Holsters with no tilt

I have been looking around or months and really can't find any holsters that ride straight up and down.. I don't care for the forward tilt, and I feel like my wrist is going to break off when I go to draw with the tilt.. Anybody have any recommendations for a NO TILT holster that they carry?

I've used quite a bit of Rafter S leather as they have virtually no cant whatsoever.

Most custom makers will build a holster without a cant if you want.

Galco has the "Avenger" model which has no cant at all.

Most of the plastic holster have no real cant (Uncle Mikes, Blackhawk, etc.) or are adjustable. If you're into Kydex, try Blade-Tech or Comp-Tac. Good companies.

Depending on how large your firearm is, I've found that it is much easier to draw a larger firearm (say, a Beretta 92, 1911, etc.) from a slightly forward canted holster. Smaller frames are much easier to draw from a vertical cant.

Canted holsters are designed to be worn around the 4 o'clock position which affords a much more natural draw stroke. Where are you wearing your holster?

Well, if I where it at 4 or 5 o'clock, I get a bulge in my clothing. I like to wear it at 3 o'clock but that is where I have the problem. The cant is too much when I wear a high rise holster. I looked at the website you sent and am more looking for a snap holster. I think that you are right about a custom holster made, that might be my only option. Thanks

Kramer Leather makes a vertical scabbard. I have one for each of my two revolvers and one for a semi-auto.
There is no safety strap, but the holster just seems to suck in your piece and hold it tightly. Kramer is expensive, but worth it. The horsehide is super, but + bucks.

I have a holster from High Noon that has has no "tilt". It is an IWB called the Hidden Ally. It also has the option of being tuckable. It holds the weapon tight to the body. Their shipping was very fast. I had ordered a Don Hume off of the internet from a place called Product Wizard. They touted same day shipping. After waiting a week for the holster to arrive, I contacted them two times through e-mail and once on the phone. They finally responded and said it was out of stock and I requested a refund. I will no longer do any business with Product Wizard.
