I have a custom made owb holster that fits all of my polymers I use for carry.
I am more into accuracy shooting at 25 and 50 yards but now that I have accuracy down want to work on my tactical skills.
Have been a gym rat all of my life along with having strong hand to hand fighting skills but my tactical shooting skills are nothing great.
I like this holster but not sure if this kind of holster is safe for the polymers I use for carry.
FNP-45
HK-45
HKp30L -9
XDM-45
XDM-9
I don't like IWB holsters.
I am new to polymers coming from 1911's but I now would rather use my polymers for carry...
I have no problems getting my pistols out and it rides nice on my side..I see most use other styles in holsters
Thanks for any constructive help....

The biggest issue I can see is the number of guns you are carrying. That much variation, especially when you are trying to learn something is a huge hinderance to gaining proficiency. You need to pick A gun to work with and carry.

The holster seems OK, but a holster specifically made for the pistol model it's going to be holding will always be better.

It is not safe in my book. Try picking one and only one gun for training for 6 months. Buy a good purpose built holster for it. Take a training class.

There's nothing wrong with pancake holsters if you dislike IWB carry. I would echo the advice to choose a single gun for carry and getting a holster made specifically for it, however. A purpose built holster is going to offer much better retention, especially if you're using an open top OWB holster.

I use the HK-45 most of the time.
I will just use it for now on.
