Is a Milt Sparks Versamax II
I can carry a G30 in one all day long ;D
A fine leather holster can be a CHP'rs best friend.
-
ill jump in....
my LCR: DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster that came with it.
my M&P40: Raven concealment Phantom
i need to look for a leather holster perhaps.
-
Mine is from Matt @ Midwest Leather. Excellent quality.
-
fav for me has been a little universal that i bought from DE Guns here in lincoln. tried a buddies .45 in it, fits like a glove, and i bought it with the intention of my little .380 compact that has a new home with a forum member here.
-
I also have a VMII clone for my G26.
It was custom made for me by a member here, but I just haven't really broken it in yet, as it is a backup rig

Versamax II is a great holster, I'm working on my version of it right now, minus the metal reinforcement.
-
I have a Blackhawk Serpa and a Comp-Tac CTAC Holster IWB. Both work well with my Beretta 92fs. I use a Fobus dual mag paddle.
-
I prefer the Kydex....
Alabama Holster - IWB - "The Hooker"
Carried the Sidearmor IWB for years as well. Both excellent quality holsters with excellent retention..
And can go in the dishwasher with my Glock :-)
-
Milt Sparks Summer Special II for my commander sized Dan Wesson 1911
-
Crossbreed SuperTuck for concealing my XDm9 and Blackhawk Serpa for range days

Everything I regularly CC rides in it's own Kholster. I am currently at three. (pretty sure the S&W 28 wouldn't conceal very well especially I(my)WB) A leather/ kydex hybrid tuckable holster made just across the line in Missouri by Jimmy as a side business. The quality is comparable to most I have seen and at around half the price, especially during special sales. (for some specials, part of the proceeds are donated to worthy causes) Once you dial in the cant and height (almost endless adjustment) the comfort is such that I have had to "hipcheck" myself to be certain I was carrying.
-
+1 for Kydex. A few years ago, I picked up one of the Raven Concealment holsters after shooting with a buddy who had one. It's more comfortable than any others I've worn and just fits right. It's modular with kydex loops that attach for OWB that can be swapped with flexible loops that attach for IWB.
-
I like the kydex/leather hybrids too. I have a couple of Kholsters that are very nice. I also have a cheap Uncle Mike's kydex OWB holster for my M&P that actually works very well.
-
I hate Kydex and metal belt loops

That's just because your....ummm.... Not young and hip anymore? :P :P
j/k to each their own, ya know. 8)

Not that I am young and hip...BUT, If you actually wear a holster with metal or stiff kydex clips very long, it will destroy your shirts, your expensive gun belt, scratch you car and furniture, make clunky noises when sitting in hard chairs and the kydex clips tend to break at the very worst time imaginable.
Not to mention that they hide poorly and when wearing a tucked shirt anyone can see the the strange clips on your belt are not normal, despite the fact that they may not know what they are for

I tried to like the kydex/leather hybrids and they were comfortable, but I had one heck of a time trying to get it in my pants without great effort.
My VMII's are easy on easy off. Just need to loosen the belt to put on.
Another complaint...Kydex holster are too noisy if stealth is required on the draw
-
My biggest complaint with IWB leather holsters is that I can't reholster with just one hand. I loved my Galco Skyops for concealability. A G23 can disappear under a tshirt, but it would require violating Safety Rule #2 to reholster after drawing.
-
The VMII has a metal reinforced mouth that does not collapse when the gun is removed.
-
Ditto on VM II, Summer Special, Alabama Hooker, and one of my new favs for the "G"s is Safariland's 18-83 IWB. So many decisions.......
DanW...out of curiosity can you pose a scenario in which one would go "stealth" as a CHP holder?

I'm sure I could , but I won't here.
ETA ...Von Maur comes to mind

I normally carry a USP9. In the winter I like the Blackhawk Serpa when there is a coat to cover it. Recently I was carrying the same defensive sidearm in a Crossbreed. A bunch of us hit some black ice 20 miles east of Grand Island. A commercial van left the west bound lane into the median went airborne, landed on its roof and flopped over on the driver side after sliding up to the edge of the east bound lane. Not really paying attention I fell on the ice on my way to the van. As it turned out the driver as OK just trapped inside and could not get any of the jammed doors open. Slipping and busting my bum, climbing up on top of the van etc. The sidearm never got in the way of my activates and it was just where I had put it when we left home that morning.
-
For my S&W 500, the Terminator by Desantis.
Kimber .45, Galco pancake.
S&W 340SC, Desantis ankle holster, or Galco paddle.
For what it's worth, Midwest Leather holsters look every bit as high quality as my Galco or Desantis holster (only seen in photos).
-
VMII or Summer Special depending on my mood. I like them both.
-
For concealed carry, I like the Galco N3 for my hi-power. For open carry at the range, see MLW's website. The avenger he made me is on his site.
