Max-Con V vs In Cognito?

So, I'm thinking about updating to a newer style holster and I've kinda narrowed it down to the Brommeland Max-Con V and the Garrity In Cognito IWB's. I'll be carring my Kimber Ultra CDP 2 in it. Any thoughts as to both of these holsters??? The cost doesen't matter as much as the comfort does. I also like the Sparks Versa Max 2 and Watchman 6 but I think I'm still leaning towards the first two choices.

Both are excellent choices as Gary and Mark are 1st class makers. While I don't own anything made by Mark I do have a MaxCon for my 1911 and it's a very comfortable holster similar to Sparks VMII. IMO, you can't go wrong with either.

Both are a excellent choice im carrying a MCV right now but i have had marks on order for awhile also for a different sized 1911 so eventually i will be able to tell you exactly to compare

I have the Max-Con V for my XD. It's a great holster, and I'm happy to have it. Only downside was the wait, took 4 3/4 months. But, that includes Gary's back injury. Things may me better now as far as wait times. There was a 4 month wait time posted prominently on the web page when I ordered mine, but it's not there now. I would email Gary and ask him what the current wait time is. The holster is certainly excellent. I have no experiencethe other holser

Well, I'll chime in here, not to plug my own stuff but to say if I wasn't making my own gear I'd probably be wearing a Max-Con V.
You can't go wrong with Gary's stuff, despite the wait.

I carry a Wilson cqb compact all day every day in a MC 5.

Comfort and concealment.

Perfection.

Man, I do NOT want to sound like this has degenerated into a "mutual admiration society", but the reverse is true here as well. I would have no trouble at all wearing an Incognito (probably because it is so similar to a MCV )

I have two MC-V's and love that holster, super comfortable and can wear it all day long no problem. I really wouldn't compare it to a VM-II though, the VM-II has the steel band at the mouth were as the MC-V does not and IMO without the steel band the MC-V is far more comortable IWB than anything else I've tried.

I do also have a pair of IN-COGNITOS on order but can't comment on the comfort level, but as was stated. These two makers are top of the line and I feel you can't go wrong with either of them.
