There are a number of good one out there and Milt Sparks is one of them. If you want you can go over to the Pistolsmth site and they have a discussion on the subject of leather and I know you will get good information there.

Tscotto;

I've been carrying in a Milt Sparks Exec's companion for years.  It's comfortable & effective.  I bought the holster & belt as a pair.   It's been money very well spent IMHO.

I've found this to be the most comfortable holster I've ever used.  I like it well enough for my Commander, I've ordered another for an XD.  I considered the price of the belt rediculious, but after talking with a few folks that had them, I found myself in a weak moment and bought one of the contour belts,  worth every penny.

Thanks for the replies. I was looking at an IWB and an outside holster.
60TK for the outside and either the executive or vm2 for IWB.

I carry my full size 1911 in a Milt Sparks VM2. It's a great holster, expensive (at least to me), but worth my money.

I had a harder time choosing my holster, than I did my pistol :-D

Hope you're happy with whatever you get.

I decided on the VM2 as well. MS lead time on leather is pretty long. I hope to receive the holster with in the next few weeks. I went a head and ordered the belt. I ordered the belt an inch longer to the center hole. I sure hope the thing isn't too long.

Take Care,

I ordered my Milt Sparks stuff from
http://www.lightningarms.com/, and had it in 2 days time. You might check with then if you really need your stuff now. Great folks, fast and friendly.

I have a Milt Sparks Summer Special for my G17.  Most comfortable holster I have and wear it every day when off duty.  It is very comfortable with a full size gun, doesn't pinch or bind...just sits there day after day.  I have the horse hide holster, so there is a little drag coming out, but I find that very comforting as the gun NEVER slips.   I practice with it all the time, so clearing leather quickly is not an issue.

I also have a COMP-TAC holster...it hasn't moved from my drawer since I bought the Milt Sparks.  Hmmm...

Take a look at ebay and the other sites noted above.

Thanks
Bob

Sold my last Milt Sparks and going to his shop next week to order my next holster for my new Para-Ordnance. Haven't decided which model yet.

Love their work!.

My Milt Sparks rig came in a week or so ago. I went with a shark skin belt and vm2 with shark skin in black. I couldn’t be more pleased. The quality is outstanding.

Take Care,
Scott
