In my excitement I forgot to mention - fasted one handed draw I've ever experianced myself performing. Scary fast! And this with only a few hours of practice.

I have been using their Minotaur Gladiator Holster. I far as I am concerned it as just as good as my Del Fatti. The Minotaur Gladiator is OWB easy on and off. It does not have the "top flop" like so many holsters have.

New holster update: First of all I'd like to clarify my self imposed title "the fat one". I'm not fat all around, just the gut area.
"Lite" beer my rear end! (and gut). I'm 5'6 and with boots, 3 pistols, and gear weigh in at (OMG) 165. My new holster is still great, but after the first full day of wear I found the Kydex was leaving some nasty welts on my hip. At first I thought I was going to have to start the quest over again, noticed some of the other posters had kydex holsters with leather backing. Once again, my better half had an economical, simply solution. At first I thought she was telling me to just shut up already - I thought she said "put a sock in it", but actually she said "put a sock ON it". And sure enough, a thick doubled up cotton sock slipped over the holster (up to the belt clip) provided all the padding needed to make it comfortable! It's been a week now, no problems. Hope this might help some of you out there.

The Minotaur's major selling point to me is that you DON'T have to buy a new holster with a new gun. The Minotaur uses interchangeable kydex "bodies". The bodies are considerably less expensive and you don't have to spend time breaking in the leather portion all over.

My experience with the holster is that it becomes easier to reholster when the holster is more broken in.

The holster worn at side positions the butt of the gun very close to the body.

I mentioned here that the reason I chose to invest in the Minotaur was the fact that it could use interchangeable holster bodies to fit different handguns.

Initially I ordered mine for the Glock 21 SF with the Picatinny rails. At the same time, though, I ordered a spare body for the Glock 22.

I did the Wally Walk with this holster and the G 21 SF but after putting up with pocket carry on a daily basis I decided to try out the somewhat smaller holster body and weapon.

The change takes only a few minutes. You back out 4 Allen headed screws with the wrench that Comp-Tac sends to you with the holster. You have to finagle the old holster body out of the leather and then reverse the process to stick the new one in. It's not hard. It's important to get the bolsters with the screws. One of these stuck to the original holster body and needed a knife blade to nudge it loose.

Initially it felt like the G 22 stuck out pretty much like I felt the 21 had. I had worn the holster as it arrived from Comp-Tac, which is to say the clips were attached by their middle hole. Another few minutes and I had lowered the screw to the bottom hole, lowering how the holster sits on the clips.

Major impact on how the pistol rides. It snugs in to my side in a way it didn't just minutes before. This is a full sized service pistol and it's practically melting into my 'love handles'. I don't seem to lose any significant presentation speed (as slow as I am that's hard to make slower).

Not sure if I should put an investment into a G 23 holster body or just pop the compact pistol into the longer body at this point.

Now if I could get a magazine carrier that was as discreet.
