The Holster Industry Makes Me Angry!

Is Kydex rough on the gun finish? It looks pretty abrasive.

Yes it is but ,if you carrying a "pretty" gun, stick with suede lined leather.Me,I don't care on my daily carry,they're "working guns" and I like Kydex.On a Glock,it scratches the black oxide but won't touch the Tennifer.

One reason that i have started trying to make my own.

There are lot's of plastic holsters for those that like them. I don't, but I'll admit I have a couple that I use until my high quality leather ones arrive. There are some good leather holster makers that can get you one in a month or so. If you like the looks of the pancake above you can get one from Simply Rugged. Very comfortable, heavy duty. A favorite of mine is Concealco and the expedited model usually gets here in a month or less. Quality is worth the wait.

I would like a crossbreed to try, but I have been very happy carrying in Don Hume for years. And quit griping about not getting anything instantly if you're right handed!

Best IWB holster on the market in my opinion. Nate is a former Marine who makes good stuff (and he stands behind his product).

I had a VM2, Crossbreed, and MTAC all at the same time. MTAC in my opinion is the best IWB holster.

Craftsmanship - VM2, MTAC, then Crossbreed
Comfort - MTAC, VM2, then Crossbreed
Re-holster ability - MTAC, Crossbreed, then VM2

All the good holsters are 6-8 weeks out! Eff THAT!!!

They have to kill the cow and tan the hide first.

Man, I wouldn't rule that out!

I prefer Milt Sparks to all the other brands mentioned but they have the same 6-8 problem.

That said, if you are using it for a 1911 or Glock, Brownells almost always has the Summer Special 2 in stock or if it's not in stock it will be soon.
