so, i'm after a holster for my sa mil-spec 45. i think i want to try a IWB holster. of the available IWB's available from Milt Sparks, these 3 all have great descriptions, but i dont know which is the best of the 3.

EX, SS-2, or VM-2

any opinions, testimony ??

thanks

Personally I'd go with the VM-II... actually I already have!

I have one for every gun I carry! Springfield Champion, SIG P-226R, Glock 23, Glock 27 and the list goes on!

There's a lot of choices out there to be sure, for me this is the ONLY IWB holster I will ever use! (I'm kinda funny that way!)

1911's have such a slim profile that they are very comfortable IWB,
I like the VM2 from MS, I think it is a great design.

If you don't like it (not likely) I'll buy it from you!
Of course, that'll mean I'd need to buy a new gun to go in it... but that's okay!

Wouldn't go for any of the above choices. If want Milt Sparks, get the Watch 6.

1911_Kid

but even MS says its their low end model:

"the WS-1 is NOT, nor was it ever meant to be the benchmark of Milt Sparks quality! The Watch Six (WS-1) was originally conceived as an economical and less labor intensive alternative to the rest of our more expensive, premium line of IWB holsters."

JimmyC4

You left the best choice off of your short list, the Watch Six. As slimjim does, I vote for the Watch Six.

It is very similar to the Versa Max, with one major difference--the Watch Six does NOT have the reinforced mouth as does the VM. This means it's thinner and easier to conceal. On the downside, if re-holstering is important to you (it's not to me), the reinforced mouth of the VM is a better choice.

I've searched for the perfect IWB holster, and the Watch Six is the one I think is great.

Since it takes a 4-5 month wait to get a new holster from Milt Sparks, if you get it and don't like it, you can easily sell it for what you have in it, since folks are looking to avoid that long wait.

Good luck.

anything at this point is better than having nothing. i just called them, Scott said up to 8 months to get one !! ouch. thats longer than i had to wait just to get my CCW permit.

Might give Lightning Arms Sports a shout. They often have Milt Sparks in stock. It will be some money higher to get it from them (that's their business), but you'll have it in 3 days.
I got one of my Milt Sparks holsters from them as I needed it faster than Tony could make it.
These days I usually always have one holster on order for something I have. If I don't like it when it arrives, I can easily sell it as JimmyC said.
