Marshall,
Many of us have several drawers full of holsters, especially if we have several guns.
One reason that we have so many and have spent so much money is that we did not see any reason to spend the money on a Sparks, Del Fatti, or Brommeland holster. There are other top makers, but I just mentioned three.
Then as time went on we were not entirely satisfied with the holster we had. Sometimes we spent a little more money, but still did not get what we really wanted.
ADVICE. Don't skimp on your holster and belt. Spend a little time and find out how you want to carry it and look at the sites, call and talk to the maker, and get a first class rig. It will cost less than half a case of premium ammunition, and last a lifetime. If you can afford to practice, you can afford $75 - $100 for a top holster.
I might add that El Paso Saddlery makes some fine belts at less price than most others. I have a couple of them and they are first class.
I have on order one from Rafter S, and it appears that they may just be the best buy on the market. I'll comment when I get mine.
A double thickness belt is a necessary part of a good carry system.
If you ever think kydex then Comp Tac makes as good as the best and better than the rest.
I have holsters by Hume, Galco, DeSantis, Uncle Mike, and some others I don't remember. They will all work, but until I got one from Sparks, I did not really know what a good holster was, and what a pleasure to own "the best." I have one on order, the I-BAK, and it is about twice the price of a Hume, and maybe less. so for another $30 I got what I wanted.
FWIW.
Jerry
