I use a kydex IWB I picked up off Ebay. I usually wear it on the hip, but it can easily be appendix carried. One thing I really like about the IWB kydex holsters is that when you carry with one in the chamber, as I mostly do, you can take the entire package out and put it away without removing the gun from the holster, thus making it safer to handle. It is also good for taking a dump. You can again, remove the holster/gun without unholstering the gun.
Btw, I highly recommend Truglo TFX sights on the 42 or any of the Glocks. They are super bright, and easy to aquire, day or night. The fiber optics magnify the tritium at night, and really pick up the light in the daytime, too.

This is true for just about everyone who carries consistently.
Your systems change as time goes on, put on or lose weight, carry extra mags or a different size or model pistol, etc. Some of the holsters out there just flat out are terrible for everyday use. Huge clips that are cheap and brittle, cheap thin kydex or poorly formed leather are common in the cheaper products. Have had many cheap holsters crack or deform after not even a few months.
Only over the last couple years have I stuck with a system religiously. But the holster drawer is still full.

I just added a new summer carry pistol to the mix, a S&W Shield 9mm, with Apex kit and Talon grips. I need night sites and a good IWB holster and I'll be all set. Kind of leaning toward a Stealth Gear Onyx, but for now, using a Galco IWB from some long forgotten pistol.

I haven't found a one and done yet.... That's y I started making them I can change one holster a hundred times or make a completely new one. The one for my glock 19 I haven't touched in two years and I carry it daily.

You make? Can you show a pic of the one you like so much for your 19? I'm a big fan of leather. Like Bianchi etc. But, they take so much time to break in. So stiff & tight at first.
