Where to find a decent selection of holsters in DFW ???
Looking for a IWB holster for a G19 or Commander.
Most of the gun shops I've been to all have the same garbage Uncle Mikes or a wad of holsters for revolvers.
Not really into plastic holsters, much prefer decent/good leather.
If anyone happens to have a Milt Sparks, Rosen or equivalent for the guns above, please let me know if you might be interested in selling it.
In the meantime, while I'm waiting for the DPS to send my plastic, I'm on the hunt for a temporary holster.
I know several folks recommend a Brigade or a Kirkpatrick, and they do look nice, but the wait on both of those is at least two months and most likely more. Milt Sparks and Mitch Rosen are running 6-8 months.
Just looking for a stable, comfortable holster. J hooks would be nice, but at this point, I'm looking for a holster that will get me by until one of the above comes available. Ideally something that'll work for 4 o'clock carry, and not too bulky/uncomfortable when sitting.
I've been to Cabela's and Sportsman's Warehouse and Academy and a couple of typical gun shops.
Any suggestions where to look ?
TIA

I am scared of empty guns and keep mine loaded at all times. The family knows the guns are loaded and treats them with respect. Loaded guns cause few accidents; empty guns kill people every year. -Elmer Keith. 1961

AKJ Concealco has what they call their ready line of holsters, which is available for the G19/23/32 as well as other models. They say they usually ship within 2 - 3 weeks, but it took closer to 5 weeks for mine. I love the holster, but some folks would rather see the holster in person before buying, and you can't do that over the internet.
Remember, in a life-or-death situation, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.

Dallas Public Safety Supply.
this is the place that supplies the DPD, so there's a lot of other neat stuff in there, and the time I was there, there were plenty of Fuzz in and out, and I, personally, had a great time talkin' with the Heat, the Proprieteers, and the Homeless Guy that kept dropping in.

I agree. I just ordered the Texas Strong Side last week. I received my Holster in 1 day.

One more place to check for you Austin area folks. GT Distributors is considered an LEO shop, but they are open to us regular folks as well. They are having a sale in a few weeks, but I'll probably be there later today to get a new belt.
