Don Hume 721 OT. I got a blemished one for about $45 - good leather holster in every respect.

 

Thank you I will look into it

 

If you want Kydex, I’ve been wearing my G26/G27 Gen 4s in a Vedder LightDraw with 10° forward cant using the pancake clips. I also carry behind the hip and can cover the holster with a loose fitting t-shirt. At the lowest ride height of the holster, the muzzle is just about the height of my back pocket. I could raise the gun a little higher, but my untucked t-shirts run a bit long. I’ve handled, but haven’t carried with, the C&G OWB holster. I think it would also work, but because I carry behind the hip, I wanted a bit of cant to the holster and the C&G holster requires offsetting the height of the belt loops, as opposed to building it into the kydex shell like the Vedder.

LightDraw® OWB

The LightDraw® OWB Kydex Holster is an outside the waistband (OWB) holster with adjustable retention that is molded to fit your gun perfectly. Made in the USA!

If you prefer leather, I also use a Ritchie Leather CQQR-S, which also works quite well.

Thank you

 

I like JM. Very tight to body and higher.

I liked the look of the JM Custom OWB1, but I was on the fence about the belt loops and couldn’t quite tell how much curvature there was to the holster. The plain black holster is made of Boltaron, which is a bit more robust than Kydex, which appealed to me. I may give it a try when I pick up another holster.

 

T-Rex Arms makes a good kydex holster. I have 2 of the Ironside holsters.

Dale Fricke Gideon. Keeps the gun butt tucked tight to your side and is a compact design. I have several and love them.

The Gideon Elite© Holster is carefully designed for maximum concealment and speed; intentionally holding the butt of the gun close to your body like no other belt holster.

Dale's a great guy too!

 

My go to for G26:

bianchileather carrylok

Have several of these including one for HK P2000sk and a Bianchi Evader the bigger Glocks.

 

I want to thank everyone who responded I will look into your recommendations

 

A few already said it, but Vedder light tuck is what I buy for summer OWB. I have one for both G23.5 and G27.5. I’d imagine G26 would fit even tighter.

 

I also use a Vedder Lite Tuck for my G27.5...it sits very close and is very concealable for OWB. When I wear 5.11 ABR pants, I use the left hand mag pocket for a spare mag.

KT-Mech LLC Gunfighter, great OWB holster!

 

I am impressed with Alien Gear , I have one for my Glock 43x and they are very versatile .

 

I have been impressed with Wright Leatherworks. A solid, well made leather OWB holster that keeps my Glock close and tight to my body. In the summer I will wear a lightweight cover shirt and this holster does the job. Very comfortable as well.

 

Spend $15 and buy a Glock Sport/Combat holster. Won't hold moisture, sits high and tight, covers the trigger, basically does everything a $50+ holster does for much less.

 

I like my alien gear and safariland retention.

 

I carry a G26 OWB all summer long under a T shirt or flat bottom button down shirt and after trying an awful lot of holsters ( I have a box full now.) I've decided that the TT Gun Leather OWB pancake holster is the most comfortable and easiest to conceal I've found. A good gun belt like the Beltman or similar is a must with OWB holsters.

TT Gun Leather OWB Pancake holster

 

I have 4 of these, and this model is my 2nd favorite OWB holster of all time, 2nd to the now extinct Comp-Tac Gladiator. I despise and refuse to thread a belt through loops. I have used them mountain biking, with hard crashes happening, and nothing went wrong with my holster or gun. Never accidentally came off of my belt, and they are very secure. The gun is held fairly high and tight, install/removal is very fast and easy, and design/quality and customer service are top notch. They are offered in various configurations, like with/without sweat guard, etc.

I’d be surprised if that came off with dual under-hooks on each belt clip.

 

Another vote for the Vedder OWB

 

Bravo makes good stuff.

 

I’ve been using a Galco Concealable with my G26 for the past 6 years. I want to try the Wright Leatherworks Predator pancake holster. I use a Comp Tac Warrior Kydex for my G19 but I don’t see one on their website for the 26.

I have several. They’re very good holsters. I think you’ll like them.

 

My current OWB for my 17 is a Safariland 6378 ALS.

The highest & tightest G26 (and other models) holster I remember many of my coworkers bought back as far as 1999 was the Bianchi "Black Widow". Did a search, just now, and it's still on the market, although a bit more expensive than I remember.

Discover optimal concealability with the Black Widow™ Belt Slide Holster. Its compact profile and ultra-high ride ensure a snug, comfortable fit.

I think it'd be referred to as a 'belt slide' with 'thumb break or snap'.
Good luck on your search, decision, and purchase.

Now, for an OWB G26 holster, I'm more likely using a Safariland like this one:

Any quality Kydex holster is a good choice. Height is adjustable, there is a bit of retention, and presentations are quick. For leather, I like the El Paso Saddlery Street Combat. It’s a lined, open-topped pancake offering that has okay retention, is safer for re-holstering, and has a shape-hugging profile. EPS also offers custom stamping/carving on their leather products. There is a bit of a wait, as their stuff is generally made to order. Prices are reasonable as long as you don’t go crazy with extras.

Mitch Rosen UPL-EXP. High and tight. I use a sharp knife to extend belt slots to 1 3/4".

 

I am a big fan of the JM4 Tactical Relic; especially the Lonestar.
