Jerry, there is no comparison. The Garrity absolutely puts the Kramer to shame and makes it look like junk placed side to side. Besides, this rig with the trim sells for less than the basic Kramer MSP!! I know where I'll be buying my paddle rig from here on out. I already ordered another for a Govt model and am considering one for a "J" frame. Lets look at a few things:
-fit, finish, boning: Garrity speaks for it's self
-The paddle: Marks' has an extremely comfortable suede lining, Kramer, just bare leather
-Ride and Cant: Garrity rides high& tight against my side as does the Kramer, cant adjustable on the Garrity, Kramer is not
-Price: The basic Garrity is either $90 or $110 considering the options and model (he has two), the Kramer is $165
-Delivery Time: OK, Kramer wins here but Mark has helped me out in the past when I needed a rig for a HK P7 and had it to me in two weeks. Hey, quality leather takes time.
Bottom line is the MSP looks like it came off a production line next to this. I have always been a propoent of the MSP but I never had the Garrity for comparison. The only other Paddle I own is a awesome one by Andy Artoonian of Horseshoe in England but he discontinued the model. Would I still buy an MSP if I needed one real quick and Mark couldn't come thru, maybe but I think at this point I'd sit back and be patient!!
