I’ve been trying to choose a IWB rig. All my googling led me to David at Kytac. After a few emails and a phone call I am about to give up… Everything I read about his product online is a few years old BUT extremely positive!
Anyhow… Is there anything better or just as good?
Not at all familiar with Kytex. I went to their website to find a picture of their holsters and couldn’t find anything. Kind of a red-flag in my book.
There’s plenty of well-established kydex manufacturers out there. My favorites include:
PJ Holsters
Clinger
Comp-Tac
High NoonI wear my holsters at around 3:30 and the ones I’ve listed above work great.
There’s probably another 100 established holster manufacturers that work with kydex that I know nothing about.
Check out Raven Concealment. They are an industry standard for Kydex rigs, AIWB, IWB, OWB, OTB, POE and all that. Ready Tactical also has some interesting designs that have the belt loops molded into the back plate of the holster, which is kinda cool. I have mag pouches for handgun and rifle from Ready Tactical and Raven and I wouldn’t use anyone else personally after years of hard use.

I hear ya’ That seems to be the general conscious when I did my research.Then others say it’s worth the wait and hassle.
Another maker that kept coming up was Foxx, Deluxe Trapp holster
I am surprised that your Google searches led you to those holster makers. They are not what you might consider big names in what has become a very large field.
G-Code makes the Incog which is a nice IWB holster, there are several models by Dale Fricke, JM Custom and several others (as someone else mentioned, Raven Concealment is definitely one of the biggest names in the industry).
There are so many good options that I wouldn’t mess with ordering from a source that doesn’t even provide photos of their products.Cook’s Holsters makes a good product.
I’ll second the g-code recommendation as well. They’re one of few that uses injection molding instead of thermoplastic sheets, unless I’m mistaken.
I do NOT like my Dale Fricke. It’s the only one I’ve seen that used the thicker kydex, and it’s just bulky with no real advantages.
I don’t want to say kydex is kydex, but that’s kind of been my experience. If the design looks good and it comes to you in a reasonable amount of time without being too shiny (which indicates it being overheated and brittle), it’s probably fine.
I’m also vaguely happy with an OWB I got from black point tactical (iirc), so I’d give them a try. I think theirs might be a bit thick for me, though.

Check out Clinger Holsters. I’ve had their stingray model for about 4 months now and I’ve been really happy with it. Also their prices are great and their turnaround time is pretty fast.
Check out Comptac Ctac. Great all kydex build, but has 2 leather struts for flexibility and major tuckability. And having two spaced out clips keeps the weight spread out evenly. It also minimizes bulk compared to holsters that have a clip mounted right on the widest part of the gun.

Which High Noon are you using? Are they as good at kydex as they are at leather?I use their Split Decision tuckable leather holster for my carry guns. I just bought one for the Springfield I’ll be getting soon. I’m going to carry it for awhile in that. I’ve been thinking about upgrading to one of their hybrid holsters, Turning point model.
So far I like the looks of the
Gcode
Cook Adjustable
Foxx Double Trapp
PJIn that order.
I really want to like the Raven especially since they are local, but for the price I can try 2 other brands.

I have one of their Reaction-Lite holster for a G19. It’s a very well crafted kydex holster at a good price, but it doesn’t get much use as I favor a Comp-Tac MTAC for the G19.
