Comp-tac Infidel

ront · March 8th, 2007, 07:22 PM

A couple of weeks back I traded my Glock G27 in on a new S&W M&P .40 compact. I love the gun. But I suddenly did not have a good holster anymore. Well, I quickly ordered a Cochise Defender form K&D Holsters. Unfortunately, quick plays no part in how soon I receive the holster. That is just fine with me though because I know that when it arrives, I will have what I feel is the nicest holster that my money can buy. I can hardly wait until it arrives!!
Anyway, back to the point of this post. I also ordered on Friday an Infidel from Comp-tac. It arrived the following Wednesday. I have had a couple of their holsters in the past and feel that in the Kydex arena, they are some of the best. I looked at both the Infidel and the CTAC. The CTAC is a very nice holster but it is also very similar in design to the leather holster I am getting from K&D. So I went with the Infidel, set up in the Gurkha configuration. With this set up, I have a very comfortable solid holster that is also very stable. I can remove the back strut and have just the holster also. There are other attachments that you can buy to set it up differently also. It is a very versatile holster.
Here are a couple of pics. Sorry, there are not any with the gun as the gun at work is kind of frowned on. Maybe I can add some with the gun later.

Nice.
My friend and co-worker (and member of this board as well) Cubsmurf just showed me his Infidel tonight at work. He is quite happy with his and I am now considering ordering one.

I carry my XD45C in an Infidel and love it. I like it better then the CTAC.

Landor,

I just got my CTAC and am happy with it. What do you like more about the Infidel? I picked the CTAC because the clips are further apart for a stable platform. I thought that having the clip directly on the holster might make it a little thicker, whereas having the front clip forward of the holster aids in concealment.

Please tell me if I am wrong, as I have never examined an Infidel in person.

NY27,

NY27,

The clips are further apart on a CTAC and that's what I like about the infidel. It is just as stable and since the clip is on the holster it does not get in the way of my front pocket and when I wear my cover shirt un buttoned the clip is not so close to the open shirt. Being the clip is on the holster it does make it thicker but not that much as far as concealment goes. I wear mine at about 3:30 on my right side so you can imagine where the front clip will be on a CTAC.

I cut the sweat shield off of all my holsters. They just poke me in the ribs..

Nice Ront !. Did you add the sweat shield to the Cohise Defender ??

I've found that to be a very nice feature on my IWB holsters. Keeps the slide from poking me.
