So, I've had my CCW license for two weeks. Carried every day, all day.
I've been carrying a S&W Model 19 with 2 1/2" barrel in a Blackhawk! 00 in the waistband holster. This model has no retention strap. The instruction sheet that comes with the holster talks about the strap, and the packaging says nothing about this lack. I called their customer service, and was told that there's two models.
Unless I place the gun just so on my right hip, it has a tendency to ride up out of the holster. If I get it in exactly the proper position, all is well. It conceals well when set right, but is too easy to get wrong. It's pretty comfortable, but I definitely would get the model with the strap.
I'm going to find a similar holster for my Glock 19, with a retention strap, and see if that works better. The Glock is thinner than the Smith.
I still want to find a proper shoulder holster. I think that will work out better than the IWB if I want to ride my bike when the weather gets nicer.
