Shielded Holster Adarga Model, anyone have one?

Was looking at getting the Adarga model offered by Shielded Holsters, I searched around on Gunnit and no one seems to be talking about that model just the Double Phalanx. Anyone have any thoughts on it? Have a Glock 19, I like the idea of being able to switch the carry from IWB to OWB.

I don't, but I love shielded holsters. Id just recommend getting two holsters. I really can't see a full kydex holster being comfortable iwb.

I have heard Kurt does custom work. Maybe email him about a double phalanx with OWB cutouts. Then it is just a matter of removing the clips.

Or like I said, get the DP (hehehe) and a dedicated OWB holster. The Adarga doesn't seem all that special, but I don't own one nor do I OWB carry.

Hmm I see what you mean, figured it being winter soon could OWB carry if I wanted to. I guess I will just stick with two holsters if that is what I decide on. The Adarga just looked quite nice, I guess it will be a Phalanx for me as well!

With the DP (or CB), I go up a size with my pants.

I'm not sure how curved the Adarga is, but it doesn't seem like it would contoured to the body enough to be comfortable.

I also question how strong those kydex clips are. Luckily, he stands behind his work.

The DP can't be beat, but without trying out an Adarga I'm not convinced.

I was kind of on the fence already otherwise I wouldn't of posted about the Adarga. Figured a hybrid holster would be best for long term carry but liked the option of switching carry style. This will be my first concealed carry holster so figured I would ask before I bought!

Well if you ever get one, post a review.

Personally I find IWB conceals better for me all year.

I just ordered a DP today, and there's actually already an option for this. The IWB holsters have the option for belt slots behind the clips for OWB carry.

From the FAQ:

Q: How do the OWB slots work on the IWB holsters? A: Slots are punched behind the IWB clips. The IWB clips can be removed or stay on the holster and your belt is run through the OWB slots.
