Right handed, no fancy sights, strong side draw. What else can influence the decision?

I am a big fan of AlienGear and have a shell for every carry gun I own
Well... after a 38 year run in military and civilian law enforcement... I'm gonna go out on a limb...
It depends in what the day to day use will be.
It depends on if you are comfortable with it.
It depends if it is functional and not subjected to failure.
When under cover narcotics...I wanted a level one, no snap...a pinch type under the belt...
When I was on the street... a level four.
When in the office as a chief, a level two worked well. A simple snap over the top...
I do not favor plastic...but had one. A level three... it was a pain in the ass... literally...it had no give and was hard on the waist.
I will always favor leather. You just have to remember to swap it out before it fails...8-10 years maximum with everyday use...
Think of it like your ammo... rotate it. I recall an old chief who had the old belt loop leather holders for his .357... never cleaned it...the rounds turned green from moisture and began rotting the loops.
But the main consideration ... are you comfortable with it. Do you trust it... if not... why in the f%$# are you using it?
Only exception to this rule? You have a mandate from an idiot who will not permit you to carry anything else but what is issued.

Crossbreed. For concealed. Nothing better. I carry a G19 normally but it'll fit a 17. Also maybe drop some bills on Truglo day/night green sights.
