    Not a fan of kydex. Love me some leather.

    I agree wholeheartedly.

    I prefer leather, but I have one kydex holster that came from a gun trade and it's not bad. I could see a kydex or hybrid holster for certain guns / applications, but like both of you, I like leather holsters the best. The look and feel of leather is hard to beat!

    I like kydex for outside the pants, but leather for inside the pants.
    If I were young and skinny, then it probably wouldn't matter as much to me

    For me it depends on the weapon. Large carry I go either way, leather or Kydex. Slim carry IWB I prefer Kydex. Shape retention and resistance to moisture are big factors.

    I don't even feel my PPS and I'm far from my HS weight :P

    If I recall correctly, I used a Glock 26 holster for my Rami. It was a DeSantis IWB, leather, but only had one clip and moved around a lot.

    Yep, my experience is that single clip holsters are very difficult to use for large and/or heavy guns. I use a single clip Safariland holster for my Shield and it works very well, but I've tried using a similar holster for my G19 when I had one and I didn't like how it moved around. It moved a lot more than the smaller, lighter Shield.

    That's why I've only got holsters with two belt attachment points now. I used to have some with single attachment points, but they moved all over the place. They would cant at weird angles and move along the belt.....couldn't stand it.
