Well, three week later - I did indeed order a Comp-Tac Ghurka, based largely on nitrogen's and longtooth's advice.

It is really nice - everything they said, and the turnaround time was amazingly fast. I called Tuesday, they shipped it Wednesday, and it was in my mailbox Thursday evening (i.e. yesterday) when I got home.

The holster is very nice, comfortable, and the ride height is perfect. The pistol sits high enough to grasp the grip properly right away, but low enough that the grip does not flop outward - it is held into my body very well.

The leather holster I used for the last (almost) two years is beautifully made, holds the pistol securely, but the belt loop placement makes the pistol ride high enough that once the leather started to soften a little, the grip was not held in close - showed a big bulge under my cover shirt when I moved. The Ghurka holds the pistol in tight to me so the bulge is gone.

I'm having a little problem adjusting the tension screws on the holster tight enough that the pistol would not bounce out if I jumped up and down or something like that - not that I jump up and down a lot, just want it a little more secure.

A phone call to Comp-Tac yielded advice on which screw to adjust first, and the promise that if I could not get it right, send it back and they would heat it and adjust, and turn it around the same day. I like it well enough (after wearing it less than 24 hours) that I don't want to send it back for adjustment!

Anyway - if you are thinking about a Comp-Tac holster, my experience is quite positive so far.

Now I need a better belt - time to look at Tucker's belts, and order one.

Regards,
Andrew

Nitrogen,

Thank you for your words about the Ghurka. I've been looking to replace my carry holster and looked at it - you may have pushed me over the edge.
