Best IWB Holster for CCW Range Practice

jsmosby · January 24th, 2008, 01:20 AM

I have a Ruger SP-101 3" for CCW.

What do you think is the best IWB holster for a great deal of CCW range practice (drawing and firing, over and over again)? I am looking for a holster that is comfortable and concealable, but easy to reholster.

I once had a Bianchi IWB synthetic holster that was fine for concealment and drawing, but when it came to reholstering a PPK, I had great difficulty because the holster would collapse like a pancake (unreinforced mouth).

I would like to hear your suggestions.

Comp-Tac CTAC

Very fast to draw and reholster.

Yup, kydex from comp-tac or blade-tech would probably work best. A reinforced mouth on the holster like a sparks VMII or summer special will work too.

Didn't I already answer this, or was it in another forum?

Milt Sparks Summer Special II with a Milt Sparks or a Bruce Gibson Belt. I draw repeatedly from my holster at the range, twice monthly. I find the SSII to be purrfectomundo!

Yes, BikerRN, you did answer it in another forum. And thank you very much for your answer.

I will usually post an issue that I consider to be an important across two or three different forums in order to get a good cross-section of expert opinion.

I'm new to this game but I would think the best holster to practice from would be the one you're using to carry on a daily basis.

I'm with you chevy...practice with what you'll carry. The gamers can do all the phony kydex they want, but ask them if that's what they want to carry daily!

I am far from being an expert.

I am merely a student of the gun and blade.

Not practicing with your EDC is a bad idea.

Sparks VM2. It won't collapse.
