Wow, just wow! Milt Sparks holster

[jamz]

Is the VM2 the only Milt Sparks "tuckable" holster?

Tucked in shirts and no cover garments are sort of required where I work.

The tuckables will work best with a slim gun like a Kahr or 1911. To me using a tuckable is like being technically concealed. You can't see a gun, but if someone has the ability to examine the area where the gun is they will see a bulge. They may not be able to say for sure what the bulge is, but it doesn't look normal.

I found that when using a tuckable cliping my cell phone just in front of the gun helped break up the look of the bulge.

Personally I think a better solution to CCW with slacks and tucked shirt is a pocket gun, ankle holster or smart carry. JM2c

Oh, as far as comfort with IWB and keeping the holster clean, something I found to help in both regards is wearing a tucked t-shirt between your skin and the holster.

Keeping the holster dry will be assisted by taking the gun out each night and leaving the holster out to dry. You also can wipe it down with a damp cloth to remove the salts of your perspiration. You also could use a towel dampened with Lexol every now and then.

If the holster gets really damp from sweat everyday it might be worth getting two and rotating. That's a tip I learned about preserving good leather shoes. Even if one has to wear Black wingtips everyday, the shoes will last more than twice as long by using two identical pairs and rotating them.

+1 on Craig at Lightning Arms. He talked with me (not down to me or at me) about my needs and happened to have what I needed (and wanted) in stock. I ordered it from Oregon on a Friday evening and it was way over here on Monday. It is tight. It is nice. Cost with shipping = $136, not much more than cost + shipping from Milt, without the wait Overall a pleasant experience.

I have boxes full of holsters from major names -- nothing touches Milt Sparks. The VM is IMO the best of the IWB holsters out there.

OK, thanks a bunch, the lot of ya! Now I had to finally break down and order one (VM-2, horsehide, cordovan, full-size 1911). Lightning Arms was out of stock and predicting about a month, so I just ordered direct from Milt Sparks and got exactly what I want.

<mumble grumble> Now that my holster won't suck, what am I going to have to grouse about <growl>

Flyboy I think that you'll be very pleased with your VM2. However in the event that you weren't for some reason it is comforting to know that the VM2 is so popular you could sell it for what you paid for it or darn close. So there's really very little risk in trying a VM2.
