I appreciate the offer, but I have to wear IWB and sometimes tuckable b/c of work environment.

No problem....I tried.

Thanks!

What do you all do while you wait for your holsters to be manufactured? With 14 to 20 weeks wait time, I'm sure y'all don't just not carry.

I ordered a Supertuck a while back, but I just couldn't make it work for me. I'm 5'10", 210lbs and carry at around 3:30 or 4:00.

Thanks for the advice!

Usually I have my holster before my gun arrives though.

The first place I look is the Classified sections of various Forums. I'll check here, THR, Glocktalk and the 1911Forum. If I strike out there, I'll either hunt down a Galco or Bianchi for temporary use or go all out and buy a quality holster from Lightning Arms. They carry Sparks, Alessi, some Del Fatti and even Galco.

Actually, I usually call Lightning Arms before I order directly from the maker unless I'm specifically looking for something that they don't carry.

CTAC, I used it while waiting for the Max-Con that just came in. I still will use it when i need a tuckable holster.

I would go with a CompTac - I like the MTAC. They are quick, under two weeks and have superb customer service. I did this while waiting on a Milt Sparks for my 1911.

K&D Thunderbird on order, Don Hume Cheapo for now ( house carry only.. Permit Class is tommorow! )

mslaughtertx · September 12th, 2008, 07:25 PM

I use a Don Hume OWB while I wait or go with a Blackhawk Serpa.

Nothing beats a quality holster, but just get a cheap nylon from a gun shop while you wait...then you'll understand the reason for a good holster...it will make you a believer.

Stay armed...use good leather...stay safe!

Ditto on the MTAC, and they're pretty doggone quick. I've been trying to talk myself into ordering a VM2, but wanted something now that would be comfortable, tuckable, and quick. Ordered the MTAC on Monday, was initially told it had a 10-day production time, but it shipped in 2 days and arrived today (Friday). Haven't tried it on yet, but after all I've read I'm sure I'll be pleased with it.
