I have two. One is for a 1911 compact (cowhide with a moisture shield), and a horsehide for my Kahr P9.
The ExC is my favorite IWB holster. It stays open, and the skirt forms to the body preventing the muzzle end digging in, which is a characteristic of the average IWB holster.
I understand that it is also Tony Kanaley's favorite. I have never found the location of the snaps to cause bulk.
I would not get a IWB holster without the skirt whether it was the ExC or not. It just makes it much more comfortable.
I have one for my Glock 26. It is very comfortable but bulky. That is the fault of the gun (brick), not the holster. I ordered snap loops from a SS2, since I prefer 2 small loops & not 1 large loop. The extra leather at the bottom makes it very comfortable.
I carry a Browning Hi Power in an Executive Companion. Never liked it until I got the correct size belt loop from Sparks and it made a world of difference. The ability to change those loops is a nice advantage. The holster itself is quite comfortable even with this large pistol, and the workmanship is, of course, top notch.
With the number of high end IWB holsters out there, it's hard to say what my absolute favorite is, however what I can say with confidence is that the Milt Sparks Executive Companion is definitely one of my favorites. If not, at least my top 4 favorites!
I have an EC for my G19. Very nice holster, but definately get the sweat shield. I also have a FIST #20 for my Commander, and it rides nice too.
