[QUOTE="TallPrairie, post: 2453744, member: 7815"] They are really, really good holsters. I find the Summer Special 2 incredibly comfortable and easy to dress around. The Versa Max 2 gives slightly better concealment (the straps are offset from the bulge of the gun) at the cost of being bulkier and a little harder to put on / take off. But once it is on, the VM2 is also very comfortable. Kydex is cool for open carry, OWB, competition, etc., but I am sold on quality leather holsters for IWB concealed carry. If you want to look beyond Milt Sparks, I would recommend the Ritchie holsters (ex-Lou Alessi employees). The Ritchie Stakeout is a leather IWB comparable in design and quality to a Summer Special 2. Ritchie also makes an equivalent to the VM2 whose name I forget. Their holsters actually cost more than a Sparks! But if you want anything other than a Glock, SIG, or 1911 holster, you'll have to place a custom order with Milt Sparks, and this has a wait time of about 6 months. Ritchie will make you a holster much quicker than that -- so if you tote an M&P, XD, Kahr, etc., the higher price may be worth it to you to avoid the wait for a made-to-order Sparks. (If you [U]do[/U] carry a Glock/SIG/1911, you are in luck. You can buy a Milt Sparks Summer Special 2 for your gun "off the rack" from Brownells, right now, for normal retail of $99.99. Sweet option. I would seriously consider going that way.) [/QUOTE]
