First rate, in both regards.

I have two if his Def-Con holsters. They are the best in my inventory, and I have some by top makers.
He may just be the best of the best, but I am not sure if you can get one directly from him. In the past he has made promises of delivery that were not even close to the actual time.

Coal Creek Armory sells his holsters. As much as I like them I consider Sparks a much better value considering, cost, lead time, and accuracy of stated delivery dates.

Regards,
Jerry

Since you mentioned Sparks, how do the Brommeland holsters compare to Sparks in quality and function?

Coal Creek Armory

I just tried to call Coal Creek Armory and the phone number listed on their web site has been disconnected. Have they gone out of business?

I think Sparks holsters are essentially equal in quality and function. The Brommeland Def-Con is my favorite OWB partially because it has a body guard, and I prefer the overall design. However, if I were to buy an OWB holster now it would be Sparks for similar quality, less price, and reasonable delivery times over the Brommeland.

I have Sparks I-BAK and Axiom. Next to the Def-Con I like the Sparks I-Bak best of the OWB holsters I have seen or used. Neither the I-BAK nor the Axiom have a body/shirt guard. If you want snaps the Axiom is an excellent holster. It's a toss up.
I prefer low ride holsters over high ride as it is easier to draw from under a shirt worn outside the pants, at least it is for me. I usually wear reasonably long tail shirts, and have had no issue of the OWB holster being exposed.

Best,
Jerry
