I used to carry a Kimber. I eventually migrated from a VM II to a CTAC. Although the VM II is the absolute most comfortable and quality holster I’ve ever used, its average for retention, incredibly slow for presentation, and absolutely useless for adjustment (e.g., fore and aft rake angle). Based on your physique, it will dictate to you what position is best. I tried like hell to wear it at 3:00 and it insisted on shifting to 3:30+ as I went about my day. Once it found where it wanted to ride, it stayed. Unfortunately, it wasn’t my choice. Additionally, its forward rake angle didn’t really match my draw stroke ergonomics. With all that being said, it does ride very tight to the body, however the compromises were not worth it to me.
For my build, the CTAC has about 90% of the comfort of a VM II. I tuned it perfectly for the level of retention and forward rake I want. It rides exactly at 3:00 without shifting (no matter how many times a day I climb in and out of my truck), and draws like greased lightening. Another + for an all Kydex scabbard is that it doesn’t retain sweat. My VM II would never completely dry out during the summer. The sweat soaked leather was hell on my Kimber..
I have since moved to carrying a G23 (I know, I know… there goes my credibility) and have stayed with a CTAC. Great combination.
Both are great holsters. Both have their attributes, however, each comes with compromises.
