    Urban Carry Lockleather OWB?

    Thoughts on this holster?

    https://urbancarryholsters.com/order...b-holster.html

    "A unique hybrid OWB leather holster providing the safety and security of Kydex with the comfort and durability of premium leather."

    I am looking for a good OWB option for my P365XL. Normally I would just order an RCS Perun, since they work very well for me. But Raven indicates the P365XL is not yet available and might be for sale by the end of the summer.

    This Urban Carry OWB features leather (which I like, I used to carry EDC in a Mitch Rosen Upper Limit) as well as a kydex shell for mouth retention, plus a "lock" system for a bit of retention. The cant seems to be fixed, but I carry aft of the mid-section and don't think it is too different from what I order normally (about 15 degrees.)

    At $59 for basic black, it is available in left hand for the P365XL. Any pros or cons I should be looking out for in this? I am very tempted to pick one up for the box o' holsters.

    Given Urban Carry’s track record on producing stupid stuff, I’d be hesitant. From their video that clip going in to the trigger guard the way it does seems inviting of an ND if one reholstered too hard or even if you hit your gun on something hard enough to force it more in to the holster. That’s all speculation on my part though.

    The Safariland 537 or 637 would be my preference for something similar but I don’t know if either are available for the P365XL and lefty.

    Not knowing anything about the brand or their quality, the only obvious concern for me with that design is thickness. You can get just kydex pretty thin, but there's going to be a price for putting both materials together.

    The P365 is such a thin gun I would be looking for a more minimalist design.

    Looks like it might give you "Glock leg".
    I would not touch that thing with a ten foot pole.

    Urban Carry, thought I recognized the design. The heir to the Pager Pal dynasty. Given their historical tardness, and that there are other people doing the leather/kydex combo, I would just keep moving.

    Wrapping kydex with leather seems to me to be the only way to get the worst of both worlds. You get a fatter holster that creaks, brilliant!

    Yeah, that's kind of why I asked. Appreciate the thoughts, guys. @Pacioli @Leroy Suggs @rjohnson4405. I think ya'll just saved me $59.

    They are not, just checked on the Safariland Web site.

    EDIT I guess I will just wait for the RCS Perun to be available for the P365XL. It's a proven design, I've used it before for both my G19 and G43X, cheap, ambidextrous out of the box, and adjustable.

    How?
    Think for yourself. Question authority.

    I tried the Tenicor ARX, which has a similar design to the Perun. While good, I found the JMCK OWB2 to be even better. The 365XL is listed as an option.
