So I have been buying lots of holsters lately (you will find out soon why [emoji56]) specifically for the Glock 34. These two holsters have been in the back of my head for a while now and I wanted to get an owners opinion. They both seem remarkably similar sooooo, what are the benefits of one or the other? And does one carry a 5in gun better or does one carry a smaller gun better.

Have both but one is a 19, one is a 17. The JRC seems to be a smidge better by way of seeming to be a little less bulky due to the way the leather is treated and layered less. I might be totally wrong on that but it seems that way. The built in pad on the Invictus is nice but I think the JRC edges it. If they were dead even the fact that JRC participates here is enough for me. Good dude.

I have gotten that vib. Since seeing the Watson tease post I was excited, but still wanted to know. Thx Tom

I don't have any JRC products.

I had one of the first Invictus' made, and it was ok, although it isn't adjustable at all. The JRC seems like it is quite a bit more customizable.

FWIW there's a thread on TPI right now (which also references a few threads from other forums) about some very sketchy customer service from Garrity.
OTOH I've never seen anything but praise for excellent service from JRC.

I have no experience with Garrity, but do have some with JRC, but not the Watson. Jim is a hell of a good dude to do business with, super helpful and makes fantastic stuff. At this point, if I want leather, I start and stop my search with him.

If I wanted the holster on time, I'd avoid Garrity.

I've never seen a Garrity in person.

Having used both of JRC's AIWBs, I think the CDAII is a better option for the Glock. The Watson would be better for a slimmer pistol.

I carried and reviewed the In-victus in 2014.

It is not a good holster and I would highly recommend not spending your money on it.

I've got a few Garrity in-conspicuous holsters. They are AWESOME 3:30 IWB rigs. But the risk is just too big, tring to get something from him

Ok I so we collectively like the JRC. Not so much the Garrity [emoji28]

All I have been buying/using lately is Garrity's gun leather, never had issues with timing or delivery, Mark is outstanding guy and a LEO.

I'm glad he's shipping on time now, but there's ample evidence of problems with him going back years, while he was an LEO.

I'm thinking he still a LEO, his dad had medical issues a few month back and he got injured on duty also, I don't know if he's back to work.
