I know I have recommended the German Polizei Surplus holsters as a good, budget holster, but they just don't suit everyone's taste, and CZ holsters can be a chore to find. I know, I tried to find one for my southpaw brother... So, I went to Ebay, and was surprised to find a wide variety of holsters in all carry methods. There is a full spectrum of materials; leather, Kydex, and nylon.
Some styles I just do not care for. As a former LEO, retention is a key concern of mine. Also, some just looked "cheap". If they can't make it look good for an ad picture, IMO, it's just not worth considering. I was focused primarily on concealed carry, but their were a few others that caught my eye. I am on a budget, and I know no one wants to pay more than they have to for anything. Actually, I found some surprising values. Here are the ones that piqued my interest for under $30.00...

For me Ebay is too much of a risk. There are a lot of good holster makers who stand by their product and offer it at a fair price. I am in the buy once cry once camp. If you are going to carry this thing everyday for years $50-$100 is not a lot of money over the long haul to get something comfortable. If its not comfortable you won't carry it. Take this advice from someone who has a drawer full of cheap holsters that never get used.

In the ten years I have been a member of Ebay, I have gotten burned exactly... once. In that one case, Ebay covered my loss. Most of the holsters I found on Ebay were national brands, just overstocked or discontinued models, at ridiculously low prices. The holster I wound up buying for my brother was a top quality, Gould & Goodrich (new, old stock). Others are Chinese holsters. In my experience Chinese products range from fair to good, to excellent; usually worth at least what you pay for them.
Not everyone has the luxury to be choosy, as you do. I DID specify these were options for those with budgetary limits. When you do, you may not be able to afford what you want, but at least you have something to use till you can. Sometimes, you find it is everything you wanted... like when I bought a SAR instead of a CZ. On the other hand, I have paid the premium for exactly what I wanted, and found that I just hated it. Life is a crap shoot. Weigh the odds, make your bet, and roll the dice.

I've gotten a lot of good deals on ebay and have very rarely been disappointed. Sometimes it's the only place you can find some things.
