I'm going to order an Alien Gear, MTAC or Crossbreed eventually,  but am wondering if anyone has a lead on a store in the Triad that may stock a similar holster the I can pick up today. My usual haunts have a pretty lame holster selection.

OK, that went well. Greensboro sucks for decent shooting support gear. Plenty of gun shops, but none will step up to the plate and carry contemporary holsters, etc. And screw Gander Mtn.

I ordered a SHTF Gear Ace 1/gen. 2 from Hate 'Net (Amazon). Should be in tomorrow.

I did find a budding survival gear/gun store though https://defpg.com

Decent selection of survival gear (even had ceramic plates) and they are expanding to add a gun store. They are a sister company to Atlas Firearms in WS, if I heard them right. Nice guys that promote open carry. I think my wallet is going to get lighter, as their store is on one route I take home.

Yeah Greensboro area sucks for trying to find that kinda stuff. Streichers/Arringtons was pretty good until they closed that particular store. Colfax gun and ammo is hit and miss. Southern firearms sucks for holsters.

Southern Firearms sucks for everything. They'll never get another dime of my money. I almost drove to Fayetteville, but it was cheaper to have something shipped to the house.

All I carry for the 43 in my shop are Blade Tech AIWBs.

I just received a new Blackhawk ARC IWB holster in the mail today. I'm at work now, so I won't get to mess with it until later tonight. I'm hoping it's decent, and if it is it'll be tough to beat for $20 shipped.

You can catch them at a show or hit the web site.  http://mtrcustomleather.com/shop/
