and concealment holsters and see if they will make you something that will work for you.
