They do make a nice conceal holster and I have their little pack with the shoulder strap that makes it fairly inconspicuous to carry something a little bigger. I'm also a big fan of the Crossbreed holsters like the super tuck.
Pack with the should strap? Could you send a link or a pic? I'm not seeing it on their website. I have a super tuck as well as a few alien gears also.
My bad, I thought the pack was them but it’s on your 6:

Do yourself a favor and get some hydra-shoks or some Cor-bons.

Forego both of those 1980's tech bullets (unless Corbon Barnes XPB loaded ammo- none of their other ammo is all that great) and get a modern day bullet that consistently performs in properly calibrated FBI gelatin tests and real world shoots. What LE agencies utilize.
Service Pistol Duty and Self-Defense Loads
When comparing well designed duty handgun ammunition, there are minimal differences in penetration depths and temporary cavity effects, as noted in the gel shots conducted by Doug Carr.
As you increase bullet size and mass from 9 mm/357 Sig, to .40 S&W, to .45 ACP, more tissue is crushed, resulting in a larger permanent cavity. In addition, the larger bullets often offer better performance through intermediate barriers. For some, the incremental advantages of the larger calibers are offset by weapon platform characteristics. As is quite obvious from the photo above, NONE of the common service pistol calibers generate temporary cavities of sufficient magnitude to cause significant tissue damage. Anyone interested in this topic should read and periodically re-read, “Handgun Wounding Factors and Effectiveness” by Urey Patrick of the FBI FTU, as this remains the single best discussion of the wound ballistic requirements of handguns used for self-defense -- it is available at: http://www.firearmstactical.com/hwfe.htm .
Keeping in mind that handguns generally offer poor incapacitation potential, bullets with effective terminal performance are available in all of the most commonly used duty pistol calibers—pick the one that you shoot most accurately, that is most reliable in the type of pistol you choose, and best suits your likely engagement scenarios.
The following loads all demonstrate outstanding terminal performance and can be considered acceptable for duty/self-defense use:
9 mm:
Barnes XPB 105 & 115 gr JHP (copper bullet)
Federal Tactical 124 gr JHP (LE9T1)
Speer Gold Dot 124 gr +P JHP
Winchester Ranger-T 124 gr +P JHP (RA9124TP)
Winchester Partition Gold 124 gr JHP (RA91P)
Winchester Ranger-T 127 gr +P+ JHP (RA9TA)
Federal Tactical 135 gr +P JHP (LE9T5)
Federal HST 147 gr JHP (P9HST2)
Remington Golden Saber 147 gr JHP (GS9MMC)
Speer Gold Dot 147 gr JHP
Winchester Ranger-T 147 gr JHP (RA9T)
Winchester 147 gr bonded JHP (RA9B/Q4364)
.40 S&W:
Barnes XPB 140 & 155 gr JHP (copper bullet)
Speer Gold Dot 155 gr JHP
Federal Tactical 165 gr JHP (LE40T3)
Winchester Ranger-T 165 gr JHP (RA40TA)
Winchester Partition Gold 165 gr JHP (RA401P)
Federal HST 180 gr JHP (P40HST1)
Federal Tactical 180 gr JHP (LE40T1)
Remington Golden Saber 180 gr JHP (GS40SWB)
Speer Gold Dot 180 gr JHP
Winchester Ranger-T 180 gr JHP (RA40T)
Winchester 180 gr bonded JHP (RA40B/Q4355/S40SWPDB1)
.45 ACP:
Barnes XPB 160 & 185 gr JHP (copper bullet)
Federal HST 230 gr JHP (P45HST2)
Federal HST 230 gr +P JHP (P45HST1)
Federal Tactical 230 gr JHP (LE45T1)
Speer Gold Dot 230 gr JHP
Speer Gold Dot 230 gr +P JHP
Winchester Ranger-T 230 gr JHP (RA45T)
Winchester Ranger-T 230 gr +P JHP (RA45TP)
Notes:
-- Obviously, clone loads using the same bullet at the same velocity work equally well (ie. Black Hills ammo using Gold Dot bullets, Corbon loads using Barnes XPB bullets, etc…)
I much prefer .45 ACP to 9mm but I have done quite a bit of testing ballistics gelatin and the gun, barrel length, etc. have as much to do with it after you cross a certain threshold. If I could find a decent .45 smaller than my H&K 45C I'd carry it and please don't tell me I should get a shield. The Corbon 45 Auto+P 165 gr is downright awesome and my guess is that it will outperform everything on your list in .45.

.40 Smith & Wesson M&P shield. Shield because I have middle school girl hands. If I had it to do over again I would have bought the 9mm buts still a great carry.
I highlighted the engraving in Harley Davidson Birch White. Not th best picture but I took this picture after I did the highlighting and was trying to show it off.

glock 23 or sw 340pd in 38+p, it’ll shoot .357 but feels like someone is taking a sledgehammer to your hand

If I'm around town, my Wilson Combat.
If I'm on my land or in my truck? AR PDW.

years later, i still prefer to carry a 1911 gov't model.
i picked up an sr9, but i don't love it. already had multiple ejection failures with fewer than 100 rds. spent case gets caught in the ejection port.
i've put thousands of rounds through the 1911; not a single instance of failure to return to battery, or any other issue. i have discovered that i am much more accurate using my non- dominant hand, perhaps because of eye dominance. whatever, practice is enjoyable.
