So based on looks alone, the stealthgear appears to be more comfortable with the padding, but you stated the aliengear is more comfortable, can you elaborate on that a bit? I've also been looking at some paddle style holsters for owb carry, you have any suggestions on those?

Absolutely! I think what I said in part one was that the Alien Gear was more comfortable due to the padding. In part 2 I said that the Stealth Gear was more comfortable in the heat due to it's smaller size and breathability. So, take it for what it's worth I guess. If you're going to be outside a lot sweating, I would get the SG. If heat was not an issue, then I vote for AG. Hope that cleared it up some?

Indeed it does. Thanks.

I will have to get back with you later on the paddle holster question, my wife is giving me the evil eye to get ready and go to supper LOL

I get that look often. I'll leave you with something i read recently that I got a kick out of.

Guy is sitting in the living room watching tv.
His wife yells at him: You're not even listening to me are you?
Guy says: That's an odd way to start a conversation.

LOL! That's pretty good! As far as the paddle holster goes, I have used Fobus and Blackhawk and they are both great polymer holsters I liked the Black Hawk better at the time I was wearing it because it had a button that you had to press on the side to release a locking mechanism so the weapon could be drawn. I was wearing that one while I was a criminal Detective. The fobus holsters that I wore, were some that I had purchased for different pistols and they worked just fine. I also have had a few leather paddle holsters by Galco which were fine. But to be completely honest with you, I can't really recommend a good paddle holster because I haven't worn one in a very long time and I know that several manufacturers make them. If you find a good one, let me know!

I have a good one for my ruger, I would just wish that the paddle part that goes against my hip was padded but its solid plastic. Not sure of the brand though.
