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.

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. Ti.

Hey guys thanks for the info. These 2 holsters are so much alike there prolly isn't that much difference. Just have to decide which one!
Wow, you can feel the love in this thread! Gary and Mark, the holster foo is strong with the both of you! Great items.... |
