Alessi and Sparks. Occasionally, a Safariland 560.
I have an Alessi for my BHP and Colt Gov't .380 those and the guns I carry most.

My wife carries her Mustang in an Alessi APX or Alessi Pocket holster.

My 1911's share a Sparks SS2.
 
Milt Sparks 60TK holster for Kimber Custom CDP,
or HBE Pancake holster for Colt Defender,
or HBE Pancake holster for CZ P-01

I only use leather belt holsters these days. I know many people love IWB holsters, but they just don't work for me.
 
I wear an Andrews Custom Leather holster. I bought the Hybrid Saddle Style without the thumbreak (and a matching double mag carrier). Exceptional craftsmanship, excellent design. This model is not a pancake holster. The seams are offset so that when the holster is under the tension of the belt, it doesn't squeeze the gun making it difficult to draw.

His catalog of holsters, pouches, belts, and other accessories is impressive, containing some innovative setups. He does Cowboy rigs as well as custom work. The guy is absolute hoot to talk to on the phone. Great customer service. He hand makes the products himself, but the wait is more than worth it.

Andrews Custom Leather
 
High Noon Speedy Spanky and UBG Canute, most often. I do have a couple of Don Humes a Fobus, and a Desantis, but don't carry what they fit nearly as often.
 
I use an Uncle Miles inside the pocket holster for my Bersa Thunder .380. I have fancier guns and fancier holsters for IDPA use.

Mostly Kramer and Sparks, but I use other commercial ones if they suit me for a particular mode of carry or gun. I must admit, crossdraws work very well for me for CCW.
 
I voted Galco 'cuz that's what they had when I got the RAMI. That said, I like the Crossbreed look. Both IWB & OWB.Also like HighNoon. Looks like I'm going to be spending some money:uhoh::D
 
I fell into the 'other' category too. (If you tried to list them all the poll would run to 3 pages) I did carry a G27 in a Uncle Mikes belt slide for several years with no trouble but it's starting to wear. I went back to a Gould & Goodrich 3 slot pancake holster that I bought for its big brother G22.
