I like a lot of the Blackhawk holsters - and they have just come out with a new one that fits multiple weapons with good security - I know it is OWB but that is my preference - it is called the Omnivore. Hope this helps

I have several from High Noon Holsters and really like them. I strongly prefer leather holsters to kydex for comfort and if you sweat a little on a hot day the leather will absorb the moisture rather than keeping it trapped against the gun.

I have become a huge fan of Alien Gear Holsters. If you are going OTW, I don't think you can get better.

For IWB, nothing beats the No Print Wonder from Clincher Holsters.

I have both for my Sig P938. Love 'em. I don't think either will let you down.

If it's just for range work and you never carry a pistol, an IWB holster makes no sense. You'll spend as much time re-tucking your shirt as shooting. If you carry, devoting practice with an IWB is essential. I can't comment about your specific CZ as my advice is specific to the pistols I use most often.

I share a preference for leather holsters with some of the other posters. I have holsters from many manufacturers (Kramer, Milt Sparks, Lou Alessi, Alex Nossar), and all are top notch in terms of fit, finish, and functionality -- all are worth both the wait and cost. That said, my holsters from Milt Sparks see the most use. For range work, I really prefer their 55BN in straight drop. It's fast and all-day comfortable.

Regardless of what you get, a good quality gun belt is a must. The finest holster in the world will perform horribly on a flimsy belt.

I spent about 14 years carrying a pistol every day that I went to work, and about 3 of those was concealed only. I have pretty extensive training with both concealed and open carry.

In Canada, now that I am not doing that job I am only legally allowed to take my pistol from my home to a range and back. Wandering around in the forest with it could get me into trouble if I happened to come across a cop or conservation officer. In my area, there are about 8 cops and 1 conservation officer covering territory about the size of Vermont. I wonder what the odds of that happening are? In my 5 years in this area, it hasn't happened yet. I have come across a pack of wolves 4 times, and bears at least 10. It makes for an interesting risk assessment.

Starting from scratch...

In that case, I like the VM-II from Milt Sparks for CCW. Holds the pistol tight against the body (strong side @ 4-5 o'clock), well balanced, and as comfortable as it gets for carrying a govt model 1911 IWB (I know you've got a CZ). There are lots of holsters that follow the VM-II's basic design.

I also like appendix carry with the right pistol and holster (think j-frame).

If I could get anything, I'd pick up a rig from Matt Del Fatti in WI. Unfortunately, if he's even taking new orders you'll have to wait years.

I'm a fan of the Alien Gear holsters too. I have one IWB and one OWB and like them both for my XD9.

For comfort, try these brands: https://www.remoraholsterstore.com/ or https://stickyholsters.com/

I have and use all these holsters.

I personally don't like carrying a double stack IWB but if I was going to I'd go to Crossbreed, it's a leather against the skin, I have horsehide and a kydex retention. On my glock 43 holster I have from them I did have to cut some of the leather away above the stock so I could get my hand on the stock and my thumb behind it. I carry it at 4 o'clock and it's very comfortable. I also have a sticky holster for it, I use it when it's in the safe or laying around to protect the trigger. On long drives I put the gun in the sticky holster between the seat and center counsel. I got mine from their seconds outlet,,,, may be why I had to modify it myself a bit. https://www.crossbreed-seconds.com/

For a good range holster this is what I have but I think any good hard plastic or kydex will do. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6NWTDO

For my double stack sub compact that I carry concealed OWB I use this and their double mag pouch. comfy and a jacket keeps it concealed.

Here is a company that makes a very rigid sturdy and well built holster that I have for a couple of my firearms. For the price it's an incredible value imo. They are called OutBasgsUSA which is a little confusing since they are based in Kalifornia? They are also available on Amazon,,,,,,,,,,,,, but what isn't.

OWB, about the 4 o'clock position, with the right-sized gun, a good gun belt, and the right size of clothing and you should be good to go if concealing it, even if it's a full sized weapon with a flashlight. Carrying off the body -- such as in a fanny pack or a shoulder bag -- isn't very smart, in my personal opinion. As to specific holster, a kydex holster with great retention and a covered trigger guard (none of my carry weapons have a safety, mainly because they get in the way and slow you down if you have to draw and target an assailant, so it's important that the trigger guard be covered) could work. There are about a million different holsters and holster makers out there. Mr. JSA mentioned Alien Gear, which is outstanding. Tulster is another quality kydex holster.

I don't like appendix carry, mostly for physical and tactical reasons. Sitting down, if you're trying to carry mid-size or full-size, can be a chore. Small of the back is a complete waste, if you ask me, for tactical reasons (if you're on your back it's going to be pretty difficult to draw). The gun holster is but one part of a multi-part equation, I'd say. Get all the parts to agree with each other and you'll have maximum carry/concealment and comfort snapped in.
