So, with wait times for a VM II approaching the time it takes to conceive and birth your very own child, I need a holster now to tide me over. I've been looking, reading, searching, all that fun stuff and I've narrowed it down to 2 choices. If anyone has another suggestion please speak up, my only requirements are that the holsters are leather, IWB, and available with little or no wait.
Option one:
Fist #20 (http://www.fist-inc.com/holsters/holster/20.htm)

Pros:
Offset belt loops
Adjustable
Available in Black
Cons:
Wait is about 6 weeks.
OR
MS Summer Special II (http://www.brownells.com/aspx/ns/store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=9922&title=SEMI-AUTO%20SUMMER%20SPECIAL%202)

Pros:
Its available now
reinforced mouth
Belt loops 1 1/5 inch (matches my belt width)
Its a Milt Sparks
Cons:
NOT available in black (but I can get black belt loops)
Location of belt looks may well make the holster less stable than the offset belt loop design.
Holster added:
TT GunLeather IWB (http://www.ttgunleather.com/catalog/i8.html)

Pros:
Offset belt loops
Available in Black
Reinforced opening
Cons:
4-6 week wait
The wait on these holsters isn't bad enough to really be considered a "con", except when compared to the fact that the SSII is available right now.
Your opinions and insight is much appreciated.
