Thanks guys. I'll admit that I was leery at first about shelling out that much dough for a holster. Being a college student, every bit helps. In the end I didn't want to have to go through 3-4 different holsters before finding one that worked, and now I'm glad that I just sucked it up.
ExSoldier, I know what you mean about the overflap. When I first saw the holster I thought it was just added leather.....but Tucker makes a point to address this feature.
Straight from Tucker Gunleather.
What's the Overflap for?The overflap provides a way to combine the best of two kinds of holster construction - the pancake (beltslide) and the "wraparound" construction. You end up with a holster that stays open for easy reholstering and still rides like a pancake with leading and trailing belt loops. As a result, the HF series holsters ride securely with the butt of the gun pulled in close to your side.
The holster is highly concealable. The extra layer of leather does not add bulk, but the secure control of the gunbutt keeps printing to a minimum. The HF1 and HF2 are premium belt holsters with the ride, fit and finish professionals are looking for.
My 1911 did "stick" pretty good at first. But the more I draw it and reholster, the more my front site cuts its own groove into the leather, making drawing much smoother. One handed reholstering is not a problem at all as the holster stays open and does not collapse. Thanks for the tip on the leather lightning, it may be worth looking into!!
CHL class in two more weeks, then I still have to wait for the permit to arrive before I can start using some of this stuff. :smiley2:
I highly encourage any of you guys to check out their website. Tuckergunleather.com They've got some pretty cool stuff on there for all different models of handguns.
