That's great, David, sometimes it takes a while to find what will work for you. I guess we all have a draw full of holsters. I had to learn the hard way and when I finally broke down and bought a quality holster and belt, it was all the difference in the world. I really like my Galco Sportsman 1.5 belt. It really did make a difference in comfort.

Good luck, my friend, I hope you find just what you are needing.

It looks like my Milt Sparks Summer Special. I wasn't cheep either, but I sure does work like it is supposed to. Easy to carry, draw and re holster, all with one hand! I think you are going to really like your new holster. All you need now is a Galco 1.5 Sport Belt...you will be surprised at the difference.

Good Luck!

Not if you have a good one. I have the Crossbreed Super Tuck and because of the same concerns that you have was exactly why I went back to my Milt Sparks Summer Special. It is all leather and is very easy to carry in and you can draw and reholster without any problems it is just not tuckable and you have to adjust your wardrobe as needed.

Back to the Super Tuck I don't know if it will mar the finish on your pistol or not, but it just bother me to the point that I went back to all leather. I know many people use them and are very satisfied with them, so I am not knocking the holster.

That is very interesting. When I first heard you talking about a messenger bag that was what I had pictured in my mind was a guy on a bicycle delivering something. I have seen this in New York and places like that. But, I wasn't sure that was what you were talking about. They look like they would work real well and I do like them better than the fanny pack. I did search them and found many, but I like the one you have. I think the messenger bag is something worth looking into. Thanks, again Mr. 72.

Edit: They have some really nice things on that Wilson Leather site.

I am a collector of such bags, here are some pics:

Or just google "messenger bag" and you'll get millions of hits.

The one I carry most is one I got from Wilson's Leather Outlet.

Oh, yeah...I've seen those I just didn't know what you call them. Thanks, Mr. 72!

This thread is crazy!

But, hey ya'll, I have a question... what is a "messenger bag?" Please don't laugh at me, but I really have no idea what a messenger bag is.

There are many forum members that attend church, not to mention there are many Pastors here also that carry at church all the time.
Here is a thread where chruch carry is discussed: http://www.texasshooting.com/TexasCHL_F ... 80885d75d7

I finally broke down and bought a good belt. A Galco 1.50" Sport Belt and it made all the difference in the world.....like night and day!

I use it with a Milt Sparks Summer Special 2 holster and haven't had any trouble....of course, I haven't done any real world carrying, yet. I'm still "processing."
