When looking to replace the Buy Brown holster, I went with Sidearmor in Flagstaff http://www.sidearmor.com/



Been "VERY" happy with the SA IWB, they should have a holidays sale starting soon $10-15 off. Use a G23 IWB for the G27, gives me flexibility. Went with the J hooks (less printing <–– big selling point) & think the 5 degree cant.





Tip with Sidearmor, dealers do not get the sale price when SA has a sale. Unless the dealer does an in store individual sale. Best bet check a dealers price & the SA website before buying.

I have a couple holsters from Sidearmor from years ago before I started buying Comp-tac gear.  The holsters are decent, but not as comfortable as the newer breed of kydex / leather amalgamations that are popular now.  I believe I've actually seen Sidearmor holsters in stock at Shooter's World the last time I was there, but was quite some time ago.



SGC stocks the Infidel (all kydex) holsters made by Comp-tac in their store.  Although if you're willing to wait a week or so for delivery, I'd suggest ordering an MTAC from Comp-tac personally, but just my personal preference.

Sidearmor doesn't currently have a model for the M&P.

If any arfcommers need any items that are current production, I can hook you up at 10% off of the MSRP price displayed on their website.  Normal factory ship times apply.
And I can get you the factory offered sale prices as well if that ends up being cheaper than the 10% discount I just offered.

+100.  I love my MTAC.  I always carried in a Galco IWB with a single J-hook, for years.  It was never that comfortable, but I put up with it.  I saw the MTAC's and ordered one.  Now that it's really broken in, I carry all day and just about forget I am.  It's seriously comfortable, even sitting down in the car.  My only complaint so far is that it caused the locking block pin and take down lever to rust where they contact the leather.  My G22 is nearly 20 years old, never had any rust, but within a few days of the MTAC those 2 items started showing it.  I don't know if it's something they used in the tanning or what.  It hasn't gotten worse, and for some reason the trigger pin hasn't rusted at all, so I'm letting it ride for now.  In a month or so I'll order new pins and a lever and see what happens.

Subrosa Holsters (formerly C&S Holsters).  According to a guy I talked to at the gunshow this last weekend he can make you a holster using your gun while you wait.  I've used a C&S IWB for my Glock 19 off and on for a few years and haven't had any issues. (480) 636-7457

Another holster maker is TSC Holsters.  I just picked up one of their UCR holsters at the gunshow.  A friend of mine has raved about them for years so when the chance to buy one without the wait came, I jumped on it.  So far, I like it but I've only had it for a week.  threatsolutions.com.

That's odd on the rust, I've carried a G30 and G26 and G19 in MTACs for years now and haven't had any rust.  Although if it's just the pins it's about $6 worth of parts to fix if you swing by Glockmeister in Mesa The MTACs are indeed the most comfortable I've found once you break them in.  I have one on every day from about 6am until 11pm with no comfort issues at all.



For Sidearmor stuff, one of the things they have that I love are the little mag holders that are really small and unobtrusive and can be configured horizontally.  The only downside is they have no quick on/off mechanism, so nowadays I prefer the comp-tac ones with the tek-lok.  A little more spendy, but worth it for the quick on/off.
