Re: holster advice
If you are going to be carrying concealed, I would pony up the money for a Comp-Tac M-TAC holster:

This is the holster I use, and it is extremely comfortable. I have no problem carrying all day (G-19, 1911). Its also modular, so if you change carry guns you can simply order a new kydex body and screw it on. It is a little pricey, but you will spend less money in the long run than if you were to buy cheap, chinzy holsters that do not work as well.

Re: holster advice
Crossbreed Supertuck all the way. I just finished ordering my second one this morning for my 1911. It's the most comfy holster I've ever worn.

I use the MTAC for my Beretta M9, Glock 22, and Springfield XD45 Service model. Very good product!lj bluesboy wrote:If you are going to be carrying concealed, I would pony up the money for a Comp-Tac M-TAC holster:

Re: holster advice
I ditto this heavily. DO NOT go cheap on a holster that will carry a gun that large. I have a Fobus paddle for my Kimber Ultra carry and it is a cheap as they come. I wear it occasionally around the house but never out in public. The MTAC is a fantastic holster and will serve you well.lj bluesboy wrote:If you are going to be carrying concealed, I would pony up the money for a Comp-Tac M-TAC holster:

Re: holster advice
Did some one say "looking for holster". Check my Signature line for my MTAC review. It has help quite a few people make up thier mind.
