IWB holster recommendations

ashylarry · 05-25-2008

Well I still have some time before my I get my ccw but I would like to get some recommendations on what IWB holsters you guys use. I have heard a lot of good things about the comp-tac minotaur, infidel and the crossbreed.

If I am going to spend $80 on a holster I just want to get something that will feel right and last. So what do you guys have or recommend?

Thanks
Nick

I've been using a couple IWB holsters lately. For my Glocks I like the CTAC. The kydex is nice and thin and doesn't add too much more bulk to the pistol. The only downside is that it's a but rough if it's right against your skin.
For my 1911s I'm using a Galco Royal Guard. It's a nice holster and does a good job, however, if I had my choice I'd rather have a Sparks VMII or a Rosen ARG. Both very well made leather but a bit expensive with a bit of a wait if you need to order from the factory.

This is a for a 4" barreled XD9, btw.

I'm using a clip on style from Leather Holsters for Springfield XD, Glock, 1911, M&P, Beretta, Ruger, Sig, Taurus, Kahr,
It hides my XD9SC very well and is very comfortable.

My most used IWB rigs are the Milt Sparks 'Summer Special', 'VM-II' also by Milt Sparks and 'NSA' by Wild Bill's Leather. All of them are very comfortable, hold your weapon securely yet allow for a smooth, natural draw and give very discrete concealment even under light clothing.

The Wild Bill's rig was a very good bargain, IMO. Combo of holster, single mag pouch and double-layer belt for $125.

I use Milt Sparks' Executive Companion in horsehide. I had it dyed black for enhance tacticalness.

Forget $80. "Mr. Softy" High Noon Holsters. $25 and works as well as any $80 IWB I've come across.
