Alien Gear, same as most of the other kydex holsters, half the price. And yes, if you're smart, you'll alter the holster to fit you.

If you're worried about your carry weapon staying pristine looking, put it on a shelf and get another gun. Pretty does not protect you, functional does. And ALWAYS remember, the deadliest weapon you carry is your BRAIN, use it!
The secret to carrying forever is a comfortable belt. If you try using the WalMart specials, you will cease carrying because it's too uncomfortable.
I order my belts from Wilderness. They are reinforced tactical belts made for concealed carry.

I have worn the Original Instructor belt for over 15 years. I still have and use the first one I ever bought, that's how good they are.
For the first 6 months, you will think EVERYONE is looking at you and can see your weapon. Truth is that the sheeple are so clueless, they wouldn't see your weapon if it fell out of your holster. Going to a public bathroom is another adventure, I try to avoid the public restrooms for the squatting.
I am involved in our Church Security also. I wear that Wilderness Instructor belt with a full size S&W M&P 40, a double mag holder, tactical flashlight, handcuffs, radio, and my cell phone. I won't say I don't notice the weight, but it would be impossible with a plain leather belt. We train year round in the Church and at the range. When we train, we wear ALL equipment we patrol with.
Find a GOOD tactical class and go. You will learn volumes. We, as a Church Security Team are lucky enough to have a few SWAT team members and tactical experts in our Church. Their instruction is invaluable. Some folks remain unarmed even though they carry a gun! PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE! You don't need to shoot to practice. Empty your weapon and then make absolutely sure it's empty again. Practice drawing from concealment, it's harder than you think. If you have never been in a firefight, your brain will shut down and all you can rely on is muscle memory. If you have not practiced, you're screwed.
Get yourself some good Concealed Carry insurance. I use CCW SAFE.

If you are involved in ANY shooting, you will go bankrupt protecting yourself, even though it's a good shooting.
You are at the beginning of a long learning experience, enjoy it. And always remember, with great power comes great responsibility.
