Brommeland's MaxCon V is hard to beat for all day comfort and stability. It's my first choice in leather.

ret,

I was wondering if you have any experience with the K8 adjustible cant & tuckable IWB holster?

http://www.fist-inc.com/holsters/k1/K8.htm

I am considering it for my XD9sc and possibly one for my G-23 as well.

Just wondering your opinion on that one, especially for the XDsc since it has such a short barrel. Worried about it rolling over the top of my belt.

Thanks!

I would also like to suggest something from K&D Holsters (http://kdholsters.com/). I have their Cochise Defender for my M&P compact and I love it!!

so is it worth the $125 for the tucker??? or i was looking at the summer comfort for $54.99 fro the M&P...any thoughts?
The Tucker is absolutely worth the bucks. I carry my 1911 in comfort all day every day. And it holds up over time.

so i see rom a bit more searching on here that there seem to be about 3 top dogs everyone recomends

k&d
Broom
&
Tucker

So who happens to have all 3????

if anyone does and can give a honest feedback about them. I like the $64 price pretty good. that is about what a Galco will run me, well i found it for $55, but whatever, either which way i do like the design of the "Super Tuck" someone, if you are out there, with all three please let me know waht you think about each one.

You might also consider Mark Garrity, he does some really impressive work too: http://www.garritysgunleather.com

Galco, Bianchi and the like will work for what they are and there's nothing really "wrong" with them but they're definitely not custom rigs. I also prefer being able to speak directly with the guys making my holster. The ability to get personal advice and custom features more than balances the slight increase in cost and delivery times.

very true maclean3.

I just got done talking to Nate at UGB, which crazy enough happens to be mine as well....anyway sounds like a good guy. I talked with him a bit and put in at least 1 order for now for my S&W 910, for the Striker. I am so excited as he said i might be actually receiving it by the 6 week mark. I am not going to get my hopes up like a little kid, but man I kinda want to.... I am also excited to maybe get another manufacturer's holster for my S&W M&P and see what some of the differences are.......hmmmmmm

I used a FIST K3 with my old Taurus PT111. Very comfortable. The kydex is paper-thin, which makes for a very slim overall concealment package.
