CCW with leather?
I'm looking to carry due to recently getting my CC license. Anyone has a good holster they are using that allows them to sit in the m3/m4 without killing the leather and is comfortable? I will be CC a G19 or G26.
Thanks p.s. no tucked shirts for me so IWB or OWB is okay to me |

I have multiple milt sparks vm2 work well. Generally carry at between 3-4 oclock position iwb. Little expensive and wait is 4 months though. Untucked shirt or light coat should be enough to protect your seat but deepens on the grip primarily as its all that will stick out. My 1911 has some pretty rough grips and still no issues in any car. Sport seat will just force you to slide the gun around to 3 rather than closer to 4 to sit.

For sitting in a car seat the most comfortable holster I've used is an Alien Gear IWB. I have one for both my G29 and my 226. Neither seems to erode the leather.

+1 for Appendix carry. No need to worry about ruining leather, and its the quickest position to draw from. Just get used to have a barrel pointed at your junk.
This is where I got mine: http://www.insanekydexcreations.com/ |

I carry about 98% of the time I leave the house and do so at the 4-5 o'clock position. No issues with vehicle leather.
For IWB cross breed, Alien gear and stealth gear USA make grate products. I'm currently wearing and OWB stealth gear and it's fantastic. When carrying appendix, I go with Gcode as mentioned above. Probably the highest quality holster I've used. Also, don't underestimate the need for a quality belt. I have some holsters (for G19 frame) and belts I'm not using any more. PM if interested. I suppose I should state that I currently own holsters from all the manufacturers I listed above.

Enter appendix carry - belt is back to normal tightness, weight of the gun is already in the "low" portion of my waistline. It just works so much better and more comfortably, now I carry everywhere again.

Enter a quality carry belt and now i carry everywhere far more comfortably. Ares Aegis is top notch. I've been highly recommending them since i received my first one. Everyone i know who has gone that route has thanked me. I was actually bitching on a forum about how even carrying with my "tactical" belt left my pistol flopping around and a local guy straightened me out with this belt recommendation. I'm glad he did. This belt is so good i can carry outside the waistband and it stays snug against my torso. I do agree though, if not using that belt, i'd prefer appendix carry.

My concern is being able to draw while in the seat, I use a N82 tactical hoster for a couple of my carry pistols and really like them but I take them out and put them in the door pocket when I'm driving so I can get them if need be.

Have same concern often put it between seat and center console. But also need to think about carjacking getting out of car with it on person is better than having it stuck in door and having to go for it quickly. Situational awareness and all.

That is odd, usually it's the other way round. I didn't have any real issues until trying to carry OWB at that position. IWB seemed to be ok with a reasonable belt, but even then, it was 10x better with the Ares belt.
