I always liked a thumb break style like federal man. I never liked the old swivel holsters or flap holsters they first issued me in the early 60s. I have had those swivel break at least once. Many years ago the motor officers wore them in LA. I always wore the least leather and accesories that I could get away with. I also used to wear a river rig special ordered from Don Hume. For comfort considerations I wore rigs that were higher on the belt than most of the other guys. Rather than carry a holster for my radio, I hand carried my pac set. I only tried IWB a few times and didnt like it. I tried cross draw, it was just okay, I didnt stay with it. I tried and have several paddle holsters, but for some reason I dont like them much. Maybe its because I have found that I need a full size uniform gun belt to keep my pants up. The paddle holsters that I am talking about arent for a uniform belt. Your tastes will change with your weight!!
