What is the best 1911 holster you guys know of? Most comfortable and able to distribute all that weight the best.
The SERPA is not a concealment holster. It's not a very good range/training holster either.Anyone have experience with the blackhawk serpa.
Normally, I'd agree with Milt Sparks, but the waiting list is 4 months out.\
For clarity, I'm pretty sure Comp-Tac uses a thicker kydex OWB than Blade-Tech uses. Comp-Tac uses .125" kydex for their OWB holsters. I think Blade-Tech is using .090" kydex for their OWB holsters.I also like Blade Tec holsters, they use a grade of kydex that is thicker than anything I've ever seen. I'd consider them if you want to carry OWB.
I didn't know about Milt Sparks availability, so that is good.You can get a VM II as fast as it takes the UPS or FedEx guy to get to your house. http://www.topgunsupply.com/vm2-black-r-hand-1-1-2-belt-loops-5-1911.html
If you'd rather have a Summer Special II, you can have that just as fast. http://www.brownells.com/shooting-a...ters/semi-auto-summer-special-2-prod9922.aspx

At the risk of being called a Milt Sparks homer, and I don't even own a Sparks holster, their lead times are probably shorter now than they've been at any time in the past five years. You can certainly get a Comp-Tac faster than you can get a Sparks holster, but Sparks lead times have been reduced quite a bit in the past year or so.I'm fond of Milt Sparks work but as noted their lead time has gotten long.
I can't find it listed for the basic Blade-Tech OWB, but their Eclipse model uses .080 kydex.But what I said about holsters, I own at least one of everything I've commented about.
